The waitress would definitely be the same without the whole tipping thing, Southern hospitality is 100% a thing!!! Southerners are generously just that friendly and respectful. It's literally beaten into us since birth to respect everything and everyone around us regardless if there's an incentive or not.
@@kierstenridgway4634 I've had good wait staff outside of the south, but they still weren't as involved or as welcoming/ warm as ones in the south! it's definitely just a different vibe.
Southern Hospitality is a direct descendant of Norse Hospitality passed down through the Irish. There aren't just similarities, they're practically identical. The idea was, even if you were an enemy, it was seen as weak and childish and dishonorable not to be polite and hospitable. And honor was paramount. If you became dishonorable enough, you'd become an outlaw. And outlaws were the only people you were supposed to be inhospitable to. To the point where if you mistreated a slave or your wife, for example, and it was brought to the attention of the community, you would become an outlaw and it became illegal NOT to kill you on sight. So hospitality was also paramount.
Southern waitress with 20 years of experience. The friendliness is not due to tips, it’s just how we are. When you’re at my table, my aim is to make you feel comfortable and make sure you leave fat and happy. I hope y’all get here some day to experience the southern hospitality. It’s a real thing. Be kind to everyone.
Its wonderful people like you that make the south such a gem honestly, especially with how much.. angrier and irritated other states are becoming. :\ Like going to a restaurant here in Michigan? BRUHHHH I'm lucky to get the meal I ordered, let alone make changes ;-; "Can I get a big mac with no pickles?" "I guess" *gets fish filet with pickles* h u h My dream honestly is to actually go to the south oneday and try TRUE southern food like this, it looks friggin unreal, I'd go from 210 back up to like 400 again if I lived there lmaooo
People that have never tried cornbread before don't understand that you don't eat it dry. While it's hot you have to cake it with butter so the cornbread will soak it up when it melts. So good.
If you have to do all that, you’re not cooking it right. Nobody cooks southern food properly quite like blk people. Everyone knows that. Not everybody can cook southern food with the love it requires to be scrumptious, succulent, and flavorful❤
You can't go wrong with Josh and Ollie. Their food videos are the best and so entertaining. They're just two really nice funny lads exploring new things.
I’m from Columbus Georgia and tip or no, that’s just the way Southerners are. She might be a bit disappointed if the tip minimum (15%) isn’t met but it won’t ruin her day and the next customers will get that same Southern hospitality. It’s just who we are.
Here in the deep south, it is bred into you to be polite, especially to strangers. We yearn to feed and entertain you. And yes, even offer you a place to sleep if it gets too late while we are spinning a few stories. Southern food done right cannot be beat.
Josh and Ollie are the best! They’ve got their JOLLY channel but they’re also known as KoreanEnglishman around the world. Josh went to uni in Korea and has brought a load of UK high school kids to Korea and have new series coming out on both channels. They’re not brothers but they’ve been best friends since 2007 or so. They’ve been making videos ever since.
They did a food reacting and chili was one of the dishes in the video, Aiden actually stopped the video and said I would never eat chili, it looks like dog food.
They’re two friends who have know each other since school. They taught English in Korea and that’s how I found them through serving Korean food to soccer players and school kids at a school in Fulham. They’re great and a lot of fun.
It's nice that they got to discover genuine Southern food as well as Southern hospitality. The first time I went to a restaurant in London and asked for British food suggestions, the wait staff acted like I had asked them to donate a kidney! lol
And they say it doesn't have anything to do with the tipping, but it really does. I know in the south we are really nice, but in other parts of the country you get better service because we have the tipping system. Most places in europe don't have a tipping system, and the service sucks ass, tbh.the. I'm still waiting for my food at that little parisian cafe that my ex wife wanted to eat at. I got tired of waiting and finally just left.
You’ve just taken your first step into a rabbit hole the likes of which you will thoroughly enjoy, and can’t stop going through. Enjoy this, and all the other Jolly videos.
