Yer dang skippy! My favorite: Blackberry cobbler. Made by Grandma in the evening after a day of picking blackberries. Mmmm-MM! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
From South Carolina here - while peach cobbler is very, very common I've never heard of people putting pecans in it. I'd say that our main dessert staples would be peach cobbler, blackberry cobbler, banana pudding, sweet potato pie, and pineapple upside-down cake.
I've lived in NC for well beyond half my life and I'd agree with ya... not to mention that I've Never seen strawberry shortcake served with a biscuit... WTF Facts?!?
Southern for my entire 33 years of life..NEVER had peach cobbler with pecans! Where are they getting these recipes? I think it's people from up North creating what they THINK southern food is, while never have actually eaten any of it.
Patrick Hogue Yes peach cobbler is like looking at that sexy hot Victoria's secret angels model still asleep in your bed, drooling on the pillow early in the morning wearing nothing but one of you hole tattered gym shirts and panties.
"Ireland is basically the result of drinking while pregnant, but it's the whole country." Love this. You should go into the first pub in Ireland and tell them their heritage story. And yeah, she's trying to be funny, mildly succeeding. Nobody is that stupid, c'mon. Cake is cake and bird is bird. Even crazy irishwomen can tell the difference. They can probably expressive dance it, too.
Southern desserts? You guys left out the Banana pudding, Sweet potato pie, Bread pudding and the south's infamous Red Velvet cake. Hummingbird cake....who eats that?
Tiffani Clayburn I'm from Louisiana and I've never seen it. I didn't want to say no southerners put them in with cause i knew there had to be some that did. Like you said everyone has their preference.
Just like everyone arguing about the damn biscuit in the strawberry shortcake 😂😂😂 I've had it both ways from my Texan line and my Tennessee line. Personally I prefer the drop biscuit as opposed to the angel food or sponge cake. It doesn't get as soggy.
So right! I'm from the north and I can make a better pecan pie. That crust was at least 1/4 inch thick and hard as a rock. And how can you screw up strawberry shortcake? Not enough strawberries for one thing.
@@dan-ol9fe I've had cakes like that and it's something I like, but I would hardly call it traditional to the South. Seems like they were reaching to find something different to serve. Should have done chocolate icebox pie or something.
@@SeanHenderson I was raised in the South. I was probably 19 or 20 before tasting Key Lime Pie. Maybe we were just poor. I knew about the rest in the video.
I am a born and raised southern girl and that did not look like a peach cobbler at all......whoever made that I only have two thing's to say...BLESS IT!!!!
ok, the strawberry shortcake they served was NOT southern style. served on a biscuit is a northern thing. Here in the south we make it with Angel food cake cups.
It took me a minute to figure out that it was a biscuit. I will take my angel food with my short cake over that biscuit any day. Definitely not a southern thing.
There is only one of the "presenters" that I have heard, who has come close to having a good Newawlins southern accent...good enough to play Blanche DuBois, if they ever did a presentation of a "Streetcar Named Desire" in Dublin. But, I had to straighten her out that it is not PEE-can pie, but PICK-ahn pie. Never heard a word back.
stormcrow we have a saying here in bama,..When the English came to America they built a church. When the Germans came to America they built a barn. When the Irish came to America they built a still . May God bless the Irish !
There are no pecans that I know of in Chess Pie, at least all the ones I have had. You sure you're not talking about Pecan Pie. There made a little different, but still a good southern desert.@@davidlipman8093
From what I understand, the genuine original strawberry shortcake was made with a biscuit like thing, but a bit sweeter than a regular buttermilk/baking powder biscuit. Now most people use angel food cake or sponge cake instead.
That certainly explains why my late grandmother who was good at cooking and baking made strawberry shortcake that way herself. She would get these biscuits and have us simply add strawberries and whipped cream on top. Now, you see Strawberry Shortcake made as a regular cake 🍰. You would now see a delicious bakery version of the dessert. By the way, I am from the North East and the furthest South in the states that I ever visited was Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Yall! Hummingbird cake is Southern! More low country like Paula Dean! IT'S a spice cake with bananas, pineapple and pecans. Cream cheese frosting! So moist, so good!
Actually, I've never heard it called 'hummingbird cake' before this episode, but after looking at the ingredients it is what my relatives called just plain 'spice cake.' ... so maybe that's where the confusion in the comments is?
