Mum is a welcome addition. She's smart and personable. I hope we see more of her!!
I completely agree! 💁🏻♀️
She is going to be a great Grandmum. Hope we see more of her too.
Im late, southern comfort is a drink she says 🎉party mom
Dear Millie's Mum, you did an amazing job raising your daughter. I love the duo reaction video.
Green tomatoes are just red tomatoes that aren’t ripe yet. Red, ripe tomatoes fall apart if you fry them. And bread pudding is definitely a dessert , quite sweet!
Green tomatoes are simply tomatoes you picked before bug and heat season destroy them, or maybe second wind tomatoes before it gets too cold.
@@Bacopa68 Being in the frozen North, we always have green tomatoes on the vines when frost hits. My favorite thing to do with them is Green Tomato Chutney. Most years I have enough left over to can about 6 pints.
I use italian bread crumbs mixed with a little parmesan & salt instead of cornmeal to make my fried green tomatoes. They come out so tasty 🤤
You mean like it said in the video!?! ...and Just like They said, in the video!?
@@hectorsmommy1717 YUM!!
Green tomatoes are indeed unripe tomatoes.
It's nice to meet you, Millie's Mom!
Your mom seems very open minded when it comes to foods that are foreign to her. That's nice. My parents used to say, if you're willing to experiment with different foods, you'll never go hungry.
She seems like a foodie.
Exactly!
2 points for knowing the drink Southern Comfort, mom!
I use to go night skiing, and Southern Comfort was always the drink of choice to put in the bota bag! Keeps ya warm!!! (Not that it's a good and safe idea to drink while skiing, mind you.....)
-5 points if she actually likes SoCo
@@derpyeh9107 Different strokes for different folks.
@@sandraleigh4023 No. Some tastes are wrong. Southern Comfort is objectively bad, like Malört or Four Roses.
Bread Pudding is more of a desert. That's not to say one couldn't make a meal out of it, even if it wouldn't be the healthiest meal.
The best bread pudding is made from day old cinnamon rolls. You already have the sweetness so just mix up the eggs and milk for the custard and top it with a brandy sauce.
@@hectorsmommy1717 Excellent idea!! I have the feeling I would enjoy dinner at your house!!!! Heehee.....
@@sandraleigh4023 There is a place here that makes it with beignets and another with Krispy Kreme doughnuts think the best I ever had though was from Abuelos oh man is it good but they only make it from around Thanksgiving through January.
@@JesseLJohnson YUM!!
Fried green tomatoes are made using unripen tomatoes that are picked before turning ripe, the taste has slightly acidic taste and does not have the sweet taste of a ripe tomato, actually it would be very tasty fried and inserted into a full English breakfast. There plenty of online recipes for making fried green tomatoes to test out for yourselves , just takes a little prep-time but easy to made.
Millie, you and your Mom should make a few of these things together. Chicken potbpie, pecan pie, southern biscuits, jambalaya.
They can't make southern bisquits without the gravy!!!
I think Millie & James should cook some of their favorite local foods so we can see how it's done. Like a cooking show.
I'd watch
@@jtoland2333
Me, too!!
I'd watch!
The mom is always the perfect special guest ❤
While these dishes may have started in the South most of them are enjoyed all around America. I'm a 4th generation Oregonian and my Great Aunt made the best chicken and dumplings hands down. She also made wonderful biscuits and gravy...all from scratch. Loved seeing your mom on the channel with you!!
I was just going to say this. As someone who grew up in Brooklyn NY and lived there for 25 years and now has lived in S Florida for 23 years, I can safely say many of these dishes are enjoyed all around the country. Some are way different, in different parts of the country, yes. But most are literally just the dish shown here, perhaps with locally sourced ingredients instead etc. Chicken and dumplings were something I enjoyed my grandmother making for years, and she never even visited the south (but I can assure you, they were exactly how a Southerner would make them) until she retired and moved here to Florida. Chicken and waffles, I mean come on. Literally one of the best dishes imaginable, though I've seen it served with thick cut bacon and that just takes it to the next level. :D
You Yankees makin this Southern man HUNGRY! ❤😁
@@machfront Hey man, food is food, it binds everyone from everywhere. Same with music, it's basically universal. As with music, some food is more universally liked than other food (I'm looking at you any kind of seafood, ICK! lol) but I mean, biscuits and gravy? Check. Chicken and waffles? Check. And you can make them anywhere, as long as you put love into it as they say, that's all that matters :)
That’s so true and vice versa. I live in the south and love Philly cheesesteaks. Texmex. Seattle coffee. Rainier cherries. It’s crazy how many wonderful things we have in our country in so many different places 🥰
If you’ve never had grits or sweet tea, you are always welcome to come on down. 😃 do you have any favorite NW dishes??
