The 'square pizza' we have in New York is Sicilian style. Very bready, baked in a rectangular baker's pan, popular from the days when Catholics ate no red meat whatsoever every Friday of the year, not just during Lent. My father is a third generation baker and we had a family bakery in the Hudson Valley of New York, around Poughkeepsie. My family is from Naples, but there were significant Sicilian expats around as well. And the family bakery back in the day used to bake tray after tray of sicilian style pizza with peppers and onions and olives on it. The neighborhood patrons came down and bought one or two pans for their Friday night family meal, and the next day, they brought back the empty baking pan. There were other Italians from other provinces that settled down near Baltimore in the Mid-Atlantic region, and they brought that region (as well as a city in upstate New York called Utica) the square bready pizza but it was just the bread and the tomato sauce, and that's called Tomato Pie. Italian source, different development in the states, a bit of an acquired experience having no cheese or toppings on a sicilian pie, but it showcases the flavors of the sauce and I order one every now and then when I'm in one of the pizzerias in Midtown where that variant is available by the slice. My personal thought would be that the Italians who settled in Chicago brought some variant of the Tomato Pie but added back the cheese and changed the shape of the pan to evolve into Deep Dish Chicago-style, but the truth is just that you put the sauce on top of the cheese there because of the longer baking times needed with the added thickness you don't want the cheese to burn. So tomato on top. California style pizza is the thin crust with just a bit more dough and lots of 'fad' toppings that come and go. And don't forget dessert pizzas and semi-sweet pizzas. There's a great gourmet place around my neighborhood in NYC which does a great fig/pear pizza with gorgonzola cheese drizzled with a balsamic reduction and fresh basil which is to die for. They also offer a nutella dessert pie covered in sliced strawberries and dolloped with creme fraische. So... pizza is very versatile and available everywhere here from the giant dollar slice on the go on up to the high falutin balsamic & fruitin' end of things. :) Most every cuisine on the world goes well on a cracker with some kind of dairy product on top, and that my friends is the basic recipe for pizza right there!
Tomato Pie is what Sicilian pizza really is. Tomato sauce with anchovies and onion, no mozzarella, topped with a grated hard cheese. In Sicilia, it's referred to as sfincione. It wasn't brought to Baltimore or the Mid-Atlantic, but to Philadelphia, where it is still a big staple of Italian food, just without the anchovies, mostly.
Buttermilk Biscuits 3 and 1/2 cups self rising flour 2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2/3rd cup cold salted butter 1 and 1/2 cup buttermilk This is meant to be done by hand. Combine dry ingredients. Cube the really cold butter then using a pastry cutter or fork cut the butter into the flour mixture until you get a grainy texture (you can also pinch the pieces of butter in the flour mixture to break them up into small pea sized pieces) basically you want the butter pieces to be about the size of a peas or smaller and uniformly mixed into the flour, so the dough will look crumbly.Then stir in buttermilk. Turn out dough onto a floured surface. Shape into a big rectangle then, roll out dough a bit then tri-fold dough into itself like a letter. Repeat this process of rolling and folding about 3 times. (more folding makes them flakier and fluffier and helps distribute the butter) finally roll out dough to be about 1/2 inch thick and cut out your biscuits usually about a 3 inch round cutter. Press cutter straight down, don't twist. After cutting out the biscuits reform and fold the scraps and roll out again to cut more. Repeat until you're only left with 1 biscuit sized amount of dough and roughly form into biscuit shape. Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes after baking brush on some melted butter. You can eat them savory with just butter, turn them into an egg, bacon and cheese sandwich, or put butter and jam on them.
As a native of the great state of Maine, I absolutely love lobster, and New England clam chowder (which is different from Boston clam chowder). One of the best (and most expensive) lobster rolls I've ever seen is from a restaurant called "The Red Barn", in Augusta, Maine. The last time I checked (pre-COVID), it was $45 for one sandwich. But, it's so huge that you're likely to share it. The primary thing that separates it from others, is that they put 6 lobster claws across the top of the sandwich. It's called the "Crustacean Elation". The same restaurant also has an amazing seafood chowder, which contains lobster, shrimp, scallops, fish and (I think) clams.

Gaynor, here is a recipe for for southern buttermilk biscuits: 4 cups of self-rising flour (sifted) 1/3 cup solid grease 1 1/2 of whole buttermilk. 1. Preheat oven to 500°F. 2. In a medium size bowl, place flour and grease. Mix with your hands for a minute or so. Gently pour in buttermilk, a little at a time, as you continue to mix with your hands and squeeze ingredients together until all the buttermilk is mixed in. 3. Flour surface. Take dough of of bowl and put on floured surface. Place a small amount of flour on your hands before patting to 1 inch thickness. 4. Cut out each biscuit and place in a greased cast- iron skillet. 5. Bake on the middle of the oven until light brown. Serve immediately. With you guys being over in the UK, I’m not sure as to how to convert them to metric. I will also understand that you may or may not have a cast iron skillet, but you should be able to use a cookie sheet.

