A "Blooming Onion" is an appetizer, variation on onion rings. The onion is cut in a specific way, then soaked in cold water so it opens up like a blooming flower, dipped in batter and deep fried. You just pull off a piece and dip it in whatever sauce you prefer. Definitely a bar food to share with the table.
"Blooming onion? What, is that chicken?" I'm literally sitting here laughing my ass off😂
There’s No hope 😂 I said same thing
He's a literal fool
He’s a proper himbo 😂
I.... can't with him sometimes.
It’s literally called a blooming onion and you think it’s chicken 😂
Scones are not biscuits! Please don't do that.
How is that so hard to understand. And Luka isn't the only one to think that.
This has been explained to him multiple times now. He's doing it on purpose.
Biscuits ARE NOT scones!!
Biscuits aren't scones though. They're different.
If I was southern I might be offended. As a Wisconsinite, I love
ranch so much. It's great on subs, pizza, salad, etc.
in the UK they call our biscuits, scones. Our scones are sweet, not the same as theirs, if that made any sense haha. He was talking about making them at home, which is why he mentioned scones, its his equivalent
@@nicolascorona7618 some biscuits and scones can almost be the same thing but most scones tend to be more denser and crumbley and US biscuits tend to be lighter and fluffier. scones are also more similar to northern biscuits which are drier and crumblier than southern biscuits.
@@nicolascorona7618Every time so see a video of a Brit trying Biscuits and Gravy, they say, “It’s scones”, take one bite and say, “These aren’t scones.”
American Biscuits are “descended” from hardtack tradition, and the name in French literally means “twice baked”.
Cracklings (also scratchings) are deep fried pig skin.
Ambrosia salad DOES NOT contain mayonnaise. There's a video out there that all the reactors react to that says that it does because whoever made the video doesn't know that mayo isn't a dairy product. Ambrosia is made with whipped cream.
We have scones too but they are not usually circular.
Do not use scones. They will be too sweet for biscuits and gravy.
The reusable ice is so your drink is cold, but not watered down when it melts
That's why we always added extra syrup in the machine...
STEP AWAY FROM THE SCONE! A biscuit is NOT a scone. A scone is sweet.American biscuits are not. You can add things to make them sweet but they are just a dense crumbly bread. Not the same as a scone.
Fried chicken = incredible. Waffles = incredible. How can anyone think anything bad could happen by serving them on one plate?
That formula doesn’t always work though. See the Shepard’s Pie Ladyfinger Trifle from Friends
@@Tconlon251_2Yeah. 100%. Think the lack of flavor/moisture contamination is why Chicken and Waffles is so perfect.
Processed cheeses (such as American cheese) are only 10.4% of annual US cheese sales. 54.1% are natural cheeses, and 35.5% are deli cheeses.
All cheese is processed...
A root beer float with blue bell vanilla ice cream is absolute perfection
My man. Im currently on a month long binge of this concoction as we speak.. I seriously have a problem 😂
Scones are pretty different from biscuits and wouldn't be good with sausage gravy.
Unless it states otherwise, most bacon bits are actually flavpred texturized vegetable protein so they're highly processed.
Jessica Simpson asking was Chicken of the Sea chicken was more valid than Thurston asking was a Blooming Onion chicken. 😂
If trying out root beer, make it a root beer float.
I usually don't like ranch, but it does go well on veggies like celery, carrots, or cucumber.
The reusable ice cubes are so the drink isn't diluted as they melt, similar to whiskey stones.
Blooming Onions are just like fried onion rings, just sliced in a fancy way to look like a flower.
New York Pizza > Chicago Pizza.
Pop Tarts are bland unless you go for the good flavors, like S'mores or Brownies.
Gotta toast the smores and freeze hot fudge sundae but agree great for a dessert and less for breakfast
Deep fried Mars bars originated in a pub in Scotland. A lot of countries have deep fried street foods.
Ambrosia (fruit salad) is grand! My grandmother made it all the time. I think they circulated the recipe in the 1940's wartime when mayo (eggs) and fruits were limited. The addition of marshmallows cut back on the amount of fruit used. The marshmallows get soft and puffy soaking up the fruits juices so they really are amazing! She also collected English walnuts to add some texture. I did not know she used mayo for years. We all became fussy about that so she turned to Cool-Whip. It was waaay too sweet with whipped topping. Better with the mayo. She also had a no eggs chocolate cake recipe so if you could only get one egg product and chose mayo (which is made with eggs) you could still bake. Very chocolaty. Yum! You need to do a blind (uninformed) taste test to really taste it without judgment.
