Biscuits and gravy are a main dish meal eaten primarily for breakfast but Americans are big "breakfast for dinner" people so it could appear at your table at any time of day or evening.
Exactly. When I was in the Air Force, I was night shift, so my dinner was breakfast. I would get steak and eggs a lot.
But my favorite was the milk and chocolate milk. The milk was soooo cold and it was whole, not skimmed. It came out of a huge stainless steel dispenser that you lifted a heavy stainless steel nob. The milk would pour into your glass. It was so cold, so it it dense. It didn't splash while going into the glass. It is something that I remember with great fondness to this day 40 years later.
If you're nervous about recording, don't sweat it! Just remember two things: First, everyone will hear the accent, assume you're visiting, and go on about their day, or maybe want to say hello! Second, you get to go home afterwards! Even if they do think you're weird, who cares? You never have to see them again anyway, who cares what they think? :D
I also think about it this way: all they're doing is sitting and eating and then talking about the food, just like everyone else in the restaurant, the only difference is you also have a camera with you. As long as you're not being loud and are sort of out of the way then it's not a big deal. I don't think most people will notice. I think Jolly may get a bit more attention because they have Ducky and Luke with the camera gear so they take up a bit more space. But I don't think most people really notice them when they're filming. It seems that most of the time they get a table that's sort of out of the way so they don't bother people.
Jolly gets permission to set up and film and there seems to be a lot of scheduling things behind the scenes. The hospitality and willingness of Americans to share and explain our culture helps. Plus, Americans are usually louder at the table and so talking in a normal voice is less weird here than in England/Jersey.
The only annoying thing is that some stores don't like filming and you'll either just need to use a phone camera, which is decent enough now. Or, get permission to film beforehand. Usually if you explain what you are doing, it would be fine.
Millies face was just priceless when they brought out the cotton candy ---- I could tell it brought back some some childhood memories
also, when they were at brennans getting the bananas foster, it is cooked tableside for every guest. it's done that way because if you see someone order it and they get the tableside show, you're more likely to order one yourself.
Cafe du monde has never closed. They have opened every day for so long that it’s an absolute staple of the city of New Orleans. You also hear jazz music from there as street bands play in front of the restaurant. The only time they ever closed was when the entire French quarter was flooded by hurricane Katrina. The mayor actually wanted cafe du monde back open as soon as possible as it’s that important to the city. The cafe is so historic and important that people love the place beyond measure as the atmosphere is amazing with the jazz music and just the amount of people there is incredible.
These guys are hilarious. You can't help but smile throughout their videos. Look at yourselves smiling as well.
Biscuits are most common as a breakfast food but can be served with any meal as a bread alternative , and they’re not always served with gravy but are often served with butter and jam at breakfast.
But biscuits and GRAVY will never be a dessert. That's just never going to be. Now butter and jam? Heaven. Especially when the jam is homemade. Call it breakfast, lunch, dinner, or dessert, just don't miss it. Blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, peach, apricot jams, are all delicious on homemade biscuits. It's also lovely on pancakes, waffles, and French toast. When we were little, and Grama was making pies for Grampa, she would roll the extra pie crust out and bake it on a cookie sheet. When it was cool enough to handle, we'd put which ever homemade jam of grama's on our pieces of flaky pie crust, and wolf it down. Warm pie crust and homemade jam. BEST DESSERT EVER!
Biscuits and Gravy are a breakfast food. My whole family is English and we have relatives come to visit us in Texas often and they always feel welcome. I hope you have a really great trip to the U.S.
The “bits of biscuit” in the banana pudding are in the British sense of the word biscuit. It’s a type of cookie called vanilla wafers.
Also, pudding in the American sense. A creamy desert of sweetened and flavored dairy, set using starch as a thickener.
biscuits are a quick bread in terms of what they fall into in the baking world, they are primarily a breakfast item, but can be used interchangeably with dinner rolls as a side for other meals. not saying you should put sausage gravy over dinner rolls, completely different texture. but as a savory, flaky, buttery type of bread biscuits get used for more than just breakfast.
Biscuits and Gravy is generally reserved for breakfast but eat it whenever you like.