Grits are a type of porridge made from boiled cornmeal. Hominy grits are a type of grits made from hominy - corn that has been treated with an alkali in a process called nixtamalization, with the pericarp removed. Grits are often served with flavorings as a breakfast dish. I eat mine with sugar and butter my wife likes hers with pepper and tabasco.
I usually just tell people, "Think Polenta". Basically the same thing and I think more folks know what Polenta is than what grits are...outside of the US anyway.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY OFFICE BLOKE AIDEN! JOLLY is a great channel. They are not brothers. Just best friends. They have over 3 million subscribers for good reason. I was born and raised in The South. Atlanta Georgia. The server/waitress is the perfect model of Southern hospitality!
Unless you had my mother's cornbread it's moist and tastes like cornbread cake, not dry at all. There are many ways to make cornbread. Cornbread used in cornbread stuffing is non sweet and dry due to chicken broth used in the stuffing.
Collard greens--as prepared- are a leafy green vegetable (kind of like spinach/cabbage leaf) in which the greens are cooked in a stock usually made up of chicken broth, onion, salt, pepper or pepper flakes and a smoky ham hock (which is a hunk of ham still on the bone--usually a pig's "knuckle"--adds a ham meaty taste to the greens). They go with the other things on the plate--which are meant all to go together.
A lot of people make collards bitter, but I prefer them savory. They'll absorb a lot of the flavor of what they're cooked in, so can really change it up. I'll usually cook some bacon, then add a sweet and sour soup base to that, and slow cook the collards until they're nice and tender. Drain off the liquid, and you're left with a rich, savory flavor to the collards.
@@bus6292 Growing up I didn't know anyone that cooked bitter collards. I'm guessing those had to be around then too, but only heard about them in the last few years. For the previous 40 or so years of my life, every time I had them or saw a recipe for them it was about adding savory flavors. As a kid, it was always a ham bone cooked with them (at a minimum), but it was rare not to have some bacon fat or bacon too. Would work in some meat based stock if you could. I just started playing around with taking that to the next level as an adult (and having more access to ingredients than we did when I was a kid).
Never had bitter collards in my life and I grew up eating them from Miami to Georgia to all over the South and North. Cooking them with lemon makes 0 sense to me. They're not supposed to be bitter. That's what mustard greens are for. Sorry the boys missed out on what collards are really supposed to taste like
Cornbread is delicious. Some make it dry, I like it sweet and well buttered. Collards are good when made right(lemon would be a No). Sweet potato pie is delish. All my family eats for holidays. Jolly is a great channel, they’re hilarious. No they’re not brothers. Great reaction.
Cornbread dry is great, sometimes. But like you semi-sweet but with lots of butter is the way to go, especially if the cornbread is freshly made and just piping hot. Collard greens in lemon are great though, don't know if you don't like them just because of the lemon or because they would be more sour-ish, but I do love them in lemon juice etc.
I was hoping she’d recommend adding some of that Texas Pete vinegar sauce to the collards- that always takes them to the next level. Personally, I don’t add lemon to my collards- cook them low and slow in liquid with a ham-hock and they do just fine without it. Regarding the cornbread, I’m a true Southern-style diehard, no flour and no sugar. Cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, buttermilk and eggs. Iron skillet in the oven with some bacon grease for a preheat and a little bacon fat in the final wet cornbread mix. The Joy of Cooking has my Southern cornbread recipe in it and I’ll never cook it any other way…. ok…. add some cheese on occasion.😉
I looove watching these guys eat. They really enjoy whatever they bite into. And what bites !!! This is my favorite place that I've seen them eat. I gotta get up to that place . The food is killer and the service is the best Ive ever seen, not to mention the atmosphere .
Collard Greens are an acquired taste, but they are drastically different in how they are made from person to person. Josh and Ollie might not like these Collards, but made by someone else with a different recipe, they actually might like collard greens.
Sweet potato pie is my fav desert. It's not just sweet potatoes in it too. It's eggs, spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, and sugar all mixed up and baked in a crust. My grandpa used to make 6 every Thanksgiving since we'd have a huge family get together. I'm talking 15+ family members drop by at the house before the day is done. And I know that pie was at least part of the reason.