You add a cup of sour cream to the 2 cups of whipped topping. It regulates the sweetness. I use a can of mandarin oranges, a can of pineapple tidbits, about 1 1/2 cups of cut white seedless grapes, a can of tart cherries, a cup of pecans, two cups of mini marshmallows, a jar of maraschino cherries, and a cup of sweet shredded coconut. Mix the whipped and sour cream together, drain and add the fruit, add the marshmallows, coconut, and pecans, mix throughly, let sit in refrigerator until ready to serve. It’s amazing!
The one that was a fruit salad that added mayonnaise was ambrosia salad. Those are the weird ones. Most people apparently use yogurt for the dairy item to that fruit salad.
Root beer is definitely the best drink to go with hot dogs.
I don't drink much soda, but I love root beer with pizza!
Blooming onions are deep fried battered covered onions that have been cut in a certain way that has been soaked in cold water that opens up the onion. In restaurants that serve blooming onions usually serve it with a watered down thousand island and horseraddish mix. At least i think that's what it is. That same sauce also goes well with fried mushrooms.
Koreans love corndogs and have taken them to the next level. They coat them in a variety of coatings and even sprinkle sugar over some of them. The only one I can think of off the top of my head is one coated in diced potatoes.
The strongest commercially available mint is called Altoids in America. It’s not everyone’s thing as it’s pretty strong, but it freshens in a hurry. Although many may disagree.
My dad used to eat those all the time. I never really liked them unless it was spearmint
The licorice ones are so potent, they curl my nose hairs inward.
@@danielm5535 I didn't know they had licorice. Didn't like the cinnamon ones either
Most of the famous brands of American soft drinks were created by Pharmacists, and Root Beer is one of the oldest.
It all about the medicine. Root beer contains many of the same ingredients as cough medicines, 7-UP had lithium, an older mood stabilizer drug, Coco-Cola was made of coca leaf (cocaine) and kola nuts., Pepsi claimed to cure dyspepsia, ginger ales are still folk medicine for stomache issues, Dr Pepper may have included the digestive enzyme pepsin, just like Pepsi did.
You guys have to get corndogs in the UK. Thats just not fair that you dont have them. the bloomin onion is an onin cut into petals, deep fried and dipped in amazing sauce.
I'm an American in Japan who has just now been here for exactly one year and just realized that I've never seen cereal here.
Biscuits are not scones. They may look a bit alike, but they are not made the same, nor withbthe same ingredients. If you tried sausage gravy with scones, it would not go down well. Biscuits, or buttermilk Biscuits are made with flour, buttermilk, butter, and baking soda and powder (to get the dough to rise if you don't use self-rising flour), and a bit of salt. Scones are made with just flour, milk, and sugar, I believe. There's no sugar in American Biscuits. But the trick is when cmakingbthe dough, is to roll it out flat, and then fold it over a few times to create layers as it bakes. So when you go to split it before you pour the gravy on, it splits easilly and you still get pretty good halves. However, if you don't want to bother making the buscuits from scratch, you can buy Pillsbury Dough Pre-made Biscuit dough in a can. You just crack open the can, slice the dough in whatever thickness you want, and then bake it. I think it's not pre-sliced, but i could be wrong. I have seen or used one of these in over 30 years.
And as far as the gravy goes, that's simplr to make as well, cook up some ground sausage, (NOTE to my UK friends, "Sausage" is not just tubular meats. Sausage is Spiced Pork that is also quite fatty) pour in a bit of flour, stir that up to get your sausage and grease coated, and then start adding in milk to start your gravy. Keep adding in milk to get the thickness you desire. You kinda want a middle of the road consistency. Not too runny, but not too lumpy either. I tend to like mine a bit mkre on the runny side, so it soaks into the biscuits a bit more. If the gravy is too thick, it jjst kinda sits there on the Biscuits.
I love Twizzlers. Lipton iced tea is nasty. I love pop-tarts out of the toaster with butter on them. Not the iced type. Love, love biscuits and gravy or just biscuits with lots of butter. Biscuits are not scones. We have scones, very different. Watergate salad is really good. We have it on holidays.