The taste is almost indistinguishable from beef and tends to be leaner because the animals are more muscular and more active than their sedentary bovine cousins.
im texas born, we have a mix of deep southern food like deer chilli, fried catfish, fried alligator, tex mex and brisket. but i have cajun roots from a handful of generations back with shrimp creole, gumbo (shrimp and crab), shrimp and grits and crawfish boil (crawfish, sausage, corn cobs, red potatoes and green onions and halved lemons) and for thanksgiving oyster dressing with french bread, boiled and minced oysters, chicken liver and gizzards and celery baked with the turkey and for dessert bourbon pound cake and pumpkin pie

The Marion Berry is a variety of black berry crossed 'Chehalem' berry and the larger, 'Olallie' berry. We can get processed Black currants but we are not allowed to grow nor have fresh black currants because of white pine disease.
Biscuits are made differently than Scones. If you do make them, you want the buttermilk ones, and you typically eat them with honey and not cream. The best is biscuits and gravy with a nice sausage gravy. So good.
I’ve seen other videos where people across the pond tried it but were horrified by the look. Plus their thinking a thin brown gravy on basically cookies🍪but end up loving them!
I grew up in Nebraska and have never heard of chili and cinnamon rolls together. And I definitely never had it for lunch at school. We had cinnamon rolls at breakfast and chili for lunch, but never together. I’ve always heard that Runzas are the food Nebraska is known for.
Alabama white sauce is completely different from bechamel and from gravy... it's a mayonnaise based sauce with vinegar ... look up "Alabama white sauce". Words can have different meanings in different areas of America. Love the reactions and your great personalities!
Here’s the ingredients: Alabama white sauce starts with a base of mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Many variations exist but typical flavorings include mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar or honey, garlic and/or onion powder, and lots of black pepper. Also as much as I enjoy Dennys no wonder u didn’t like the biscuits. You need to have a southern/Midwest mom or Gma (or go a restaurant down south that’s not a chain) make u a real biscuit
Had to add something, Alabama white sauce is mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt and ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and horseradish to your discretion. on slow cooked BBQ chicken its like touching heaven, with good beer of course as your eating. its not a gravy in common sorts. but certain folks would call it a gravy (aka Yankee's) which can cause confusion its a sauce. which is why its called Alabama white sauce.
Here in Ohio all those things mentioned are all named after the Buckeye tree nut. Ohioan's are also called Buckeye's. So is the peanut butter/Reece's cup-a-like candy. The Ohio State football team and anything else that is named after a Buckeye in this state. Which as far as I'm remembering is just the candy, people and football team. Which are all named after the aforementioned Buckeye tree nut. Which is the state tree. Can be found all over the state. And as any Ohioan will tell you don't try to eat it because it's poisonous to eat. Not to touch. But to eat. So if you're not from Ohio or a kid. Can be kind of confusing considering they make a traditional chocolate covered peanut butter candy out of it. Which is why anyone from Ohio is told early as a child not to eat it. My grandfather used to always keep one in his pocket. For good luck. Which after a while will "shine" the outside up from rubbing inside your pocket. I'm not sure if that's an actual thing to carry a buckeye in your pocket for good luck here or not. And whether white people made it up or if it's something that's come from the native tribes here or not. I think it is but don't quote me on that. Buckeye trees are not everywhere. They're spread throughout the state of Ohio. But actually finding one....at least in the Miami valley area is maybe one tree in a hundred or few hundred excluding where they've purposely been planted by humans. Usually in cemeteries and public parks. But in wild woodlands here in my experience a few buckeye trees for every few hundred other trees. So in other words finding buckeye nuts aren't extremely rare. But rare enough that you'll notice when you see them. So it's a good idea to grab one if you do. They're dry and be kept entire lifetimes and even generations if you want. And are usually untouched since they're poisonous to every single animal I'm aware of except squirrel's. Many dogs have gotten sick eating them. But that's the Buckeye nut. Which everything else named buckeye is named after. INCLUDING the Ohio State football team. Also one of the rare State's where the people are named after a specific tree, food or something area specific. Like say....Nebraska "corn huskers". Or Georgia "peaches" although that's specifically aimed at women. And possibly a few others that I'm forgetting but it's rare. Everyone else here in America is usually named after the city they're from "Bostonians, New Yorker's, etc". Or by their state "Ohioan, etc." But usually by city. Regional/state/common tree/thing names aren't that common. It's like calling Ohioan's "Maple's" like people do for people from Toronto Canada. It's rare and as far as I know the most known name in the country associating people from a specific region/state.
