An Italian Tries TRADITIONAL American Food | Trying American Food for the First Time
Happy 4th of July! In honor of Independence Day, I thought I would introduce Eva to some new American foods. This time, however, I won't be giving her ANY junk food; nothing but traditional, home-cooked grub today! The only problem is... I'm going to have to cook it.
America's reputation is in my hands! And I'm so, so sorry...

Happy 4th of July! What's YOUR favorite traditional American food Eva should try next?
Something she is going to hate of course.
Happy Independence Day….🥂😘🎶💃🏼🎉🥂
This one's regional, and you'll have to go near WV to get them.
The Pepperoni Roll.
They were invented by Italian immigrants who needed an inexpensive filling lunch when they went to work in the coal mines.
Original recipe comes from Country Club Bakery in Fairmont, WV. All others are variants.
How about Boston Cream Pie?
On Pasta Grammar history, America won. For now…
"There are no gentlemen when it comes to s'mores." - Mr.America
I mean he’s not wrong 😂😂😂
Before watching the video, I thought this quote was from a century-old famous philosopher
The look on her face when she tried her first smores…SHE LIKES IT!!!!
With her difficulty in saying the name “s’mores,” it would’ve been cool if he gave her just a tiny bit of history on the background of that name, at least telling her what “s’more” is short for. ;)
From Wikipedia:
_”S’more is a contraction of the phrase "some more". S'mores appeared in a cookbook in the early 1920s,[1][2] where it was called a "Graham Cracker Sandwich". The text indicates that the treat was already popular with both Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. In 1927, a recipe for "Some More" was published in Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts.[3][4]”_
P.S. When they showed a close-up of Eva making her s’more, it shows that they used cinnamon and sugar graham crackers. That’s blasphemy for s’mores! Lol. It should’ve been a regular graham cracker. The marshmallow and chocolate already has plenty of sugar in it, and cinnamon is not a part of a s’more! 😂🤦♀️
I really should stop reading spoilers in the comments lmao 🤦♂️
Wait I thought he said no junk food.
@@mkshffr4936 S’mores are a recipe, NOT junk food 😡
Yup, the fact that she said nothing and just went for another bite says everything. No words needed.
I’m southern, and that is some pretty biscuits and gravy.
Yeah, the only thing I would do different is make the gravy a little thicker.
Right? I thought it looked spot on.
I love the sweetness in Ava's eye when she looks at Harper... She appreciates all the effort that he went to. Those biscuits looked wonderful!!!
If Eva says, trying American food, “it's not bad”…….this is a great compliment ! 😀
I agree! The italian „Not bad“ means: „I‘m surprised, still a little bit scared, but it feels friendly and I can imagine to have more… a little bit…ah… just gimme more…. actually it’s delicious“
So right
It’s all a matter of context, we do it all the time in Italy when someone downplays their abilities or lowers your expectations and you end up positively surprised with the outcome, we use this “it’s not bad” as a way to say “I wasn’t expecting much but you did a good job”. Maybe we are not able to fully convey the same in English and it makes us look like we are not satisfied with anything 😅
Alessandro Mirto it's one of those cases where the difference is cultural. The negative words (in this case, 'bad') are perceived as more relevant than the positive. Especially when someone cooks something for you, people tend to use a more positive, encouraging language, even when the person cooking made a disaster. If you're not overly enthusiastic about a dish, the more neutral things to say are 'It's quite good', 'It's alright', or even 'It's good' - The intonation and facial expressions are key to convey what you mean by this. It's bizarre how intonation is so overlooked when teaching English in Italian schools, when it really does half of the job at times!
For who? Do you care about her opinion that much? Your life is not to interesting
"He didn't just go out and BUY freedom!"
I'm dying 😂😂🤣😂😂
You don't go out a buy freedom.....YOU FIGHT AND EARN IT......have a great 4th
I made the exact same comment! and then I saw yours… 👏
"I'd like three lbs. of freedom, coarse chili grind."
tbh I thought he was gonna make the lox :D:D:D but that takes several days :D
Buffalo wings created by Nathaniel American
"It tasted like freedom, it tastes like liberty ".....seriously I teared up. I did not expect that to happen lol. ❤🇺🇲😪😁
You cannot get a better compliment than that.