This was fun! I knew people would have a hissy-fit about 2 things: 1) What is Hummingbird Cake?! (I have had it in the south, but it's pretty rare--Coconut or Red Velvet are much more common cakes). 2) You made strawberry shortcake with a biscuit! (It's not a biscuit--it's 'shortcake' literally - a sweetened biscuit type dough). I grew up with the little plastic-wrapped sponge cake pre-made version, with frozen canned strawberries & Cool Whip. I thought it was amazing! Much later I had the actual traditional shortbread type with fresh macerated strawberries and fresh whipped cream. I thought it was even better! At this point, I think they are both valid, and the sponge cake version is probably more popular now because it's easier and has been around since at least 1970. Now let's show some southerners eating some Irish Fruit Cake (and dying of sadness, lol).
1. Peach cobbler NEVER has pecans 2. What is a hummingbird cake?? 3. BISCUITS !?? we don’t make strawberry shortcake with biscuits Just throw the whole episode away and fire the cook!!
@@tracydillingham2922 Biscuits are British word for cookies. In the USA, biscuits are savory, usually made with buttermilk, flour and other non sweet ingredients. Probably as many different recipes as there are people who make them..
Well, pecan pie is a holiday staple at our house. My sister-in-law makes a killer peach cobbler, but she'd never put pecans in it, and the crust isn't some store-bought cr*p.
Late comment, but they're Irish. Ya can't throw them into the deep end of fine Southern food all at once. It may kill them. But I found that lack of Banana pudding disturbing.
All the desserts looks like they were made by someone who's never been in the South before. Every self respecting Southerner knows you don't put pecans in peach cobbler! And what was that monstrosity they billed as strawberry shortcake? An insult to the entire South!
Yup eaten tons of cobbler! So awesome! Some shit! You place that abomination in front of some people. You'd get a cap in your ass. Instead of a thank you.
“And your obsession of peanut butter. It doesn’t have to be in everything.” Um... I thought about going downstairs to get a jar of peanut butter and a spoon. It’s almost 2am 😂
I grew up in Georgia and had hummingbird cake, but it was a little old-fashioned. It's not nearly as popular as say, carrot cake or red velvet cake (other cream-cheese icing cakes). We only had ice-cream on cobblers sometimes. In a restaurant, yes, but at home, not usually.
Yea, if you have never had Hummingbird Cake, you are missing out. But I understand why. It has a very long list of ingredients, and has just fallen out of fashion.
I must admit, their Southern accents were better than literally everyone in Hollywood that attempts my accent. But the Southern accent was derived, in part, from the Irish accent, so there's that.
Hey, Facts!!! Who the hell is cooking for this "Irish People Eat Southern" bit? I think you might need to reconsider your research and development team. Every single video has been a misrepresentation of Southern food. Just read the dang comments. Sweet Potato Pie? Banana Pudding? Ambrosia? Mississippi Mud Pie? Apple Fritters? Bless your hearts.
I'm from the south (bama), and all these are southern desserts. I'm trying to figure out what the Irish eat. They dont seem to like anything put in front of them.
That is the authentic, original strawberry shortcake. It's made with something that looks like a biscuit, but is a bit sweeter. Americans have just gotten lazier through the years and now just use a sponge cake or angel food cake from the store, and that's what we remember as strawberry shortcake. But it's not.
While watching this my 10 year old daughter runs in and screams "PEECANS IS WHAT A TRUCK DRIVER HAS, PECANS ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!" and then ran back to the other room to play roblox.....i am laughing to hard to finish the video i think!
Born in Gadsden lived in Arab, Gadsden, Anniston, Birmingham, Southside, Glencoe, Centre, and guntersville and I’ve never heard of ice cream with cobbler
This is what happens when you use Google to learn about other cultures. Other than pecan pie, most were way off. Actual southern desserts are: Homemade banana pudding Peach cobbler (sans nuts) with ice cream Sweet potato pie Bread pudding Lemon icebox pie Key lime Pie Pralines BTW "Hummingbird Cake" is NOT a common dessert in the South.
That's how us original Southerners I've always eaten Strawberry Shortcake. But for those of you under 50 you may only be used to the store-bought angel food cake or pound cake versions
Literally lived in South in country 22 miles from any decent size town. On a farm on top of that. Only had 2 of these deserts in my life. Don't know who told you these are southern deserts are crazy. Banana pudding would have been number one, plain chocolate pie 2, apple pie or plain peach cobbler 3 or pecan pie 3, hand made churned ice cream also. Blue berry pie, many more
1. Who puts nuts in cobbler? 2. that is not how strawberry shortcake is done in the south. Angel food cake y'all! 3. How do they not like peanut butter?
