Link to original video - • Brits try Southern BBQ...
Aiden hating messy food and good Bbq don't go together.😂
I don’t think they have napkins or wet wipes in the UK
They are all picky eaters. Imagine not wanting to try clam chowder. It's so good.
yeah if you want to really enjoy good bbq, you gotta get over the messiness quick and just go with the messy flow
Everyone is allowed exceptions when it comes to BBQ.
@@LancerX916I love it, but New England style. I also love crab bisque, or lobster bisque.
The South may shock many Brits with the flavorful food and talkative friendly people. Sensory overload at its finest
sometimes sophie reminds me of a person who's lived on one of those remote islands that has never interacted with anyone from modern society
When it comes to good BBQ, you can't be concerned about mess.
The messier it is the better it tastes lol
People get this confused a lot but grilling and BBQ are two separate cooking methods. I believe you are familiar with grilling over a fire things like steaks and burgers. We grill meat at home a lot that way. American BBQ is a longer slow cook method. Meat is slowly cooked with heat and smoke for at least a good 12 hours if not more.
Came here looking for this comment when she said that I just did a face palm 🤦🏻♀️. And to clarify with the British call a grill we call a broiler. The terminologies all crazy screwed around.
its the fault of the US for calling an outdoor grill a bbq. real bbq is made with a smoker and indirect heat. which is the opposite of "A bbq" which is basically just a grill.
I would be fascinated to know what foods Sophie actually likes. So far, it seems she has never tasted anything in these videos, or only likes beans on toast.😂
I think she's afraid if she tries it she might like it!
Oh my gosh beans on toast . Slow
cooked seasoned beans is a world of difference from canned beans on toasted bread .
I don't understand Brits love for mashed peas ,either. They have some good food but it seems as if their cousin consists of food with no flavor
From what I can glean, seems Sophie may be a vegetarian.
@@brucegreenberg7573she's said she eats chicken
You know what they say, "adventurous in food, adventurous in ... err ... other ways."
Picky eaters who haven't even tried what they supposedly "don't like" is probably not going to even try watching a TV show in a different genre.
There are several types of BBQ in the US. You have 2 types of Carolina BBQ, then you have southern, Memphis, Kansas City, Texas and then little pockets of different styles all across the US. It’s all delicious usually.
Yes but none of them are throwing a steak on the grill that’s grilling not barbecue.
I have a morbid fascination of observing Sophie's looks of disgust at food she's never tried lmao
Does Sophie eat anything? I feel like every time you guys ask if she's had something, it's a no.
Sophie and Aidan are very sheltered lol im surprised they arent siblings
I swear they only have beans and toast in the UK lmao
Okra is used a lot in Cajun food, especially in foods like gumbo. Fried okra is very popular in the South.
It has a slimy texture to it but does it lose that texture when you fry it?
@@manny7662 for the most part, yes, it does. Southern fried okra is just like you saw in the video. It's crunchy on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside.
@billyboycinci Creole/African
And it originated in Okrahoma.
@@Scruffyman81 ba-da-boom!!
The lack of food experience that Soph has blows me away as an American.
Agreed
Isnt she vegetarian or something?
Have you ever been to the UK? Their food is a bit limited let's say. Certainly, you can find amazing food in the UK, but the average meal is goingto be spotted dick or beans on toast etc. Also, you just can't find stuff like this in the UK (or at least it's very rare, there are some actual Texas style BBQ joints in the UK now doing pretty good BBQ etc)
@@LordLOC out of curiosity, why would an american visit london? the only appeal people from both britain and the US tell me is its interesting because they are one of the few remaining nations that still has a monarchy. Kinda like walking into medieval history exhibit. But countries like japan have things like very modern attractions/developments AND historical sites.
@@nullakjg767 Why wouldn't an American visit London? First of all, it's a historic city, hundreds of years old. Plenty of cool things to see if you are into the tourist-y stuff. Curious, would you say the same about visiting Paris? Madrid? And I've been to Japan several times, and while I certainly enjoy going to Japan more (I'm a foodie, not much else to explain, other than I'm also a huge gamer even at my advanced age of 48 and Japan is a gaming haven lol) there are plenty of cities/countries around the globe that are an incredible visit. Oh, and I could care less about the monarchy/royals. At all.
