01:42 if the fried plantain is dry, that means they used a unripe plantain. I prefer them ripe, so that they stay soft and moist after frying. They also taste a lot sweeter then. We eat them a lot in the Caribbean, almost with every meal.
I was going to say the same thing.
Yh thos plantains weren't plantaining
Plus they were cut horrifically
True.I ate plantain for the first time,while I was in France. I bought it from a Carribbean guy,who was frying it at the market. That was the best. Ripe,soft and sweet honey
On the continent, unripe plantains are eaten too. But mostly boiled or as flour.
My Nigerian co-workers told me fufu is meant to be a delivery vehicle for whatever it is dipped in. You roll a little ball, put a divot in it and it's like an edible spoon. It definitely increases the heartiness of whatever you eat it with -- it is pretty filling. A little surprised we didn't see any peanut or okra stews, but maybe that's another video? Africa is a huge continent with lots of tasty regional cuisine!
Oh you need to try fufu with Afang or Egusi soup filled with "obstacles" (goat meat/beef, fish, periwinkle, cray fish), washed down with cold sweet palm wine or beer......aaahhh...heaven....
I use it like a spook. Dig a hole with my thumb to get more soup
❤
In some places it’s bad manner, and I mean terrible manners to touch fufu with both hands & I saw that happen.
Fun fact: the jambalaya of Louisiana came from joloff rice.
Louisiana food, some of the best on the planet (I'm from there so I *may* be biased), has deep roots in Africa, mixed with France, Spain, the Caribbean, and even Native America, all blended together just like a fine scratch-made gumbo.
The South. Not just for racism. (I was born in Alabama, no hate please. But the funny thing is Southerners probably understand the basics of African food better than Northerners. Just sayin'...)
We may have lost most of our culture during slavery but it is wild how many recipes like that can be traced back to Africa.
So Louisiana is spiritually connected to Senegal because Joloff rice come from Senegal. Jolof is an ethny living mostly in Senegal. The main Joloff rice dish is Tieboudien meaning "Fish rice".
I've had jambalaya in Louisiana not sure what joloff rice is. Can you help a Tennessee boy understand? Admittedly a daunting task, Please try?
I'm more familiar with Moroccan and Ethiopian cuisine, but West African food looks pretty good. Especially that jollof rice and chicken dish. Saying "African" is pretty general a descriptor since there are over 50 distincly different countries in it with an even greater number of regional cuisines.
Agreed! I would have loved to have had the countries from which the dishes originated identified.
Thomas even pointed that out. "What does that mean?". It's like doing a shoot and saying "We're trying Asian food!"
I think most of the dishes were West African.
It's like saying "trying European food!". It's a whole continent, dude. Not cool
Right. It's much like serving European food and giving people foie gras followed by perogies.
The cheerful lady who's so excited about plantains is the best part of the video 😁
@@ericgaudet5488 Of course. No Catholic would be that cheerful.
@@afcgeo882 bwahaha
@@afcgeo882 😅 Very funny but that is her name Pagan.
@@ericgaudet5488 I know, and I doubt the Church ever Christened her with such a name.
@@afcgeo882 it's Ireland, so it's probably like Siobhan and actually pronounced 'Steve' or something.
;)
I love the energy of Pagan. Her and CallyAnn together would make our brains explode.
@hughfullerphd - Well, or britches. Sorry, I couldn't resist.
Her laugh is amazing.
@nickfrito I agree totally
Paganism
Couldn't be more agree with you!!☺☺☺
watching dermot and pagan together is like watching an old cat interacting with a puppy lol. adorable
Her name is "Pagan" which is an incredibly cool name for a celt.
"Dermot I'm flattered, but I'm _married"_
"She's _flattered!!!"_
@@adrianaslund8605 pagan is actually a useless name. It say a lot about her parent and how fcked up they were
Omg this is so funny and accurate!
"Is that a catfish? It looks nothing like it's Tinder profile." Pure gold! Quick witted these lads.
This episode was entertaining, as always!
