It’s funny that Kiwis and Aussies refer to ketchup as “tomato sauce”
In America & Canada, “tomato sauce” exclusively refers to any puréed tomato-based sauce for pasta or meat, like marinara
Ketchup is tomato sauce with vinegar and sugar added. So if they call ketchup tomato sauce, what term do they use for plain tomato sauce?
It is not just them. In England it was always tomato sauce so the same in all the former colonies (except Canada I guess).
I’ve heard Brits say “tomato ketchup” whoch is a bit of an oxymoron since 99.9% of the time the tomato variety of ketchup will be the only option.
Its true though that I love ketchup but would never use tomato sauce in place of it
@@caulkins69we call condiments by their normal names on the bottle. Ketchup isn’t said differently. Someone might generalize by asking for sauce, but that would refer to anything made for dipping. Tomato soup is tomato soup, tomato sauce you’d use for spaghetti for example is the only thing I’ve actually heard called tomato sauce.
@@brandonaston301 That's not an oxymoron, it's just a redundancy.
The kids have grown so much since I've seen you all. ❤️✌️
Btw, beautiful!
Atlanta is gorgous young lady. She looks great
This was exactly my first thought. They're growing before our very eyes!
I have to agree!🥰 I'm still trying to figure out who takes after whom.
They haven't been on for a month or 2, and there is a noticable growth in both just in that short time
@@rmtsohyang-yoyoka6013 They were there for the Superbowl video...
There was an old man that was a former Navy cook and had a little mom and pop restaurant here in my hometown. He was known as "Biscuit Bill". His biscuits were the size of your hand and his gravy could make you cry. His daughter now owns the place and even though she's seen her dad make b&g a thousand times, she will admit they are somehow just not the same. Bill was a wonderful person that never let someone go hungry and several times served me b&g when I was a kid and didn't have money. He did that for several of us poor kids. R.I.P "Biscuit Bill". 🤠
I grew up in the South, and my mother was a traditional Southern cook. I was a teenager before I knew there was such a thing as unsweetened tea. Mom's tea was so sweet that it was practically syrup. She made biscuits and cornbread from scratch, fried chicken, collard greens, blackberry cobbler from freshly picked blackberries, pecan pie from pecans straight off the tree, and countless other cakes and pies. There's a reason the Southern states have more overweight people than Northern states.
Triscuits are delicious, and made with 100% Michigan wheat.
Never knew that! (From MI, originally)
Dietitian recommended them bc they have wheat, oil, salt. Nothing else, unless you get the flavored ones
Triscuits with Cabot VT Extra Sharp Cheddar are the GOAT
@lordmortarius538 I had been working with her for 2 or 3 weeks and eating pretty much the same thing all of the time, with no crackers or anything crispy. The day she asked me if I liked the thin crisps, you could have knocked me over with a feather! I use them instead of tortilla chips, put cheese on them and salsa
It's easy to go through 2 or 3 boxes in one sitting.😂😂❤
The salt & pepper ones are the best, IMO. I can eat them right out of the box, or with some garlic cream cheese.
I just want to make a note about the "American cheese isn't real cheese" trope that's so exceedingly popular everywhere. It is. It's cheddar or sometimes colby cheese that has been stabilized with sodium citrate to prevent separation while being pasteurized. The only reason it's not considered "real" cheese is because of the FDA's definitions which are nothing more than semantics. American cheese is made with milk, with real cheese, but has had its shelf-stability increased. That's all. The name "processed cheese" is also stupid, because ALL cheese is processed. We already have a word for unprocessed cheese....it's called MILK!
Yep! You're spot on! American cheese was invented to get cheese in more people's hands. Especially soldiers abroad. Before processed cheese, cheese would spoil before it could be transported any significant distance. There are some very interesting videos on YT about it.
American cheese or processed cheese isn't ideal universally, but on some things it's practically essential. I don't like to make my own cheeseburgers with American cheese, but when I make my own egg McMuffins or sausage-egg-McMuffins, it has to be American-nothing else tastes right.
@@jovetjYep. A lot of things that we have, today came out of World War 2. They needed a shelf stable cheese, to last, until it got to camps or field kitchens. Same thing with the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, etc.