To Russians back in the 80s, they would say Levi's, hot dogs, Ford Mustang - these things are America to them. To hear Eva say s'mores "taste like freedom" choked me up. But then, I'm a softy. Grazie, Eva!
Harper has leveled up his cooking skill quite a bit.
Bagels are so ambitious! Bravo !
He will no longer be able to pull that, sort of, "I am a total loser in the kitchen" schpiel.
Harper was absolutely right, unroasted marshmallows do NOT have the magic of a roasted one!
Unless you make rice crispy squares and melt them
Yeah, marshmallows are definitely not meant to be eaten raw. Heated over the fire, cooked in sweet potato casserole, or in hot chocolate.
@@sharroon7574 Sweet potato casserole? Now I'm curious
@@igeloi not my comment but you can mix sweet potatoes ( mashed ) with pineapple and some other liquids ( I vaguely think pineapple juice or cream but I'm pulling a ways back in my memory) , place it in a casserole dish to bake and then broil mini marshmallows on the top for like 2minutes while you watch it very closely. My mom made it when we were kids and that recipe was in a huge book she got in the 60s. I loved it as a kid, I'm sure you can find a recipe online.
"Roast it gently." Just like Eva does for bad food. 😂😂
😂🤣😂 Punny😂🤣😂
I’m an U.S citizen living in Italy…..omg I miss all those dishes…and they looked very good too! 👍🏻🤩
Same here. American in the Netherlands.
Ava, when you bit into that s’more and then immediately bit into it again, it melted my heart as an American. Harper did an amazing job. You must be proud that he is learning cooking skills from you as he watches you. He always give you the credit. Nice channel guys.
👍👍
It's Eva by the way 😅
I love that Eva is showing him the proper way around the kitchen.
Harper, you silly goose. If you don't have a circular cutter, just use a drinking glass!
I loved the hearts idea. It got this face out of me, 🥺
Meat loaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy.
I kml with you on that.
I swear, I thought she’d hate the s’mores. Well done, Harper.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 A lot of Europeans hate Hershey’s chocolate because the way his recipe preserves the milk sours it slightly. I figured that would be the problem.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 I like Nutella. Hazelnuts and chocolate are a good combination.
@@MichaelTheophilus906 As I said, it isn’t the ingredients, it’s the Hershey’s process that sours the milk. It’s what made it possible to make an affordable, shelf-stable chocolate bar for the masses. It tastes like vomit to a lot of Europeans, not just Italians. Americans grew up with it and are used to the taste.
“George Washington didn’t just go out and buy freedom, he made it himself.” 😆
Need that quote on a shirt.
Omg when she said nothing and just dove in for that second bite of the s'more I thru my fist in the air and screamed YEAH!
Seriously?
MERICA!
Wonderful episodes. My grandmother cut her biscuits with the mouth of a drinking glass.
My Mom did too.
@@jeffmorse645 mine too...
Tin cup
My mom does that too. I swear if you tried to get her to use a cutter she might start hissing.
So glad for the last four words...
I would love to see her try soul food.
Chicken and waffles!
shrimp and grits, real Boston baked beans, a real lobster roll, real southern corn bread, seafood gumbo over rice, strawberry shortcake (with real biscuits... and Harper, you're already ready to make proper biscuits for this one!), fried green tomatoes (seasoned properly they don't need any Remoulade sauce which Eva would appreciate)... a lot of possibilities!
A good shrimp gumbo. Omg! I only had one that was to die for… believe it or not, at California Disney Louisiana restaurant. I still dream about it.
Best part:
“It tastes like freedom”.
Thank you for honoring our beloved country in this simple, mindful, tasty way on Independence Day!💫🇺🇸✨
@@joshrees3413, it's kinda simple. The only thing the British cook correctly is Pesce and chips. ;-)
@@joshrees3413, meh, I'm southern. Italy is perhaps the only country that has better food. I'm defending biscuits and gravy till the end. BTW biscuits are not a cookie here. Il biscotta non e un cookie. NO grazie
Smores: (Being devoured)
Harper: What does it taste like?