@ 18:00 ~ No, we have Blackberries here in the U.S. The Marionberry is a Hybrid Blackberry grown mostly in the state of Oregon. It's a cross between the 'Chehalem' and 'Olallie' varieties, it is the most common form of blackberry cultivated. It accounts for over half of all blackberries produced in Oregon.
Deep dish pizza is great, but many Chicagoans will argue that true Chicago style pizza is the pub served, square cut, thin crust type. And it tends to be somewhat well done, not floppy like NY style. You try to fold that in half and it’ll probably break lol
In Chicago they have the deep dish for special occasions, but most prefer the thin "tavern-style" for less formal occasions. Like down at the neighborhood tavern. The good biscuits are made with buttermilk- very flaky great with butter or honey. But best with sausage gravy - usually for breakfast/brunch.
I'm from Delaware and that slippery dumpling stuff is a big nope, not around here. It's actually scrapple we are known for or Fifers Orchards apple cider donuts.

Americans are unfamiliar with Blackcurrants because while they were brought by settlers, it was later discovered that the plant carried Pine Blight which was a threat to pine forests, so their cultivation was banned in the entire US. It is no longer banned, but there are only a few places where you can find them, and not in any large amounts. I have been to the UK and got hooked on Ribena instantly, and I have to pay a lot to get it, so It's more of a treat than a staple for me. But just today I got a package from my mate in Croydon with a couple big bottles of squash with bags of Twiglets for packing, so I'm happy 😁 To my fellow Yanks, if you decide to try it, be warned it's addictively delicious!
American biscuits are one thing I’m surprised haven’t spread across the world like wildfire. It’s such a simple yet so tasty soft, savory, buttery treat. It’s versatile too. You can make a breakfast sandwich or have them as a side with dinner.
I once saw a video of British school children reacting to American biscuits and gravy. They kept wondering why the gravy is white and lumpy, and even hesitant to trying it out. When they did they just wanted more. It was kind of funny and wholesome when one referred to the taste as 'brilliant' in such a British manner and accent.
@@sconaldo7 Southern biscuits have more butter and acidity (from the buttermilk), making them extra fluffy and flaky. While scones rely on richer, denser, ingredients like heavy cream and eggs to get a sturdy, yet crumbly, pastry. Our biscuits are a thin layer that's little crisp on the outside but very soft throughout.
As a Wisconsinite that was raised in Minneosta. There are two odd dishes, 1 from each, that most tourist will miss. Minnesota has Fried Mayo. Wisconsin does the cannibal sandwich.
@@rainbowunicorn709 I shake my head when I see shit like this and I feel like they need to talk to a real American who can tell them what is what. I feel like face-palming so much when I watch them.
I'm from chicago and deep dish pizza is a tourist thing, natives don't really care about it like that lol I have lived in chicago all my life and only had deep dish once
I was born, raised and again live in Missouri and toasted ravioli are really easy to make if you buy prepared raw refrigerated ravioli at the store. Let me know if you want the recipe. They are pillows of deliciousness! Mmmmmmm.....so yummy!
Most places in NY do normal round pizzas that are thing crust. People in the US will get square when the order sheet pizzas which are large pizzas for parties. In Buffalo, NY it is very common for pizza to be cut into squares even if it’s a round pizza and in buffalo it’s a little thicker.
They are larger and much longer than the typical Blackberry, and can't really be found anywhere else but in Oregon, as they were bred specifically for the climate here (that and superior flavor). They make the BEST pies...🤤
Hello I’m from Minnesota and yes we do love our tater tot hot dish many people put ground beef and cream of chicken in the dish my mother puts a lot of cheese on top and let’s just say it’s heavenly!!!
Come on Gaynor, do a food video where you make some of the food and have everyone try it. That would be great. Also, I don't know, but Aiden seems like the kind of dude who would like bull balls. hahaha
The Marion berry is a blackberry grown in Marion County Oregon. The western half of Oregon is covered in wild blackberries that are actually an invasive plant.
Louisiana has so many iconic foods it’s hard to narrow it down. Gumbo, Jambalaya, beignets, po boys, boudin, crawfish etouffee, and I’m sure I’m missing a few.

I've lived in Nebraska for 23 out of the 25 years I've been alive and Chili and cinnamon rolls or chili and squash rolls are a staple for my family every winter. Though we do spice our chili up with a couple drops of ghost pepper hot sauce.
Denny's is a diner chain in the US. Nothing fancy, but damn are those hash browns good! Also...Maryland crab cakes are the best crab cakes. But there's also crab soup, crab dip, Old-Bay flavored everything...lol 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀

Funny about the rabbit. If you ask many (especially Southern) Americans why they won’t eat lamb, it’s because they’re cute. But so common in other parts of the world! 😂

Don’t knock Rocky Mountain oysters until you try them. If you can get past the fact that it’s a literal ball then it’s just like a flat chicken nugget 🤷🏻♀️ pretty good honestly.