And, you can buy “real” American cheese. It’s right there beside the “cheese food.”
Its not real cheese at all anymore its mostly processed oils they can't even legally call it cheese with how little dairy is in it
Get 'em
The sweet tea is very sweet but when you order it you can order 1/2 sweet tea and 1/2 unsweetened tea to bring the sugar levels down to where it's drinkable.
I'm a Arnold Palmer guy myself.
I grew up on sweet tea and I find it disgusting since i became an adult.
Marshmallows are considered a confection (basically a fancy word for sugar food). They were originally made using marshmallow root sap, but that was eventually replaced by gelatin.
An Arnold Palmer (famous golfer) drink consists of 50% ice tea and 50% lemonade. It’s delicious.
I never knew who the drink was named after. It is definitely a tasty one. Especially in the summer.
I believe that was his drink after he quit drinking alcohol. Now if you go to a bar you can order a John Daly it's an Arnold Palmer with vodka.
I REALLY want to try Liquid Death's Dead Billionaire, previously known as Armless Palmer, since i do find them to be pretty tasty. i haven't iiked their other teas, though I do like their flavored Sparkling Waters.
I drink that daily, drinking it now actually. It's my favorite.
my favorite tea
I know y'all aren't big fans of root beer but I grew up with root beer floats. When I was a kid we'd go out on Saturday nights for root beer floats, ice cream sundaes or banana splits. My dad worked crazy hours and that was his way of splurging. That and the drive-in movies during the summer.
Yum...and when the foam bits would turn into ice? Loved floats as a kid
@@LindaC616 NOTHING better than the crunchy foam!
We lived near A&W drive-in back in the 70s. I was raised on rootbeer.😊
@@timisme8360 😋😋
@Starsk25 omg, jealous! I grew up out in the country on a lake, which was fabulous in itself. But those things or any other restaurant were at least half an hour from us. And when I was extremely young, my parents shared one car, and my father was a fireman who worked 3 days on and 3 days off. So we often had to go into the city to pick him up. Now and then, sometimes, after a doctor's appointment, if we were good, my mother would treat us to hot dogs and root beer. And it was a whole experience eating in the car outside
Omg when did the kids become full blown teenagers?? Beautiful family inside and out! Always love your videos ❤️
Sweet tea down south is often measured by eyeballing or as a friend likes to say "Keep pouring until your ancestors say stop." Unless you're in a restaurant, in which case, it's usually 3 cups (750g) per 1 gallon (3.79 liters).
Biscuits and Gravy is not just regular white gravy, it is Sausage Gravy. You cook sausage meat first (crumbled) then mix your flour, milk, salt, and pepper in and stir until thickened. My husband's Grandmother also used to make boiled eggs that you could put on top.
Sounds like you've been livin the life!
I could swear it hasn't been that long since I've seen Atlanta and Denzel in a video but holy cow they've grown.
I just said the same thing.
Agreed. I've been away a couple months and they look like teenagers now. lol
I was just thinking the same thing!?!! Holy moly! ❤😂😅😂😅❤
Me too ..Atlanta looks just like mom ❤
I'm so glad to see Denzel and Atlanta back in a video. They have great opinions and their participation is always very entertaining.
So that’s their names! I’ve been following this channel for a couple months and every time I’ve been hoping to find out what their names are. Two down, two to go.😊
@@julievanderleest the parents are Nadine and Sam hahaha
@@julievanderleest
Dad:Sam
Mom: Nadine
Daughter: Atlanta
Son: Denzel
Now you can enjoy.
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw
Don’t forget the dog. Kodi.
I think the dogs name is Kylo!
The thing about processed cheese slices is, they're not supposed to be served alone. They're designed to be placed over hot meats, like a hamburger.They melt and become a "sauce" over the meat.
Biscuits and gravy is what I miss most about being gluten free and low carb 😂🤤
What you realize about ice in soda is that it counter balances the insane levels of sugar and carbonation. The melted ice at the bottom rehydrates you after the sugar has absorbed all the water from every cell in your body.
In carbonated drinks, physics demands ice. When dissolving a solid into a liquid, like salt into water, heat is better. Hot water will dissolve more salt and hold it dissolved. For a gas dissolved in liquid, the opposite is true-cold is better. The colder the soda pop, the better it can keep the carbon dioxide dissolved and the better and fizzier it will taste.
