Should we have put butter on the grits? 😅
Put whatever you want on your grits: butter, salt, pepper, cheese, hot sauce....sugar (even though I am not a fan of that personally). If y'all like shrimp, people put that in their grits as well. Eat your grits however you want :) Glad y'all had a great time by the way. I didn't realize y'all made it back home already.
I like an egg on top!! lol 😄 Try different options, there's no single way to eat them
Butter salt pepper and maybe cheese or small bits of bacon
Yes! And a little salt and pepper and maybe a few dashes of hot sauce. I’m glad you’re trying cheesy grits tomorrow.
Butter and sugar on the grits or cheesey grits.
Its not chicken and waffles unless there is syrup poured all over it.
Nah. Hot honey.
yeah, the sweet/savory juxtaposition is the whole point.
I have noticed a lot of different Brit food reactors don't use the syrup enough....YES, drench it!!
They are eating these foods without syrup ,sugar, honey and even cheese! Use the syrup brits dip your darn toast in the eggs for Gosh sakes!! 🤣
Yes, you don’t need to ask if it’s all right. Take a chance, don’t be afraid to improvise. It’s how we invented these wonderful food combinations and so much more.
You have to remember, they’re not use to flavors 😃
Why though? Thats a lot of sugar there.
@@jeffg3042 I have never travelled to the States, but wif I was there I would ask the waiting staff the best way and how the locals eat the dishes before the video, to get the best out of the food and give context for said video.
I love James and Millie and it is so hard watching them eat. They need an American chaperone or guide next time,
I said that on another one of their videos.
I like that they do try the foods individually so they get an idea of the basic flavors before trying to Americanize it. They could always check online to see the most popular way to eat things.
Butter goes in the grits, butter.......
And I add a shit ton of salt and pepper.
Its fine on the waffles. Just not instead of the syrup (or instead of putting butter in the grits).
Oh heck butter on both !
Try adding everything that's been suggested and then crumble up some bacon and put a few spoonfuls of scrambled eggs in your grits. Yumny
I put butter and sugar on my grits
USE SYRUP ON THE CHICKEN AND WAFFLES! YOUR KILLING ME!
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I thought I was the only one screaming that. 😂
Same here !!! 😬😫
I know... watching these two eat American food actually gives me anxiety. 😅
Hey Brits, ask the server how to eat it.
The butter goes on the grits, not on the chicken and the waffles. And you drench the chicken with that whole cup of syrup, it should go all over it, so it soaks down into the waffle. Then the waffle gets a little soggy with the syrup, that is how it's done in America.
Butter is fine on the Waffles. Just even more essential with the grits.
Not everyone loves syrup, lol. I'm not a fan, myself. If they're trying something for the first time, I totally understand them not wanting to drench something sweet all over something savory. If chicken and waffles needed to be drenched in syrup to be chicken and waffles, the dish would be served that way.
@@Kovitlac It's called Chicken & Waffles. The reason you order Chicken & Waffles is to drench it in syrup, that is why people order it.
If you do not want to drench it in syrup, you just order the chicken.
@@steves2241 lol, no. I like the waffles too, and having the syrup on the side for light usage. I just don't feel the need to lecture people on how they can and can't enjoy a meal.
@@Kovitlac That's the only thing I highly dislike when we watch these types of videos...the food policing. It's rude, annoying, and embarrassing. I don't care how many of us try and justify that. I really get irked by that. Why can't we be considerate?
Eating grits alone would be like eating toast with nothing on it .
It’s more of a carrier for the things you want on it.
Eating plain grits is like a punishment for the taste buds for those of us that know how good properly seasoned and flavored grits can be.
Eating plain anything is usually torture. 😎
Can we imagine beans with no salt and pepper, onions, pork or a burger with completely unseasoned meat and a dry bun that isn’t at least toasted?
😳
😂
@@tvc1848 - right when my family cooks baked beans just opening the can is the first of many steps which includes adding green peppers, onions and bacon at a minimum. Salt and pepper goes without saying. 😆. When I look at Beans on Toast, I want to go into the screen and add seasoning to it.
Or waffles without syrup! All those little squares are syrup containers. 😅
@@MrMmitch32
👍🏼😎
The prosecution rests, Your Honor!
I notice that when Brits try grits, they put nothing on them. You need to put salt, butter, and some pepper on them. You could have tried some gravy on it. Some people add shredded cheese.
This is them with every food. They're nice people but petrified by flavor. 😄
I used to work with a lady who like grape jelly/jam on her grits!
@@Cricket2731: I've heard of that---I don't know if it was grape, but some kind of jelly!!!
