This episode was so funny. Still waiting for the "Office Blokes Try traveling to the United States". 🤣
I wanna see them travel to the small town Midwest. “Flyover country” no one comes here, but they should!
I live in a town of 300, the 2 closest 'cities' are less than 15,000. Come here hahaha..
The chef with the white hair is Guy Fieri. He had a show based in New Jersey some time ago, so it could have been him.
Diners, Drine-ins, and Dives. Also, Gordon Ramsey was the first white haired guy that was shown too.
Okra is so great. We also stew it with tomatoes and onions (Okra and Tomatoes), which I prefer.
I can't believe pinto beans and corn bread wasn't mentioned. In some cases it is eaten as a complete meal.
They eat Heinz beans on toast (really good btw) which is very similar to beans and cornbread
I really like okra. But many people hate the sliminess that is prominent when it is cooked some ways.
Okra is okay. But the first time you see a platter of stewed okra (Caribbean), it does indeed look like a tray of snot
Or poke salat
Im from Arkansas born and raised in the sticks and these are meals I ate on a daily basis for the most part.. I know it is off-putting to see a lot of these staples in the southern diet but trust and believe when cooked properly each of these bring a flavor profile that is indescribable. I've enjoyed you guys immensely sharing your thoughts and views. Keep up the good work!🙏🏾✌🏾
Honestly same and lets be honest is not like she showed even the best of what we have here anyway.
Grew up in Arkansas too (Sherwood!) and I have to admit, that first pic of biscuits and gravy looked awful haha
@@dtk1981 yeah there is so many others... Fried potatoes, hamburger steaks and gravy, banana pudding (not that jello kind either), all kinds of wild game... We have so much to offer its crazy when you think about it
@@smdftb8495 man I stopped the video and showed my wife and we both said Wtf is that!! It was a bad example and the chicken and dumplings didnt look the best either ... I'll just say great list but really washed presentations.. Like the bacon in the greens..thats fine if thats all u have but we all know dry salt is where its at 😂
Same here bub. 501!
Baked macaroni and cheese is a staple at Thanksgiving and Easter and in my family no one makes it like Mama. If someone else volunteered to make it, it better be perfect or we consider the meal ruined and you will NEVER live it down!😂😂
Baked mac and cheese is the best!
My guy friend finally convinced his grandma to let him make it for Thanksgiving last year. He made it and somehow in the 5 foot distance from the kitchen to the table, he dropped the entire thing and his grandma banned him from the kitchen for every future Thanksgiving. 😅 Were it not for company, she probably would have sent him to his room with no dinner...he's 28. 🤣
We NEVER have Mac and cheese for thanksgiving because no one ever makes it right, so I finally tried the Patti Labelle Mac and cheese because everyone raves about it and everyone who ate it at our meal said it was the driest Mac and cheese they ever had. 🤦🏻♀️
@@jaquelin1887 that’s cause white people love that stove top Mac and cheese 🤦🏽♀️🤮
I have to make 2 trays of my 7 cheese blend baked Mac n cheese every Thanksgiving and there are always none left over.
My family and I are from New Orleans with extended family in Mississippi. When it came to food, we were blessed. I had most of the things on this list. My mom even softens and cooks gizzards in her dressing sometimes. It's actually very good.
A gizzard is essentially a chicken's stomach although they technically have 3 organs that carry out the function of a stomach (crop, proventriculus, and gizzard) the gizzard is the final stage of break down before it enters the intestinal tract. The gizzard is filled with small bits of stone and grit to help physically grind the food down.
Sounds delish (sic) Lol
It's good tasting but very CHEWY.
@@josephsoto9933 Yeah that's why in that vid it showed that guy scoring the gizzard to tenderize it. They are really good.
The part you get in the store is just the muscle around the gizzard. There are no stones in them by the time they get to market.
EXTREMELY chewy. If you’ve never had it. It have had calamari, it’s basically that. It’s tasty but it’s like chewing on an eraser lol.
I’ve never been a fan of mixing salty and sweet trust me, I don’t even like syrup on anything other than waffles but Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles is absolutely delicious 😋 I’m glad I changed my mind and tried it, love it!