I don't put ice in milk or orange juice or whatnot.
@@jovetj😂 I have seen people put ice in milk and when I asked why, they said they needed the milk ice cold! To me ice milk is ice cream that ain't frozen! 😂 I love ice in soda though!
@@paulvamos7319…..I put ice and a flavor syrup in my milk (usually desert pear or cotton candy). It makes the milk drinkable.
@@WyattRyeSway If I could, I would get my milk straight from the source! #Moo, moo! 🐄😁
Ice in my fruit juice too. It helps cut the thick, heavy juice and the sweet, sometimes tangy juice. Cold is an extra benefit. Lol
Ranch dressing was actually invented in Alaska by a cook at a work camp. He later moved to California and started the "Hidden Valley Ranch" corporation to mass market his creation.
Here in midwest America, ranch dressing is a food group all by itself.
In Europe they call it “American sauce”
Hidden Valley is the WORST ranch dressing.
As someone who views hidden valley as the best, mass produced ranch dressing, which one is better? What's your go-to?
@@cshubs As far as I'm concerned, ALL ranch dressing sucks. The only place it's acceptable is the dry packet powder on a Missisippi roast beef.
A lot of families are trying to do what you’ve done. But, it was your families personality that won us over a long time ago. So happy you all enjoyed your trip!! 😊
The way to enjoy candy corn is to mix it with peanuts - sweet and salty. They are really good this way. My dad was born in South Carolina and grits were a staple at breakfast with eggs and bacon/ham/sausage. He added butter and a little sugar if for breakfast. If eaten later in the day, he would add cheese and jalapenos. You can add pretty much add what you want to them for sweet or savory.
Yes!! Candy corn and peanuts! Yumm!
Twinkies didn't used to taste so artificial. Loved em as a kid. Nice reaction!
I've never cared for Twinkies, but I'm told they're just not the same since the company that made them went out of business and someone else revived them.
Last time I had one was like 15 years ago and the yellow sponge cake part of then had a really bad taste to it. Turned me off of them.
@@spcmegreg same here on how long ago i've had one, but long, long ago they were great.
@jovetj above explained why they changed
Yeah they have a nice chemically zing now! 😝🤢
The things that make life worth living aren’t thought. They’re felt.
You have created a special NZfamily community, that allows everyone to “feel” a part of your family. Thank you & we love y’all too!!
I live in Georgia in the United States. I eat grits every morning for breakfast. A bowl with just some butter salt and pepper is so good and fulfilling in the morning. Throw some eggs and bacon and it’s heaven on earth!
I used to pull my pop-tarts out of the toaster and butter the side that had no frosting (salted butter). The salty-sweet warm goodness was one of my favorite things growing up.
When you tried A&W or root beer, have you tried a root beer float with ice cream? Totally different taste
Heads up you don't have to go to Outback for a bloomin onion. You can go to Texas Roadhouse for an "Onion Blossom" and may other steakhouses have an onion prepared the same way. Its basically a pull-apart onion ring and its dipped in a spicy ranch dip. Like Ranch, Cayenne & Paprika together.
It’s remoulade sauce.
Many restaurants have onion petals, which are bite sized pieces of onions rather than still being connected in the ring. They're usually flavored the same.
@@charleyh.553A lot of restaurants get their appetizers off the back of a frozen food truck, so they're all basically the same. 😆
I have tried both Outback and Texas Roadhouse. The onion is too close to have a problem with, but in my opinion the sauce at Outback is noticeable better. Since the sauce is the staple of the flavor, I recommend Outback’s bloomin onion.
I was about 5 or 6 years old when I first had grits (In Nashville Tennessee) with sorghum molasses. Loved them ever since, had them many ways.
Biscuits and gravy is the absolute BEST!!!!!!
I echo the comment from Kiersten. I was shocked at how grown Denzel and Atlanta have become.
Its like the trip to the U.S. aged them both 2 years. And they look so much like their parents too. Atlanta basically looks like Nadine's little sister at this point. Same with Denz and Sam.
They grow like weeds, hence the term.