Oh Sophie, you poor woman! There is so much more to taste than popcorn chicken!
Cheers! Very cool that you're making plans to smash some southern food.
I like you guys, but I'm literally watching this for Noah.... again. He's so hilarious in his two Jolly appearances.
Brisket was first made popular by the Mexican Vaqueros ,basically cowboys.
The rancher would give the Vaqueros the brisket because it wasnt a favored cut of beef and it could feed a lot of people.
They learned real quick that putting in a pit with coals and burying it then letting it slow cook 10 to 20 hours made it tender.
Thats why Texans specializes in brisket. In Texas we dont put sauce on brisket it can be considered an insult to the pit master although it is common for people to put sauce on brisket these days.
The standard way to serve brisket in Texas is to make a sandwich using two pieces of plain white bread with brisket,onions and thin sliced dill pickles....and yes a little sauce if it's from the flat of the brisket which is a little drier than the point which is has a lot more fat.
They are described as dry or wet when they ask you which you prefer. The wet otherwise known as the point is the best although a combo of wet and dry is popular.
I consider sauce on brisket an insult to the animal who gave its life.
@@russellgtyler8288
No worries,the cow gave it's life for a bunch of different cuts.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤
noah didnt get burned by the meat umbrella because hes a chef. i worked on the line and as a dishwasher. i developed some very thick callouses after a couple months and could grab things that i once thought too hot to handle. in the okra bit, he was using a vinegar pepper sauce. once its used up, you can refill it with vinegar and the peppers will make it peppery
Huh, didn't think about that with the wings thing but makes total sense. I'd totally burn my fingers trying that, but plan to give it a shot cause that's an awesome trick.
Yeah feel that brah. I was an oven guy at a traditional Italian American pizza place, trying to make the pies like the home country rather than greasy American ones, for a long while and I would have to warn the new guys to not think something was ok to pick up just because I picked it up. I then demonstrated by picking up a scolding hot metal pan that had been sitting on top of the oven for half the day. They just brushed it with their hand real quick to feel the temperature to see if I wasn’t BSing them and they both yelped back asking what was wrong with me and if I didn’t feel pain 😂. Anyway god bless and good luck out there.
@@archeverything Been to Italy, wasn't a fan of Italian pizza. My dad lived in Italy for 10 years prior to me being born. Pasta, was way better than anything I've had in the US, unless following an Italian recipe completely. Yes Italians created pizza, but their pasta, imo, is the best.
@@WolfLove89 I was eating pizza genuinely every single day, so it was nice to have something a bit simpler where I knew every single fresh ingredient going into the pizza; the thin crust being something I appreciated as well. The AC was broken at the place too so it was on average 105 degrees or more in there so I think some really greasy American style pizza would’ve destroyed me. I’m kind of indifferent on which one tastes better as I like both Italian and American style pizza, but if you prefer one to each their own.
@@archeverything Makes sense. Growing up in West Africa, I got tired of thin crust pizza, which is probably why I'm not a fan anymore. You sound like thin crust is for you. To each their own. Just never seen a thick crust Italian pizza. Deep dish is a hit or miss but thick crust 🤤
Southern BBQ is definitely not grilling, it is slow smoked meats. Sure there are sides served with it but the meat is the centerpiece. Grilling is for hamburgers, hot dogs and other quick cooked items on a grill.
Brighton has a new southern bar b q opened, they go to Texas to learn
You three should go to a Steakhouse and let her try a good steak and other foods she hasn't had or doesn't want to try. 😂
does sophie ever eat good food? lol
Not eating something because u don't like getting your hands messy ...you're missing out on some delicious food. I don't get saying u don't like something u never tried🤷🏾♂
Facts they're customed what and how they eat
Georgia is good choice for November trip, average temps for Savannah in Nov. are 70/49 (high/low) with only 4 rainy days. Basically July in Manchester with less rain, 68/59 and 9 rainy days.
The good thing is there's good bbq everywhere in the states though not just in the south.
Thank you...the states is more than just the south i.wish they start showing more vids from other regions of the country besides NY or Cali
BBQ in the Southeast (Virginia along the Atlantic and Gulf Coast east of Texas and excluding south Florda) emphasizes pork vs Texas BBQ that emphasizes beef although pretty much the same things are available in both places.