13:05 "You said ouch. What?" Because the center of a Hot Pocket is the temperature of molten lava
If you haven’t ever seen it- the Jim Gaffigan Hot Pockets sketch is hilarious.
Not sure why they don’t show the correct picture when describing things. The salad in question is called Ambrosia salad. Its made with cool whip, various fruits, marshmellows and a jello-o mix. Its a really good cold side for picnics or pot lucks.
Most of those images were not Chicago style pizza.
HotPockets are questionable. When you feel lousy after eating something, it is definitely questionable.
I agree, sometimes you have to just feed your family and get the cheap bread.
Best grilled cheese sandwiches are made with American sliced cheese.
Are you thinking of ambrosia for the fruit salad with mayo?
Reusable ice cubes is about saving water
We have cereal that isn't full of sugar
I think pork 'cracklins' is a southern term. Growing up in extreme west Texas, the Mexican culture around me called them 'chicharones' while the American English around me called them "pork rinds". And yes, there are big ass containers of them at sam's and costo. the contatiners are like, clear plastic barrels. Low fat, high protein snacks. The dogs and I love 'em. And they're made from pig skin, iirc. It's not like processed ham where it could be made out of just any bit of pork... I don't think... As long as it tastes great and has that nice crunchy texture, right??
I relented on letting Die Hard being a Christmas movie because for whatever reason it just _works_ to watch it near Christmas.
It's like getting a shot of adrenaline to finish up the holidays, which can be exhausting sometimes. I watch it like two nights before Christmas when I'm at peak stress with prep stuff.
It's like slipping into a warm bath, and _only Die Hard does it!_
Mayo is really just a type of salad dressing, and many "salad" vegetables are actually fruits- if it has seeds in it, like tomatoes, cucumbers, etc., it's a fruit. So mayo mixed with fruit isn't really that far out there, though I do prefer something like whipped cream- basically one is a little more savory and the other would be a little more sweet.
The thing is, I'm not a big fan of may, other than a thin spread on a BLT or just enough in a tuna sandwich to barely hold it together. But, I love carrot salad! Shredded carrot, raisins and mayo!
If you're not used to something, have a positive attitude and think "that might actually be good!" Why go through life assuming so many things wouldn't be good, never trying them, when it could be you're missing out on something that would surprise you and become one of your favorite foods, or at least something you find good!
Where I’m from most people put pecans and brown sugar on their sweet potato casserole not marshmallow.
Also not off of Florida is Miami. The Panhandle is very Southern to the point a lot of people call it Lower Alabama.
Florida, the more north you go the more southern it gets.
We put a brown sugar and pecan crumble on ours, too. 😛yum (and pronounced puh-cahn, definitely not pee-can or PEEK-un like the Brits say. ugh.)
On the ice.. you get individual cubes, filled w/ water that you freeze, so that when you put the ice in the drink it does not water down the beverage.
Sweet tea, otoh, gross.
No, bacon bits....not bits of bacon.... tho it does vary somewhat... According to Mashed, the components of your pre-made bacon bits vary by maker. McCormick Bac'n Pieces-one of the more popular brands-are 100-percent vegan. In place of cured pork, the food item contains textured soy flour and canola oil. Caramel color, red 40 dye, maltodextrin, lactic acid, yeast extract, and the flavor boosters disodium inosinate and disodium guanylate are added to give the soy flakes their meaty taste and appearance.
Thurston, have you heard of the "Twinkie defense"? Here's the story: In 1978 the Mayor of San Francisco was assassinated along with the first and only (at the time) gay member of the city Board of Supervisors. The perp, another Supervisor, was tried for the crime and claimed he was not guilty by reason that he was on a sugar high from gorging on Twinkies. It kind of worked. He was found guilty however not of murder but of the much lesser crime of manslaughter and sentenced to (only) 7 years in prison of which he served 5 and then was released for "good behavior". Keep those Twinkies handy in case you ever need them as an excuse.
"Sweet tea" is just excessively sweetened iced tea, that is plain old tea cooled down with sugar added and served over ice usually which a lemon wedge. I don't mind the sweetness as much as the calories so I always get plain iced tea and sweeten it myself with non-calorie sweetener like Stevia. And for me the lemon is essential.