Cheese whiz and Triscuits: Spray cheese and small wheat crackers that are very dense. Triscuits have been around since 1900.
When you go to the south, I recommend Savannah, Georgia, and Charleston, South Carolina. They're about two hours apart and considered "Deep south." You'll find good grits, biscuits and gravy, and sweet tea. And southern hospitality to write home about!
It's largely due to their age that they're called "triscuits" -- the "tri" comes from the word "elecTRIcity." -- they were baked in electric ovens, and at the time that was a selling point due to the more controlled heat levels in electric ovens, thus ensuring more consistent quality over other cracker brands.
My neighbor make "tiramisu" with Twinkies. He dips them in espresso, covers with sweetened marscapone the dusts with chocolate.. 😊
I love this channel bc you are open minded and willing to try new things, especially involving your children. This is an incredible experience for them. Im so loving this for yall... Please try the Strawberry Milkshake Pop tarts, omgggg.. is all i have to say
Alanta has grown up beautifully and takes after her dad. Denzel has grown handsomely and takes after his mom. Great family!
Atlanta is so beautiful.. the next top model.. but because I’m gay.. no comment on Denzel yet .. I guess he’s handsome, but he’s still too young to know
You are correct though.. it’s cute how Atlanta takes after her Dad and Denzel takes after his mum
Denzel is in his most awkward stage of puberty.. and I understand that as I went through that recently. I think we’ve got another year or so to know whether puberty was kind
This is food reaction stop judging the kids looks. Internet doesn't need that crap here. Also very creepy.
Please excuse the inappropriate comments! Yikes!
I think that Atlanta looks like her mom and Denzel favors his dad, but a lighter version. Great kids! God bless your family!
Texas Road House also has a Cactus Blossom which is exactly like a Bloomin Onion.
That figures. Like Outback Steakhouse, Texas Roadhouse is a corporate creation with no roots in the place it pretends to represent.
Make your own biscuits and sausage gravy!!! My mom taught me 40 years ago and I’ve passed it on so many times. “B&G sticks to your ribs”
What the rest of the country thinks of as "Chicken and Waffles" isn't what you will get in Pennsylvania. PA Dutch C&W is sliced roast chicken on waffles, with chicken gravy over it. ** If you don't like Candy Corn, or Autumn Mix, you don't like honey.
America made Atlanta and Denzel grow up so fast. Wow! ❤ must have been the fried foods and ice. 😉😁
Growth hormone in the dairy.
Amazing how long and blonde Atlanta’s hair has gotten!!! I forgot it’s y’all’s summer. Left handed Tennessee guy checking in!!
Love biscuits & gravy! I grew up on SOS…gravy on toast. One of my family’s favorites.
Not all American cereals are sweetened. I prefer unsweetened (Cheerios, Rice Krispies) or lightly sweetened (Kix).
Tomato sauce is canned pureed tomatoes seasoned with salt and used as an ingredient in other recipes. Pasta sauce is thicker tomato sauce, usually thickened with canned tomato paste, seasoned with Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, garlic) added.
Fruit salad is fresh fruit cut into bite size pieces with ait of thickened fruit juice as a dressing. Ambrosia salad is pineapple, mandarin orange segments, shredded coconut, and sometimes grapes or cherries in a dressing of whipped cream, mini marshmallows and sour cream. Every family in the midwest has their own version. My family called it Heavenly Hash.
Ranch dressing is everywhere. My daughter’s family likes it drizzeled on pizza. Chicago style pizza has 2 versions thick, stuffed pizza from (the best is Lou Malnati’s) or thin crust, my favorite. The crust is cracker thin and crispy on the edges.
Mint Oreos taste like Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies.
Glad you enjoyed your visit here.
15:50 Denzie hugging kylo is the cutest thing
There's a lot of regional stuff, for instance in New Mexico we have green chile, spelled correctly, with everything. BBQ is different in every part of the country. Regional burgers is a show in itself.
True that! I like Memphis style bbq personally. (But any bbq is good bbq as far as I'm concerned!)