This was more of west African food than "African food " generally. Our region is unimaginably vast (the maps don't do us any justice) and different regions have different styles of cooking and unique flavours. All the same, quite an entertaining episode
I mean Africa is humungous to be fair, there are so many cuisines, even in the same country there are so many variations between tribes and what not. The one single time I went to Africa I visited Congo for a friend's wedding (his family paid for the trip and I was told it would be disrespectful to decline to go, I was extremely ill at the time, so it was certainly a trip lol) and I loved it. The people were incredibly nice, the food was amazing, and there were so many styles of food in the small area I wound up being in. It actually reminds me of South Korea and Japan to be honest.
@@LordLOCsorry for being ill at the time of your trip but hope you still enjoyed our motherland
Dude, Dermot pairs well with everybody (imho) but Pagan and Dermot is A+, really cool dynamic. Paddy's joke was pretty good and the soup jokes were the bee's knees.
And the fishes eyes
I agree. Those bees have excellent knees.
Pagan girl, you are full of sunshine and fun!
Thank you :)
Never thought Paddy would look small in a shoot but Thomas is towering over him! - Need a 3 person one with Thomas, Paddy and Clisare!
Maybe it's a Lord Of The Rings perspective trick and Thomas is sitting way closer to the camera than Paddy. Ha!
How's about a new Irish cop show, staring all three of them.
Called,
Fe, Fi, Oh Fuck!
lol!
He's a big unit. Reminds me of techno Viking guy.
Pagan's energy and laugh should be sold as an anti-depressant. She's wonderful.💚
Absolutely love how respectful they are❤️. P.s: plantains aren't supposed to be dry. If they are it means they're either unripe or they were ripened artificially.
As an African, I was excited when I got this notification! I’m just glad they didn’t bust out the okra soup tho lmao 🫣
as someone from the American South: I *love* okra!
I love okra!
As someone who lives in north America I was surprised to see plantains featured so much as I always associate it with central and south American food.
@@eurogael I'm betting that enslaved folks brought plaintains to the Caribbean when they were stolen from Africa. I grew up in Miami, so I absolutely love plaintains.
@@greendragonpublishing That thought should have occured to me.
Seriously, the way Dermot matches his energy with his partner is amazing. You are the GOAT, dude!
funnily enough, goat meat is common in Africa xD
As a Zambian, I'm here for John. I wonder if he has been to Zambia 🇿🇲
I had a college professor from Zambia, she was awesome.
Yes. John is the bees knees. AND he can singggggg! 😜🤗
@@Maebull70 it was the absinthe episode he did with Irish Jesus when he sang that ditty while drinking the black currant absinthe
@@faiththomas1749 Yes. I know, that's why I said he can sing. 😉😊
Exactly what I wondered! Nshima is delicious, and I approve of eating with your hands.
Looks like mostly West African food. Would be nice to showcase food from all regions.
Ive never tried these dishes, need to try them soon.
That jollof rice really turned it around.... everyone started gobbling up 😂😂❤❤
the jollof had em in a choke hold 😂
They only did that, because the Rice dish was the only thing they can “identify”
😂😂❤
i hate fish, but anything peppersoup in africa, especially fish they love it!! cause of the spicyness and texture in the mouth...kills all gag reflex instead a deep urge to try a second spoonfull to experience it more
This was one of my favourite shoots! 💖 I need to go out and get Jollof Rice and Chicken now 🥰
You were so excited!
@@GERBILLOGIC I really was! ❤
For the longest I thought I was crazy seeing you on this channel lmao - went from a stray kids reaction to this 😅
Have it with fried plantains too, jollof rice plantains and chicken is a great combo.
@@barrijparker6483 hahah 🥰 glad you enjoy both content ❤️
As a Nigerian, I loved this video.
Please do more!
As a Mexican American… yes!!!! We need to learn more!!
I ADORE that they are getting to try hot dishes from around the world. This is fantastic!
Im shook that she knows about Miellie Pap... that's a southern African staple food...😊 She knows nice things
She literally said she was born in South Africa, so she’s South African who emigrated back to Europe
Pagan's absolute joy was so fun to watch!