Biscuits and gravy is an ANYTIME food! 💜😉💜😉💜
My favorite dessert is actually Key Lime Pie whoch originates in Florida so not really "Southern" but you can get it many places in just about every state.
You should both 100% react to their video where they make the world's spiciest cotton candy. It might be the funniest video on youtube. I watch it all the time when I need a laugh.
Be careful referring to Texas as the south, Texas is its own thing, and is only loosely related to the south. p.s. Cafe Du Monde is always busy, and there is almost always a line extending down the sidewalk to get a table, as it is one of those places where it seems all tourist must take a photo and post it on social media. As to Mr H's video sitting outdoors at Coopers BBQ in Fort Worth, I think they filmed this video mid day on a weekday after the lunch rush.
I think they used the footage of the dessert portion of the other places and added that to the desserts video; so it is from the other places, but we had not seen it, yet.
We make banana pudding at home. We are in the Midwest. We usually make our own dessert.
it's pronounced "ben-YAY". When I was at Cafe du Monde (before Katrina), there were a lot of French tourists who were there to try the beignets, so ppl in New Orleans are well accustomed to foreigners and visitors from far away places. They won't stare at you. they keep saying "New Or-LEENS" , it's New OR-linz!
From Georgia, but I’ve been making bananas foster like this for 20 years. The only difference is that I serve it over banana nut bread as well as the Ice cream.
Do realize Jolly has a camera and sound crew with them so they are very noticeable. They aren't just taking videos of themselves using their phones.
Bananas Foster is soooooo much better than you can imagine, I promise, guy's.
Ben-yays is how you say that, and topping ithem with honey is good as well. You can get fancy with the type of honey too! Orange blossom, Clover, Wildflower.....
Biscuits and gravy is whatever you want it to be in Texas, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Im from georgia i agree I've had it for breakfast lunch dinner snack whenever
@@sleepyagent1795 exactly, there's never "A" time for it........I want biscuits and gravy....now, please. Period. It's time when it's time.

Hey James and Millie, I think that the reason why you haven't seen Josh and Ollie trying the bread pudding or banana pudding is probably because those scenes were cut out from the original videos to allow for the length
Or for the sake of making this dessert themed video.
@@JustMe-dc6ks that's a possibility too
Biscuits and gravy are considered breakfast . . . but heck you can enjoy them anytime!!! LOL
Millie is right, biscuits and gravy is typically for breakfast but sometimes people eat them for dinner as well
Pecans have a flavor and texture similar to walnuts. They make for a great topping for pies and cakes. Pecan pie and sweet potato pie are southern. The way sweet potato pie filling is made in a way that it could be served without a crust as a pudding.
We do breakfast for dinner too but biscuits and gravy for sure are a main but I always have an egg or two as aell
America = Flavor because America = All cultures are Welcome
Biscuits and gravy is a hearty breakfast meal, often served with a fried egg on top. Peace!
Biscuits and gravy are for breakfast it’s sausage gravy you don’t have our biscuits so it’s hard to tell you, but it’s nothing remotely like your biscuit. Also, it’s good for after a night of drinking.
Biscuits and gravy is breakfast here in Texas.
Hi guys! I'm from Louisiana and this got me hungry! It's no wonder that the people in New Orleans have a weight problem. The beignettes at Cafe Du Monde go great with a cup of their café au lait. Beignettes are simply fried bread dough sprinkled with powdered sugar, but they are really great when made fresh.
Bananas Foster are a real treat too. They don't really lend themselves to making at home, so it's best to get them in a restaurant.
I'm glad they included bread pudding. It's simple to make at home, and is a good way to use stale bread up. It's just bread, eggs, butter, milk, and raisins with a little cinnamon. For variety you can use chopped peaches or apples or even cranberries instead of raisins.
You can find the recipe for banana pudding on the box of vanilla wafers. It's bananas, vanilla custard and vanilla wafers topped with merengue or whipped cream.
Had Banana Foster's pancakes in the north and I fell in love.
Here in the south we mostly have biscuits and gravy for breakfast or brunch.