They don't really like peanut butter because it isn't indigenous to Ireland or any other European country for that matter, since peanuts don't grow there. And it's real popular in America since George Washington Carver essentially popularized it
Those pie crusts are a disgrace to the word pie! Someone needs to learn how to use a pastry tool or even two case knives to cut in the shortening *and* how to use less water, use everything cold, and use ice water! Whoever made that pie crust made every mistake you can make when doing a pie crust.
@@caucasoidus_anglicus - i spent last summer trying to make the perfect british strawberry scone. finally did it, and all i can say is, "man, the brits can keep them!" lol
Real strawberry shortcake is NOT made with pound cake. What they served is exactly right. It’s like a crumbly biscuit and that one looked great. It’s the Southerners (of which there are millions and I can say that since my entire family is from Alabama and I live in Texas) who have turned “Strawberry shortcake” into the one with pound cake. However that is a misnomer. Pound cake is not shortcake.
I've never heard of pecans in peach cobbler. I've never heard of hummingbird cake. And I don't know how they could leave out chess pie, the most southern of southerny desserts.
When I was in college there was a German student (this was in Pennsylvania). she got introduced to peanut butter and took home about ten jars and gained about 30 pounds that year. She was obsessed with it.
you have to slather sugared strawberries all over the shortcake. it should be SWIMMING. and then spray like 6 feet of whipped cream on top even though your grandma tells you you're not allowed to
Hummingbird cake must be very local because I've been to every southern state and never heard of it. Preach cobbler also is never usually served with pecans. It's usually served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It's like if I went to a Irish restaurant in Atlanta and think I had the real thing. The strawberry shortcake looked sad.
I grew up in Oklahoma and now have lived in the deeper south for most of my life I've only ever heard of Hummingbird cake never seen it. Lol it was almost like a myth to me. I've never even seen strawberry shortcake on biscuits or heard of it either and don't think I want to try it. Also never seen pecan's in peach or any cobbler. Also looking at how hard the pecan pie crust was I'd say it was off as well. If they like the gooey part of the pecan pie they should try chess pie it always reminded me of pecan just without the pecans.
I often associate banana pudding with places that serve BBQ (with mustard-base sauce, not the blasphemous alternatives...), although that may be one particular establishment I'm thinking of.
No. The south loves banana pudding. Every cook out. Every extended family meal and get together. Easter whatever. Its a thing, a delicious thing. Its at cheap buffets and country clubs.
They really need to rename these too ”A California interpretation to ..." Honestly I'm surprised of the amount of self control it took them to not put avocado on everything.
Funny, because so many comments on this: biscuits, No angel food, no pound cake! You're all correct. If you've got a pound cake in the freezer, or if you see an angel food cake in the bakery or if you're home and have none of the above, you make biscuits...it's ALL good people. Just use fresh berries, whip up some fresh cream, and all good!
I think that they should have used a bit more of these mashed strawberries in their natural juices they just slicing strawberries and putting them in there. However for the true Southern experience you have to use biscuits! This newfangled use pound cake using angel food cake thing started happening in the late 70s and I think this younger generation just took it on because it tasted sweeter. The sweetness comes from the mashed berries and Cool Whip
I’ve lived in Alabama and Georgia all my life and been in Tennessee Florida and South Carolina tons to visit family and I’ve never heard of having ice cream with it
Been living in the South for years now and just discovered Hummingbird cake on this video. I looked it up and Southern Living said it was the most requested recipe in their history.
Authentic sounding southern accent at the end. 👍🏼 I've never in my life heard of a peach pecan pie and I've lived in almost every region of the US but mainly in the south. I think fruit may grow more plentifully here than in Europe.
Actually, in the South that's how it was traditionally made - with broken pie crust or thick, hearty biscuits... ...made with pound or shortcake is a fairly modern contrivance. Pound cake itself made it's way to the South from the North. The strawberry shortcake we popularly eat today, has a very French influence...like many of our modern pastries and desserts --- the French do pastry like no other.... ...thanks to their overblown monarchies and the French Revolution... Just fyi...because food history is good history.
Seems to me that y'all need to account for who's actually making these desserts: Were they all made by Mamaw and eaten within hours of her baking them? Watching folks cutting through some of those pie crusts with their forks, I cannot believe any southern Mamaw was involved. :)
Agreed, but peach is the most common so it's a fair representation. Plus at least two states in the south are known for their peaches. Blackberries are more resilient.