Hi Millie’s Mom! At the end of the growing season when frost is imminent , sometimes we have to harvest a lot of green tomatoes before they have ripened. Fried green tomatoes is one way to use them. We also use those green tomatoes to make green pickle relish, which is great on hotdogs.
My mom made green tomato salsa with them once, it was great! 😊
OMG!! That made my day!! Millie’s mom is a delight, and your back and forth banter was fun!! Great job to all!! 🥰
Hi, Millie's mom! It's good to see a new face on the channel, appreciate your reactions. Fun video with you both 😃
Hi Millie’s mom. It’s a pleasure to ‘virtually’ meet you. I hear Millie sweet talked you into making her a Chicken Pot Pie. As a Southerner, I have a little tip for you. Buy the pre-rolled crusts. No one has time for all that mess. 😂 No judgements here. It’s one of my favorites. Especially, on a cool or rainy day. It’s very filling and comforting.
Millie your Mom is wonderful 😊! More videos with her please.
I really enjoyed that. Your Mum is a great addition! 🙂 She seemed very into it. Would really like to see her reaction to other foods and recipes. Much love to The Beesley family. ❤
I'd love to have you stop on by our home here in North Carolina for some good old southern recipes that've been passed down from my great-grandmother to my grandmother to my mom to me and now my kids. It's all about tradition! You two are adorable!❤
Now you're making me hungry! A plate of fried gizzards with some fried okra sounds great right now!
The only thing better than this would be a try video. Like cooking an American dish you guys are interested in. With your mom, cooking is always easier. Love this stuff! Can’t wait to see little baby James in the videos.
This is a great idea! Mother and daughter cooking something new, together.
GRANDMA......HELLO FROM FLA USA. So nice to see you with Millie. Ill bet your you're just filled with excitement for your new grandchild to arrive. Wishing you all the best of everything and hope to see you more..... Remember, the louder the toy the more the grandchild will like it........🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Fried okra ROCKS. Slice the okra, buttermilk soak, drain well, dredge in cornmeal, fry, a gentle mist of salt and *poof* perfection.
At the end, Millie said we we wouldn't be as brave. Nice refrence to the last words of our anthem.
Just like every daughter on the planet: “Mom, will you please make me the dish I really want to try but am not confident enough to tackle on my own?” I can’t tell you how many times my own Mom did just that! Chicken Pot Pie is truly delicious, as are most of the New Orleans dishes. One thing though - beignets are basically just square donuts with powdered sugar on top. Loved that Mum is joining in. Peace …
"just" square donuts???????? BLASPHEMOUS!!!!!!!!!
@@sandraleigh4023 LOL, I did say basically. I just wanted to reference something they would know, no shade intended. I love New Orleans cuisine.
@@pjb3583 Ok - I forgive you!!
I love seeing a mother daughter duo that isnt based on exposing how great the parent is at making the family happy. Usually they end up as fakes who are really abusive parents..... So your mom is awsome in my mind for doing this with you as a professional youtuber. Just two gals reacting to interesting cuisine and enjoying themselves. You two are great examples of one way how a mother and daughter should act.
Hush puppies come from old southern cooking. In plantations, the kitchen was an out building, in case there was a fire. The cooks, usually slaves, had to carry the food from the kitchen to the dining room. Plantations have lots of dogs and gather around and pester the cooks. One way to keep the dogs down was to feed them. The fatty dough balls did the trick hence, “Hush Puppies”.
Your mum is absolutely right...Southern Comfort is a drink!! Used to be my favorite!! Welcome mum!! You're an awesome addition!!😊😊😋😋
Millie did a great job taking the lead and it was great having a wiser 😉 person being able to make references to similar English food. Great job ladies!