I went to this resturant after seeing Josh and Olly their video of this, it was amazing. Mind you I did not eat all of the food. Had the chicken with the peach glaze, amazing. Grits are great with shrimp and a little bit of cheese on top. It is all good come on over and try.
Grits is white cornmeal, like yellow cornmeal is polenta. Sweet potato pie has brown sugar that sweetens it to dessert level. Jolly = Josh and Olly!!! Amazing food. They travel all over the world. Best videos are from Italy and France. They love our American food though. I think they’ve been on UA-cam 6-7 years. They are fun silly and a little crazy.
I saw this one a while back, love these guys! There’s a great video called British high schoolers try biscuits and gravy for the first time. They have a lot of good try vids as well.
the texas bbq episode and the waffle house (it's funny because they're all pretty buzzed) and the food at waffle house is meant to be eaten when drunk at 2am so it isn't really any crazy or special food.
I think they've got to watch the two in order though, I mean the Southern BBQ followed by the Waffle House one. Just so they get the full experience of Noah Sims.
Was just at Sweet Potatoes a few weeks ago. That pecan chicken and the sweet potato were crazy good. I've never had pecans in banana pudding before, but I've apparently been missing out.
As a Southener let me tell you... Grits are typically made out of hominy. It's not a fine powder like cornmeal it's, well more 'gritty'. 10 million ways to eat them. I like mine with butter, scrambled egg & pepper. You can add cheese, bacon pretty much anything- and it's not wrong. Collard greens are a little bitter. But we also have turnip greens and mustard greens, not bitter. They're all cooked differently. (Ham, bac,okra etc) And we put what we call 'table pepper' or 'table liquor ' on them. Which is tiny hot peppers left in vinegar in a bottle. You'll see a bottle of it actually in the video over to the side. Some people use chow chow relish. Always with cornbread! :) And it's Pea-Kahn not Pe-kin
Also these foods are meant to be eaten together and not seperately. Usually you'll find us putting a little of this and a little of that all on the fork at the same time so the different flavors blend into one awesome taste.
Hi, Here from Kentucky and some people put vanilla pudding in the cornbread and it becomes more palatable and not dry at all. Sweet to go with the heat.
Savannah is about 90-minutes from where I live in the greater city of Charleston. But I think the most amazing food these guys have ever had was a few weeks ago when they got Texas BBQ. Sure there are a lot of videos about BBQ, but the place they went to was extraordinary.
The butter was pecan butter--goes with the sweet potato. Sweet potato pie has a pumpkin pie kind of feel--a thick custard like texture with the right spices, mixed with eggs, butter, sugar and vanilla extract flavor.
With cornbread, it depends how its made. My dad's family is from Mississippi, and we have always added honey to the batter to keep it moistt and akin to spongecake.
They have 2 channels, JOLLY and Korean Englishman. Korean Englishman is sharing Korean culture with Josh's friend and family (mostly) and JOLLY is everything thing else. Well worth watching both channels.
Daz explanation of British vs southern hospitality 😂 I love the jolly channel. The British kids trying American snacks is funny. I know the guy in blue has a wife based on the terry blacks episode. Not sure if they are brothers or friends tho. I prefer turnip greens to collard greens and I double boil mine, less bitter that way
Make your cornbread with WHOLE buttermilk (the best) or whole milk/cream (2/3-1/3) almost as good, to keep it moist. My grandma used water and it could get a bit tight. I make mine 45% cornmeal, 35% AP flour, 20% harina (corn flour) (easy to get here in Texas with the large Hispanic influence on the food) and cook it in a cast iron skillet. It can bring tears to your eyes.