The correct answer to "Do you have enough syrup?" is "No, please bring me some more."
Especially iHOP pancakes….I literally put the syrup beside my plate and pour a bit on one quadrant then I eat that quarter of the pancakes. I then repeat three more times to ensure every bite has a bit of just poured syrup and the pancakes don’t get too soggy. If I miss an area, I can always pour directly on the fork too….there is never too much butter or syrup. 😅
Not everyone wants diabetes
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm Ain’t that the truth….I’m currently eating sugar free, low carb and exercising daily until my blood sugar is back to being below 100 while fasted and it sucks. But I don’t want to be morbid obese or have my organs failing so I know when I’ve gone too far and need to dial it back. Moderation is key but butter and syrup on pancakes….c’mon now that is the time for excess. 😋
@@MrMmitch32 😁 I get that. I am still young and healthy and still eat ALL the foods I want but just smaller portions. That works for my metabolism. I was never one to like Syrup, especially the fake syrup in these chains on my chicken. Pancakes, waffles and even grits and cream of wheat is good with honey or real syrup, but just a bit and real butter. I HATE when one sauce drenches my whole plate. It reminds me of fast food chinese when they mix all the food next to each other. yuk. 😜
@@JoshuaMartian-go3tm - oh to be young again…. You are smart to keep your metabolism in check. Every decade that metabolism battle goes up a weight class like boxing. 😆. Im not at Mike Tyson level yet but I’d say I’m in the middleweights for sure. 🥊
Am I the only one who gets anxiety by watching them struggle to eat properly. 😮😂
They never use the sauces, dips, etc...they dont dress the food
Apparently, Brits can leave the UK but you can’t take the UK out of the Brits….to make American food look so bland in America. I mean that is a feat in itself. 😂. I hope they will get better though with their seasoning of food before they begin eating it.
Yeah, they don't season their food when necessary. I don't understand that.
@@ladiuneeq9789, it's like having no screens on the windows.
@@Cricket2731 True!
This video ought be renamed " How not to eat grits with chicken and waffles" 😂
UK: Won the spice wars
UK Citizens: refuse to use spices on food.
Brits know you don't get high on your own supply!
@@mca7621 Really?
You guys can ask for an extra plate at no charge and just split everything and put it on the extra plate then you don’t have to eat off each others plate. Like that beacon, cut it in half then you don’t have to eat off each other, just a hygiene issue.
@@robsuffridge9298 ... I don't know how big a deal hygiene is between you and your spouse, I mean, they have a kid. But I'm totally with ya the whole, 'get another plate' deal.
between the IHOP trip and this, please dear lord learn your lesson and USE THE TOPPINGS!!! there is butter there for the grits, a little cup of gravy for the chicken fried bacon, the syrup isn't for looks.... we keep it separate so you can use as much or as little as you lke but its still meant to be used!
color me not shocked at all, they ate it bone dry. do you eat spaghetti without the sauce first?
I've seen so many Brits trying food here do this shit. I can't figure it out. It's like, I want to try a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, hold the jelly.
I dont want to say you ate it wrong but...that was a bit painful to watch lol
This video made my throat itch. 🫢
The grits need salt, pepper and butter, at the very least, and preferably cheese too. You can always order unsweetened tea, and add the amount of sugar you like.
Brown sugar. 😬
The butter is for the waffles huns
I know right? I wished they could have heard me say nooo! Lol
and the grits!
@@karenthomas4849: I know!!! When they put butter on the chicken, I was like "Oh, no"!!! 😂 I never thought that people would have to be told how to eat stuff.
Now eat beans and toast with 2 beans😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If they dont use syrup i cant watch this time.
I am baffled how little syrup they use, I mean when you order something like this your not gonna be health conscious so it makes no sense to hold back on the syrup
@@bleepbloop7039you go ahead and make your waffle soggy in syrup though. 😅
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld I will enjoy my soggy waffles and heart attack good sir
Sounds like u already did. Maybe next time.
@@bleepbloop7039 That's why they are not big ppl cuz they don't do that.
Grits are like oatmeal or other porridges in that they're meant to be dressed with something - some people make them sweet, others savory. But you gotta season them. Butter, salt. Chives, bacon, sugar, cheese...*anything*. It's just ground corn hominy rendered down.
Exactly!!!!!!
I’m craving shrimp and grits now. 😂
Follow Anthony Bourdain's advice. Wherever you go ask the hotel staff where they go to eat and drink.
add some salt, pepper and butter to those grits. The syrup goes over the chicken & waffles.
Some people put SUGAR on their grits -- heathens!!! But butter and salt are required. Pepper is optional.