The guy with the white hair is Guy Fieri, on the episode of Tosh.0 that you watched with Reviewbrah and the pizza shop, that is who he was referencing while wearing the white spikey hair wig.
Biscuits and gravy had all my life. Lived in the Northeast of America, but my dad was from Kentucky. Had alot of cornbread growing up.
I saw Gordon Ramsay and Paula Deen both celebrity chefs in the video.
The chef you're talking about at the 14:50 mark is Guy Fieri. He has had a bunch of shows on the Food Network including Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and Guy's Grocery Games.
Yeah think that’s him 👍🏻
As someone from Kentucky I’ve NEVER seen these hear in the south lol 😂 what ARE THOSE biscuits and gravy are fluffy and heavenly.
Also watch lost in the pond’s “guess what these southern words mean” plz
Daz at 14:45 I think you're referring to Guy Fieri....yes hes a famous American T.V. chef
Worked in Sainsbury when i was twenty one and told a part time younger lad to rotate the apples ( meaning dates ) went out 15 minutes later to him rotating every apple one hundred and eighty degrees.
Chicken and waffles are one of those strange sounding combinations that will definitely blow your mind. It's just that good.
I am from Queensland Australia. I grew up not far from a bunch of peanut farms. I have had peanuts raw, salted, curried, sugar coated, boiled, and other ways. I thought boiled peanuts were available everywhere and that everyone knew what they are. I grew up on those. They are soo good. And I was very surprised to learn that first they are an American thing and that you guys have never heard if them. Look for some. Try them on your Try Channel. You guys will love them.
A lot of Americans have never tried boiled peanuts. Its purely a southern thing. Though some people all over the country swear by salted peanuts and Coke together
Somebody please explain to them that Louisiana has more cuisine than just some fried dough 🙄🤦
Yes I’m literally from lousiana my hometown we don’t cook like this
As a 57 yr old southern woman, I have never had squirrel and do not know anyone else that has. Never had a gizzard either.
White haired guy is Guy Fierrei
I just tried chicken and waffles for the first time recently and it was really good! The sweet and savory flavors went together in the best way possible. I also had gumbo for the first time on the same trip and it was amazing.
Fried chicken and waffles is fantastic. I didn’t have it until my 30’s. Then again gravy and Fried chicken over pancakes was crazy to me as a kid and I wasn’t brave enough to try. It’s excellent if the gravy is done right. In Taiwan 🇹🇼 they have Rice Burgers…excellent
We do biscuits and gravy all over the US. That's not just a southern thing. I live in Michigan and I get them almost every time I go out for breakfast. Pretty much every diner in America has them on the menu.
I'm convinced Michigan is a misplaced southern state 😂 Its seems to me to be easiest to find in States with lots of hunting, fishing, farming and/or ranching. Good old boys need a big breakfast early that gets them through until lunch.
@ubaker4460 A lot of the Midwest has Southern influences due to The Great Migration. I grew up in Southern Indiana and it's the same, when I moved to the deep South everything was already familiar to me, even the accent.
On another note, I've never seen biscuits and gravy with freaking slices of CHEESE on it. That would not fly where I'm from.
I grew up on a farm here in Pennsylvania. When you cream a squirrels and slather them on biscuits you can't tell the difference between squirrel and turkey. Delicious!!!!
Guy Fieri is probably the most beloved celebrity chef in America ever since we lost Anthony Bourdain.
That's debated
@@LindaC616 Not much to debate - Guy isn't a chef.
@@joeees7790 aah...I don't think I've ever watched his show
Chicken fried steak is fucking BOMB. They have it across the country. Every Denny’s has it, surprisingly not bad, I’ve had many a chicken fried steak from a Denny’s after a drunken adventure lol.
I'm southern and I absolutely adore boiled peanuts. They boil them in super salty water and spices. So good. By the way the gravy they show is trash. It looked like all meat with a spoon of gravy mixed in. It's supposed to be the other way around ... I thick creamy milk gravy with pork sausage as seasoning.