America has been tricking people into thinking she’s one country for almost 250 years. We’re really fifty countries in a trench coat.
nice seeing support for the rootbeer, especially the floats and twinkies here were always good cause we would go to the wonder thrift store next to the factory on broadway(saint louis, missouri) and get them and the bread. always smelled so wonderful with the air filled with cooking bread.
but sad cause their isnt much love for the candy corn. it may seem like "loser candy" but when you grow up with not much, any candy is good candy. plus theres harvest mix, pumpkins and chocolate corn.
lots of good food everywhere and no where. but then its just you and what you like that counts. dont judge it till you try it.
have an awesome year,
peace
With the Blooming Onion, it's all about the sauce to dip the onions segments into. If you like onion rings, just make a batch of Blooming Onion Sauce to go with it.
Enjoy
The salad with marshmellows is called ambrosia. Its delicious and is typically eaten as a side during picnics or pot lucks
Not the fruit salad pictured, though. What he showed wasn’t ambrosia. It was just a regular fruit salad.
From when I started watching your channel, the kids have grown up so much into young adults. I really enjoyed your channel.
#16 Grits YES! And yes, put butter and/or some other stuff on top. I get my grits from Marsh Hen Hills in Edisto island, SC.
Agreed - Twizzlers are icky. Like candy corn, but they're pretty low on any candy list.
Licerce twizzlers are good but only them!
It's funny seeing others reacting to your videos. I've seen students from England trying biscuits and gravey, and they didn't think they would like it but had the same opinion as your family. Keep the videos coming
I'm regularly amazed at how people are put off by food by what they think it looks like. There's a nice fun soup joint near me, and they make a wonderful mushroom bisque. But my best friend won't touch it because of its color. I mean, it's mushrooms! What do you expect it to look like??
One of the reasons our bread is sweet is because sugar is a cheap food for the yeast. If you go to a Walmart or other supermarket, you can buy French or Italian breads that aren't sweet tasting.
Waffle House would be a great place for you to try grits. Or Cracker Barrel for biscuits and gravy.
How do you like your grits, regular, creamy, or al dente?
The reason sugar is in the bread is as a preservative. Anything that is preserved is going to have an increased amount of sugar or salt. The reason the French and Italian breads don't have sugar is because they are baked daily. Bread without preservatives will only last three or four days. You used to be able to buy day old bread at a discount because it was already losing its quality after a day.
@@Rockhound6165great reference 😂
@@Rockhound6165 Love the movie, lol. And I'll take mine slightly al dente. Gives 'em a little more texture.
@@vintagethrifter2114 How is sugar a preservative? It's literally what mold wants to eat!!
Love you guys! Enjoy watching your channel. Keep it up ❤
Sweet tea...you have to perfect it. How long to steep it, you don't want it too weak or too strong. You have to add the sugar while the water is still hot so that it will desolve properly
hot pockets come in many different varieties- ham and cheese, cheese steak, chicken broccoli, breakfast varieties also.
Recently went to my nephews house for breakfast and he made biscuits and gravy with deer sausage in the gravy. Oooh so delicious.
Deer meat is too sweet. I will stick to pork.
@@insideoutsideupsidedown2218 I think pork is sweeter than deer but maybe that’s just me.
Take candy corn and salted peanuts together. It tastes like a payday candy bar. Yummy
As someone who has lived my entire life in the Chicagoland area I say this, deep dish pizza originated from Chicago, but it's not the style most Chicagoans eat on a regular basis. Yes Deep dish is very good, but it's saved for special occasions, when your boss orders pizza for the office at lunchtime and with friends and family from out of town who ask for deep dish. I don't think I tried deep dish until I was in my teens or even in my early 20s. A Chicago style pizza has a thin, crispy, sturdy crust, capable of holding up the toppings, unlike NY style pizza. It's also cut into squares and not slices. This style is probably best characterized as Tavern style, and Italian sausage is probably one of the most popular pizza toppings for it.
Amen. Thinner the crust, the better so it crunches when you bite it. I used to tease my wife that we feed deep dish to the tourists, I could eat thin crust every week, just about do😂
Before I got diabetes my wife made biscuits and gravy every Sunday. She made them from those ubiquitous "biscuits in a can", the kind you wack on the edge of your kitchen counter, separate and bake. Then, from a packet of mix, she would make the gravy, but using the skillet she first made Josh my Dean sausage in, to absorb the grease into the mixture. After the package d x was done, sh would add the sausage back in. We usually got the regular flavo, but as a treat she would get a he Sage flavor, or once every few months, to trade off, maple flavored. So good.❤
I still don't understand why everyone takes the sausage out of the pan to make gravy. My (late) husband never did and it was always soooo delicious. You just cook the sausage, breaking it up as you go then once it's all browned, add flour and mix it up so it coats the sausage. Stir in milk and keep stirring to thicken and keep it from sticking. He always used the hot sausage. I miss his sausage gravy so much now.
