soulfood often takes on regional taste. This is why some may say the Louisiana Soulfood is not soulfood. But it is without a doubt soulfood. Where I grew up in Miami and the Key's the soulfood has Caribbean influences added to it. But it's still considered SoulFood. if someone sends yall KoolAid dont forget to add sugar. those little packs are unsweetened.
@georgewardius3773 Yes, and mix two different flavors together, plus make Kool-Aid ice cubes to add to it so it doesn't dilute the flavor. The icing on the top is sliced lemons added to it.
Greetings from Alabama! Roll Tide! 🐘 I like how she let them know how to address her. A huge number of Southern elders are quick to set you straight about how to address them, not to say "Huh?", "What?", "Nah", "Yeah", etc., as you should say "Ma'am?/Sir", when they call your name, and "No/yes, Sir/Ma'am" instead of "nah/nope/naw/yeah/uh-huh", etc. Calling an elder by name is frowned upon, and you can be told off in a very loving way, and get your feelings hurt at the same time. 😄 In my family, (Southern African American woman) my brothers and I, plus our cousins,called our parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, some aunts and uncles and elder cousins by their first names and silly nicknames, but with permission around the house, and never in public or around other elders like family friends or relatives we didn't know very well. My friends assumed I was lying until they heard me call my mom by her first name for the first time. They all said they'd be in serious trouble if they did that. We're in our 50s and they're all still not allowed to use first names, but I understand that my family is quite different from all of theirs. We're very laid-back, but still must remember that no matter how old we get, we'd better never use first names or nicknames with elders when they don't want us to. I would never call an elder by their first name without permission, and those not in our family will still have Mr., Mrs. or Ms. before their name. I'm too old to get switches from trees or my mom's or dad's belt for my backside because of lack of respect. 😄 When I was growing up, it took a village to raise a child, and neighbors really did watch out for each child and set them straight if they got out of line, and then told their parents.👍🏽
The green tomatoes are naturally a bit tart/sour like a pickle because they’re not fully ripe. I don’t even like tomatoes except in pizza/pasta sauce or salsa, but I love fried green tomatoes. The closest flavor might be a fried pickle but there’s really nothing like them. A perfect example of how they took something that nobody wanted and made it into something incredible.
There are different kinds of soul food just like there's different kinds of BBQ, different kids of pizza, etc. Because there are SOOO many generational recipes out there, people can't say that this or that isn't technically 'SOUL' food. Kool-aid is a flavored powder. Usually unsweetened though you can get individual packets that are sweetened and can be added to a bottle of water and blended. For the unsweetened version, you add a cup of sugar (some go overboard, lol) and Kool-aid packet to 2 quarts of water in a pitcher and blend. They come in a variety of flavors...grape, strawberry, tropical punch, orange, lemonade, cherry and many many more. My favorites are Tropical Punch, Black Cherry, and Blue Raspberry. The Strawberry Lemonade and Strawberry Kiwi are great too.
Tina, is gumbo as good as it looks? :) Also, Kool-aid is powder? That's so strange! Our concentrate which Ollie refers to is a bottled liquid that we generally call Squash which comes in all sorts of flavours and brands and needs to be mixed with water.
@@AliKaiProject I've actually never had gumbo because there's certain seafood I don't like but I would say yes. I would be ok with one without shrimp because I do like spicy flavorful foods. My favorite shellfish is crab so I'd be all over it, lol. I would say Kool-Aid is close to Squash (I couldn't remember what it was called, lol). I'm sure now that you have a PO Box, you'll get to try Kool-Aid out. I'm certain that if you wanted to try gumbo, someone could send you a season packet as well. Americans love our conveniences so we have spice blends for any and everything you can imagine.
Actually thare are some foods that are quintessentially classified as "Soul Food." Things like Baked Macaroni and Cheese, Collard Greens, Cornbread Dressing...things of that nature. ❤ ✊🏾👍🏾
@@AliKaiProject Hi 👋🏼. I'm originally from New Orleans living in Texas, and gumbo is indescribably good 🤤! It's the best level of spicy (not hot), and usually when my family makes it in the summer or fall we add king crab legs in the pot (blue-shell crab meat is also added). Make friends with a Louisiana grandma and she'll be happy to make you some!
The video where they are eating the biscuit and gravy was before the Texas barbecue. I think they filmed it in State of Georgia. But not sure how long ago it was.
How are you guys love watching… Southern girl from the US here super easy to make fried green tomatoes. Just get green tomatoes sliced them dredge them in flour, egg wash and then flour again and you can add more spices and then fry them till They’re nice crispy golden brown, and you have it
Hey 🙋♂, we're great thank you! Thank you for watching and welcome to our channel! 😍Those tomatoes sound interesting, I've not had them before but I think Alice has had them pickled previously. They do sound good though! 😁
Soul Food Has A Very Large Range/Variety, So There's a Louisiana Style/Southern States Style & Northern Styles & Individual Styles From Generations To Generations, It's Food From/For The Soul👍
That description is too general. Soul food, as she says comes from slaves who took scraps and turned it into something soulful and delicious. Without other cultural influences
I think I know what pickled dish you’re talking about, Alice! My dad is from Slovakia and when we visit family we try to visit nearby countries and when we were in Romania we had green pickled tomatoes! It was a while ago but I thought they were really good!
one day to you please react to this wonderful little video it's based on a true story no one else seems to care I'm in Spokane Washington. this touches my heart I've been diagnosed with lupus so I've lost quite a bit of my hair
Fried Green Tomatoes are just lovely as you all would say! They are the best best best! I love fried green tomatoes!!! You have try them - easy to make actually! --- Grab those tomatoes when they green and firm!! Slice about 1/4 inch - just flour and fry!! Our grocery store actually sells green tomatoes! The dip is part of the secret I make a mayo, sour cream, bit of dill and hot sauce!! You can also just use a good ranch dip!!