Eva: It tastes like freedom
Me: (tears in eyes) I agree
@@Werefox32 seriously?
@@joshrees3413
03:40 *That dish is essentially what is known as S.O.S. ($h¡t On a ShingIe)!*
It first came into existence during WWI (I’m not sure what he was talking about with the Revolutionary War), but the meal was popularized/made all the time during WWII in the military.
A little less dill, a little less capers, a couple of thinly sliced red onion rings, and a little quirt of lemon juice, and that's a bagel with lox, I tell you!
less capers, sliced red onions, sliced tomatoes, and everything bagels would have made it better in my opinion. still looked decent though.
Yes. Perfection.
You never put lemon juice on a lox on cream cheese....
Think about it.... Lemon juice on cream cheese....
@@efolinsky bruh.
@@mynamewhatis7254 I'm not your "bruh" this food is my culture. You don't put lemon juice on it. Both my bubbes are rolling over in their graves.
I’d like to see Eva try American cookout foods. Grilled hotdogs and hamburgers with all the fixins, potato salad, baked beans, macaroni salad, some kind of jello concoction, like Watergate salad, ambrosia salad, and watermelon for dessert. Those are my favorites in the summer.
Watching Eva's face when she was eating the s'mores was priceless! Her unabashed, child-like delight brought tears to my eyes. She is such a beautiful, gentle soul and you two are an amazing couple! ❤️
You gotta buy the right hot dogs like Angus and the right ground meat. A lot of garbage in the grocery stores. I got to a real butcher
Many of those things we also eat here in Italy! I would have to say the main difference is less mayo, but outdoor foods are very similar when it comes to summer and BBQ - just less crap on top of everything and we don't smother food with sauces.
Trust me on that, if you want to see an italian retch, propose him/her a macaroni salad.
This is white ppl barbecue not good cookout and definitely not southern barbecue either
Lemme tell ya. As a New Jersey native, those bagels looked goddamn exquisite. And im so glad you went with lox and schmear. Wonderful little taste of my neck of the woods.
I was on the verge of crying tears of joy when Eva actually loved the s’more!
@Bobb GrimleyI’m so irrationally happy she loves that too!
It got me too 😪 i think we all needed that right now. 🇺🇲❤
I know this is going to sound horribly sinical. I grew up in the midwest, but you people's over emotional reaction to a simple tasting video makes me worry about your mental well being. If you need someone to talk to there are helplines, plus your doctor would be more than willing to prescribe antidepressants or antianxiety medication. Lol.
@@johnkramer812 oh please, for me it was the same as watching a sentimental commercial on TV. Not a big deal. Im no snowflake, but im still not happy with what's happening in this country. I could tell you to relax as well.
@@BB.halo_heir Good for you. I have to question the idea of bringing up "what's going on in this country", though. Seems like something specific might be causing that underlying need to feel connected emotionally with others.
"There are no gentlemen when it comes to s'mores" is my new favorite expression. Deal with it, family! You don't know how to roast a marshmallow? Not my problem!
I like to say the husband and wife that cook together, stay together. Because you're too busy only arguing about ingredients instead of the rest! 🤣 My husband is my cooking partner! Mexicans fighting over the best recipes that we didn't have time to fight about anything else. 25 yrs later. Seems to have worked 🤣. Love you two!!
I used to think I was a picky food snob.
Then I started watching Ava.
we see you as children who need cook lesson and how to not die with ultra processed food. It's our nature. 😂
@@pamelahnidj5132 people from other countries need to take into account that those that moved to America had to use the ingredients that they had here in America. It's not until later with the advent of refrigeration that authentic ingredients was more accessible. Until then dishes took a flavor of their own.
Eva, the “proper” way to have bleu cheese dressing with Buffalo wings is to have some carrots or celery on the side, and you dip them in the dressing to cool your mouth.