Cobbler of any kind must be served hot ( cooked to where the sugars are browned and candied around the edges ) with vanilla ice cream.
cobbler w/o ice cream is a cardinal sin
And hold the pecans
And no pecans!! Who would do that?
you forgot that it **MUST** be served with either PEACH or VANILLA ICE CREAM.
Yer dang skippy! My favorite: Blackberry cobbler. Made by Grandma in the evening after a day of picking blackberries. Mmmm-MM! Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.

Hummingbirds.

Honestly half these were sort of half-assed as well poor Irish their food must be terrible

We don’t put pecans in our peach cobbler.
Ally Michael yeah, that threw me, and I'm not from the south.

You should try it, it's good... ...gives more texture and adds a little savory.

There is no cobbler.
All TRUE southeners are watching this thinking... WTF did I just watch!
Kāra Brannon absolutely I am! Bless their little hearts!
True Southerners. Lame
My time in S. Carolina and Alabama has taught me that nobody does dessert like a Southerner, and only very bad people don't like strawberry shortcake.
That's right..
I thought it was just me!
Where's the sweet potato pie? Where's the pound cake?
Where is the banana pudding?
GURL THATS WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY BLK PPL SOUTHERN Desserts are different !
Wondering where the chess pie is at. 💙
The first thing I said after watching this was, no banana pudding? You can get peanut butter and chocolate anywhere, it's not a southern thing!
I just made banana pudding the other day. So good. People underestimate it.
For real.
Most Southerners don't use pecans in peach cobbler.
Josh Adams I'm from Texas and my family usually adds pecans to our peach cobbler, every family has different preferences I guess
Tiffani Clayburn I'm from Louisiana and I've never seen it. I didn't want to say no southerners put them in with cause i knew there had to be some that did. Like you said everyone has their preference.

i make a modified shortbread, so you get some soggy, and get some flakey. plus shortbread left over for breakfast is always good.
NO. Cobbler means fruit + pastry. If you add anything else, like pecans, walnuts, sprinkles, chips, etc, you are desecrating the cobbler.
Facts, please do this video again, but this time HIRE ACTUAL SOUTHERNERS TO DO THE COOKING/BAKING!!!
The cook is from the South. Unfortunately it's the South of Ireland.
So right! I'm from the north and I can make a better pecan pie. That crust was at least 1/4 inch thick and hard as a rock. And how can you screw up strawberry shortcake? Not enough strawberries for one thing.

Sometimes it means you're a moron.
I'm from the South. Where was the Mississippi Mud and "nanner pudding"?
No chess pie, either. This was a fail video.
They'd have to do an entirely separate episode for Mississippi
bambamwigolo ok right I made dat not to long ago
they did missippi mud pie in another video.. i don't recall seeing nanner puddin, but there is a lot of videos, could be there somewhere.
The fact that banana pudding wasn't on this means you know nothing of the South.
Amen to that!
Right, that is a staple at any southern function.
I clicked on it and said this better have banana pudding
MY CULTURE-
Yep!
Banana pudding would have been a welcomed lite dessert.
You eat cobbler with a spoon. You also need the vanilla ice cream melting on top.
Thats what i'm screaming!!!
Yeah! Home made vanilla or blue bell.
Where is the Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla!!!!
The cobbler was missing a scoop of vanilla icecream
What! No red velvet cake? No banana pudding? What kind of twilight zone south did you get your dessert ideas from???
And I am married to a Southerner and the only time he takes peanut butter is on his banana sandwiches...
No key lime pie? I call Irish bullshit.

An old Southern cooking tip: the worse it looks, the better it tastes.
Southern desserts have way too much sugar I have made pecan pie with half the sugar & corn syrup, and it was perfect
Like apple kuchen?

Yea! I was wondering what that was about???
You forgot banana pudding!
A Rayne I was soooo about to say that. How can you not include Banana pudding in a southern desert taste test?!!! That’s like a southern tradition!!
Just said that
A Rayne: ifkr!
Banana Pudding, Apple Stack Cake, pineapple upside down cake, and peach cobbler without pecans!
Exactly! And 7-Up/Sock-it-to-me cake.
“And your obsession of peanut butter. It doesn’t have to be in everything.” Um... I thought about going downstairs to get a jar of peanut butter and a spoon. It’s almost 2am 😂
Jar of peanut butter, spoon, and a bowl of sugar.
Your welcome...
I've lived in Georgia my whole life and wtf is hummingbird cake?? And y'all forgot the icecream on top of that cobbler.