Pagan was the shining star here. Her eyes just lit up :) Nicely done for the tryers eating a whole new cuisine.
Loved Paddy’s “oh” after the gizzard dish description.
I've viciously hated gizzards since first exposed to them by my foster mother from Florida in about 1973
Paddy's "oh" at the description of gizzards was hilarious
The girls energy is contagious ❤
Bulgarian here! 🇧🇬 Gizzards are quite popular in our cuisine but they have to be very well prepared, otherwise they can be horribly chewy! They're a great addition to chicken soup, chopped up in there! 🤤 My Nan didn't even bother chopping them up small, she just put the whole thing in the soup and always made sure it ended up in my bowl, she knew it was my favourite! 🥰 Great, it's after midnight and I am craving chicken soup now...🙄
Gizzards are eaten in the US too, usually in the southern states. Usually friend because, well, Americans will fry pretty much everything.
@@CortexNewsService In the southern US, if it ain't fried, it ain't food...
Yes, usually you boil or pressure cook them to tenderize then fry
@@AndrewAMartin true. The Midwest isn't afraid of a deep fryer either.
12:05 Keep the joyful blond woman, she brings life into this channel. My God, her laugh is contagious. 🤭🤭🤭
🥰
Everytime Pagan is on the show I keep non-stop thinking about how AMAZING it is that someone is named Pagan!🤯😭🙌♥️
Pagan the African Irish woman.
@@kingsgaurd ^plot twist: and follows a "main" religion
She would be a walking contradiction 🤣
@@Z_TPI Unless you consider the likelihood of that, given the country of origin.
Pagan is an Irish name. It doesn't mean the same as it does in English.
I love to know how she prefers it to be pronounced.
This video was wonderful! Tryers being legitimately surprised on new foods. Well done!
In the Southern USA, chicken gizzards are often deep fried and pretty yummy. Cheers all!
This. My mother would boil them within an inch of their lives before she fried them, so they would melt in your mouth.
@@juanita_rocksteady2761 and now i'm hungry.
I need some gizzards now!!
I’m a Carolina girl and no one here fries them we either add them to Chicken pastry or make gravy with them at holiday time. I’ve never seen fried gizzards.
@@baileyholloman2007 Southern GA and Florida you see them at the lunch counters at just about every truck stop and gas station that serves hot food,fried gizzards with Louisiana hot sauce and a side of potato wedges is an awesome lunch.!
I had no idea Pagan was from Africa, thats awesome! Seeing her do her happy dance just made my day, that woman could cure depression with that smile
piercehaugh1583 - The thought crossed my mind, that if she were ever to relocate to anywhere on the American Continent, she'd be African-American.
@@dobiebloke9311 ...god damn it
@@dobiebloke9311 she'd be like an elon musk like african american :)
@@MrLedeberg More like Dave Matthews - Elon is a talentless hack with too much money.
@@AndrewAMartin oh Dave Matthews is born in africa where is he from ?
If you can, try Ethiopian food. It is incredible! The bread/crepe that they make is lovely and fun to scoop up the food.
Injera! If they do that shoot, then I will book a flight to Dublin to be on it, haha. Ethiopian food is my jam
some people don't like injera because of the texture, a Texican friend of mine calls injera the Ethioian tortilla
@fmfdocbotl4358 I've actually had an Ethiopian make injera. Spongy but great for scooping up everything served with it.
I'm Puertorican and I adore gizzards!!!! We eat them here too.
Paddy, Dermot and John… it’s a great day🎉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😀💚💚💚
After Dermot said it was either going to be spectacularly good or horribly bad I was honestly waiting for Durian lol
Or nut butter 🥜
Durian without Justine Stafford would be a waste!
@@ghw7192 they had her eat actual durian, I think it’s clear the durian saga is over
Thanks again y'all! Another great video. Paddy's "ohhh" after the explanation of gizzards was so adorable! It spoke volumes. Love you all so much.