Some of these dishes I grew up with in Pennsylvania and are originally from the Amish. The chicken and waffles I grew up on from the Amish are homemade waffles and chicken made with homemade chicken stock thickened into a gravy and served over the waffles. The Amish Chicken and dumplings are to die for and are mouth-watering as well as chicken pot pie. More people should try Amish cooking.
I'm in Georgia about an hour from Atlanta....We eat or have eaten most of these. Our food is truly delicious, I must say. Everyone has their own way of making these dishes, though. For instance, my mom's ambrosia recipe doesn't include ANY dairy at all, just fruits, nuts, marshmallow, and coconut...and it is heavenly! I feel that a lot of these dishes/meals came about because there were a lot of poorer people here who were just using what they had/could get from the land for free to survive and not starve, and now it's just a part of our culture. All of my granparents grew up on farms and would eat and serve things I would never eat, but most people around me would. My dad used to always have a jar of pickled pig's feet in the refrigerator to snack on (shudder) and talked about eating scrambled pig's brains for breakfast when he was young (no thanks).
Hell yeah
Hello fellow Georgian
I'm from and still live in New Orleans. Beignets are great, but I have to talk about that second food - I do love Biscuits & Gravy, but the gravy is NOT supposed to look GREY like that. It's supposed to look closer to the chicken fried steak white gravy @7:57.
I’m not from the south, polar opposite, Minnesota actually. But don’t let that fool you, the grannies around here are just as good as the southern ones when it comes to home cooking. Thanksgiving and Christmas is otherworldly good.
Bless your hearts! Okra is amazing, any way you prepare it. I toss the entire pos in olive oil and a variety of seasonings and roast it in an oven.
Mark 18:13. Aha! Finally an honest answer as to what, "Hush Puppies", are made of! Too many people have said, "Dog meat?", and eat it anyway! But I read something about cornmeal somewhere. However, the big problem with them, for me, is that at buffets, they look like the stuff I avoid eating! I can't visually tell them apart, so I need something clearly labeled, and the option to slice something open to see what is inside it. 😳
Oh, that is also the brand name for some comfort shoes whose commercials have the impression that they were made from puppies! At least the 1970s ones. 😳
Another deep fried southern goodness. Take dill pickles, and fry them up in the exact same way as the fried green tomatoes, and serve with a ranch sauce, with hot sauce. YUM!
Texas fair they deep fry everything even Oreos and deep fried sticks of butter
@Casey.. That aint even southern anymore, everybody does it lol. You can get fried Oreos n literally fry anything they have in the store. On the boardwalk at the Jersey shore ive seen Fried kool aid!
Oh my god, fried pickles are AMAZING. Just add Ranch.
I sent one of our apprentices after a 6 inch A S S reamer off he went I was crying I was laughing so hard, the look on his face when he got back form the tool crib was priceless.
As a southern Georgia Boy I will say this is amazing "southern comfort foods". I've had pretty much everything listed here except for chitlins. I could never convince myself to even try it. As for the smell it is true. There was a local home grown restaurant near where I lived and they had a chitlin night. Where it was all you can eat chitlins. They didn't even need to put their sign outside to tell you it was chitlin night. You could smell it all the way out in the streets.
I think shitlins is a more fitting name
Chitlins can be good. Their taste has an edge to them.
@@dynamicentry6157 hahaha I'm going to have to use that now.
@@cblanerun no I don't want to eat pig assholes. On top of that I don't eat pork. You may say "but Joe they do have beef chitlins" and I will say this. How does that make it any better? An asshole is still an asshole no matter how many differ ones you eat.
@@dynamicentry6157 lol I call them that also
everything on this list is great, except the boil peanuts. They are right about one thing they are best ate outside so you can spit them out of your mouth when you realized you made a big mistake. They are all over the south, im a southerner and i still cant eat them. great video guys keep up the great work.
You guys would for sure fall in love with A Texas Prailine Pie
Chef Guy Fieri has a long running show Drive Ins, Diners and Dives
Haha I love salty and sweet. Breakfast sausage and maple syrup is an awesome combo (also why people love the McGriddle lol)
In south Texas, we grow okra in our local gardens. When we want okra, we just go cut some. then we season and fry it. I freakin' LOVE fried okra!