Good evening y'all. I hope you're well! This is more what I would call soul food. I'm not saying that the Louisiana style food wasn't soul food it was just (Louisiana style) no doubt you will receive tons of Kool-Aid at this point. I don't know if you're able to get lemonade where you live but if you do try substituting the water with the lemonade. Just put the Kool-Aid packet right in the top of your lemonade container it doesn't matter what flavor it is and it will be delicious. Add sugar as desired 😁😀❤️🤘
@@AliKaiProject in a video I watched they said what Brits called lemonade is what we call Sprite soda. American lemonade is fresh squeezed lemons with sugar and water. No carbonation.
I recently went to a Raising Cane’s for the first time (didn’t realize we had them here) and while I only had a bit of food from what my fiancé ordered I knew I had to try the sweet tea. I remembered Jolly once described it as syrupy and I can now confirm that’s the case haha. It was a bit too much for me, a boring American who’s family has owned an electric kettle for as long as I can remember and does like a nice cuppa every morning. 😂
There's a soul food as in the cuisine and soul food as in the origins. There is overlap, and I wouldn't dare suggest that any soul food is inauthentic in any homegrown restaurant.
Sweet tea and sweetened iced tea are different. Sweet tea is MUCH sweeter. Someone is sending you Kool-Aid packets. Please read the directions on the package. I’ve seen too many Brits pour the entire packet in a glass of water with no sugar or ice. Of course they hated it ! Love your videos ❤!
The Jonestown cult committed murder-suicide by drinking cyanide laced Flavor-Aid. Kool aid is a much more well known brand though. So, to “drink the kool aid” means to mindlessly accept what you’re told to believe or do.
in the south most people are poor (the north controls the markets and industry) so things that are cheap and plentiful are vegetables, flour, sugar, pork, most of your southern/soul foods are based on those items. combine bacon grease, flour, milk, in a pan on low heat and you've got gravy add some left over sausage crumbled up and now you have sausage gravy. combine flour, bacon grease, lard, butter milk in a pan and mix together into balls put in a greased pan for 20 minutes and you've got biscuits. those 2 together and you've got a hot belly full of food that will last you most of the day. thats how southern food works. you need some syrup for something put 2 cups of water on the boil add 1 cup of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract and let simmer till the pancakes or french toast is ready
She reminds me of someone that either knew someone was coming with a video crew or saw it when they came through the door. Not to be too cynical about it. Maybe she is friendly all the time. Gumbo is a bit tricky but unless you burn the roux you can't go too wrong. I agree. Pecan pie that isn't too sweet is far better. Don't forget to give the dimensions of your PO Box.
Older people have no need to be fake and phony. More importantly, older Black people in the South, especially have no course to impress anyone. Think about all that they have been through growing up in an area that inflicted a Jim Crow era systematic sets of racist laws. Not to forget the whole Civil Rights Movement. Nobody is trying to impress a couple of UA-camrs when they've been in business for decades without their help. You're Welcome !
Soul food is Southern Food, including BBQ. It goes back to England and France and the Indian nations as well. The original Chicken Fricasee goes back to early modern France. Today, we have Fried Chicken - very,very similar. Cajun food (Louisiana) is Originally a mix of French and Indian receipts.
Correction, Southern food comes from Soul food and while yes obviously many of the original versions/inspirations for things may have a European or Native origin (because Slavery, duh) the SEASONING/FLAVORS and style/process of cooking are Black We only have to look to the reality of British food (as well as other European cuisines)TODAY to know that clearly once Black folk got a hold of it… it became something new
@@ladiuneeq9789Soul food is definitely southern food. All southern food has Black American influence because that’s where the majority of slaves went. You can’t name one southern food without black American influence. You’re definitely not black American or southern saying something like this .
@@zarahbelle3627This!! I can’t think of one, not one southern cuisine without heavy black American influence on it. They are all heavily influenced by black Americans-from the hot chicken, to the fried chicken, to the Mac and cheese, to the catfish, to the grits(native and black American), to the pies. This makes sense because majority of slaves were taken to the south. Black Americans own the south.
37 degrees is this a old jolly. 37 is in the winter its like 100 right now..I dont understand they have shirt sleeves...very odd FYI bless ur heart out of a southern lady means ur nit smart...I know I'm southern..jumbo is easy....just make it but u need some waffle dust....
The amount of different and amazing food you can find in the U.S. will blow your mind and taste bud's.
We can’t wait to try some!
That's southern hospitality, and good business.

Kool aid packets inbound to the PO Box 😂
🤣🤣🤣
@@AliKaiProject Check to see if those packs need to be sweetened! Some reactors don't know some packs don't have sugar.
I like to make mine with a little less water and a little more sugar than the packet calls for.
@georgewardius3773 Yes, and mix two different flavors together, plus make Kool-Aid ice cubes to add to it so it doesn't dilute the flavor. The icing on the top is sliced lemons added to it.
The biscuit show was when they were in Savannah, Georgia a little over a year ago.
There is a Southern expression when eating delicious Southern Style food which is... "Put some South in yo' mouth!"
Sounds like a motto to live by! ..in the right context. 😂