It’s like being back home in the Caribbean, which of course was heavily influenced by African cuisine. Rice and plantains are staples. In PR Cassava is yuca (root vegetable) and it’s used in stews, fried with a dip, with onions and many other ways. Plantains to me are either crispy flattened plantain you add salt to or a sauce on top (fried plantain or tostones) or fried but soft and sweet (sweet plantain or maduros). I don’t eat gizzards but that’s one of my family’s favorite.
Gizzards are popular here in the states, too. There's a fried chicken chain that has livers and gizzards as a side... when I was a kid I call them lizards.
Always a pleasure to see nice people enjoying my childhood food (Joloff Rice). I am 42 and I never thaught it would happen one day. Some people used to tease me with the smell coming from my mom kitchen when I was a kid. But I have always loved thoses dishes so much. So thank you for enjoying my heartwarming food
Dermot is my new spirit animal.
Idk how that works, I'm not a rocket surgeon. I just know that he cracks me up and makes my heart smile.
Dermot and Sean kickin’ it back & forth was hilarious! Dermot & Pagan together was a cute, fun surprise. Paddy with the “talking” fish 😂😂😂
Wonderful experience, no doubt, to learn about all these new textures and flavours. Good on ya!
Love Pagan tutoring Dermot! Her excitement is palpable ❤️😁
I genuinely enjoyed watching their reactions. So wholesomen
Would have been interesting to see if Dermot would've like groundnut soup with chicken and rice. 🇸🇱 We all know how he feels about "groundnuts" aka peanuts. Lol
That would have been a tough one for him.
Actually, I don't know if it's peanuts themselves that he hates, or just peanut butter. 🤔
Here in Iowa, you can find hog\cow\sheep nut fry's on the calendar, on weekends. When the Try Channel was in the US, I sent a message that they could stop by Iowa and find (especially during our State Fair which is just insane with weird food) new cuisine.
chickens would disagree
@@JonPaullearn what food is
Pagan is adorable and I love how proud she is of the food she grew up with
Loved watching this 🥰 They've enjoyed jerky so I'd love to see them try South African food - biltong, droewors, chakalaka and pap, and koeksister 💛🇿🇦🇿🇦
You guys never fail to delight. Such wholesome and funny reactions.
Hey, John! Always classin' it up for us!
Thanks for sharing this interesting challenge with us to broaden our global food aspirations. 😀 Love you guys for being brave enough to try new things ✨️
Wow Pagan still hasn't lost any of her upbeat hope yet! Well done girl!
I love everything about this!! Wholesome
Nice to see another Irish South African enjoy familiar foods
Their first meeting and Pagan knows EXACTLY how to handle Dermot. Bravo!
Dermot and Pagan for the win! 😁
Good one ! Dermot, your accent at the end was great and the reference... perfect !
Your suppose to pressure cook the gizzards for 1 hr and they are soo good tender it beats soaking in buttermilk overnight.
Yay! Zambia was mentioned💃🎊🎉🎊💃 as a Zambian, I am happy.🙃😁
🇿🇦 we love you guys ❤️
🇿🇦🇮🇪💜
i am a Kenyan and i love the enthusiastic approach by these Irish folks..
loved this!
Nice - it's always good when TRY-ing goes a bit further afield. Thanks for taking us along on an interesting and informative ride!
I'd love to see the Tryers try Ethiopian food! If they're confused by fufu, I think injera would blow their minds, and Ethiopian food tends to be hot!
This was too funny!! I loved how open minded they all were❤
Lovely episode. Thank you my Try Dudes and dudettes!
This was Pagan's Try, and they gave her Dermot because they knew he would go for it (why?, because he's Dermot).
I don't know how accurate the African food at Boma in Disney World is, but it was some of the best food I ever had.
Well, it's probably cooked in Trans fat being Disney.
@@popsfereal I see what you did there, lmao
Lmao that is no where close to any food from africa😂
Love Thomas so much, his delivery cracks me up!
Any episode with Pagan is entertaining & visually exciting!