I grew up in Georgia and had hummingbird cake, but it was a little old-fashioned. It's not nearly as popular as say, carrot cake or red velvet cake (other cream-cheese icing cakes). We only had ice-cream on cobblers sometimes. In a restaurant, yes, but at home, not usually.
Music Of The Night I know lol
Hummingbird cake is hella traditional southern dish. It’s just not served much anymore. But! Publix has it.
Yea, if you have never had Hummingbird Cake, you are missing out. But I understand why. It has a very long list of ingredients, and has just fallen out of fashion.
I must admit, their Southern accents were better than literally everyone in Hollywood that attempts my accent. But the Southern accent was derived, in part, from the Irish accent, so there's that.
The dude with the glasses sounded perfect depending on which state he was going for.
@Lynn Lamont throw in some French and you got it.
We and them are cousins
Hey, Facts!!! Who the hell is cooking for this "Irish People Eat Southern" bit? I think you might need to reconsider your research and development team. Every single video has been a misrepresentation of Southern food. Just read the dang comments.
Sweet Potato Pie?
Banana Pudding?
Ambrosia?
Mississippi Mud Pie?
Apple Fritters?
Bless your hearts.
Oh no... "Bless your hearts"? Why you gotta go there? ;)
I'm from the south (bama), and all these are southern desserts. I'm trying to figure out what the Irish eat. They dont seem to like anything put in front of them.
add Fried Apple pie with vanilla ice cream on top
Mud pies are definitely southern af. But do Americans really have an obsession with peanut butter? 😂
@Carol ann I'm from Alabama also what is "younger" im 29 and i make homemade from scratch all depends on who you were raised by honestly.
Every time I watch them eat something from the South, I just think, "Please come here. I will cook for you!"
The strawberry "shortcake" used biscuits rather than the traditional pound cake base...
Pound cake isn’t actually traditional. Shortcake is the traditional base. They look like biscuits but are a bit different.
Excuse you, shortcake IS the traditional base and pound cake is the commercial version.
I mean, its called "strawberry SHORTCAKE" there should be no way in hell that somebody can't infer what it should be sitting on...
I'm assuming you aren't aware of what shortcake actually is. It's called strawberry shortcake, but strawberry pound cake.
That is the authentic, original strawberry shortcake. It's made with something that looks like a biscuit, but is a bit sweeter. Americans have just gotten lazier through the years and now just use a sponge cake or angel food cake from the store, and that's what we remember as strawberry shortcake. But it's not.
While watching this my 10 year old daughter runs in and screams "PEECANS IS WHAT A TRUCK DRIVER HAS, PECANS ARE WHAT YOU EAT!!" and then ran back to the other room to play roblox.....i am laughing to hard to finish the video i think!
This Alabama girl is missing a thirteen layer cake, red velvet cake, and ice cream on that peach cobbler
Roll Tide.
red velvet!!
bamajohn251 it’s never too late for Red velvet cake
Born in Gadsden lived in Arab, Gadsden, Anniston, Birmingham, Southside, Glencoe, Centre, and guntersville and I’ve never heard of ice cream with cobbler
Don't forget the mississippi mud pie
Hot peach cobbler with ice cream melting on it is my favorite.
I just had lunch and your comment still MADE ME DROOL ANYWAYS!
Yeah they forgot to put the ice cream on the peach cobbler.
peach cobbler with cream changed my life
My aunt made the *best* peach cobbler!! And the only thing better than fresh home made whipped cream, is ice cream!
Love cobbler but I don't put pecans in it.
Pound cake, lemon bars, banana pudding those are southern
This is what happens when you use Google to learn about other cultures. Other than pecan pie, most were way off.
Actual southern desserts are:
Homemade banana pudding
Peach cobbler (sans nuts) with ice cream
Sweet potato pie
Bread pudding
Lemon icebox pie
Key lime Pie
Pralines
BTW "Hummingbird Cake" is NOT a common dessert in the South.
Omg brightstar's icebox pie, prepare to just give up on everything else.
You forgot just straight up Bluebell
Shonuff!
I’m from Georgia and hummingbird cake is on the menu at a few min and pop shops down here
Bread pudding is actually from England which is probably why it wasn't included.
wth!!!???!!! No banana pudding??? I thought this was southern desserts. The south is known for sweet tea AND banana pudding. Get it together, people!
very true. banana pudding definitely should have made the cut.
You're right !
North Carolina by way of Florida. Nothing more southern than naner puddin'
Meron M. I'm from Louisiana, and my family is about as Southern as it gets. And damn banana pudding is hella good
Or bread pudding
How do you not have Banana Pudding?