What you're describing is "sweetened" tea, not actual sweet tea. To make sweet tea, the sugar is added while the tea is still hot and some even brew the sugar with the tea so the sugar melts into the tea. Then, it's cooled down and served over ice, adding lemon if you want (I personally don't). I used to LOVE sweet tea, but you're right, too many calories and sugar. I drink mine unsweetened now...unless they screw up at the restaurant/drive-thru and accidentally give me sweet tea instead. Then I just consider it a treat. 🙂
@@debbsc5176 As a matter of scientific fact, when you add the sugar doesn't really matter. It's how much. As you say, different people add it at different times. But sucrose is sucrose and it just dissolves easier when the tea is still hot but will dissolve when it's not. You just have to stir and/or shake more.
I hate candy corn and twinkies.
Yeah biscuits and gravy is good...but cordogs are underrated in this video...especially fresh made from a vendor (like at the fair)
Sweet potato casserole is the STRANGEST sounding food combo but it’s good, if done correctly
And there are more ways to make it, too. We make ours with a brown sugar and pecan crumble on top instead of marshmallows.
(looks at thumbnail) If you think that's bad, my mother always made a Christmas "salad" of lime gelatin mixed with carrots, celery and mayonnaise. Who can outdo that?
Nasty!!! But Europeans eat fries with mayo, which is definitely worse.
I like how he says butter
The reusable ice cubes are used to cool your drink without watering it down
Adding sugar to already sweetened tea?? He must have diabetes.
If not, he soon will!
The reusable ice cubes are great. They don't water down your drink. Bac'n Bits come in a bottle and you sprinkle it on foods. It is not bacon. It is flavored soy protein made to mimic the taste of bacon.
22=twizzlers was a huge help for my sister when she went through months of radiation for breasts cancer. 21=candy corn no thanks. Sickly sweet. 20=sweet potato casserole, hate this stuff. I love sweet potato, but NOT with marshmallow ! Root beer ! Love it. Get it ice cold and pour over vanilla ice cream in a glass. Makes the best ice cream float. No candy on or in my cakes. 16= grits, never had them. I prefer Cream of Wheat. Biscuits and sausage gravy, 100% comfort food. Go on line and order a box of bisquick mix it makes good biscuits. Use pork sausage ground up. With a milk based gravy. You can find recipes on line.
If you want a gross “salad”, look up “Frog Eye Salad.” It’s little pearl pasta with cans of fruit and mayo.
I'm with you on ranch dressing. My sweet potato casserole recipe includes orange juice to balance the marshmallows. Scones and biscuits are not the same. Fruit salad can have mayonnaise or sour cream as the dressing. I prefer a vinaigrette.
As an American I've never had chicken and waffles...it just doesn't sound very appetizing to me. I've also never had a corn dog. I don't eat 'hot dogs' or 'wieners'. Never have, even as a kid. Sweet potato casserole with brown sugar and marshmallows--I'm someone who hates it. Root beer is fine with vanilla ice cream in it. I've eaten at Outback once--yuck! But then as a rule we don't eat in any chain restaurants. I hate Twizzlers! Candy corn is an abomination. I once lived in Georgia and I hated grits. I don't eat sugared cereals either. When I was a kid in the 1950s, we didn't have sugary cereals--Wheaties, Corn Flakes, Grape Nuts, Shredded Wheat, etc., were the cereals I grew up on and I still love them today. I've never had a Hot Pocket, so I don't know how they taste. I hate American cheese, Cheez Wiz, and Velveeta--they're nothing more than digestible plastic and they taste like it. Marshmallows in fruit salad?? I've never seen that. I really dislike Ranch dressing. I haven't eaten a Twinkie in maybe 60 years. They were never my favorite snack cakes. I'll eat our homemade biscuits and gravy, but I don't trust restaurants to make it well. Too often the gravy is much too thick with a texture like glue, and the biscuit is too dry. But a nice, warm, crunchy biscuit on the outside and tender and moist on the inside, covered in a light gravy with good sausage, is a wonderful thing.
Bloomin' Onions are like onion rings. However, they have less batter and the onion somehow curls into these strands of braids like curly fries.
We all support you Man keep trying to fight for your channel
Definitely can’t use scones in place of biscuits. Look up bacon bits, it’s anything but real bacon.
11:44 yes. Breakfast cereal was created in Dansville NY by Dr Jackson and it was called granula. Dr Kellogg took it a step further and turned it into granola. Also started in Dansville was The Red Cross
You saw that on foods that built America. 😂The History channel
@Jimmy-md9wk no. Didn't know they did an episode on it. I grew up about 10 miles from there in Conesus NY.