@@CCoburn3 I've never in my life had sugar on my grits, I can't even picture that, but I might try it one of these days just for the hell of it.
@@jeffg3042 oh yeah!
@@janetmoreno8909 I've seen some people in Tennessee do it. May God have mercy on their souls...
Cheese
When traveling in the US, feel free to ask servers what they recommend, how to prep the food, etc.
Drench it in syrup..........
the waitress tried to help them by coming to ask if they want more syrup....they don't even understand the hint.
I believe you're suppose to put the butter all over the waffle and then put the syrup on top of the chicken and the waffle❤
The butter is for the grits. When you eat grits you use butter, pepper, cheese, and sometimes salt, all of the above. At the least you put butter and pepper on the grits.
@@steves2241 There were 2 cups of butter - I think so they could use it in both the grits and the waffle. It was funny seeing them eat plan grits though.
@@geegs120 Yeah, I saw that. I do not like butter on the waffles, I only use it on the grits.
@@steves2241 BUtter on both for me. Real butter tho, not margarine.
@@steves2241So just because you don't like butter on your waffles you decided to make the rules for 330 million people in the United States. That is not how it works. They gave butter with the waffles because most people do put butter on their waffles.
One of these days they're going to learn how to use Condiments. 😆
To be fair they put the syrup on the waffles later. Not enough probably, but some.
2 things...
Drench in syrup until it's 5 times as much as you think you should use. Then do that again.
Butter in the Grits not on the chicken.
Sorry kiddos, since you don't know how to eat the items ask the server.
She even volunteered to bring syrup. It was like she was saying "hint, hint". 😁
Calm down boomer
They don't seem to read the comments, I guess, unless you are on their Patreon.
@@tofargone16 Didn't men to trggr u boomer. Sensitivity is still manly ...
@@tofargone16 Didn't mean to trggr another boomer. Sensitivity is still manly😉 ...
I believe majority of the people who eat grits, automatically adds salt, pepper, and butter. It's the same with potatoes and rice. If I eat bland rice, its always with a salty or seasoned meat.
Smother that chicken and waffles with syrup.
You can get unsweet cold tea too.
Grits are just stone grounded corn. Usually eaten with butter, cheese, sal and pepper.
Grits and Biscuits are simply vehicles. Buttter, gravy, bacon, shrimp, sausage,
They literally put the butter on the chicken....I cant!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm guessing you've never had honey butter chicken??? Look it up and then find one close to you....
@bigernmacrackin6176 that's not what this was though🤷🏾♂️. We don't slather butter on fried chicken, completely avoiding buttering the actual waffle, to then proceed to eat without syrup.
Knock it off! Stop picking on them!
Knock it off! Stop picking on them!
Knock it off! Stop picking on them!
WOOHOO! It's James' Mom, again! She has fully embraced "Texan" culture!! Love it!
Butter, salt & (usually a bunch of) black pepper in the grits. Drench the entire chicken & waffles in syrup, and add dashes of hot sauce as needed
I felt like screaming "Dip the bacon in the syrup"...lol. When we eat grits, we almost never eat them as served, I know I like to doctor mine up. Sometimes I like butter and syrup in them, others salt and butter. Great video, thanks for sharing
Missed opportunity to "Lady and the Tramp" the fried bacon, lol.
Butter, salt, and black pepper on the grits (if you want savory). Or, cheesy. Or if you want it a bit sweet, a little brown sugar.
I clicked off after watching you all eating grits. I can't watch another video of you all eating food incorrectly. Ask the waitress!
Brits don't ask wait staff for anything other than the check.
Yeah, another thing that I thought of, is having a live feed, and we could tell them---'course, it might get on their nerves, having everybody hollerin' at them to put butter on their grits, for instance!!!
You need to try grits with butter, cheese, a little bacon, and shrimp. Grits are very good.
Butter, salt and pepper goes on the grits. Let the butter melt then stir a bit.
You need to put the syrup on the chicken and waffle. Otherwise it’s too dry.
While the Grits are hot, put butter in it. Also, salt to taste.
Friends, the butter goes in the grits! Really helps the flavor.
Grits should be eaten with butter, salt, and pepper if you’re having plain.
Hopefully you use syrup!!! Not a drip! LOL NO don't just eat plain grits - needs salt, pepper and butter at least!!! Even a bit of the gravy!!
Chicken and waffles is not meant to be eaten "as is" - it is truly supposed to have syrup all over it!!
UK citizen: I'd like to try the peanut butter and jelly sandwich please, without the jelly.
Syrup on chicken is gross
I read most of the other comments so I'm not gonna repeat what they said but I will add that I like to make some over easy eggs and chop them and mix them into my grits with salt and pepper
Yes!