Just so you know, it's pronounced "bin YAYS". Beignets. The server is hard to hear in this video. It's bin YAYS. :)
Biscuits and gravy is a lifestyle
Yes with biscuits and gravy usually a breakfast item but I love breakfast for dinner also you can do either a side ( one biscuit and some gravy) or two biscuits and gravy as the meal,
We have restaurants up here in N.J. that cook all your food right at your table. It’s called The Hibachi Grill.
Yes i been waiting for y'all to fo this one
Bread pudding is soaked in custard overnight then baked
Bananas Foster might be my favorite dessert-I made if from a Commander’s Palace cookbook years ago.
My favorite southern dessert are pralines and I make them.
These Southern Buttermilk Pecan Pralines are rich, creamy and melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The addition of pecans is the perfect complement to these sweet blissful bites!
INGREDIENTS
237 ml buttermilk, not low fat
400 grams sugar (canister sugar)
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 tablespoon real butter
218 grams pecan halves
INSTRUCTIONS
Line two cookie sheets with wax paper and set aside.
Combine the buttermilk, sugar, salt and baking soda in a large heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Clip a candy thermometer on the side of the pan and continue cooking over medium low heat (#4 on an electric stove), stirring constantly, until candy reaches 236F/114C degrees on the candy thermometer.
Remove pan from heat and add the butter and vanilla. Do not stir. Place pan in a sink of cold water and allow to cool to lukewarm, about 5 minutes. Test by placing your finger in the candy. When it’s just warm, remove the pan from the water.
Beat candy by hand until it becomes slightly thick and creamy, about five minutes. Beat it for a minute, then stop and let it rest for a few seconds, then beat it again. It will start to slightly lose its shiny, glossy appearance. It should become the consistency of peanut .
Do not wait until the candy has lost all of its glossy appearance or it will set up too quickly before you can drop it onto wax paper. The candy will finish turning once it’s dropped onto the wax paper.
If you do over beat the candy and it begins to set up in pan, add a few drop of hot water and beat it with a wooden spoon until it’s smooth again.
Add the pecans and mix to combine. Immediately drop onto wax paper, using a tablespoon.
Allow candy to set for at least two hours. You will notice the candy losing its remaining glossy look and turning to a satiny sheen while it sets.
Store candy in an airtight container.
NOTES
Yield is about 1 1/2 pounds. Serving pieces depends on size of dropped candy. I used a slightly heaped tablespoon to drop them.
Total time does not include cooling and beating.
It’s important to cook this candy to 236 degrees. I see many pictures of this candy posted, where it has been under cooked. When it’s undercooked the result will be a sugary brown candy. The candy should be a lighter golden color and have a very creamy texture.
If the bottom of candy is slightly sticky after two hours, flip pieces over and allow to set a few minutes until bottoms are dry.
If the candy doesn't set quick enough just scrape it off the wax paper and recook it.
On and y'all will love the Englishman Pimm's cups at the Napoleon House.
As a kid, bananas foster was my favorite dessert. Yes the taste and texture and the warm sauce and banana with cold ice cream are all great. But what 8 year old boy doesn’t love a huge fireballl next to the table as it’s almost always flambéed table side.
It’s a breakfast food. But breakfast has become like a fancy dinner. So most people eat it at dinner unless you’re going out and buying it at a restaurant. Have your bed sourced and ready before you start. Straight to bed after breakfast. It hits like anesthesia
Yall need to react to their cotton candy video. It's hands down my favorite video that they've ever done. Absolutely hilarious.
The bread pudding restaurant is called Dooky Chase. I recognize the portrait of Leah Chase on the wall.
I wanted to go there, never got the chance. 🥲
British tourists who vlog their trips to Florida say they have no problems vlogging in the US. They say the British public isn’t as fully accepting as here in the US, so get stared at. Beignets are a popular dessert at one of the Disney resorts in Orlando, as the grounds are loosely based on the architecture of New Orleans. It’s not so much the beignets go cold, but they get hard when they are cold. You have to eat them when they are warm. There’s also a chain of restaurants in New Orleans called Cafe Beignet. You can get beignets there as well. I wouldn’t waste my time at the main location, as the help there is not helpful.
Disney was actually going to use a street adjacent to the French Market because he said it looked magical. Don't know what happened but plan fell through.