@@BlueTheJLU
That’s the same way I make my gravy too. To make it a little richer I use heavy cream and milk
@@Daddymack1881 Yes!! We try to use half and half when we have it, but since I don't buy it often we rarely have it in the fridge ready to go when the urge strikes. ;)
@@digitalsoldier2795 It is, for sure, and seems to add a touch more flavor as well as the sausage kind of simmers into the gravy mixture as it's thickening. It is sooo good that way.
Grits when done right are amazing
I live in the southern part of the US and I always ask for 1/2 and 1/2 sweet tea. That’s 1/2 sweet and 1/2 unsweetened tea. Yum, perfect. When I make grits I use quick grits and add butter, salt, pepper, garlic and Velveeta cheese. Sausage gravy and biscuits is a meal!
Biscuits and gravy are an art form. I'm from Texas and my Grandmother taught me how to make them. Have to have either crumbled sausage or bacon grease in the roux if you prefer a smooth gravy (the one I grew up on, sausage was served on the side). Another tip if you love flavor and don't care about calories is using 1/2 and 1/2 instead of milk. Homemade biscuits are greatly preferred.
When you get free refills of your drinks, there is no need to worry about too much ice.
I love Arnold Palmers made with ½ lemonade and ½ UNsweetened tea. And I agree candy corn is gross with one exception--Cracker Barrel candy corn. It's still just as sweet, but it has a vanilla taste whereas regular candy corn just tastes like sugar. Miss Atlanta, when are you going to get back to cooking? We're all anxious to see your next state food, love.
When we came from Arkansas to New Zealand and Australia I nailed the Marmite. I slathered it on toast. Went great with beer. Loved it!
atlanta was pretty much spot on when she said waffle for the poptart flavor. its actually EGGO WAFFLE maple and brown sugar. so crazy to see that EGGO and POPTART did a collaboration. its like the two biggest toaster breakfast items coming together.
That blooming onion from Outback is the bomb.
Sooooo delicious... sooooo bad for you... Ugh
You had Terry Black's, Mr. H and friends from England had some. Both had the same conclusion. AWESOME
So many foods I've never tried before but so keen too! I actually tried chicken and waffles for the first time in Taupo and loved it when I thought I wouldn't haha
Blooming onion is awsome the dipping sauce has a touch of spice to it
A note on grits... My stepdad is from the south, Alabama, over a Christmas in 1995 I was layed up in a cast and we lost power for 5 days, my stepdad made Grits. I had never tried them and when I tasted them with just butter, I added brown sugar, my stepdad nearly blew his top... To me they tasted a lot like an old hot breakfast cereal called Cream of Wheat, so I put the brown sugar in thinking they were supposed to be a sweetened breakfast cereal.
I love cream of wheat ❤
As the French say, each to his taste. Eat how you like to!
North Florida is very much the south. Florida doesn’t start really getting Yankeefied until you get south of Gainesville.
@@skunk1421my family is from citrus county. Saying Florida isn’t south is fighting words. Even as far south as parts of the Keyes rural areas of the south are 100% southern.
I still eat Cream of Wheat
Taste is truly a personal experience! Many on his list would not make it on mine. What joy that you were able to taste some of them! Are there foods in New Zealand that we don't have? As usual, thank you for sharing your tastebuds with us!😊
This is one family I would love to hang out at their house for a week if I ever went to New Zealand. They seem so fun and chill to just be around.
Best way to eat grits… (yes, I’m southern! lol)
Make them according to the package and put them in a bowl to refrigerate overnight. In the morning, dump the bowl and you will be able to slice them into wedges/slices. Heat a skillet with some butter and fry each slice on each side until golden brown. Then plate and sprinkle confectioners sugar (powdered sugar) on each side and viola 😊❤ (or you can use syrup..but I prefer the powdered sugar) 👍🏼
I do like candy corn but I prefer the autumn ones as they have parts that are chocolate flavored.