The Rochester area also gave us: Jello; French's mustard; Ragu; chicken French and THE GARBAGE PLATE
Mint is amazing. Mint chocolate chip. Mint jelly with leg of lamb is amazing. India uses mint chutney with meat.
Pork cracklings are the skin of the pig.
Biscuits aren't scones. Scones are scones even in the states. Biscuits have an entirely different texture than a scone.
Please! Scones are not biscuits. Scones are small cakes- pastry. Biscuits are a bread. Very different
what's funny is, I'm American and I agree with most of the foods brought up that non Americans think are disgusting. Except that Blooming Onion is basically deep fried onion, that's yummy. Bacon bits... if it's real, it's good. I hate those fake canned processed ones. Corn dogs- good! Festival food- good to a point, haha. OMG Chicago Pizza is my favorite- SO GOOD! Everything else I agree with.
Chicken and waffles should def not have cheese on them. Every time I’ve had them they’re placed next to each other, so you don’t even have to eat them in the same bite if you don’t want to and the maple syrup doesn’t necessarily touch the chicken cuz it typically comes in a little ramekin on the plate.
I hadn't seen him in ages. He has lost weight.
Pork cracklings or pork rinds are deep fried pig skin.
Any non-American who loves deep fried Mars bars and critiques American food is not in a position to compare pallets for culinary quality.
Freshly made ranch dressing is so much better than the bottled garbage. That said, I prefer a good vinaigrette on my salad. Preferably my own homemade.
Reusable ice cubes melt inside the plastic so they don't water down your drink. The downside is, you have to wash them.
Watergate was the name of the building where republican President Nixon bugged the offices of democrats in the 1970's. The Watergate salad was invented then. It has chopped walnuts in it that resemble bugs. (At least according to my mother who made it often. I didn't like it.)
There's some brands of bacon bits seem more like shredded pork jerky than actual bacon.
I'm in the American minority of people who hate Ranch dressing. For me, I think it's the buttermilk. Buttermilk is good in pancakes and biscuits, not in creamy dressing.
I'm American and find Twizzlers and candy corn disgusting. I try to stay away from corn syrup and use honey, stevia extract and cane sugar when possible.
Bottled sweet tea I buy Pure Leaf or Gold Peak. I used to buy a brand with stevia but cannot find it any more.
Sweet tea is a big thing in the US and all brands have a version of it you can buy.
Arizona Tea makes a boat load of different flavored teas. From Green Tea to Raspberry, Lemon, and others i believe. Anf yesh, they're loaded with sugar. More than than the equivalent volume of soda.
True, but they're still not "sweet tea." Those are varieties of *sweetened* tea. Not the same.
I used to go to the original OUTBACK on Henderson Blvd myself
Cereal came from Kalamazoo/Battle Creek Michigan.
2:01 😂😭
Americans in general don't know what a cheese toastie is. We have grilled cheese and hot pockets but not what I imagine is a cross between the two.
I think I only like 4 of these lol but biscuits and gravy is to die for!!!!
Ok, but as someone who uses to eat meat, chicken and waffles were pretty good. You get sweet and savory
Thank goodness- a Floridian who recognizes that Florida is not part of the South
Bacon lollipop?😂
Rootbeer is supposed to taste similar to caramel or creme soda
When will people understand. Florida isn't Miami or Tampa or Orlando/Kissimmee.
Floridians are a special breed of southerners.
I keep wanting to try the candy corn that Jelly Belly makes, but they might have discontinued it.
I just figure if anyone can really make candy corn taste good, they can.
Ive never seen marshmallows in fruit salad
Twizzlers are delicious. They are the best red licorice.
Make biscuits and gravy, American style, record it
Yeah, I’m American and also think chicken and waffles is gross. Same with marshmallows in fruit salad. I never eat it at thanksgiving because of that.
Also I find the Quaker instant grits to be decent.
That guy is totally wrong: there’s plenty of southern culture in Florida with classic southern cooking. He must stay in his bubble in Tampa/big cities full of non-native southerners. Yes bigger cities in farther southern Florida will not have as much of the true southern culture. It’s more central and north.
Beans for breakfast. Hmmm??
🙄🙄
Cheers are truly amazing
It's 51% cheese by law
It’s called a kabob. Not a lollipop
pork cracklings are pig skin basically fried
I prefer red vines or more fruity flavored licorice