Salt Water Taffy (sp?) is soft & chewy when made - & if not eaten soon it will slowly harden, but generally it won't get as hard as English Toffee (as Salt Water Taffy is more likely to stick to your teeth rather than break your teeth). There are many iconic foods missing from this list (it's difficult to claim any one food as most iconic for any country, really). You're right about Nevada: 'Buffet' isn't a food & therefore is out of place in a list of iconic foods. I wonder about some video makers' reasoning (or lack thereof). 🤪
i have family in maine, you can literally just drive down to the dock and buy lobster fresh off the boat if you so choose and its basically everywhere and extremely fresh. i live in massachusetts so im not too far away from maine but still.
I love how Arkansas claims Cheese Dip and they take pride in it, yet in the video they show them cutting a block of velvita cheese. lololol Velveta the non cheese. I eat velvita once a year with ground beef and rotel spicey tomato chunks....once a year while i watch the only football game i watch a year. (the super bowl) Texas has the best caso and BBQ and avocado dips in the world. lol Do yall like Grilled cheesed sandwiches? With peanut butter? I made that famous here. Its one of those don't knock it until you try it things. I told one friend who told another and another and now its it served at many Mexican dishes as an option on the kids menu in many restaurants in Texas. Normally they will have a burger or a pizza slice or grilled cheese sandwich on the menu for kids who don't like rice and beans or traditional Mexican style dishes. Order the grilled cheese sandwich and more times than not it will have peanut butter in it. It wont say it on the menu but it will say "caution may contain nuts" for those who have nut allergies. Watermelon with bean sprouts and a course black pepper and sour cheese is good too. Chocolate and cheese, ham and cheese, cheesecake, cheese sticks with peanut butter, peanut butter with chocolate and cheese sticks. Cheese melted on a buttery tortilla with avocado, ham beans and cheese. Peanut butter on a saltine cracker with cheese. But never velvita cheese. That shit is more of a chemistry thing than it is a cheese. solidified cheese wiz if you will. There was a slice of velvita dropped on the sidewalk in a park. Normal cheese would melt and be eaten by ants or birds or something almost instantly. This slice of sandwich cheese however, stayed on the sidewalk for a week and never melted never molded and even had a shoeprint on it and never lost its shape. Thats not cheese that's the shit you eat once a year for the super bowl and spend the next 6 months urging your body to purge it. Velvita makes you invincible even if you dont want to be. Edible plastic. Flavored goo. (its soo good with rotel and ground beef and a bag of tortilla chips and avocado) No respectable Texan would be caught with that crap in the pantry. (no need to keep it in the fridge cause it aint really cheese) Leave that stuff in Arkansas where it belongs. Natural selection by unnatural cheese product. (read the box) lol tell you what. You send me 4 of the best cheeses in the UK and ill send you a box...yes a box of velvita. Deal? lol try it with peanut butter. It may work. Im not giving away my secret recipe of superbowl casa. One pound of ground beef. One can of spicey Rotel tomatos one box of anti cheese and a bag of the best locally made tortilla chips and on the side some black beans some salsa and some fresh mashed avocado and a side of onions and a fist full of ranch dressing, couple of beers and the superbowl. lol it takes all day to make cause you gotta go out an fire the grill up so your neighbors are thinking you are about to make something like brisket or pulled pork....no let them get up at 5 am and do that. you just pretend. Trade beers and chit chat. when the game starts 12 hours later you bring them a bowl of rotel and eat all the food they cooked all day. lolol that last part is a lie.....but it works. lol
90% of U.S. production of avocados comes from California but U.S. California avocados meet only 10% of the demand in the country...almost all the remaining demand is met by the neighbor to the south. Mexican avocados are able to fill 80% of U.S. demand of that delicious yet unusual fruit and the other remaining 10% demand is met by countries like Peru, Dominican Republic and Chile. The United States alone imports a little over 2 billion pounds of avocados "per year" from Mexico at a price of over 3 billion dollars...we sure love our guacamole here in the states! Yummy!
New York pizza comes in two styles--the round, thin pizza that everyone is familiar with is called Neopolitan, the square, thick style is called Sicilian.

3 and 1/2 cups self rising flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda

Press cutter straight down, don't twist. After cutting out the biscuits reform and fold the scraps and roll out again to cut more. Repeat until you're only left with 1 biscuit sized amount of dough and roughly form into biscuit shape.

The Marion Berry is a variety of black berry crossed 'Chehalem' berry and the larger, 'Olallie' berry. We can get processed Black currants but we are not allowed to grow nor have fresh black currants because of white pine disease.