Daniel Sharps yesssss. Made with nilla wafers the right way.
Fucking right?
Daniel Sharps that's what I'm saying! my favorite one
Daniel Sharps I know right! Like actual banana pudding. With home made pudding!😍
appropinpinquo Is that why it's called southern style banana pudding?
"Southern Desserts" doesn't mean just grab a few things from the bakery section at Publix.
Where was the Bananna pudding???? Can't get more southern than that! Do I have to come over to Ireland and make it for you?
Nanner pudin !
With vanilla wafers!
oooohhh banana pudding! yeah
Oh man! You're right! The nanna and nilla wafers paradise!!!!
Do a go fund me. I want to see the pass out it'll be so good!
Sorry I've never had strawberry shortcake in the South before served with a biscuit. WTH?!?
I think that was a shortcake. Which looks like a biscuit.
That's how us original Southerners I've always eaten Strawberry Shortcake. But for those of you under 50 you may only be used to the store-bought angel food cake or pound cake versions
The old-time recipe is to use shortening bread which is basically a drop biscuit made with shortening(this is why it's called shortcake) and sugar.
flamingpie herman Most people use angels food cake or pound cake.
The strawberry shortcake they served was more like the New England version
"It's hummingbird cake"
*"I'm vegitarian.."* LMAO
It’s just name for a cake and bird wasn’t harm of making this cake it just name
@@lilachilders9444 1:07 🙃
Literally lived in South in country 22 miles from any decent size town. On a farm on top of that. Only had 2 of these deserts in my life. Don't know who told you these are southern deserts are crazy. Banana pudding would have been number one, plain chocolate pie 2, apple pie or plain peach cobbler 3 or pecan pie 3, hand made churned ice cream also. Blue berry pie, many more
1. Who puts nuts in cobbler? 2. that is not how strawberry shortcake is done in the south. Angel food cake y'all! 3. How do they not like peanut butter?
I'm wondering why they didn't put ice cream on the cobbler and why they put nuts in it instead...doesnt add up
BANNANA PUDDING WAS LEFT OUT WHAT DO YOU MEAN
They don't really like peanut butter because it isn't indigenous to Ireland or any other European country for that matter, since peanuts don't grow there. And it's real popular in America since George Washington Carver essentially popularized it
suzyq20 You got that right. My Aunts would all be rolling in there r graves to hear about Cobbler with pecans IN it! Indeed!
It's a yankee impression of what southern food is.
collectively every southerners eye twitches at "pee-can" its pronouced puh khan!
Yes!! Pee-can is what MawMaw kept under her bed to save having to go to the out house in the middle the night. 😏
Theyre irish, give it a break😂 they speak a different dialect.
Not just southerners either.
@@mork4971 Tennesse here we say puh Kahn. And I'm on the Ga Tn line
@@mork4971 raised in an outhouse? JK! :P
No self respecting southern cook has a hard pie crust. They should be ashamed giving them a store bought pie!!
Those pie crusts are a disgrace to the word pie! Someone needs to learn how to use a pastry tool or even two case knives to cut in the shortening *and* how to use less water, use everything cold, and use ice water! Whoever made that pie crust made every mistake you can make when doing a pie crust.
...unless it's from Publix.
I'm not even a fan, but any survey of Southern desserts without 'Nana Puddin' is incomplete.
"It is very strong" as she shoves a slice of cake bigger than the fork down her throat.
In the south we say.... bless her heart.
I'm not sure I have ever heard of Hummingbird Cake and I have lived in the south for 50 years.
I've never heard of it either.
I believe hummingbird cakes are a Georgia staple.
I had it in South Carolina
I have and I'm from southeast Tennessee. I don't think I have tried I tho I don't care much for sweets.
It's from Jamaica. Don't see how that's Southern but ok.
i prefer my strawberry shortcake made with a vanilla poundcake. the biscuits are usually too dry and bland for me.
same.
Who in the world eats strawberry shortcake with biscuits instead of actual cake? What the hell
@@caucasoidus_anglicus - i spent last summer trying to make the perfect british strawberry scone. finally did it, and all i can say is, "man, the brits can keep them!" lol
Real strawberry shortcake is NOT made with pound cake. What they served is exactly right. It’s like a crumbly biscuit and that one looked great. It’s the Southerners (of which there are millions and I can say that since my entire family is from Alabama and I live in Texas) who have turned “Strawberry shortcake” into the one with pound cake. However that is a misnomer. Pound cake is not shortcake.
@@caucasoidus_anglicus that’s what Strawberry Shortcake IS. Check any recipe. The shortcake is the scone/biscuit.