Grits is dent corn from yellow(polenta- Italian) or white corn (Southerners use white). It is ground corn to make a "porridge" if you will. Depending on what you put on it, it can be bland, savory or sweet or any combo, even with bacon and cheese. Yes, it is used as a side dish for "supper" or as a breakfast hot "cereal." The cardinal rule is to make enough for single meal consumption. Like oatmeal it is best made and served fresh. Yes, you could save left overs and reconstitute with reheating and hot water, but it is not generally the same. Buy stone ground artisan varieties if you want hearty, creamy, rich grits. Instant box variety? No, comparison.
12:10 That's actually pretty close, it is sort of like oatmeal (porridge) but instead of being Oat based, it's Corn based and it's a lot more finely ground
I'm Cajun, I like herb roasted sweet potatoes. In the oven. lil olive oil salt pepper. It really doesn't take much skill to make good food. All natural.
Collards and turnip greens are a Southern specialty..(boiled with a smoked ham hock for flavor).. hint ... have a side of fresh chopped sweet vidaliia onion and sliced Jalapeno peppers drenched in olive oil as a topping for your greens! (Might want a dash of Louisiana hot sauce on the greens also)
I find it so interesting that when Europeans and Brits travel to other countries in the world where service people treat them with kindness and friendliness they will say it's a lovely part of that culture. But when they encounter it in the U.S., like with Southern hospitality, they are quick to suspect it's all fake/just a show for tips, instead of realizing and admitting that it's just a part of the culture to treat people this way. The owner/manager of the restaurant as well as a waitress from another table (so not dependent on their tip) also came over to say hello and check in on them because they realized they were visitors from another country.
Thank you so much for doing a Jolly video! I recommend their videos of Southern BBQ, Waffle House, and then Real Texas BBQ, in that order. They have better videos than this one. This one was still really good though.
Usually whenever I eat collards I drizzle them with a little apple cidar vinegar. If I'm eating them during thanksgiving I drizzle the turkey gravy over them.
If you get a chance, please watch when Josh and Ollie go to the gas station called Buc-ees in Texas. I live near one here in North Texas and spent $85 dollars there with my friend on snacks yesterday, lol. It has everything.
Grits can go with anything, much like rice. You can mix eggs and bacon bits in it with some salt and butter or some maple syrup or honey and cinnamon. Really whatever you want, it's a plain grain so anything you add to it like cheese will work.
JOLLY have covered UK Food, Korean, Italy, and France. Here they travel to Southeast USA (Georgia’s state fruit is PEACH … so Peach glazed Chicken and Peach Cobbler region specialty. - Sweat Tea (I do not like) - pours sugar into a Black Tea. JOLLY is just finishing their food visit to Texas (Rodeo, BBQ, Buc’ee) - Pecan Trees common in southern USA from Georgia to Texas. Pecan Pie great dessert. Pecan butter (and Cinnamon) in a baked sweet potato - outstanding with a steak. - McDonald’s cancelled a planned Pecan Roll (breakfast) in 1980s, when they realized their restaurant demand would influence prices consuming at least 30% of world Pecan production !!
Sweet potato pie is usually mixed with cinnamon, sugar, a dash of vanilla, a dash of nutmeg and eggs and whipped until smooth. The filling is kinda like cheesecake before it’s baked
Grits are made from hominy. If you're not sure what that is, it's sort of a white corn (not regular corn!) that has larger kernels. For me, the best is country fried steak or chicken, and I absolutely love fried okra.
It's nice that these two actually taste the food before giving an opinion. You see so many videos of people trying different culture's foods, and as soon as it touches their mouth they are going "mmmmm" Good or bad these two give an honest opinion, and take the time to savor it first.
In response to one of the first comments about the food: I LOVE cornbread. If you had it dry (and crumbly), it wasn't cooked correctly. I have had hot cornbread right out of the oven, butter melting on it, and the bread itself almost melts in your mouth
The waitress would definitely be the same without the whole tipping thing, Southern hospitality is 100% a thing!!! Southerners are generously just that friendly and respectful. It's literally beaten into us since birth to respect everything and everyone around us regardless if there's an incentive or not.
I think most wait people, good ones anyway, are that way. After all, you don't know if or how much your tip is till the end.