Avocado can be mixed in with stuff to give it a creamy texture. They dont taste like much which is why you add salt and pepper and other stuff
I grew up in Nebraska I have had it they deserved it for lunch in the winter time in school especially high School on the freezing cold days
No one dips cinnamon rolls in chili. And you talked right over the explanation of what a real buckeye is.
@ 22:36 ~ A Bison is a Buffalo. It is the main source of meat in Native American meals.
It's actually rather delicious.
Biscuits are made differently than Scones. If you do make them, you want the buttermilk ones, and you typically eat them with honey and not cream. The best is biscuits and gravy with a nice sausage gravy. So good.
Or butter and syrup 😋my great grandmother made the best biscuits. We ate them buttered and dipped in Alaga syrup.
buttered biscuits are the base meal in the biscuit tower
Cannot agree more. sausage gravy is so good.
I’ve seen other videos where people across the pond tried it but were horrified by the look. Plus their thinking a thin brown gravy on basically cookies🍪but end up loving them!
I grew up in Nebraska and have never heard of chili and cinnamon rolls together. And I definitely never had it for lunch at school. We had cinnamon rolls at breakfast and chili for lunch, but never together. I’ve always heard that Runzas are the food Nebraska is known for.
I live in Grand Island and I grew up on that combo lol. Its a runza staple in the winter in this town lol
Denny's "America's Diner" they are found in every state usually along the Highways and Interstates
Alabama white sauce is completely different from bechamel and from gravy... it's a mayonnaise based sauce with vinegar ... look up "Alabama white sauce". Words can have different meanings in different areas of America. Love the reactions and your great personalities!
I was screaming "MAYONNAISE" at the screen. 😆
I was doing the same thing!
Knowing darn well the could not hear me lol
It's like swallowing a load .....lol
Here’s the ingredients: Alabama white sauce starts with a base of mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Many variations exist but typical flavorings include mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar or honey, garlic and/or onion powder, and lots of black pepper.
Also as much as I enjoy Dennys no wonder u didn’t like the biscuits. You need to have a southern/Midwest mom or Gma (or go a restaurant down south that’s not a chain) make u a real biscuit
@@mellycook yes, denny's should never be one's only sample size for something as ubiquitous and loved as the biscuit.
Had to add something, Alabama white sauce is mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt and ground black pepper, cayenne pepper, and horseradish to your discretion. on slow cooked BBQ chicken its like touching heaven, with good beer of course as your eating. its not a gravy in common sorts. but certain folks would call it a gravy (aka Yankee's) which can cause confusion its a sauce. which is why its called Alabama white sauce.
Hahaha so far the only people I’ve seen not completely orgasm over the parts with BBQ and ribs in this vid lol
Here in Ohio all those things mentioned are all named after the Buckeye tree nut. Ohioan's are also called Buckeye's. So is the peanut butter/Reece's cup-a-like candy. The Ohio State football team and anything else that is named after a Buckeye in this state. Which as far as I'm remembering is just the candy, people and football team. Which are all named after the aforementioned Buckeye tree nut. Which is the state tree. Can be found all over the state. And as any Ohioan will tell you don't try to eat it because it's poisonous to eat. Not to touch. But to eat. So if you're not from Ohio or a kid. Can be kind of confusing considering they make a traditional chocolate covered peanut butter candy out of it. Which is why anyone from Ohio is told early as a child not to eat it. My grandfather used to always keep one in his pocket. For good luck. Which after a while will "shine" the outside up from rubbing inside your pocket. I'm not sure if that's an actual thing to carry a buckeye in your pocket for good luck here or not. And whether white people made it up or if it's something that's come from the native tribes here or not. I think it is but don't quote me on that. Buckeye trees are not everywhere. They're spread throughout the state of Ohio. But actually finding one....at least in the Miami valley area is maybe one tree in a hundred or few hundred excluding where they've purposely been planted by humans. Usually in cemeteries and public parks. But in wild woodlands here in my experience a few buckeye trees for every few hundred other trees. So in other words finding buckeye nuts aren't extremely rare. But rare enough that you'll notice when you see them. So it's a good idea to grab one if you do. They're dry and be kept entire lifetimes and even generations if you want. And are usually untouched since they're poisonous to every single animal I'm aware of except squirrel's. Many dogs have gotten sick eating them. But that's the Buckeye nut. Which everything else named buckeye is named after. INCLUDING the Ohio State football team. Also one of the rare State's where the people are named after a specific tree, food or something area specific. Like say....Nebraska "corn huskers". Or Georgia "peaches" although that's specifically aimed at women. And possibly a few others that I'm forgetting but it's rare. Everyone else here in America is usually named after the city they're from "Bostonians, New Yorker's, etc". Or by their state "Ohioan, etc." But usually by city. Regional/state/common tree/thing names aren't that common. It's like calling Ohioan's "Maple's" like people do for people from Toronto Canada. It's rare and as far as I know the most known name in the country associating people from a specific region/state.