I've never heard of pecans in peach cobbler. I've never heard of hummingbird cake. And I don't know how they could leave out chess pie, the most southern of southerny desserts.
I don’t understand why they hate peanut butter so much. It’s so good I literally eat it straight out the jar 😂😂
Its a European thing... but putting chocolate on your bread is apparently ok there.
If you've ever tried what they call "peanut butter", you'd understand.
@@johnmagill9496 is it that different? I like organic peanut butter
Bro I know my girl gets pissed cause I can meek a thing of on in like a week. I’ll even eat a spoonful of the powder shit
@@JeffPenaify I guess it's just a matter of what your used to.
them bashing peanut butter. lol seriously when you're dirt poor at one point peanut butter is a godsend.
Sayem we do like peanut butter. Just not in literally everything.
Alli Besher yup your right at some point peanut butter was like a gift from the angles and we also don't put it on everything
Alli Besher that's true
I get so much crap for hating peanut butter 😂
we use it as a mousetrap put glue all around and peanutbutter in middle gets em everytime
Where's the banana pudding?
When I was in college there was a German student (this was in Pennsylvania). she got introduced to peanut butter and took home about ten jars and gained about 30 pounds that year. She was obsessed with it.
you have to slather sugared strawberries all over the shortcake. it should be SWIMMING. and then spray like 6 feet of whipped cream on top even though your grandma tells you you're not allowed to
Exactly
Hummingbird cake must be very local because I've been to every southern state and never heard of it. Preach cobbler also is never usually served with pecans. It's usually served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. It's like if I went to a Irish restaurant in Atlanta and think I had the real thing. The strawberry shortcake looked sad.
And where was the banana pudding with vanilla wafers????
I've never run into it either.
if you don't know anything "local" it means you haven't been to every state. you've just either passed through or stayed in the city.
Peach cobbler with pecans is huge in east TX. Tons of pecan groves....
I grew up in Oklahoma and now have lived in the deeper south for most of my life I've only ever heard of Hummingbird cake never seen it. Lol it was almost like a myth to me. I've never even seen strawberry shortcake on biscuits or heard of it either and don't think I want to try it. Also never seen pecan's in peach or any cobbler. Also looking at how hard the pecan pie crust was I'd say it was off as well. If they like the gooey part of the pecan pie they should try chess pie it always reminded me of pecan just without the pecans.
Where's the banana pudding and red velvet cake?!? I'm a recent transplant to SC and they are OBSESSED with these two desserts here.
I often associate banana pudding with places that serve BBQ (with mustard-base sauce, not the blasphemous alternatives...), although that may be one particular establishment I'm thinking of.
No. The south loves banana pudding. Every cook out. Every extended family meal and get together. Easter whatever. Its a thing, a delicious thing. Its at cheap buffets and country clubs.
Speaking of which, the banana pudding milkshake at Cookout (the restaurant).
Eats 6 desserts, one is a peanut butter chocolate cake.
"WhY dO yOu PuT pEaNuT bUtTeR iN eVeRyThInG?"

Lemon moraine?
bentleyr00d lemon meringue
justin simmons meringue....good grief boy
justin simmons omg yes pound cake is the best
Ever had Mississippi Mud?
Most of us have never had chocolate and peanut butter cake
Paul Davis Jr.
I haven’t EVER heard of a chocolate cake with peanut butter. That even sounds disgusting. 🤢🤮
Well you guys are missing out. Its amazing.
That actually sounds really good. But some of the stuff they had on here.... Was just sad.
In the next video you should present them with a jar of vegemite, a jar of peanut butter and a gun loaded with one bullet.
Shoot the vegemite
Before it gets to the children
Caliban Darklock lolollolololol!!
Vegemite is vege-mingin.
They really need to rename these too ”A California interpretation to ..." Honestly I'm surprised of the amount of self control it took them to not put avocado on everything.
your shortcake is pitiful should had used a nice slice of pound cake.
Funny, because so many comments on this: biscuits, No angel food, no pound cake! You're all correct. If you've got a pound cake in the freezer, or if you see an angel food cake in the bakery or if you're home and have none of the above, you make biscuits...it's ALL good people. Just use fresh berries, whip up some fresh cream, and all good!
Raymond Price, I never met a “nice slice of pound cake”. Too dry.
I mean the term shortcake is pretty. Much a sweetened biscuit.
So you are claiming that you do not use actual shortcake to make strawberry shortcake??