Boiled peanuts are best when they are green, which means freshly harvested. It makes a big difference. Really enjoyed your mom being on the show. Chicken fried steak is a favorite in Alabama. Gizzards and liver are great together. My mom would fry the gizzards, put them in the pressure cooker for a bit and bake it oven with livers. GOOD food! It’s typically the black community that eats chitlins’ (chicken intestines) Mayo and fruit together is a great combination. A favorite in the south is a banana sandwich, which is made by putting mayo on the bread and slicing a banana to go between, or smearing peanut butter on the bread. If you want to immerse yourself in southern dishes that southern cooks put on the table daily, go to “Cooking with Brenda Gantt”
Brenda Gantt is the real deal!
Weren’t banana and peanut butter sandwiches a favorite of Elvis’??
I have one of Brenda Gantt’s southern cookbooks and love it. I live in Oklahoma, and Brenda Gantt is from Alabama I think, but she cooks all the things my mom cooked for me as I grew up.
@@corinnepmorrison1854 Yes, with mayo I think. When I first moved from Cali to Atlanta, I worked with an old Southern gal who ate banana and mayo sandwiches for lunch. I'm sorry, but....... 🤢
Im from Alabama too. Lived here my whole life. Grew up eating naner sandwiches and cheese and mayo sandwiches too.
Aww, Millie ur mum is wonderful & awesome to meet her this way. She did great & would love to see her again & maybe sometime u both could do a cooking segment trying something someone sent or just trying or showing one of ur favorite dishes. Thank u both so much, it was lovely.
😍😻🙏🫶👍💐💐
In America you have so many different cultures that try new recipes and add their own twists to it and often make it even better.
Millie, your mom is amazing! If you haven't yet, please please please watch the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. It's such a great story and one of my favorites, and it really is a great way to experience some southern culture through great storytelling.
Regarding chitlins... I don't normally eat them however if you have any kind of reticence eating them because of where they originated ask yourself if you've ever eaten any sausages with natural skins that you have to bite your way through. Ever think about where those skins came from? 🤔😁
The movie clip with Jessica Tandy and Kathy Bates is from the movie Fried Green Tomatoes. Definitely one you should watch.
Toad in the hole....? Could you guys please do a show for the Americans to see your comfort foods? I'm so intrigued! And biscuits and gravy is the ONE food my mom cooks me that brings me the most comfort of all the southern foods I grew up eating. Thinking about it makes me miss my mom....who is literally my next door neighbor. 😂
❤ you and your mom are a joy to watch !!! Thank you for defending biscuits and gravy!
I feel the same way about chittlins as you do about black pudding, Millie! ❤️🇺🇸
If you do chicken pot pie, a good cheat is to buy puff pastry (or pre-made pie crust) so you can just focus on the filling the 1st go round 😊
My grandma used to pickle the green tomatoes that were left at the end of the season and they were my favorite to snack on throughout the winter. Can’t wait to have a garden again someday!
Biscuits and gravy is my ultimate comfort food. After a bad day, biscuits, gravy, and fried chicken will cheer me up!
A really good reaction video! It's nice to see Millie's mom and hope to see more of her. ❤
Aww Millie, your mom is lovely and she was a natural on there with you. Great job ladies!! 😊
That was sooo cool. Millie's Mom was delightful. Lets see the other Moms and Dads...
It might be James mom turn now. 😅
Ambrosia salad is really good in the summer or for a picnic.
Millie--your mother seems like a perfectly lovely lady. Please get her to join you in some more videos. Who knows, you may be able to tease her into making you even more home cooked dishes!
That’s awesome that Millie’s mom has joined her in a video. Awesome.
Red beans and rice with andoulli sausage is AMAZING! Try it if you ever get the chance.
Fun to watch you 2! As a southerner. Some of those dishes, I've never even tried, but a lot I have. Thanks!
As a 48 year old cook from Georgia, this stuff can’t compare to the authentic stuff I grew up on.
Absolutely. I loved my days in Alabama and in S. Caroline. I swear, I gain weight every time I'm in the South.