@@kierstenridgway4634 I've had good wait staff outside of the south, but they still weren't as involved or as welcoming/ warm as ones in the south! it's definitely just a different vibe.
Facts!!! If I wasn’t a gentleman…I’d have to go pick a switch off of grandmas tree!!
It really does make working easier when you can connect with people like that.
Southern Hospitality is a direct descendant of Norse Hospitality passed down through the Irish. There aren't just similarities, they're practically identical. The idea was, even if you were an enemy, it was seen as weak and childish and dishonorable not to be polite and hospitable. And honor was paramount. If you became dishonorable enough, you'd become an outlaw. And outlaws were the only people you were supposed to be inhospitable to. To the point where if you mistreated a slave or your wife, for example, and it was brought to the attention of the community, you would become an outlaw and it became illegal NOT to kill you on sight. So hospitality was also paramount.

When the waitress said “fix your face” all of us Southern Mamas were proud 😂
People are amazed about the amount of ice we use. The summers here are around 100 degrees with almost 100% humidity. Iced tea is life here.
Sweet tea!

i put mine in milk
I put butter on it then mash it up in my greens 😋
I grew up on "sweet" cornbread with ham and navy beans.....beans that have been soaked in that hambone for HOURS!

Daz, try putting honey butter on your cornbread it will make it much nicer and much less dry.
I’ve tried that and it makes it 10x better
If you don't want the sweetness, just plain butter is great too.
Shout out Churches Chicken honey butter biscuits
Cornbread should not be dry. If it is, it's been over baked.
My cornbread is more moist and slightly sweet.

Oh yeah 👍 Daz likes Whataburger too 😅
the texas bbq episode and the waffle house (it's funny because they're all pretty buzzed) and the food at waffle house is meant to be eaten when drunk at 2am so it isn't really any crazy or special food.
I think they've got to watch the two in order though, I mean the Southern BBQ followed by the Waffle House one. Just so they get the full experience of Noah Sims.
OMG cornbread is fantastic! Especially with pinto beans. Catfish takes like...catfish. Very particular flavor.
catfish is kinda like tilapia. mild white fish, thats why they usually fry it and serve it with a Remoulade sauce.
That waitress is so awesome I would tip for serving me water, and I would go back for her southern hospitality.
"Tipping" is American nonsense.
Was just at Sweet Potatoes a few weeks ago. That pecan chicken and the sweet potato were crazy good. I've never had pecans in banana pudding before, but I've apparently been missing out.
As a Southener let me tell you...
Grits are typically made out of hominy.
It's not a fine powder like cornmeal it's, well more 'gritty'.
10 million ways to eat them. I like mine with butter, scrambled egg & pepper. You can add cheese, bacon pretty much anything- and it's not wrong.
Collard greens are a little bitter. But we also have turnip greens and mustard greens, not bitter.
They're all cooked differently. (Ham, bac,okra etc) And we put what we call 'table pepper' or 'table liquor ' on them. Which is tiny hot peppers left in vinegar in a bottle. You'll see a bottle of it actually in the video over to the side.
Some people use chow chow relish.
Always with cornbread! :)
And it's Pea-Kahn not Pe-kin
These guys are a joy to watch especially if having a bad day!!😂Love them lol
Greens are not always bitter, it depends who is making it
This ep almost felt like watching gogglebox. Watching you watching one of my fav chans :D
Also these foods are meant to be eaten together and not seperately. Usually you'll find us putting a little of this and a little of that all on the fork at the same time so the different flavors blend into one awesome taste.
Definitely not everybody does this.
Hi, Here from Kentucky and some people put vanilla pudding in the cornbread and it becomes more palatable and not dry at all. Sweet to go with the heat.
Savannah is about 90-minutes from where I live in the greater city of Charleston. But I think the most amazing food these guys have ever had was a few weeks ago when they got Texas BBQ. Sure there are a lot of videos about BBQ, but the place they went to was extraordinary.