One of my favorite clips of the Brits.. because I love Noah.. he's hillarious.
November is a great time to visit the South. No worries if you don't share where you're going beforehand, but if you do share a state, I guarantee people will be happy to point out good places to you and help out if you have any issues or questions while here.
Hi G, Sophie, and Aiden.
I love southern BBQ. There is nothing in the world to compare it to.
My favorite is the St. Louis ribs slathered in the hottest homemade BBQ sauce.
For G the portions are huge in the South, so people don't go home hungry. In fact, many patrons take part of their meal home for a late night snack, or lunch the next day.
Also, pies are a southern specialty and tradition, so each customer receives a big slice.
The meat the hosts tried was probably part of a sample platter that the owner offered. Sometimes, these are on the menu, and sometimes they are not.
Regarding Okra, it is a thin vegetable that when cut reminds me of small jalapenos, but with a bland taste.
For Aidan, Americans love to eat finger foods. BBQ is a huge comfort food, so the tables usually have a paper towel roll, or wet wipes to use. No one is embarrassed when they eat.
I am glad ya'll enjoyed it. ❤
If you're spending money on airfare, lodging, and rental cars to explore America and then refuse to eat something in America because it's messy? Bless your heart.
And please don't take the "bless your heart" as anything but an insult.... considering it was spoken by a southerner.
Okra: "What's it similar to?" - God... nothing... I hope. It almost resembles a fat, ridged, green bean on the vine. Okra is used pretty exclusively in Southern cooking in the US, especially in stews like gumbo, as it's used as a thickener. Fried, it's fine. It tastes like most fried veggies, lots of batter with a hit of "veggie" from the inside. In stews... it's slimy. Slimy is the word I'd go for. The slime okra gives off when cooking is what thickens the stew.
Another fun fact is that there are so many different types of BBQ. You have Texas, Memphis, St. Louis, Carolina. All are different based on the sauce and some areas are more beef than pork. I love all of them.
Aiden the type of dude that eats pizza with a knife and fork.
If you make it to Philadelphia, head to Reading Terminal Market. It has the best food variety - all individual vendors. From Amish bakeries, Dutch breakfast, cheesesteaks and pulled pork, to Indian fare, and a farm market. Then, walk down to my work - The Constitution Center. Stop in the store and say hello.
Couple things y’all, I’m from the south. There’s a BIG difference between BBQ here. There’s different regional styles. Carolina, Texas, Memphis and Kansas City. They’re all different. My personal favorite is Carolina
Grilling--high heat, barbecue--low heat, cooked slowly. Totally different results. Fried okra, delicious!
There r many many great bbq places in Georgia lol yes as an American I also can’t imagine how Soph hasn’t experienced any good food in her life 😅
The drumstick of the wing is the upper wing and the flat is the lower wing.
Those guys always act like everything is the greatest food they’ve ever eaten.
Dont go to Georgia, come to Texas for some real BBQ
Aiden your not eating BBQ right if you are not licking your fingers afterwards. Seriously BBQ is meant to be served neat but than manually destroyed by hand.. That's why when you go to a barbecue restaurant in the states said normally give you wet naps with your napkins..
Always fun reactions w/these guys. Thanks!
Aiden don't like his little fingers getting messy 😂😂😂😂
Ya`ll should bring Sophie with.
The funny thing is I feel like clam chowder would be something Aiden would really enjoy. 😂
Go to Charleston South Carolina, too. Virginia, North Carolina and the outer banks, as well as south western NC beside the Appalachian mountains there--Asheville, Highlands are nice towns, but many more there.
In my humble opinion, The best Southern cooking is from the home of someone From the South, who knows how to cook! Especially around a eating holiday/event like a family reunion, Easter, Thanksgiving or Christmas.😊
Southern barbecue is with wood for a Smokey taste grilling is with propane gas doesn’t really and flavor just texture more for convenience
You can try some of the BBQ there in Bristol in the U.K. at the Spitfire Grill Mr. H & Friends has a video of it on his channel. Enjoy and happy eating 🎉
For Buffalo wings, I only like flats. When I go to my favorite pub for wings, I ask for only flats.