The pie flavored ones were a pass
When they were talking about carnival food, Funnel Cakes were missing. You can make them at home, I used to make them for my kids and grandkids when they were young. I made them with thick pancake batter. You have to deep fry them, just until they are golden brown on both sides,put them on a paper plate or paper towel to soak up the excess shortening. Then put either powdered sugar or the fruit filling. You could even use your favorite jams or jelly. Eat them while they’re warm, they are delicious.
I haven't had a funnel cake in probably 20 years! Yumm!
I sure wish I could buy footlong corndogs somewhere. They seem about impossible to get other than at a carnival/fair!
@@jovetj In Northern Colorado you can find foot long corn dogs!
@@nancyaylward1176 I know I'm just in the next state over, but that's still not very convenient.
@@jovetj I hear ya. So close yet so far away! 😦
Love candy corn and Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies are amazing. Also a fan of biscuits and gravy ! Never been big on Twinkies though.
I LOVE candy corn, especially when it comes out in the fall - some of them are chocolate flavored and darker orange. 😋
Sweet potato casserole with brown sugar, I like it. No marshmallow yuck. I love pizza in almost any form.
I am a mintaholic. Love mint flavored stuff. McDonalds has a Shamrock shake right now for St Patrick's Day. As far as candy corn, it's a hit and miss. Some people mix peanuts with them.
Mint and chocolate are made for each other like chocolate and peanut butter or lemon and raspberry!
@@jovetj I love mint and chocolate, but orange and chocolate (preferably dark chocolate) is divine! I make a chocolate pound cake with orange in it that is out of this world.
@@loubausone4093 I'm sure I'd love that!
Blooming onions are really good. No grits ugh! Quaker strawberries and cream oatmeal, and cream of wheat with sugar.
The blooming onion at Outback is fantastic! Give it a go
Love Mint Oreo's, Strawberry Twizzlers, Candy Corn, I LOVE A&W Root Beer (Best for root beer floats) and tried others and don't like. Bloomin' Onions are YUM! I LOVE onion rings and liver and onions (most will go EWWWW), but other don't do much with onions unless in something. YUCK to grits (and yes, I've tried, don't like)!!! LOVE ME SOME RANCH!! No, it's KETCHUP! Tomato sauce is COMPLETELY different here!! Tomato sauce is an ingredient used for cooking (yes, ketchup is as well). I REFUSE to get sweet tea anywhere. If I want my tea sweet, I have to do it myself! Can't go wrong with bacon in any form!!! Cracklins, yuck! My favorite Pop Tart, STRAWBERRY with the frosting! Biscuits and Gravy! YUM! They're delicious where I'm at here in Illinois and even in Montana and North Dakota! Try them ANYWHERE! It's NOT just a southern thing!!!
Spot on! I'm not into liver and onions personally, but.... I am really starting to get convinced that Americans are much better at naming things. "Tomato sauce" sounds as bland as it is.
It sure does! I'm trying to do better with using onions in recipes so guess I"m doing good there! LOL
Absolutely adore Atlanta’s hair color it’s beautiful on her ❤️❤️
Biscuits and gravy, sweet tea and grits only in the south and made by grandma are incredible. Try milos no calorie sweet tea less sugar
Candy corn isn't great by itself, but if you grab a handful of dry roasted peanuts and eat together, it's so good.
I've always liked candy corn, but it doesn't take much to satiate me. 6-10 pieces or so, and I'm done.
Gross
It really grinds my gears when people that arent from Florida insist that it is a "southern state" because their OPINION is solely based on the fact that they fly into a big city and then go straight to the beach and theme parks without exploring REAL florida. If you're in central florida (away from the beaches) then you will find some of the most southern folks that you could meet and our food is just as southern as Louisiana, alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas. Sorry for the rant but if someone that isnt from Florida tells you that it isnt Southern, don't believe them! We have southern food, people, and hospitality!