Chocolate covered espresso beans are amazing!
@ 18:00 ~ No, we have Blackberries here in the U.S. The Marionberry is a Hybrid Blackberry grown mostly
in the state of Oregon. It's a cross between the 'Chehalem' and 'Olallie' varieties, it is the most common form
of blackberry cultivated. It accounts for over half of all blackberries produced in Oregon.
Deep dish pizza is great, but many Chicagoans will argue that true Chicago style pizza is the pub served, square cut, thin crust type. And it tends to be somewhat well done, not floppy like NY style. You try to fold that in half and it’ll probably break lol
Bison are the largest native land mammal in north America.
Cinnamon Rolls and chili surprisingly actually works. Taffy is chewy and sticky.
In Chicago they have the deep dish for special occasions, but most prefer the thin "tavern-style" for less formal occasions. Like down at the neighborhood tavern.
The good biscuits are made with buttermilk- very flaky great with butter or honey. But best with sausage gravy - usually for breakfast/brunch.
Y’all are amazing
I'm from Delaware and that slippery dumpling stuff is a big nope, not around here. It's actually scrapple we are known for or Fifers Orchards apple cider donuts.
Scrapple....saw that episode on Dirty Jobs. I get it now: Delaware, scrapple, Joe Biden. I see how it works.
Not sure about Joey B never met the guy. He is probably into ice cream anyway and that's a beach thing if ya know what I mean lol.

Americans are unfamiliar with Blackcurrants because while they were brought by settlers, it was later discovered that the plant carried Pine Blight which was a threat to pine forests, so their cultivation was banned in the entire US. It is no longer banned, but there are only a few places where you can find them, and not in any large amounts. I have been to the UK and got hooked on Ribena instantly, and I have to pay a lot to get it, so It's more of a treat than a staple for me. But just today I got a package from my mate in Croydon with a couple big bottles of squash with bags of Twiglets for packing, so I'm happy 😁 To my fellow Yanks, if you decide to try it, be warned it's addictively delicious!
The native Americans were nomadic tribes that followed the bison herds and hunted them for food. Bison is a bovine. So it’s beef basically.
American biscuits are one thing I’m surprised haven’t spread across the world like wildfire. It’s such a simple yet so tasty soft, savory, buttery treat. It’s versatile too. You can make a breakfast sandwich or have them as a side with dinner.
I once saw a video of British school children reacting to American biscuits and gravy. They kept wondering why the gravy is white and lumpy, and even hesitant to trying it out. When they did they just wanted more. It was kind of funny and wholesome when one referred to the taste as 'brilliant' in such a British manner and accent.
I think they already did we called them scones
@@sconaldo7 Scones are very different from American Biscuits
@@LetsShitPost ohhh please tell me more
@@sconaldo7 Southern biscuits have more butter and acidity (from the buttermilk), making them extra fluffy and flaky. While scones rely on richer, denser, ingredients like heavy cream and eggs to get a sturdy, yet crumbly, pastry. Our biscuits are a thin layer that's little crisp on the outside but very soft throughout.
If you ever go to Nashville Tennessee, the loveless cafe has the best biscuits I’ve ever had
Another Maine staple is Whoopie pies, fish or corn chowder...Yum!
As a Wisconsinite that was raised in Minneosta. There are two odd dishes, 1 from each, that most tourist will miss. Minnesota has Fried Mayo. Wisconsin does the cannibal sandwich.
Avocado is usually for the party people who go to a bomb ass Mexican restaurant and EAT and have more drinks..it's a vibe
Yes, Idaho is known for potatoes, but we also have huckleberries.
Taffy is chewy, way closer to nougat than toffee…
You obviously picked the wrong place to have biscuits.
They told you in the video that the buckeye comes from the nut of the buckeye tree. They even showed the buckeye from a buckeye tree.
Millennials.
@@rainbowunicorn709 I shake my head when I see shit like this and I feel like they need to talk to a real American who can tell them what is what. I feel like face-palming so much when I watch them.
I'm from chicago and deep dish pizza is a tourist thing, natives don't really care about it like that lol I have lived in chicago all my life and only had deep dish once
I was born, raised and again live in Missouri and toasted ravioli are really easy to make if you buy prepared raw refrigerated ravioli at the store. Let me know if you want the recipe. They are pillows of deliciousness! Mmmmmmm.....so yummy!
Most places in NY do normal round pizzas that are thing crust. People in the US will get square when the order sheet pizzas which are large pizzas for parties. In Buffalo, NY it is very common for pizza to be cut into squares even if it’s a round pizza and in buffalo it’s a little thicker.
Bison is American buffalo. The meat is leaner and sweeter than beef. It's really good!