7:32 Good job Millie! Drench it in syrup! Even better if it was maple syrup but pancake syrup works just as well. ❤
They didn’t use a grain of salt, a speck of pepper or more than a tiny drip of syrup 😂😂😂😂
Grits on their own are too bland. You definitely need to add butter and/or cheese.
Exactly. They need to think of them as something like mashed potatoes.
And a shit ton of salt and pepper.
Grits are ground corn.
Grits is one of those food items you can customize to your pallet you can add salt,butter, cheese even where im from lousiana, Shrimp and grits is very popular some people like the sweet side and add sugar, honey butter and so on im a savory pallet type of person myself.
I love grits with some butter, crumbled bacon and salt and pepper! Yummmmm 🤗🤗🤗
1:15 nooo that’s not we tell you about grits! we tell you to season them, and put some butter on em! 😂😂
The diner near me that serves chicken and waffles also serves it with strawberry butter and the maple syrup or spicy maple syrup.
Gotta butter your grits
That little cup with a blob of butter is supposed to go in the grits! With pepper and a little salt, I probably would have cut up some of that bacon and added that too. We never eat grits plain.
Milie is correct. That cream gravy is magical!! It is good on everything. You are officially American. lol
The only way I'm eating that is first covering the chicken in hot sauce and then covering it all in maple syrup.
Hell yeah, right !!
They dry dog everything! You need to take Condiments 101.
Don't listen to everyone bashing you for not drenching something over a dish you don't even know if you'll like or not. I'm American, I'm not a huge syrup fan, and I enjoy chicken and waffles just fine. There are no rules for how to try something new. Enjoy!
How to eat Grits 101: there are a few methods. Option 1) if you order plain grits add lots of butter, salt and black pepper. You’ll know it’s enough butter when the grits turn lightly yellow. You can eat it with eggs and/or bacon or sausage instead of eating it alone. 2) Order cheese grits. Typically you get it with cheddar or American cheese but you can get fancy if you want. The grits should be very cheesy and yellow color throughout. If the restaurant only adds a slice of cheese on top of plain grits MIX the cheese in so it’s evenly distributed. Every bite should be cheesy. Again can be eaten with eggs, sausage or bacon. Add salt and pepper to taste. 3) Just get shrimp and grits but only at a good quality Cajun/Creole or Louisiana restaurant. Or just order it in New Orleans. This type is already seasoned and shouldn’t need anything added to it.
For grits: usually you’d put salt and eggs in it. To make it even better add cheese and meat like sausage or bacon. I mix all that together really well and it’s delicious…. also you can put it on grape jelly toast. SO GOOD!
Don’t let anyone tell you to put sugar on your grits. That’s people that didn’t know how to eat it and figured they’d add sugar to make it taste better.
grits + butter, salt and pepper - nothing better! add a little brown sugar if it's breakfast time (and it's always breakfast time somewhere in the world!)
Grits are best freshly warm (do not let them go cold as they will harden) with butter (especially butter cream if you can) and sugar. Eat them like cream of wheat.
Guys, noooo!! Syrup on pancakes and chicken and waffles. It’s on the table for a reason. Pancakes without syrup should be an arrest-able offense 😂😂😂😂😂
I eat my grits like oatmeal. Top with sugar and milk. Yum.
Grits ( to me) needs to be seasoned with butter and salt. Cheese is also nice. Also if you eat it with a bite of your protein which also help to season the grits.
with grits you need to add a couple pats of butter, a few pinches of salt and some kind of protein (crumbled bacon, cubed ham, crumbled sausage, or even shrimp). DON'T use milk in it as that's for oatmeal, not grits.. many in the Northern areas like to use milk, but don't do that. some people like cheese, but I don't prefer it...
also, many believe that the name comes from the texture (gritty) but that's not true. it comes from the type of grounding at the mill that happens to produce it... 'grit' ground.
You would never know watching Brits eat American food that their ancestors brought fried chicken (the Scots) and Pancakes (the English) or Waffles (French/upper class and English) to America. As well as hundreds of other dishes...which, I might add, were improved upon in the States.
I've always said that in the South there's rarely a wrong way to eat food. We might add 4 different sauces to a meal, or mix our veggies into a bowl of pasta.
Grits are the exception to the rule. The only wrong way to eat grits is by putting nothing in it.
American servers do not mind if you ask them questions about the food like what's the best way to try the grits ? LOL
Grits are meant to be a conduit for other things. My personal favorite is cheese butter salt pepper and crumbled up crispy bacon, all stirred together.
Some people want their grits sweet so they use just sugar or butter and sugar. Most everybody I know put butter in their grits.