I agree. Everyone thinks of Miami, Daytona Beach, Spring break, etc. Go to the panhandle and the interior and Florida is more redneck/southern then Alabama and Mississippi combined.
if yall want try a good blooming onion go to an outdoor festival in a small town in the south mid summer when the onions are be brought of the fields fresh
Also country inn and suites has great biscuits and gravy.
You need to try fry sauce! It's a Utah creation and staple. When I lived in France, they didn't have peanut butter and thought it was weird. Nothing beats a PB&J, though.
Many countries think peanut butter is weird and gross. The US has sent it in food aid packages to famine ravaged areas and starving people wouldn't eat it.
Om goodness! Atlanta looks like a beautiful, mature young woman now. And, Denzel is certainly growing up to be a handsome young man. Kylo is still adorable. Nadine and Sam, you guys look exactly the same. I wouldn't have even noticed time went by if it wasn't for the kids. May you release your secret to forever youth, please?
If y'all come back, y'all have to go to Charleston, South Carolina, and get shrimp and grits, sweet tea, visit and gravy, collards, chicken bog, etc. Chicken bog is a dish started in the lower portion of South Carolina. Sweet rolls are made using pineapple juice instead of water.
Candy corn is good if you like honey.
We drink milk with sweat things. It has a nice balance. Especially with sweet chocolate items or peanut butter.
I never understood the hate for Candy Corn. If you like honey you should like candy corn. 🤷♂️ I also like Black licorice as well so.....lol
Exactly, candy corn is just congealed honey and food dye. I can understand the disdain other people have for licorice though even though I like licorice myself.
Maybe I'm crazy but honey is insanely good but candy corn is straight up revolting. To me candy corn isn't sweet, it's waxy in texture and taste, and there is no hint of honey in it.
I love black licorice, Good n Plenty is my favorite candy
@emanymton713 I thought candy corn as just corn syrup. I can take or leave it, never buy it
Tastes like wax
bloomin onion is the shiznit !!!
You damn right!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another Southern delicacy is liver mush (Neeces Liver Pudding). Fry it till it’s crispy and then cover it with mustard (French’s). And the best mayonnaise is Duke’s (another southern delicacy). Here in the Carolina’s we have a soft drink called SunDrop. Ssssooooo good. I have one every morning. It has to be ice cold but don’t put it over ice.
amwerican cheese is cheese with additives... ingredients:
1½ teaspoons (1.5 teaspoons) unflavored gelatin
1 tablespoon water
12 ounces (340.2 g) Colby cheese, shredded fine (about 3 cups)
1 tablespoon whole dry milk powder
1 teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon (0.13 teaspoon) cream of tartar
½ cup (122 ml) + 2 tablespoons whole milk
If you were in Texas, you were in the South. Granted East Texas is more in line than Austin.
It kind of depends on which part you are visiting. East Texas has a very "Southern" feel to it (that is where I grew up). North, South, West, and Central Texas also have a distinct feel and style to them, that is less "Southern", but still Texan.
@chazfu Oklahoma is southern as well. Especially Southern an Eastern portions. I would put North Texas in the south.
I have tried marmite before. A friend spread it very thin on a piece of toast. It was still awful. I like candy corn in small portions. Anything that sweet gets to be too much rather quickly. Great video as usual.
Vegemite is awful. People must be indoctrinated early on!
Peanut butter isn't anything to get excited about, but it's damn leagues more palatable than Vegemite... ugh!
I agree with you on the twizzlers. The mints thing only mint ice cream and mint girl scout cookies are the best
If you like deep-dish pizza, try making "personal pan" pizzas. Each person can pick their own toppings and make it in a small pan (maybe 6 inch?) and it's lovely for each person to have a chance to create their own. You can, of course, share bites of your special creation. My favorite is mild Italian sausage, black olives, onions, sliced mushrooms, and capers in the traditional red sauce with mozzarella. I like to crack open one fresh egg over the center of the pizza right before putting it in the oven. Once it's cooked, I like to throw some diced fresh/raw tomato on top and a sprinkle of grated excellent parmesan and/or shaved asiago cheese. YUM.
If this family had 1M on their channel I would award them the giant gold play button plaque they deserve it I love you 4!💯⭐️🤩❤️❤️❤️
Mix a bag of candy corn and a jar of peanuts….tastes like a Payday candy bar