We call them blackberries in the US as well. Marion berries are different than blackberries even though they look alike.
Yes, they specified that they were created at Oregon State University 🤷🏻♀️
They are larger and much longer than the typical Blackberry, and can't really be found anywhere else but in Oregon, as they were bred specifically for the climate here (that and superior flavor). They make the BEST pies...🤤
Hello I’m from Minnesota and yes we do love our tater tot hot dish many people put ground beef and cream of chicken in the dish my mother puts a lot of cheese on top and let’s just say it’s heavenly!!!
PHILLY CHEESE-STEAK - If you ate one with slabs of meat, it was NOT a Philly Cheese-steak.
Come on Gaynor, do a food video where you make some of the food and have everyone try it. That would be great.
Also, I don't know, but Aiden seems like the kind of dude who would like bull balls. hahaha
Bison is also known as Buffalo...it's leaner than beef with a similar taste. It's delicious 😋
Live in the Southwest. Just had tacos al pastor (Mex BBQ) with Spanish rice and refries.
The Marion berry is a blackberry grown in Marion County Oregon. The western half of Oregon is covered in wild blackberries that are actually an invasive plant.
I'm eating chili right now.:) My family always eats it with cornbread with honey butter.
Yep, the marionberry and blackberry are different! They just look similar!
Louisiana has so many iconic foods it’s hard to narrow it down. Gumbo, Jambalaya, beignets, po boys, boudin, crawfish etouffee, and I’m sure I’m missing a few.
Pralines, muffuletta, dirty rice...
Oysters crabs shrimp ect...oh red beans and rice
@@kennethw7831 I thought of oysters but man you can go on and on about seafood here. I forgot about Red Beans & Rice, mmmmm that’s my favorite.
I wish more people knew about Louisiana food, both inside and outside the USA. It 100% deserves mention alongside French, Spanish, German, and other internationally lauded cuisines.
Yeeeah, but gumbo is always the standout. The bloke says he likes seafood. If he can stand a bit of spice then he'd lobe gumbo
Cinnamon roll with chili is huge in NE Kansas as well. School lunch all the time. I dunk the cinnamon in the chili.
Alabama White sauce has Mayo in it. It is good.
I've lived in Nebraska for 23 out of the 25 years I've been alive and Chili and cinnamon rolls or chili and squash rolls are a staple for my family every winter. Though we do spice our chili up with a couple drops of ghost pepper hot sauce.
HICKORY'S? We have Hickory Smokehouse, nearby in Hickory, North Carolina.
Not sure how to do what's app..
Denny's is a diner chain in the US. Nothing fancy, but damn are those hash browns good! Also...Maryland crab cakes are the best crab cakes. But there's also crab soup, crab dip, Old-Bay flavored everything...lol 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
I miss the buffets! Inexpensive, but quality, foods, multiple cultures - Mexican, Asian, Eastern European, Continental, seafood, etc. The Rio's International buffet - 27 countries represented - was the best!
the white sauce is mayonaise and apple cider vinegar and spices
Funny about the rabbit. If you ask many (especially Southern) Americans why they won’t eat lamb, it’s because they’re cute. But so common in other parts of the world! 😂
This kind of seals it. I don't understand why you don't just finance a Sophie and Aidan trip around the United States! UA-cam videos can finance it. I love this show.
Clam Chowder in Massachusetts is great, but don’t forget, Whitman Massachusetts is where the chocolate chip cookie was invented.
Grew up in Kansas, we didnt dip it but it was always paired together. Its a midwest thing
5:19 I think she meant cilantro. Certain people (me too, Playa)have those receptors that make it taste like soap
A Boberry biscuit from Bojangles😋
Detroit style pizza is known for being served in squares. As far as chain pizza goes, Detroit style is one of the best (Jet's Pizza)
Don’t knock Rocky Mountain oysters until you try them. If you can get past the fact that it’s a literal ball then it’s just like a flat chicken nugget 🤷🏻♀️ pretty good honestly.
A bison is another name for an American buffalo.
Ta'tonka is the name of the great beast that used to roam the plains. I am Dances with UA-cam.
Salt Water Taffy (sp?) is soft & chewy when made - & if not eaten soon it will slowly harden, but generally it won't get as hard as English Toffee (as Salt Water Taffy is more likely to stick to your teeth rather than break your teeth).
There are many iconic foods missing from this list (it's difficult to claim any one food as most iconic for any country, really).
You're right about Nevada: 'Buffet' isn't a food & therefore is out of place in a list of iconic foods. I wonder about some video makers' reasoning (or lack thereof).
🤪
Centralia, PA would be a good story. There are many UA-cam stories about it. It is a town that is burning underground.
Square pizza is found in St. Louis. St. Louis is also the place that gave us the fried ravioli & gooey butter cakes.