Great. When you gonna set up a cooking school in London?
@@mudageki as soon as you build the building! 😁
Your mom is a great addition to the channel. I hope to see more of her! It's not exactly an American idea to be creative. It's just trial and error. When I make my mash, I like to add mashed or pureed roasted garlic or crumbled bacon or shredded cheddar cheese. It is the how much part that's the key. Chicken & waffles are great because waffles don't have to be sweet. They can be savory also. In fact, I saw a waffle that made out of premixed stuffing/dressing that we would use on Thanksgiving. I've seen and made macaroni & cheese with everything from bacon to shrimp/prawns and lobster. It's all goes by what you know. My only advice is if you're going to serve it to guests, make it for yourself first. Can you tell I love to cook? 😊
Will say, the addition of mum was an awesome thing :), so poised and personable . :)
Pot pie is delicious, and can be easy to make. For a first timer, take a pound or less of chopped, cooked turkey or chicken, it doesn't matter if it's boiled, roasted, or grilled. Mix that with a can of condensed cream of chicken soup, maybe a splash of milk, some frozen mixed vegetables, like peas, corn, and carrots and season to taste. I like mine with lots of garlic and rosemary, some add onion or other herbs. Pour in your filling, seal and vent the crust, then bake on lowish heat until the crust browns.
I use rum sauce over my bread pudding. It sounds very similar to the UK’s😊
It would be fun to see your Mum react to Popeyes and one of the Barbecue restaurants to see if she enjoys it.
Your mom is terrific! Thanks for introducing her to us.
I live in the south and would happily send your mum some great recipes. I grew up in Los Angeles though and cooking has always been a huge passion of mine.
Great to have a video with Millie and her mom. ❤
I was so excited when I saw millie’s mom was gonna be in a video
I grew up in Indiana and have lived in 8 other states (both in the North and the South), much of what they classified as Southern Food can be found just about everywhere. Even in the Southern States the foods can vary depending on what is available locally.
Chicken and dumplings and chicken pot pie certainly are not southern any more than thy are northern or eastern etc.
Like so many wonderful dishes from all around the world, many of these Southern favorites were created out of poverty & necessity. People used what was readily available & cheap. They created delicious things that are now loved by everyone at all income levels. An example of such a food is sausage. It was created to use up every single scrap of an animal, including offal. It's all ground up & stuffed into intestines. Now, that was definitely created by people who couldn't afford to waste anything! But it's so good!
Fried green tomatoes are unripe red tomatoes…they are firmer and more tart. I was raised eating them with Sunday dinner!
Bread puddings is a dessert here too. That's just an American portion size
We need a Chicken Pot Pie video!
Mmmmm. Chicken and dumplings is the special treat my great grandmother used to make for me whenever I came to visit.
Hello Millie's Mum. We want to congratulate you on your grandchild soon to be born. I love being a Grandfather. It's a nonstop adventure and blessing. Time just goes by so fast. Millie and James will be great parents. They are such a sweet couple. My Family looks forward to every video they post. We cant wait till the baby comes. God Bless Y'all. From Texas
I would call bread pudding a dessert, for sure
I love that fact that your mom was apart of this video, hope she's in more upcoming ones!
Love seeing families react together!
I love this. I will like to see more of Millie’s mom. You guys did a great job together.
When I would visit my grandma in Oklahoma, she would wake up at the crack of dawn and roll out dough and make fresh biscuits and homemade sausage gravy, sausage, eggs, and bacon. I remember the smell and how amazing it was along with the smell of fresh coffee brewing. Miss those days!!
My wife and I ab....so....loot....ly loved this. What a team. smashed it have mum back....missed James. Hope all is going well with baby beez...
Loved meeting you, Mom, you and your lovely daughter made a very entertaining video. Love the conversation between you.
You pick the tomato off your plant when it is green and firm and yes they are on the sour side and delicious when fixed correctly. A special dish in spring.
My dad loved to experiment when he cooked. The rules- 1. Use good ingredients so the food will be good, the flavor may or may not be to your liking... 2. Write down what you do. 3 be honest about your experience. 4. Remember you have permission to request that item not be made again. 5. Make suggestions on improving the dish.