@@pamelahnidj5132 welcome fellow celery hater!
An alternative dipping sauce for those who dislike blue cheese is buttermilk ranch dressing. Not as good as blue - far from it, really - but seems to appeal. Sorry, Pam. But there are those who can't hack a pungent (and flavourful) cheese.
@@gagamba9198 Yeah, I'm one of those. I always hated blue cheese. Strong cheese of any type really.
@@michaelnurge1652 SOFTY!
I'm from Buffalo and never ever ever !! Have Buffalo wings with ranch NO ....Only Blue cheese
There are no gentlemen when it comes to S’mores! That’s hilarious, I love your channel. Y’all are adorable, and I love learning about Italian cuisine with y’all.
I love how supportive Eva is of Harpers cooking when he isn't cooking Italian food 😹❤! Happy 4th!!
I can't stop smiling... Arper, I thought you represented American men very well! Also, you picked out a gem in Eva! Good Job. Love your channel!
It’s “Harper” lol 😂 it’s okay, you tried. Just thought I’d let you know. No hate here!!
Great to watch Harper handle the ingredients with such assurance! He’s learning from the best! What a great couple!
I came across your channel a week ago and have not stopped watching!!! I love you guys!!! Happy 4th to you both!!! Native American here, you should try fry bread!!! Indian tacos with some green Chile! I bet Eva will love that!!!
@Bobb Grimley I watched that episode and absolutely loved that she loved green Chile.
I really hope they try!
Hey from NYC. Bravo on that bagel.
Keep making your bagels, once you get them down, you won't buy them anymore. :D I agree with Eva on the buffalo sauce, I just don't care for it.
We actually do eat biscuits and gravy for dinner sometimes in the south...🙂
I, for one, will happily eat them ANY time of day
As a New Yorker I can say the bagel looked decent enough. I didn't eat it so I don't know exactly, but not bad. You can always try again.
Sadly a bagel can look good but it's when you bite into it that you can tell (or at least have it in hand)
@@SilvaDreams Thats true
I’m moving to Israel in less than a year and my fiancé has never had s’mores. I plan to force him to make a fire, just so I can force him to eat s’mores, hahaha. There’s a lot of American shops in Israel, so I think I can find all the ingredients.
Does he keep kosher? Not sure if they exist, but if you can find kosher without corn syrup those would be the best! There was an East coast brand that my uncle used to bring that I've never seen again.
Eva: I can eat this for dinner...
Harper: this is a breakfast
Eva: uuuuuuuh?!?!
MORTO! XD
I have to respectfully disagree as far a roasted marshmallows go. They should be beautifully charred on the outside and drippy and gooey on the inside. But as a huge fan of biscuits and gravy, I have to say that gravy looked PERFECT!
So did those biscuits.
As long as you roast slowly and persistently over low heat, you can get a perfectly gooey center without any nasty charcoal bits.
(I admit I am totally biased against setting marshmallows on fire. Not only do I hate tasting charcoal, my brother gave me a 2nd degree burn when he lit his marshmallow on fire, waved it around to put out the flames, and accidentally sent it flying onto my bare skin. Still have the scar.)
If it isn't black on the outside and slightly on fire.... you did it wrong.
Yes!
I wish she could have the whole outdoor camp fire experience when making smorse
Oh thank God. She liked everything. I was so afraid for you!! I was afraid for my future watching your videos if she hated the S'mores!!! YEAH!!! Great job Sir!
Baking isn’t easy! Nice work on the bagels!
"When Johnny Comes Marching Home" in the background is a filmmaking masterstroke.
Was one of our songs to practice in grade 5 in the sixties in the USA
Any time I hear it I feel the need to rob NY's Federal Reserve Bank
That is the "Civil war," not revolutionary war
I don’t like Hershey’s chocolate. But if there’s ever a time for it it’s in s’mores. Now I need to make some. You guys so obviously were in heaven when you ate those.
OK. Here's what you do.
You get Keebler fudge stripe cookies and use those instead, in place of the gramcracker and chocolate
It's all in 1 and not too much chocolate
@@brief402 I’m sure it’s good. But I would use the cookies AND add chocolate. “Too much chocolate” is a phrase I don’t understand.