Biscuits and gravy Great anytime
Biscuits and sausage gravy are good any time of the day.
Yes, biscuits are a breakfast staple.
What the Americans are looking at, is the camera crew, not the fact that they're English or Foreigner
A properly made Bread or Banana pudding is worth the wait. That said, both dishes are familiar in the southern US. New Orleans is an interesting place to visit providing you stay in the tourist areas and don't travel alone.
Being a Louisiana native, I can definitely confirm they do cook the Banana's Foster in front of your table.

New Orleans is about a 6-hour drive from Houston
Hi, James and Millie! When I was a child, living in my Houston hometown of Texas, my parents took my brother and me to New Orleans which is only 6 hour drive from Houston. Yes, do GO to the French Quarters to experience the famous French Coffee and Beignets. We dipped the fresh hot Beignets into the coffee. Sweet melting mixture of Beignets and coffee to die for (American expression of heavenly bliss!)! The flavors of the flaming Rum flavored based brown sugar, bananas, and vanilla ice cream is so sweet in that you can actually taste the Rum liquor in the liquid. You will love it. Take a tour on the horse drawn carriage through the French Quarters district, be a passenger on the Showboat down the river, see the horses on the racetrack, and visit the old historical Southern plantation just outside of New Orleans. I have been back to New Orleans several time since my childhood. Have fun planning your American trips! ❤🙋♀️
This was excellent...good job Beesleys...i loved this one
I havent been to Cafe du monde in a while, think im going to take a drive over there tomorrow ir the day after. Love their beingnets & coffee
I’ll eat biscuits and gravy despite the time of day. It’s savory, and amazing!
Yes, biscuits and gravy can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch or dinner or a snack, whenever you desire it, they do appear on some breakfast menus if they have it, then there are those who can serve it all day, there is no rule on when to enjoy biscuits and gravy! I know, I have had them for any time of day! Those Beignets are delicious if you ever have the opportunity to try some then do it! Just be careful with the powdered sugar, one wrong move and you''ll have that stuff all over your clothes. Bananas Foster is a must to try, so delicious really, you won't be disappointed, especially if you go to Brennan's make reservations before going, that too is a must. Try everything and enjoy the local culture experience. ☮ and 💕
Biscuits and Gravy: Yes.
Try banana fosters on french toast or waffles without the ice cream.
bin-yeh and that Cafe Dumonde in the square has too long of a line, try the one in the wharf mall or in the other location in city park.
They should have tried the frozen coffee. They also have it at Cafe Beignet. They should have tried King Cake but I know they only do that around Mardi Gras, they will have it at the Louis Armstrong Airport though in the gift shops.
We went to NO many years ago.. So I don't know what is avail now, But we did a food tour and we got to make our own bananas foster.. flambay and all. We walked from restaurant to restaurant and had a lot of fun. Starter.. a small entre.. and ended with the foster.
Keep in mind much of north America was under French rule before the US and Canada were formed. Many traditions and cuisines specifically in the American south, but from all over that get attributed as American are actually French in origin, or of a kind of French that had heavy native influence in present day Canada, and who would come to be known as Cajun in the US.
Bananas foster can easily be made at home which I do.
I suspect that a lot of times people try to plan ahead with location management if they can.
Biscuits and Gravy is generally breakfast but is good 24/7. You just change the sides if you want.
I have been to the first 2 restaurants, Cafe Du Monde and Brennan’s.
Biscuits and gravy is a breakfast food. Breakfast, however, is the best meal to have for dinner.
So I guess yeah, biscuits and gravy is a dinner food. Or breakfast. Or lunch.
And Europeans say all we eat is hamburgers and pizza.
Millie is right again Great video as always You guys have a blessed day
I would be interested in your reaction to the Blue Owl restaurants Mile High Leeve Apple pie. it has 18 apples in this pie.
we used to have biscuits with tomato gravy but now we can afford to make sausage gravy my dad made for us every weekend
I was born and raised just across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans. Having beignets at Cafe du Monde is something I HAVE to do every time I’m in New Orleans. But I think of them as breakfast or a snack more than dessert. My top desserts are: Bananas Foster, Pecan Pie, Key Lime Pie, Banana Pudding, and Doberge Cake (something else New Orleans is famous for).