The fact that she knows what Pap is 😌👌🏾
I hope next time you'll introduce them to East African food because it's completely different. I would suggest Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia because each country's cuisine is different from the other.
I spent time there and love the food
the things I learn from this channel is amazing.
It's always nice to see these smiling faces!! Makes my horrible days at work disappear!!!
Pagan seemed to be in heaven!! I really love it when they surprise the Tryers with something they love, or will love!!!
I’ve only been to this wonderful Ethiopian restaurant & the 2nd dish (the bread) reminds of what is called “injira” & it comes rolled up, it has a very stretchy & spongy texture & taste like sourdough. You’re supposed to unroll a piece & use it to pick up your other food & eat it all in 1 bite. Actually I believe in Ethiopia they feed each other bites as a family style meal.
I love gizzards, but I've only had them breaded and fried, American style. I'd love to try it the way other countries prepare it. I might have to look up a recipe and try to make it myself.
Love the Try videos! Some things I have seen you try I have had, some I would never try... On this one, the gizzards made me smile. When I was growing up, my dad would fry chicken gizzards (coated with seasoned flour) in butter, as a snack when we would watch Monday Night Football. Granted, they were not cooked like what you all just ate, but gizzards are something that we eat in the US.
Super enjoyed watching Pagan get a taste of home!
Look at Dermot being all nice and polite with the new girl. Wait till she sees the real Dermot! LOLOLOL (They must have told him not to scare her off on her first shoot! 🤣)
I love this Channel all these people are great
@@CCoburn3 // You've said it PERFECTLY!! 😃
I loved this, absolutely warmed my heart. I just wish I got to cook the food for you guys 😂
Damn!! That pagan is fire 🔥 😍
My favorite channel
This is funny to watch loool that guy calling it bread is hilarious
Pagan has that new puppy energy and Dermot is the dog that just wants to lay in the sunny spot and is not sure what to make of her at first.
I've had Turkey gizzards from roasting a Turkey for Thanksgiving and pickled at a German buffet here in Wisconsin. Gizzards are good eats. We also can buy them in a jar pickled, good beer snack.
i can 100% confirm that jallaf rice and roasted meat/chicken is a BANGER DISH
Watching them eat gizzard 1st time was HILARIOUS! I grew up eating it & using it in soups & fried. We eat it all the time.
Hilarious video. This makes me so thankful for my upbringing and childhood in Nigeria.
I love fried chicken gizzards! All that food looked great. Good video!
Pagan is the best! Her excitement is so contigious! ❤
Thank you ❤
Yah, Pagan and Callyann would be Serotonin overload! Haha❤❤
Well thanks for trying our African food. To be honest we also find your foods hard to come around but with time we get used to and love some of it.❤
Pagan is lovely. She needs to be on more often
These are basically all Nigerian meals..... Ogbono soup, fufu, jollof rice, fried plantain, fish pepper soup....really nice.... the video should have been titled Nigerian meals... I grew up on these delicacies...yummy...
Fufu is actually from Ghana(it's actuall origin) jollof rice came from senegal, fried plantain has been a delicacy in west africa well over a century. Stop being ignorant buddy, the only Nigerian invention here is the ogbono soup, the rest have their origins in different parts of africa and that's why the video is titled african food.
@@rahmanbah8302The title of the video should be "Trying West African Food"
@@rahmanbah8302Jellof rice is now owned by Nigerians. I can't imagine travelling to Africa to eat any Jellof rice that's not Nigerian. In fact all these dishes are owned by Nigerians right now lol
@@rahmanbah8302pls the fufu is Nigeria one not pounding fufu as Ghana pls watch very well
@@rahmanbah8302it’s not from Ghana,it’s from Nigeria
Try channel is legend. This was gorgeous!
Surprisingly enough I’ve had most of these & enjoyed most all of them as I dated a Ghanaian native it was all quiet good
Love this specific group of people, tho I also do love Clisare, she’s my favorite.
Pagan and dermot together is perfect! Would like to see them in a drinking video