A Denny's biscuit? No wonder it was dry - it was probably 3 days old.
i have family in maine, you can literally just drive down to the dock and buy lobster fresh off the boat if you so choose and its basically everywhere and extremely fresh. i live in massachusetts so im not too far away from maine but still.
My mother ate avocados 50 years ago. She was always trying to grow an avocado tree from the pit. Avocado have always been a thing in the US
Had a laugh at the Denny's biscuits bit
I love how Arkansas claims Cheese Dip and they take pride in it, yet in the video they show them cutting a block of velvita cheese. lololol Velveta the non cheese. I eat velvita once a year with ground beef and rotel spicey tomato chunks....once a year while i watch the only football game i watch a year. (the super bowl) Texas has the best caso and BBQ and avocado dips in the world. lol Do yall like Grilled cheesed sandwiches? With peanut butter? I made that famous here. Its one of those don't knock it until you try it things. I told one friend who told another and another and now its it served at many Mexican dishes as an option on the kids menu in many restaurants in Texas. Normally they will have a burger or a pizza slice or grilled cheese sandwich on the menu for kids who don't like rice and beans or traditional Mexican style dishes. Order the grilled cheese sandwich and more times than not it will have peanut butter in it. It wont say it on the menu but it will say "caution may contain nuts" for those who have nut allergies. Watermelon with bean sprouts and a course black pepper and sour cheese is good too. Chocolate and cheese, ham and cheese, cheesecake, cheese sticks with peanut butter, peanut butter with chocolate and cheese sticks. Cheese melted on a buttery tortilla with avocado, ham beans and cheese. Peanut butter on a saltine cracker with cheese. But never velvita cheese. That shit is more of a chemistry thing than it is a cheese. solidified cheese wiz if you will. There was a slice of velvita dropped on the sidewalk in a park. Normal cheese would melt and be eaten by ants or birds or something almost instantly. This slice of sandwich cheese however, stayed on the sidewalk for a week and never melted never molded and even had a shoeprint on it and never lost its shape. Thats not cheese that's the shit you eat once a year for the super bowl and spend the next 6 months urging your body to purge it. Velvita makes you invincible even if you dont want to be. Edible plastic. Flavored goo. (its soo good with rotel and ground beef and a bag of tortilla chips and avocado) No respectable Texan would be caught with that crap in the pantry. (no need to keep it in the fridge cause it aint really cheese) Leave that stuff in Arkansas where it belongs. Natural selection by unnatural cheese product. (read the box) lol tell you what. You send me 4 of the best cheeses in the UK and ill send you a box...yes a box of velvita. Deal? lol try it with peanut butter. It may work. Im not giving away my secret recipe of superbowl casa. One pound of ground beef. One can of spicey Rotel tomatos one box of anti cheese and a bag of the best locally made tortilla chips and on the side some black beans some salsa and some fresh mashed avocado and a side of onions and a fist full of ranch dressing, couple of beers and the superbowl. lol it takes all day to make cause you gotta go out an fire the grill up so your neighbors are thinking you are about to make something like brisket or pulled pork....no let them get up at 5 am and do that. you just pretend. Trade beers and chit chat. when the game starts 12 hours later you bring them a bowl of rotel and eat all the food they cooked all day. lolol that last part is a lie.....but it works. lol
Alabama white sauce is a bbq sauce , that is Mayo based.
90% of U.S. production of avocados comes from California but U.S. California avocados meet only 10% of the demand in the country...almost all the remaining demand is met by the neighbor to the south. Mexican avocados are able to fill 80% of U.S. demand of that delicious yet unusual fruit and the other remaining 10% demand is met by countries like Peru, Dominican Republic and Chile. The United States alone imports a little over 2 billion pounds of avocados "per year" from Mexico at a price of over 3 billion dollars...we sure love our guacamole here in the states! Yummy!
i had this huckleberry hot chocolate and that stuff was amazing.
Here in Wisconsin, only cornbread goes with chili.
Of course Massachusetts is like, “oooh, a mug of warm snot with sea bugs… give me more!” 😂
New York pizza comes in two styles--the round, thin pizza that everyone is familiar with is called Neopolitan, the square, thick style is called Sicilian.
Ohio’s state tree is the buckeye tree. It has small nuts that are dark brown with a lighter brown part. The candy is made to look like a buckeye nut.
The narrator said "It resembles the nut of the buckeye tree" and it even shows a picture of the nut on the screen. And they still missed it. Aidan thinks the football team is named after the candy now. 🤣
@@dilbertdoe601 kids attention span is horrendous 😅
Makes sense though it's a bit different if you think of a Buckeye Martini because that's a little different
And the nut looks like the eyeball of a male deer.
They are poisonous. Don’t eat the buckeye nuts.
Y’all need to try funeral potato’s. Also another Utah favorite.