The butter was pecan butter--goes with the sweet potato. Sweet potato pie has a pumpkin pie kind of feel--a thick custard like texture with the right spices, mixed with eggs, butter, sugar and vanilla extract flavor.
There’s a division on sweet potato pie. Some people really like it, some of us vastly prefer pumpkin pie.
I love how every time theirs a food video Daz squeezes in on the end 😂. I can’t blame him
corn bread dipped in chillie is fantastic
My family owns a farm in South Carolina and every year they ship 12 to 15 containers of sweet potatoes to the UK.
we are just naturally friendly here. She is not working for tips, that is her natural personality.
With cornbread, it depends how its made. My dad's family is from Mississippi, and we have always added honey to the batter to keep it moistt and akin to spongecake.
This is what we call southern hospitality, in most places down here if you have manners and are kind then the waiters will treat you very nice
Daz must be swiping all the good suggestions for his own channel and leaving the dregs for the Blokes! Love it!
I don’t choose on this channel.
@@officeblokedaz just joking about how the blokes got flamed in the comments for a couple poor choices recently!
Collard green can be made several different ways. We use more of a bacon/ham fat/bone base instead of a vinegar base
They have 2 channels, JOLLY and Korean Englishman. Korean Englishman is sharing Korean culture with Josh's friend and family (mostly) and JOLLY is everything thing else. Well worth watching both channels.
Hospitality in the service industry in the USA is far more common than not, regardless of the position being tipped or not.
Mix 1/2 pkg of cornbread mix with 1/2 pkg of yellow cake mix….perfection
Daz explanation of British vs southern hospitality 😂 I love the jolly channel. The British kids trying American snacks is funny. I know the guy in blue has a wife based on the terry blacks episode. Not sure if they are brothers or friends tho. I prefer turnip greens to collard greens and I double boil mine, less bitter that way
Vegas buffets often have the option of unlimited beer and wine too
Make your cornbread with WHOLE buttermilk (the best) or whole milk/cream (2/3-1/3) almost as good, to keep it moist. My grandma used water and it could get a bit tight. I make mine 45% cornmeal, 35% AP flour, 20% harina (corn flour) (easy to get here in Texas with the large Hispanic influence on the food) and cook it in a cast iron skillet. It can bring tears to your eyes.
There's nothing better than chicken and corn muffins. I could eat it every day. The two flavors together are chef's kiss!
I first tried Fried Green Tomatos in Savannah in the Pirate House. P.S. My whole family loves Sweet Potato Pie.
Grits is dent corn from yellow(polenta- Italian) or white corn (Southerners use white). It is ground corn to make a "porridge" if you will. Depending on what you put on it, it can be bland, savory or sweet or any combo, even with bacon and cheese. Yes, it is used as a side dish for "supper" or as a breakfast hot "cereal." The cardinal rule is to make enough for single meal consumption. Like oatmeal it is best made and served fresh. Yes, you could save left overs and reconstitute with reheating and hot water, but it is not generally the same. Buy stone ground artisan varieties if you want hearty, creamy, rich grits. Instant box variety? No, comparison.

That's actually pretty close, it is sort of like oatmeal (porridge) but instead of being Oat based, it's Corn based and it's a lot more finely ground
Josh and Ollie are great! They are best friends who travel and try new things.
Youd get that same service from almost any place in the south. Genuine sputhern hospitality is a real thing. ❤
I'm Cajun, I like herb roasted sweet potatoes. In the oven. lil olive oil salt pepper. It really doesn't take much skill to make good food. All natural.
i’ve so been waiting for this so glad y’all are mind readers
2:13 Extra points for Aidan piecing together the clues about peaches and Georgia
Grits are dried and ground hominy. Hominy is corn (also called maize) soaked in lye and then dried.
Go to any black house in the US and get your greens done to perfection!
Grits or ground up hominy corn, otherwise known as Indian corn, which are the big white kernels😊
Collards and turnip greens are a Southern specialty..(boiled with a smoked ham hock for flavor).. hint ... have a side of fresh chopped sweet vidaliia onion and sliced Jalapeno peppers drenched in olive oil as a topping for your greens! (Might want a dash of Louisiana hot sauce on the greens also)
I love Grits and Shrimp, so good. Grits probably are served more at breakfast.