@@rini6 "too much chocolate" is only used when there is so much added that when it melts it drips onto the floor. Making the chocolate useless.
At least that's the only way I understand it
@@brief402 Depends on how clean the floor is. 😜
Try an Italian alternative: Novi chocolate bars
This was a decent showing of American foods. Thanks for showing Eva. Maybe some frybread, cornbread, hatch green chile, or Jambalaya next.
Of course there is a lot more to show like Charleston red rice, Half-smokes, Chilli con carne/green chile stew, clam chowder(different types like Manhattan, New England, and Long Island), Brunswick stew, lobster rolls, crab cakes, buffalo wings, St. Louis Style bbq, Texas brisket, Boston baked beans, strombolis, navajo tacos, squash soup, pumpkin soup, roasted turkey, grits(sweet or savoury), buffalo meat(burgers, stew, etc), succotash, beef dip sandwich, johnny roast beef hero, pastrami on rye, philly cheesteak, nashville hot chicken, chopped cheese, fluffernutter, hot brown sandwich, jibarito, grilled cheese or melt with tomato soup, country fried steak, gumbo, jumbalaya, ettoufe, corndogs, chicken bog, Quelites, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, strawberry shortcake(with biscuit or spongecake), apple crisp, angel food cake or devil's food cake, banana foster, banana pudding, boston cream pie, baked Alaska, checkerboard cake, chocolate brownies(or blondies), peach cobbler, chocolate chip cookie, funnel cake, glorified rice, ambrosia, cookie salad, pancakes with maple syrup, Johnnycakes, poppovers, dutch baby pancakes, shoefly pie, key lime pie, chess pie, derby pie, fried pie, rice pudding, persimmon pudding, panocha, Sopaipilla, stack cake, tapioca pudding, whoopie pies, etc.
@@lolab6770 wholeheartedly agreed!
But half of that food is not even from your country.
@@biohita wrong!
@@greenmachine5600 seriously half of those foods are Spanish, Arab or simply from Latin America. Even the names are in Spanish haha
@@biohita because they are from the southwest or people who speak spanish in the US named or invented them like the jibarito from Chicago! Southwestern food is American and Hispanic and is similar to Mexican food. I've literally been there.
I also greatly appreciated Harper's cooking, he put all his effort and knowledge into it, he was fascinating in telling the recipes, and then the most interesting thing for me was to see how an American non-chef cooks. Eva is always better at tasting. Thank you so much guys, today's cultural exchange was superb, and now I have a crazy urge to roast marshmellows
Those biscuits and gravy looked pretty legit, Harper. Sometimes eating breakfast foods for dinner is great.
I’m with Eva, I don’t like “uncooked” marshmallows either.
home made marshmallows are much better
I have to admit, I got teary eyed when Ava said about the Smores "It tastes like freedom, liberty". Welcome to America sweet lady.
This is the first time I haven't thrown my computer with frustration over his bad cooking. Those biscuits looked pretty good ... and the bagels looked good for a first time, they're supposed to be chewy and stretchy so you're on the right track! Wings are easy to dry-out when frying, I imagine an Italian would prefer grilled wings, cant go wrong with those. Proud of you bud!
Judging by the amount of cooking videos on your channel, clearly an expert.
@@dedpoptart it was a joke why being rude?
Nice to finally see Eva give American food the look of love that you can always see on Harper's face when he tastes Italian food 🥰
The "it tastes like freedom" bit needs to be made into a short and go viral, pronto!
"It's not bad." That's high praise.
That look on her face when she looks at the s’mores after the first bite…she fell in love! She’s so precious! ❤️
Harper, when making sausage gravy first cook the sausage then deglaze the caramelized pan drippings with milk, add a butter/flour rue and crumbled sausage to thicken. Finally liberally add The all Critical black pepper and red pepper flakes. I will try it your way but I love sausage gravy my way. For a added bonus put a runny fried egg on top.
I like your way as well but I prefer eggs over medium still soft but not very runny
Yes always.