King Cake (Madi gras)
You guys talk over the part where they explain how to say the name of the dessert. Biscuits and gravy is Breakfast and great with eggs
Hello from Tulsa 😊 hello James and Millie. Let's eat some dessert, yummm
You call it Candy Floss. We in the U.S. call it Cotton Candy.
Love a daily double👏
Depends on the type of gravy. Most of the time, when we say biscuits and gravy, we mean sausage gravy which is savory and is either a side or main part of breakfast. However, there is chocolate gravy that’s put on biscuits and that’s sweet and eaten as dessert.
I wasn’t impressed with cafe du monde, but I love banana fosters - definitely worth a try. My wife loves bread pudding and I make it frequently for her -especially if I have old homemade bread. That banana pudding didn’t look very tasty. The pudding we eat in both Georgia and Alabama is vanilla custard with sliced bananas and vanilla wafers layered like a trifle and topped with meringue. That’s the stuff (especially when still warm) that will make your day.
The problem with baking anything “southern” is that there’s so much variation in this region. Texas is its own breed, as are the Cajuns in New Orleans (which are different from the Creoles). I was born in Alabama and my wife is from rural Georgia and there are pretty big differences between us culturally. Language (I use more brand names as generics (ie MixMaster for mixer, Skil saw for circular saw, etc) food (my dressing has more sage and is pretty moist, hers is very oniony and dry) not to mention football (I’m heavily invested in the iron bowl even though I’m a Georgia Tech grad and she’s more invested in what’s happening in the SEC East even as a Tech grad) show how differently we were raised within
You need to try bread pudding & it is very simple to make.
Bananas foster is my favorite
Biscuits and gravy are technically a breakfast, but breakfast food doesn't mean much here in America, as we'll eat breakfast food anytime...
I’m not 100% certain why the UK has bananas if they don’t make banana pudding.
The biscuits in it are called vanilla wafers. You typically mix them into the pudding along with whipped cream.
Biscuits and gravy are a southern breakfast food.
If you come to Houston then you can got to New Orleans for a weekend
It is only a 4 hour drive. As a houstonian we drive to New Orleans all the time
Visiting the states, food can be regional. Picking a region can be tricky, the south has great food but the west has the best scenery.
Breakfast served w eggs and bacon . But great anytime
Depends. Plenty of "greasy spoons" in a giant country.
Wow that banana thing looks pretty good
The big pile of pink stuff is called cotton candy, what I mean to say is over here we call it cotton candy
I love making bananas foster over french toast
Bananas Foster is great.
I learned just barely you can buy beignet batter from online. I honestly need to remember to buy it. Also Banana Foster isn't something you can do at home on your own easy. If you have ever watched the Disney film Princess and the Frog, beignets are in there. Looks to be best piping hot.
I laugh at the comment that "Americans thought to add spice'. The reality is that 'Americans' appreciated and incorporated the immigrated cuisine. Many of the flavors are thanks to a another nations' culture.
There's likely more sugar cane growing near New Orleans...so why not douse everything in sugar? It just makes sense!
Lol yall talked through the whole part telling Jolly how to pronounce Beignets its pronounced Ben yays!! Biscuits while can be eaten whenever is a Breakfast food. We eat them with gravy, sausage gravy for a savory taste we also can add meat my fave is a toss up between sausage egg, cheese & grape jelly and fried chicken biscuits with mustard. They are also eaten sweet with any flavor jelly or jam and my favorite syrup (Alaga is the best brand) Bread pudding made out of Krispy Kreme donuts is a life changer!! Yall Texas is not the go to for Southern food.. Brisket & beef BBQ yes but Southern and Soul food you need the Southern states Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and the Carolina states!
100% southern breakfast. It's a side item. It would be like biscuit and gravy, grits and country ham. A good breakfast in the south. I live in east Tennessee so I guess I qualify as a southerner.
And I’m from middle Tennessee. We definitely qualify as Southerners!! 💁🏻♀️
I went to cafe de monde they are delicious!