Never inhale while biting a beignet, the powdered sugar will smother you! There is too much sausage for the amount of gravy! Is there gravy there? Should be lots more gravy. My dad, who was born in 1910, would be sent to his aunt's whenever his mom gave birth to one of his siblings. His aunt and uncle farmed in Illinois (a northern state). Breakfast there was ham, eggs, biscuits, red eyed gravy and apple pie. React to "Must-Try New Orleans Foods: Free Tours by Foot" on the Free Tours by Foot - New Orleans channel. Or try "Scottish Guy Tries NEW ORLEANS FOOD For The First Time" on the Shaun channel.
You forgot to say not to exhale either while eating beignets, you'll be covered in powdered sugar. Lol
@@PolluxFeyd10191 So true! And never wear black when eating beignets.
The chef you were talking about is Guy Fieri . He has a very popular show on cable named "Diners,Drive-ins ,and Dives " where he travels all over the country eating at small eateries
A lot of Southern cooking derives from the slaves who where limited on what foods the could obtain and damn did they do right!
You might want to look up the origin of some of that food.
Seems like they left a lot of southern food out. I noticed some of the cooking shows have northern cooks. You'd have to see an elderly lady from the south cook those biscuits and gravy. I have never seen square biscuits. No chittlins for this southerner.Good home grown green beans seasoned with fat back and cooked with new potatoes.Home made slaw and ripe maters from the garden.Fried cabbage,fried corn,fried green maters.Oh and cornbread. I just made myself hungry,lol.
I love chicken and waffles SO much, but even though they are thought of as a southern food, they really got their start by Jazz Musicians in Harlem NY...Working late night gigs and getting done at very late/early hours it became a staple of "Do I want Dinner? Breakfast?" Bam...Chicken and waffles..
A gizzard, in many birds, is the hind part of the stomach, especially modified for grinding food. Most birds, like chickens, don't have teeth to chew with, so they swallow small stones that end up in the gizzard and they pounds the food into a slurry that's easier to digest.
Gumbo needs okra. Can't believe she skipped that.
Mark 24:15. "Thai food"? 🤔
Lots of Comedians: "Do you know what they call, Mexican food in, Mexico? Food! Do you know what they call, Chinese food, in China? Food!" 😆
A certain movie with, "Larry the Cable Guy": "Here, we just call it a, stand-off!" 😆
I’ve said it on some other reaction videos, and I’ll say it again…I’m a southerner, and that biscuits and gravy does NOT look right…and cheese on the biscuits? What?😂
Squirrel is the thinking man’s chicken. Lol
The biscuits and gravy at 2:40 are a crime and I'm a Yankee. There shouldn't be any cheese, the sausage gravy should be creamy, and the biscuits should definitely not look a week old.
I also am from the north, and I agree with this statement. Too much sausage in the gravy.
I am from the south and was wondering why there was cheese on those old looking biscuits.
I'm from the Midwest and I have never seen cheese with biscuits and gravy!
Channels like these are bad for foreigners looking to learn about the U.S.
Thats what I love about living in south Texas.
We have Cajun/Creole food to the east,and Mexican to the west along with Tex Mex and of course BBQ especially Brisket.
And we cant leave out good old Southern cooking and soul food. Oh...and some fantastic seafood!!!
The variety of styles make living in Texas a foodies paradise.
Houston has more restaurants than any city in the US.
You will not believe how frighteningly bad Chitterlings smell while cooking. You have to leave the house. Then, you won't believe how good they taste. It's like some magical transformation on your taste buds. Some of the best tasting food you'll eat.
It’s wild how some stuff is that way. And then there’s some things that smell amazing but are so simple and not that cool. Like I’ll have just thrown some onions in a sauté pan and people will be like “that smells amazing what ya making?” Uh, it’s just onions. If you are em now, straight, you’d not be impressed. Lol
They say durian is the same way. Horrendous smell, tastes like banana custard
Okra is a green veggie, elongated and full of seeds. Love it pickled or fried or in stews. Not everyone likes it.