@@davidens8204 There's a reason there are different ways to cook an egg.
Some people hate hard-boiled eggs because they always eat them overcooked. Slightly jammy but not runny is acceptable as well. (Though not here in Chile. The only way here is fully cooked until the yolk turns crumbly. Some of our dishes even depend on this state of the yolk. Be grateful for your hard boiled eggs.)
@@nodezsh on the never ending subject that is eggs ... point taken .. it is the individual taste buds offer
You did great on the gravy & biscuits, happy to see a southern dish. Happy 4th of July to you guys from the East Tennessee mountains 🎉🇺🇸
Try black-eyed peas, mashed potatoes, turnip greens and cornbread !!! (Can’t wait)
I think she'd like cornbread.
Or Hoppin' John.
You gotta cook the greens with pork jowl, a little vinegar and cubed turnips, for the full effect. You CAN substitute apples for the turnips, given the fact that overcooked turnips may be too astringent. I, personally, carmalized my onions, add everything else, and add the turnips 30 minutes before killing the heat.
the first three things we all eat in Italy! Mashed potatoes are called purée -and we have every kind of green! Cornbread is also a relative of polenta - it depends if it is the sweet or savoury version,
@@mediterraneanworld
I’d like to see her take on the American version, though.
She loves the loks and s’mores!! Yessss. And honestly hats off for the bagel attempt Harper! They looked really good and they aren’t easy!!
Cajun food of course! Jambalaya, Gumbo and crawfish etouffee! She will love the spicyness of Cajun food!
I was so pissed that they skipped New Orleans on their food trip across America.
From Buffalo, NY home of the chicken wing. You did a great job on both the wing sauce and the blue cheese. Blue cheese dressing should be chunky, your consistency looks accurate. There's a longer story about the origin of the wing, started by someone else with a different recipe.
NOW the s'mores. In 2018 my siblings, their families, and I went to visit our cousins in Italy. On the last night in both Tuscany with a few cousins and their friends and in Abruzzi with the rest of the family who live there we brought the makings for s'mores for dessert. They were a BIG hit.
Great Video! My mouth watered when you made the wings. And I am from Buffalo. And the beagles my other favorite thing. But I must say not to big on smores, I don't have patience. :)
Those look like good choices for July 4th, and I say this is a Canadian. HOWEVER, I'm surprised Harper didn't attempt to replicate the Mac N Cheese recipe that Thomas Jefferson cooked and popularized himself!! ;)
Dang, that would have been good! Wish I had thought of that
I would LOVE to try some of Eva's food! Especially that pizza she made in the Dominos video. It really had my mouth watering
@yabghus pathetic
The bagels came out chewy as you mentioned because you boiled it in the honey water -- which is actually the traditional (and by extension, supremely un-American) way of doing it. This is also how bagels are done in my experience both in Montreal as well as in Tel Aviv, and both of those products are considerably more chewy and dense than the typical NYC bagel. As far as I know, in NYC, it is usually steamed prior to baking rather than boiled. The effect is that you still get the chewy exterior and a fluffier interior. Likewise, because the classical bagels are more dense and chewy, they are typically also not as thick of a ring shape and have a bigger "hole"... whatever the case, if you compare something like Zabar's in NYC to St. Viateur in Montreal, you'll see the distinct difference. What you made appears to be a traditional bagel in the size and shape of an American one.
We use lye water for bagels, that’s not something most people realize…
I too choked up when Ava said "it tastes like freedom... " and I'm Canadian. Envy how patriotic Americans are!! Harper, you're such a nice guy. So delighted to see you cook, i wanted to try everything you made. Great episode as usual.
You can tell Eva is from southern Italy- she like biscuits and gravy😍
I brought smores fixings with us the first time I took my Japanese wife camping in the USA. It blew her mind…she was all upset in the store because I was buying crap. However around a camp fire they are amazing.
Also made what we called hobo stew. Throw a large handful of meat onto two sheets of foil, add assorted chopped veggies, and some seasoning…ball the foil around it and let it bake in the camp cooler part fire coals until done.