Southern BBQ is smoked meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, sausage) that has either a rub or sauce on it. BBQ sauces vary by state and region some places using either ketchup, mayo, mustard or vinegar based sauces and some places using only a spice rub before cooking. But there is overlap so none of these would be exclusive to any area. My homemade BBQ sauce uses ketchup but I also add vinegar and mustard to it.
They have to remember that they made those huge sampler plates for the video. When you go to the restaurant, you can get whatever you want and as much.
I cant think of a single think thats like okra.
Okra is Okra,your best bet is to look it up on the internet.
It really doesnt look all that good by itself but it's great when it's coated and deep fried,like most everything.
The other common use for okra is in Gumbo.
What in the world does Sophie eat?? 😂
Lawrence rarely disappoints. Nice and informative video. Thanks you two for all the content you put out. I always enjoy the dynamic of your realistic relationship.
Lawrence isn't in this video. Did they chat about him and I missed it hun? lol
What?
wrong brit and channel buddy lol....
What are you talking about?
Come to Georgia! We welcome you!
How adorable ❤😊!
If Aiden and Daz do decide to do the correct thing and come to Louisiana to hit up the LSU/Texas A&M game on Nov. 25th, it would be easy to eat at some great BBQ joints in New Orleans, but y'all would also only be 5 hours by car to Houston to get some Texas BBQ. Plus, Nov 23rd is Thanksgiving, so that would also be a great experience.
Yeah, but visiting Louisiana and not gorging on Cajun-Creole food is a crime against nature. Barbecue is everywhere across the south. Good jambalaya, red beans & rice w/ andouille, seafood gumbo, crawfish etoufee, beignets & coffee? Those are hard to find!
@@matthill5426 Oh I know, I live in New Orleans, I was just going w/ the BBQ theme lol. Louisiana food is the best. I had a fried shrimp po-boy today lol.
If you hate messy food, you'll want to avoid good BBQ. Around here the good restaurants don't serve you with napkins, they give you hand towels.
Okra can be very slimy, especially if you boil it by itself. If you boil it with tomatoes, the acid from the tomatoes cuts some of the sliminess and is a good pairing of flavors. It is best battered and fried, pickled, or cooked in a gumbo.
Steak is cooked with very high heat three or four minutes per side, Brisket is so tough that you cook it slow at low temp for hours and hours, or it will be like eating the sole of a shoe
Defiantly come to Georgia, if for anything to try some bbq in savannah as you see here. I recommend depends on the time of year go to this bar called " Suck Bang Blow" in Myrtle beach South Carolina. Plenty bars around that to visit and good restaurants.
Yall finna have a good time
Southern food never disappoints. I knew that they were going to like every dish that was put in front of them....
Fried okra is one of my favorite foods. Okra itself is a soft vegetable, some don't like the texture because it's kind of slimy inside with these soft pods within (you eat the entire thing.) But when fried, it's crunchy, a bit salty and just delicious. Some also eat pickled okra and okra is often in certain Cajun dishes as well.
okra is lady fingers a African vegetable actually very strong use in the south and cajon foods. a bit slimy its great as a soup or stew thickener like in gumbo.
Dear Sophie & Aiden, what did you guys eat? Air?
Yall have to try Pecan Pie when you come. So good.
Princess Aiden and his dainty fingers.
I remember doing that meat umbrella as a child, and it did burn at first
This video made me hungry! 😋
If you do come to Georgia please visit places outside of Atlanta and Savannah as well . There are some beautiful mountain towns and waterfalls. Cloudland Canyons is gorgeous too and you don’t even have to hike it. There’s a parking at the top lol. Also visit Ruby Falls which is a waterfall inside of a cave system and Rock City which supposedly you can see multiple states from the top. Tybee Island is one of my favorite spots and it’s only 16 miles from Savannah
I grow several varieties of okra in my garden every year. Love it. It’s best raw imo., or added to dishes towards the end of cooking. If it’s not cooked right (overcooked), it can be quite slimy 😬
See what I mean yall? If you've never eaten raw Okra off the plant you are surely missing out.
@@oldcodger4371 Amen, Codger!