The taste is pretty neutral. I think most people are scared by the slimy texture
I love some pickled okra
I love okra stewed with tomatoes and onions!! Very good!!
@@LindaC616 it's not slimey when fried.
In NC, and in many other places from the South, we have Chicken and Pastry. The pastry is rolled thin and flat and added to boiled chicken that has been cooked with onions and celery and carrots. I have actually never seen dumplings in any restaurants down here. Cracker Barrel does have dumplings down here, but they are flat dumplings.
Squirrel wrapped in bacon is delicious.
Charlotte North Carolina here! Love the channel boys, keep it up!!
the mac n cheese clip you guys all laughed at is from 30 Rock. idk if it would be great for reacting, but it's one of my favorite shows of all time. worth watching for sure
A farmer who raised hogs for slaughter once told me that they used every part of the pig except the squeal. :)
Mark 16:40? "Newman", from the, "Soup Nazi", episode of, "Seinfeld". 😆
Born and raised in Alabama still there in the hills and hollers. These dishes are so good. No canned biscuits. Mayo in ambrosia salad I don't think so. You don't see a lot of chittlings anymore mostly older people.
Chili with cornbread smothered in honey butter and sweet potato casserole is a must
I've never heard of ambrosia made with mayonnaise in my life, and I've got a lot of southern women in my family, so I've crossed paths with a lot of ambrosia.
Me either.
I've had it with cream cheese and whipped cream!
I grew up in Virginia and Dukes mayo was the only way I knew how to make ambrosia salad. It wasn’t until i moved away that I learned it could be made with other dairy products. By the time you add heavy cream and confectioners sugar to the mayo, it’s no longer savory. But instead it gives the salad a creamy roundness of flavor. I prefer it over the other options but it may be because it reminds me of home.
I'm with you guys on the savory and sweet. I've had fried chicken and waffles and, to me, they're better separate, but lots of people love them. Gizzards and chitlins are nasty to me. I think of it as food eaten during the Great Depression where they use to eat everything right down to the bone marrow. I thought I'd like gizzards, but nope.
Pass on the Gizzards - Nasty like Liver. Pass on Chitlins - Nasty and they Stink when being cooked........
I’m from the North, so chicken and waffles sounded bizarre to me too. I went on a trip to Charleston SC a couple years ago, and tried it on a whim, and HO-LY FUUCK is it good. Fried chicken, waffles, butter with chopped up pecans in it, maple syrup, AND hot sauce! It’s not a dish, it’s a fucking symphony of flavors!
Where in the north. Im from Pennsylvania and chicken and waffles is staple diner food.
@@jacobjones4766 I'm from Washington state and never had it until I was in Texas
The Amish make the best chicken and waffles!
Marshmallows and Mayonnaise together! Madness, utter madness!!!!
Ha, when she said, "if you hadn't tried these before, well bless your heart." I'm not sure she knows that that is often the Southern way of saying "F*** you" in a euphemistic way. :-D
Gizzards are the first digestive organ in birds. They keep stones and grit in there to ”chew” their food. It is a dark meat flavor. They can be rather chewy. We used to have meals of gizzards, hearts & livers.
Mike try my fav nyc spots…
Artichoke Pizza - try the artichoke slice and pepperoni slice
Russ & Daughters for Bagels
Dumont Burger for the Mac & Cheese
Empanada mama’s - get the cheeseburger empanada with extra green sauce on the side.
Mark 14:47. Okay. Actress Fannie Flagg, of "Candid Camera" fame...
Well, just read this!
Fannie Flagg, is an American actress, comedian and authoress. She is best known as a semi-regular panelist on the 1973-1982 versions of the game show, "Match Game", and for the 1987 novel, "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" which was adapted into the 1991 motion picture, "Fried Green Tomatoes". "Wikipedia"
Born: September 21, 1944 (age 77 years), Birmingham, AL.
Parents: William Hurbert Neal, Jr., Marion Leona.