I've seen people put hot sauce in them.
So next time you order grits be bold.. do you and try some flavors you like in your grits.
By the way those grits look like they were prepared perfectly. Overcooked grits are often sticky and lumpy undercooked grits are usually runny and coarse.. fluff and soft we're just a little bit of texture is just right imo.
Some people mix in their eggs, pieces of sausage and cheese. With blueberries I've seen people put fresh blueberries in their grits.
I have eaten grits all my life and 2 things are an absolute must....BUTTER AND SALT.
The best food ever 💪🤘😎 Butter , salt & pepper on Grits... this gave me anxiety 😬 😫 😅😅
Never, ever eat grits without at least some butter! A little sugar added with the butter is good, too.
Chicken and waffles is something I've seen around the Midwest from time to time, but generally never ordered. We did prepare it a couple times when I worked in a hospital cafe. But I never ordered it myself until I had it in Fairbanks Alaska and it was DELICIOUS.
For grits I generally treat it like it's cream of wheat, which I personally have more exposure to. They aren't the same thing, but they are fairly similar. I like adding fruit, chopped or slivered nuts, and a little sweetness like honey.
To eat grits, you have to put it with the egg and the egg yokes with salt and pepper.
with chicken and waffles. you can drizzle syrup over it to make it better. or like here, you can use country (white, pepper) gravy on it... either works.
I've never had chicken and waffles together before. I can't wait to see what you think of them.
Don't go by them. You need to put butter on the waffle and syrup over everything. it's a good mix of sweet and savory. Born from late night drinking when people would go get something to eat after a night of carousing and it was close enough to breakfast that they had chicken and waffles.
A lot of southerners add eggs, cheese and bacon to the grits. They tend to be a little bland if eaten by themselves.
No real southern puts cheese in grits. Butter, salt and pepper and red eye gravy. Then you mix in your eggs a breakfast meat.
@@Casey28027 Lies!
@@ladiuneeq9789 it’s the truth
Put some butter on the grits and let it melt in the grits, then mix it in.
Chicken and waffles is traditionally served with the chicken on top of the waffle, hot sauce over the chicken, and syrup over the hot sauce. That's the way the dish was originally made by the Pennsylvania Dutch.
Plain grits like that, is like a blank canvas. FYI, James & Mille. The white "gravy" is nothing more than a bechamel sauce. The sausage gravy uses the render fat from the sausage instead of butter. It's the only difference, really.
Ask for extra syrup add it and butter to the grits. And syrup goes with the chicken and waffles
Next time get waffles with bacon on the INSIDE of the waffle. Then put peanut butter and maple syrup on it...HEAVEN!!
Lots of butter and pepper in my grits, but hold the syrup on my chicken. Just not raised that way. If I want a sweetened fried chicken I'll have General Tso's.
"I'm not offering this to you first, I'm just going for it." Hahaha
Butter and salt on grits, for me!! ...and, SYRUP on the chicken & waffles!! :) HUGS, YA'LL!!!
Syrup!!!!!!!!!!!
Ya'll should have put that butter, salt, and pepper on the grits (that's why there was a small cup of butter on your plate) butter makes everything better, lol
Butter the waffle then put the chicken on the waffle and cover both with syrup... a lot of syrup 😊
Butter on the chicken is new 🧇🍗
Bless your hearts. Everyone is scolding you. My advice...when in doubt, simply smother it in whatever condiment is offered.
grits always need flavor. Butter and salt and pepper. Or Cheesy grits with bacon crumbled in them.
Guys... Please spread the word for the benefit of other travelers trying these things for the first time:
Grits is not so much a thing unto itself as it is a vehicle for other flavors. I don't know a single soul who eats plain grits. At a minimum, you need butter, salt, and pepper, but I don't eat grits at all unless I can mix in scrambled eggs, crumbled bacon, and ketchup (I know. I'm a little weird). Cheese grits are very popular, but I'm not a big cheese eater, so that's not my thing.
Also, I don't think I've seen you try cornbread yet, but promise me you'll never eat it unless it's warm and buttered. When in doubt, ask the locals for suggestions on how to "dress" foods that would otherwise be kinda plain. Cheers!
Oh, Lord🤦🏻♀️ You’ve gone and done it now……stirred the South up with the grits abuse😂
Butter, salt and scrambled eggs go in the grits
Chicken and Waffles with syrup is SERIOUS breakfast flavor happening. That’s yummy. I’ve only had that twice for breakfast and it was delicious. Definitely a speciality food.
You have to piy butter in the grits and you can add cheese to it,or salt and pepper to it also.
Plain grits??? The butter is right there….!