I think that they should have used a bit more of these mashed strawberries in their natural juices they just slicing strawberries and putting them in there. However for the true Southern experience you have to use biscuits! This newfangled use pound cake using angel food cake thing started happening in the late 70s and I think this younger generation just took it on because it tasted sweeter. The sweetness comes from the mashed berries and Cool Whip
How are y’all gonna have pie without ice cream 😂😂😂 wtf
savannah fields
Ice cream is optional up north.
Movie Nerd true but they’re doing it southern lol
savannah fields I swear they need to have an actual southern American grandmother make them southern food.
I’ve lived in Alabama and Georgia all my life and been in Tennessee Florida and South Carolina tons to visit family and I’ve never heard of having ice cream with it
Been living in the South for years now and just discovered Hummingbird cake on this video. I looked it up and Southern Living said it was the most requested recipe in their history.
Cutestshoes I just tried some couple years ago always been in the south guess its rare
I first had it in 1978. lived in the South all my life but hadn't heard of hummingbird cake til I was 23 year old
I always hated that no one knew what it was. Grandma made it for me all my childhood.
I live in Texas and we have hummingbird cake only in bakery’s. It’s soooo good!
I've heard of it but never had it. I'm 29 and never pass up on a dessert. It's just never been on offer anywhere I've been in TN.
Authentic sounding southern accent at the end. 👍🏼 I've never in my life heard of a peach pecan pie and I've lived in almost every region of the US but mainly in the south. I think fruit may grow more plentifully here than in Europe.
That is NOT strawberry shortcake at all!
It still looked good to me.
Yes it is. Only you southerners ruin it with that sickening sweet angel food cake shit
That pecan pie looked like vending machine product.
actually i used to buy small pecan pies from a vending machine in college. they were pretty good

Peach cobbler with pecans in it? Yikes.
Jovetj
I never even heard of that...yuck!
Right? I almost passed out.
Like potato salad with raisins in it
Facts where do you get your recipes from? lol I feel like they are so random sometimes.
It HAS to be a European site run by someone who has NEVER been here. Biscuits for strawberry shortcake? Pecans in peach cobbler?
I've used biscuits for strawberry shortcake. But yeah, the pecans in the cobbler got me stumped.
I've lived in Georgia for 17 years and have never heard of hummingbird cake
Griffin Maxwell same in from nc
Wowzer Bowser Yeah, they should at least do research before they make it.
Why is strawberry shortcake on a biscuit here.... it's supposed to be on pound cake
Actually, in the South that's how it was traditionally made - with broken pie crust or thick, hearty biscuits... ...made with pound or shortcake is a fairly modern contrivance. Pound cake itself made it's way to the South from the North.
The strawberry shortcake we popularly eat today, has a very French influence...like many of our modern pastries and desserts --- the French do pastry like no other.... ...thanks to their overblown monarchies and the French Revolution...
Just fyi...because food history is good history.
Chell actually it was invented by my grandma
Pretty old lady, eh?
Knox Ashford I think they got the recipe from a Bisquick box.
Knox Ashford exactly
Greetings from Charleston, SC, glad you visited!
That strawberry shortcake looked pitiful. It did look just like somebody made a biscuit and slapped some whipped cream and strawberries on it.
they did
Right?!? That was some dry ass shortcake. Where's the juicey strawberries??
Actually, traditional shortcake is biscuit-like. My family always made sweet biscuits, though my mom just used Bisquick.
Terrible shortcake. No fresh strawberries and no spongecake. Pitiful.
Darya Ionesco most likely did...sad just sad😞😢
Can someone please bring these lovely people to Louisiana for New Orleans Bread Pudding, that'll be great!

Milk or coffee.
"This is called Hummingbird Cake."
Looks horrified: "I'M VEGETARIAN!"
bahahahahah, that cracked me up too
Seems to me that y'all need to account for who's actually making these desserts: Were they all made by Mamaw and eaten within hours of her baking them? Watching folks cutting through some of those pie crusts with their forks, I cannot believe any southern Mamaw was involved. :)
Blackberry cobler is the best.
Love Games there's no such thing as a bad cobbler
The very best cobbler is the in front of ya at the moment.
yum
Love Games peach cobbler for the WIN
Agreed, but peach is the most common so it's a fair representation. Plus at least two states in the south are known for their peaches. Blackberries are more resilient.
No banana pudding, pecans in the cobbler, a weird biscuit cake for the shortcake. Fly me out there. I'll show you REAL southern food.
Freakshow116 So would I!

an Irishman doing a southern US accent is what I was waiting for all my life.