There. What you saw with the two ladies, was a scene from the movie. A movie about subtle cannibalism, in that the women deal with the bad men in their lives, by killing them, and converting their bodies into some sort of meaty "comfort food". 🤢😱🤮
The"chef with the white hair" is Guy Fieri. He's the host of the Food Network series Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.
Boiled peanuts are the best. Especially Cajun
I typically don't mix up my savory and sweets BUT in Southern Cali - Los Angeles there is a famous chicken and waffle place called Roscoe's and maaaaaan THAT is delish!
Re; the ambrosia mixed with "mayonnaise". There is "mayonnaise" and there is "salad dressing". They both look the same and some people use them interchangeably, however, "salad dressing" is sweeter than mayonnaise so it gets used in a lot of fruit salads.
You referenced the white haired cook. That was Guy Fieri. He is the host of Triple D (Diners, Drive-ins and Dives) on the Food Network and other programs. He also has a few restaurants of his own and is from CA, not NJ.
The guy with the white hair is Guy Fieri, a popular and well known chef and food critic. He travels a lot, finding and tasting different foods.
If you eat boiled peanuts make sure they are Cajun boiled peanuts.
Ambrosia when made with mayonnaise is best made the night before and then let stand (refrigerated) over night. It will draw the sugar from the marshmallows and be quite sweet the next day.
@Office Blokes React The look on you gents' faces watching that, reminded me of those exploited, Ethiopians on those Sally Struthers commercials. LOL!!! I love the channel. Cheers!!!
Oh, and chicken and waffles was first made as we know it today in Harlem, NY...not the south. And it's best served with hot honey, not syrup and hot sauce.
Cajun boiled peanuts are fucking amazing
Here in the Midwest we eat a lot of southern comfort food as well as our own. Tater tot casserole, noodle dishes, dumplings, puppy chow, buckeyes, corn dogs, sweet corn on the cob, chili, spaghetti and meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy…. Mmm. Lots of meat and potatoes.
The Northeast and Northwest have their own things going on.
I live in Southeast Missouri and I've had almost all of these!!
Mark 20:40. Huh? "Take away"? It is only called that if you do that? It isn't called that when delivered, nor when you dine-in. 🙄
Bourbon in Pecan Pies?! 😱. I'm glad that, "Field's Pie Kitchen", in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma, doesn't do that! 👍 Whew!
It is bad enough that, "Graham Crackers", means that Honey is an ingredient.
That...
Worcestershire sauce is a fermented liquid condiment created in the city of Worcester in Worcestershire, England, during the first half of the 19th century. The creators were the pharmacists John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins, who went on to form the company, "Lea & Perrins".
That stuff is basically liquefied Anchovies with stuff added to disguise the odor and the look!
Marshmallows & Gelatin! The latter is an ingredient in the former. The latter is made from animal hooves! 🤢🤮😱👎
I have no idea what a gizzard is but as a southerner I love them!!
I grew up eating most of this stuff. I like all kinds of different cuisines, especially Italian, but Southern food will always be my comfort food. I'm in NC, boiled peanuts aren't a thing here but they are big in SC, not sure about the rest of the South. I didn't care for them all that much. I never touched chitlin's! My Dad loved them. HE thought I was crazy, but, nope! The rest of the stuff was spot on for me.
We do love our boiled peanuts.
@@Birick Hey, I hear ya, half my family lives in SC and they love them!
I grew up in Hawaii in the 60s and 70s and boiled peanuts was a MUST at baseball games. Bags of them were sold outside of the stadium and it seemed like just about everyone on the bleachers had a bag. I used to get so excited at 8 or 9 years old that my dad would buy me my own huge bag. Lol
I'm born and raised in Eastern North Carolina, and boiled peanuts is a thing here. Especially in the rural areas, they are sold at stands or homemade.
Jambalaya and Crawfish Etouffee are amazing, but do not eat it outside of Louisiana.