I find it so interesting that when Europeans and Brits travel to other countries in the world where service people treat them with kindness and friendliness they will say it's a lovely part of that culture. But when they encounter it in the U.S., like with Southern hospitality, they are quick to suspect it's all fake/just a show for tips, instead of realizing and admitting that it's just a part of the culture to treat people this way. The owner/manager of the restaurant as well as a waitress from another table (so not dependent on their tip) also came over to say hello and check in on them because they realized they were visitors from another country.
Savannah Georgia is a wonderful place to visit 😊
Thank you so much for doing a Jolly video! I recommend their videos of Southern BBQ, Waffle House, and then Real Texas BBQ, in that order. They have better videos than this one. This one was still really good though.
Cornbread: "It's a cross between bread and cake."
Maybe in appearance, but the taste is more of a savory.
Usually whenever I eat collards I drizzle them with a little apple cidar vinegar. If I'm eating them during thanksgiving I drizzle the turkey gravy over them.
If you get a chance, please watch when Josh and Ollie go to the gas station called Buc-ees in Texas. I live near one here in North Texas and spent $85 dollars there with my friend on snacks yesterday, lol. It has everything.
Grits can go with anything, much like rice. You can mix eggs and bacon bits in it with some salt and butter or some maple syrup or honey and cinnamon. Really whatever you want, it's a plain grain so anything you add to it like cheese will work.
Funny you say that, as a kid I loved putting soy sauce on my grits, the same way I eat rice.
As a southerner i love Santana. She is a great ambassador for us.
JOLLY have covered UK Food, Korean, Italy, and France.
Here they travel to Southeast USA (Georgia’s state fruit is PEACH …
so Peach glazed Chicken and Peach Cobbler region specialty.
-
Sweat Tea (I do not like) - pours sugar into a Black Tea.
JOLLY is just finishing their food visit to Texas (Rodeo, BBQ, Buc’ee)
-
Pecan Trees common in southern USA from Georgia to Texas.
Pecan Pie great dessert.
Pecan butter (and Cinnamon) in a baked sweet potato - outstanding with a steak.
-
McDonald’s cancelled a planned Pecan Roll (breakfast) in 1980s,
when they realized their restaurant demand would influence prices
consuming at least 30% of world Pecan production !!
You should watch Brits try Texas barbecue for the first time
"Their flavors are quite revolutionary."😂
Sweet potato pie is usually mixed with cinnamon, sugar, a dash of vanilla, a dash of nutmeg and eggs and whipped until smooth. The filling is kinda like cheesecake before it’s baked
Grits are made from hominy. If you're not sure what that is, it's sort of a white corn (not regular corn!) that has larger kernels. For me, the best is country fried steak or chicken, and I absolutely love fried okra.
I'm from the south and I promise you people are generally all caring sweet people.
Love your channel! This was a very good reaction to Southern dishes. Keep-em coming! ❤
It's nice that these two actually taste the food before giving an opinion. You see so many videos of people trying different culture's foods, and as soon as it touches their mouth they are going "mmmmm"
Good or bad these two give an honest opinion, and take the time to savor it first.
That's an odd thing to say. I mean, I can taste food and decide if it's delicious or yucky from the first bite.
In response to one of the first comments about the food:
I LOVE cornbread. If you had it dry (and crumbly), it wasn't cooked correctly. I have had hot cornbread right out of the oven, butter melting on it, and the bread itself almost melts in your mouth
They weren’t referring to the size of the sweet taters in the UK. They meant they weren’t the popular in the UK.
Collard greens are cooked with a little vinegar in them to cut the richness of the meat cooked with them, like turkey or ham hocks
Hilarious how they stick the whole chicken leg in their mouth!
Baked chicken with chutney is delicious. So I would imagine the peach would be good.