Harper you missed the perfect opportunity for a strawberry (blueberry) short cake with the biscuits ...🍓🔵🥖🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Happy 4th
I considered it, but then my cousin spoiled the introduction by making it for her a couple weeks ago! She really loved it, though!
The best line ever on Pasta Grammar when Eva said, "It tastes like freedom, it tastes like liberty," was spot on!! Awesome video 👍🎇🎆
Eva has a tell when she likes a food item. It's that slight smirk and initially, no words. I was clapping with the Smores reveal. Classic!
I could watch an entire video of them just saying “s’mores” back and forth 😂
Holy shit, this channel has 2 cooks. You’re so cute together.
Lovely.
I became nostalgic when you spoke of Catania. I lived there three years.
This seems strange..... I’ve just made Mamma Rosa’s meatballs AGAIN!
I am honestly addicted to them.
Now, I want a s’mores!!
Great episode!
Grazie mille. Thank you.
Literally if she dont like those Biscuits and Gravy Call the Mob and let it be Guns blazin

Hey Eva and Harper, still looking forward to your weekly videos and always amazing!!! and ironically...
"It tastes like freedom!"
I LOVE THAT!!!
Your bagels look fantastic! Bagels generally feel chewy to me. I'm sure yours, being fresh made, were less chewy than what I find here in New York.
LOVE YOU GUYS!
Happy 4th of July!
XO
I mean, bagels are supposed to be pretty chewy, fresh or not; they're like that by design.
I laughed when she said “huh?” When he said biscuits and gravy was a breakfast dish.
Eva welcome to America 🇺🇸 Your look on your face when you eat your first S" more is so sweet! It tastes like Freedom ! God bless 💗
Respect Harper. I feel this episode, being a hillbilly, you have shown her good parts of our food culture.
Harper, you did excellent cooking today! I'm from Buffalo, NY, and you did good on the wings. We don't normally make our Bleu cheese dressing, we go to the store and buy Ken's chunky blue cheese dressing. But you did exceptionally well today on everything you cooked. Very impressive! Eva will just have to "get used" to the wings - I live in Texas now and have them at least once a week.
OMG that was such an incredible reaction to the smore lol. "It tastes like freedom, it tastes like liberty." AMEN.
I am shocked. She has finally tried some American food that she liked. This makes me happy.
Harper, you're courage to attempt making a bagel is commendable! Pro tip: Traditional NYers don't put capers on lox and bagels. Onion and tomato.
is it called lox because of its scandinavian roots? (in scandinavian languages salmon is called "lachs") 🤔
As a New Yorker I agree but I like the capers touch. It goes well too.

Great job, "Arpair"!!! You even made (MADE!) bagels!! Holy crap! That's amazing.
"The cherry on the cake" might be my new favorite malaphor, because it's one that sounds like it should be correct, but just barely isn't.
That's right! Cherries usually goes on top of ice cream, with whipped cream and sprinkles.
The Italian equivalent of "the icing on the cake" actually says "cherry". Eva may not have been aware of the English idiom, so she translated her own.
@@SimplyMe514 Aaaah, interesting
“Cherry on the cake” is a widely used English idiom - nothing malaphor about it just because it isn’t the most common American idiom.
Isn't that just a mixed metaphor: "icing on the cake" and "with a cherry on top"
I love that you didn't say what you were making. It made me watch to see how soon I could figure it out!!
Also...in our family, we schmear peanut butter on the graham cracker then the chocolate, then the perfectly roasted marshmallow. Eva might like it that way, too. :)
Delightful, as always.
She brings tears to my eyes. A wonderful woman. Bravo!
It was great that she made her own smore. It's part of the experience roasting the marshmallow. Sometimes it gets a little burned and the taste varies on how you cook it.
Rocking that Memphis tee shirt! Oh, everybody in the South knows that only White Lily flour gives you the light biscuits that are associated with Southern cooking.
have a great 4th of july love from england x
Your wife’s face with her first s’more is priceless just perfect welcome to America 🇺🇸 💕