One of my favorite memories we were having a fish fry at the end of gardening season. Dad picked the final offerings from the garden, battered and fried as the sides... We discovered some surprises. Cucumbers and green beans were awesome where the bell peppers were not.
Try something different and find new favorites.
The green tomatoes offer a wonderful tartness to fried green tomatoes. They're wonderful!
It’s good to see mother and daughter in this video.
Very nice to finally meet you, Millie's Mom!!
Nice to see you 2 doing a video together.
Mum is a welcomed addition to the mix. Pecan pie is best warm with a dollop of butter melting on top.
I really enjoyed this video because of the conversation between mother and daughter.
Fried green tomatoes are indeed tart, though not quite like a pickled gerkin. It's a great way to bring out the sugars in unripe tomato. That recipe is also used for yellow summer squash, though sliced thinner.
Fried green tomatoes are an end of season dish for us. We pick the last of the tart green tomatoes and fry them up. I serve it with a dill sauce. They are delicious.
Such A Great Video & So Sweet To See How You ❤ & Your Mom Are When You're Together!! More Videos Like This Please 💕 I'm Sending 💌 Y'all Lots Of Prayers 🙏, Blessings 💕, Hugs 🤗 From My Family To Yours!! I live in GA 🇺🇸
Okra and tomatoes, banana peppers pudding, and Brunswick stew. So good!
Mayo and fruit can be really good. A pineapple sandwich with mayo is wonderful. Sometimes I even put cheese on it too. Yum
Pineapple and cottage cheese over iceburg lettuce .... mix pineapple juice with mayo for the dressing. 👍
Millie and mom make a great combination. Mom you raised a really good girl
For the record, I've never seen someone eat cheese with biscuits and gravy like they do in that video.
I'm from the UK and have lived in the US for over 40 years. I can tell yoiu that chicken gizzards when done properly are quite tasty.
Fried green tomatoes are fantastic. They go with almost any breakfast food.
If you ever make any kind of greens, add a spoon of sugar to take the bitterness out. When describing it to me , My Nana said " it takes the green out" in her beautiful southern accent.
Love the reaction video with your Mum !
Nice to meet your mum!!! Hush puppies are the best.
Okra is my jam. it can be fried, stewed, pickled or raw. they are easy to grow, hearty plants that will produce until first freeze. they have beautiful yellow flowers.
To add a little context, many of the people living the Southern U.S. states were historically very poor, so many of the dishes were born out of using every edible plant and every part of an animal. Nothing went to waste. My mother grew up in Arkansas during the Depression (1920’s and early 1930’s) and ate dishes not mentioned in this video like Poke Salit, head cheese, etc. Green tomato dishes were derived to use the still growing tomatoes that wouldn’t ripen before the onset of colder weather. And actually the prolific frying of foods in the South was related to a way of food preservation. Fried foods survive longer I’m the heat than raw or boiled foods.
The ambrosia fruit salad is usually made with cool whip or whipped cream. Not Mayo or cream cheese.
I loved meeting your Mom!! What an awesome video! I live in Georgia (USA) so this was lots of fun for me!
Okra is very much a vegetable. It's a kind of seed pod that's in the same family as hibiscus, mallow and cotton. They have a mild flavor, and along with frying them, they are used to make sauces and as an ingredient in some forms of gumbo.
Milli Okra is a green. Orca is a Whale
Milli’s mom needs to try Scrapple . It’s actually made from pork scraps . Use Molasses for a topping along with southern biscuits or cornbread . She would love it
Boiled peanuts are a national treat in the Philippines too! When I brought my Filipino wife (that I met in England) to Georgia she was so happy to find boiled peanuts everywhere!
The biggest thing with chitterlings is being VERY thorough with cleaning out anything inside them.
You cook tomatoes green before they ripen! Green tomatoes are firmer and fry up well.
Fried green tomatoes are the green un ripe tomato. They are tart when green. It's one of my fav summer treats and fried zucchini
I was born and raised in GA. My mom used to say you could tell a really good southern restaurant by this: if you order Pot Liquor and they actually know what your talking about. Lol. Pour it over some cornbread and you're set. 💗
Biscuits are softer, flaky, and buttery. Scones are more dense and dry.