Chicken and waffles is like Moby Dick. Everyone should try a plate, the proper way, just once. Even if you don't finish it 😆
Born and raised southern boy here, old southern boy, lol. I love fried green tomatoes! I don't understand how they left off pinto beans fresh onion and real cornbread, not cakebread. Sorghum and butter on a hot biscuit, oh my my. Take some hot cornbread crumble it into a glass of fresh sweet milk, some prefer buttermilk, oh my my. One I eat occasionally is, a plate of scrambled eggs smothered with chili, oh my my.
Giblets are hearts, livers, and gizzards of poultry. Basically, all the edible organs. Gizzards are pre-stomach that help chickens digest food. It traps small rocks and bits and helps physically break down food before it reaches the stomach. I have never had any.
The gizzard is part of a chicken's digestive system it carries rocks that crush the seeds and corn
Just literally this past weekend I had to drive from Baltimore to Austin and stopped in Louisiana. I drove all the way to New Orleans and asked the first guy I saw where I could get the best Gumbeaux as they spell it some places. That sh*t was so good I basically bought the entire pot and 10 sides of white rice. Legit the best Gumbo I’ve ever tasted and Im pretty much a Gumbo junkie now. Not all Gumbo is created equal! This stuff is so good you can literally drink the roux. The guy running the place told me his father taught him how to make it 65 years ago and the recipe never changes. I cook myself and I can’t stress how good this stuff is… 💯
So you’re not gonna tell us the name of the place? Not cool bro
New Orleans gumbo doesn’t hold a candle to Cajun gumbo from Acadiana.
@@jeffreyglenellen1188 it was a roadside spot man, that’s usually where the best stuff comes from. Dude just said it’s was pop and son… that’s all he said.
Seems like cornbread is treated as an after thought but it’s very popular in the South.
Okra is native from Africa. The word gumbo is an African word for okra.
Brunswick stew is very good. It’s usually made with yesterdays BBQ pulled pork.
As basically a "Northerner" - New York state with a sojuourn in Colorado - only about half of those dishes really appealed to me. (Besides the dishes which aren't even exclusive - from macaroni and cheese, of course [my Mom left me a killer recipie, including 2/3 half & half and white cheddar - and Saltine crumb topping], to ambrosia - whip cream variety.) But what actually stood out to me the most was Youngest Bloke not really feeling pancakes with bacon and/or sausage?! - !! (And I even agree with chicken and waffles sounding weird - !) What on Earth would you eat them with, then?!
I highly recommend chicken pot pie and jambalaya.
I’ve never heard of boiled peanuts either, but I’m from the west coast in USA, not the south.
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve heard of chitlins my whole life, but never knew what they were!
All the good food is in the Southern states.
I’m from the south, boiled peanuts and coke in a bottle is a staple! You must try it, if you’re every in Northern Florida, Georgia or The Carolina’s it’s everywhere. Chittlens I’ll take a hard pass on. It’s slave food and slavery is over…sorry
@@aaronlewis2501 you had nothing better to offer the slaves other than some pig’s intestine…. That’s fucked up
You guys would go nuts over a good old Texan smoked brisket or some baby back ribs, potato salad and home made macaroni and cheese.
Though I'm from New York my family originates from South Carolina and my grandmother made alot of these foods. RiP Grandma
My grandma made enough chow chow to last through the winter…using all ingredients out of her garden. We don’t fry chitlins. Chicken and waffles was invented by a young black man from Harlem in the 1920’s-sorry I can’t remember his name.
Last summer, I went to Florida on vacation, returning to IL via Louisiana, where I tried beignets, and they're really good. My view on this unknown stuff is, "You can always spit it out, but you might find that it's far better than you imagined, rather than far worse. As you say over there, "Give it a go!"
Tree chickens--that's hilarious!
The gizzard is a muscle in a chicken's digestive system, and the dangly thing under its chin is its wattle.
I'm in northern IL, but I've run across ambrosia salad at potlucks--the pink version. Wooo, good stuff.
As much as I like to take the "try it" attitude, though it may turn out to be good, I don't see myself ever trying such a ridiculous combination as chicken and waffles. I mean, come on, would I ever pour syrup on my chicken? Not in 50 years!
The chef you saw was Guy Fieri. One of his famous shows is Diners Drive Ins and Dives