Southern bbq is different depending on what state you’re in. In Texas it’s more brisket. In Tennessee it’s more ribs and in North Carolina where I live bbq is synonymous with pulled pork
Pucketts has the best bbq and all the sides. I believe there are 6 locations in Tenn. and downtown Nashville is a good place if you travel there. Make sure you order everything and have a little of everything.
Please come to Memphis!
You can used okra in gumbo also.
Aiden so hay. What man cries about messy food
There is a Kansas City style barbecue restaurant in London called Prairie fire barbecue.
Ocra is slimey on the inside and crunchy on the outside , some people especially in the caribban put ocra in their rice , soup and gravy , i've never had it fried though because its a vegetable .
In the south we fry all the vegetables! Okra, green tomatoes, pickles, mushrooms, you name it, we fry it! 🤣
Okra is a type of fruit. It looks like a pepper but it’s different. Mainly found in a lot of African dishes. I’ll eat okra in any style
My hubby and I live in GA. He is from Chester, England. If you want any tips on great food places just let me know! There is a large UK community in GA. We have English and Welsh neighbors!
fried okra is heaven‼️
Grilling and barbecue or two different things. Grilling is hot and fast and barbecue is low and slow. You use high heat for grilling and low heat for barbecue.
HMM. As a Southern Alabama boy raised on Okra, the best way I can think of to describe Okra is it taste like Okra. Sorry I just don't know of any other vegetable to compare it to. When you try it you will understand.
flats all my life. didn't like drumettes for the longest time, but I grew to like 'em.
bleu cheese dressing is great.
always been a finicky clean eater, but I make exceptions for this finger food like ribs or wings, or corn, anything on a bone or cob, i've come to terms with having to wash my hands and face thoroughly afterwards.
I have lived in the South my whole life and have had all these foods but not going to lie… have to go to this place
I honestly don't think the gal on the left has ever been out of her house. She doesn't know the difference between a drum stick and a wing? Ya know there's a whole bird, with different cuts on it. There's a breast a leg (drum stick) thighs, wings.
Ya, I think most Brits feel that way about wings. Growing up in the States you get started on Hispanic or yet Mexican food and by the time you do eat hot wings there isn't a big difference except maybe the vinegar.
You should check out their other channel (koreanenglishman).
Okra is big in Southern and Cajun cooking, a good way to have it is either fried or in gumbo. I'm going to England in October and lets just say I am not as excited about the food as y'all are for eating U.S. food. I'm going to try everything, except blood sausage, that's a hard no.
sophies diet is adorable
Slava Ukraini! This video had a nice cherry on top. I teared up a little when I learned about the connection. Chefs doing fucking awesome things makes me happy. Food and clean water are universal RIGHTS. Especially when there is SO much excess here.
Sophie what do you eat? Like seriously!!
Normally when you order, you get 1 to 3 types of meat not ALL of them lol Same goes for the sides. They did that for the video.
Brisket is not a steak. It is cooked in a smoker for 12-16 hours and the only pink you see is from the smoke ring on the outside.
Y'all may know brisket better as the cut used to make corned beef or pastrami. It comes in either the point or flat cut. The point is fattier (if memory serves).
Huh? Normally when you order you get the meat you ask for. For videos like this the owner is just giving them a variety platter so they can try everything for the video.
@TheDeadStretch yup, I get the 2 or 3 meat platter. WISH there was an all meat platter lol
G said she couldn't get all that meat because it's too much. So I was just saying they did aaaaaaalll the stuff for the video so they could try more. They pay for it but it's not an option for us normals lol.
40+ years ago in Hampton Roads area Carlos Murphy's was the place to go to get ribs. The waitresses would put an apron sized bib on you, set a mini trash can on the table in front of you and wipe your hands and your face clean when you were done. I wonder if they still do that?
I think Aiden is gonna need a Bills game and some wings
In the Savannah 😂
Messy fingers and a face are all part of real Barbecue. Always eat with your hands.
Come thru Birmingham, Alabama on your way to an Alabama football game and I’ll show y’all a few good spots for southern barbecue and comfort food. Pretty much anywhere you go in the Deep South you will have great food no matter what
Texas BarBQ. North Carolina style. Memphis style. Kansas City style. They are all different. I prefer Texas style.
Please do Charleston SC if you do a southern city….great atmosphere and even better food!
