Chicken Fried Steak has to be made correctly. You don't just take a piece of steak, bread it and fry it. You have to take a piece of thin steak, I use Round Steak, pound it until it's thin and tender, then dip the pieces in flour/milk/flour, then fry it. Then you make gravy with the leftover drippings and serve with mashed potatoes. It's amazing!
Actually it's better if it's not thin. It dries out too quickly. But it does have to be tenderized. You can beat it with a meat mallet or ask the butcher to tenderize it for you. Thin looks pretty but us usually dry as a shoe.
@@jayneliberty3429 Like I said, I always use round steak, and it turns out perfect every time. When I said thin, I just meant thinner than what they had.
Having eaten squirrel before, I can honestly say that if you like dark meat from your turkey or chicken, you’ll probably like it. It’s not oily or greasy at all and honestly it’s pretty tender.
I suggested revisiting that one. I haven't had squirrel before but when I googled it the result said it's somewhere between rabbit and chicken, with dark meat chicken as a taste compromise between the two. Using beef wouldn't give the same experience as that.
The tricky part about squirrels I have learned from Oregon Trail edutainment game: You spend more on bullets to get squirrel meat than you would if you just bought hard tack at the fort!
Fully agree! Looked as if they just used canned food mostly. The fact, they ate sauerkraut directly from the jar, so, probably, not even heated, said it all... Also, the beef stew looked very much ready-made. As for chicken fricassee: it's so easy to be cooked... and so worth the effort! A pity, they didn't take more effort there. They could easily have done it a long-term project and do one or two dishes per day, but preparing each of them in a proper way and really enjoy the food, they prepared. We wouldn't have known. In the end, the presidents, most likely, had the best cooks around, so, comparing canned food to what most of the presidents liked, is just not a good match. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. With Alessio, as an Italian, I would have suspected, they would be preparing everything freshly (except for the nowadays available fast food, of course).
I love you two - Jessi, you do such a great job with finding out the history of food before you highlight it. I also love how you show graphics. Thank you for all of the fun "escape and educational" videos. Keep em coming.
Pot roast- chuck roast, carrots and whole onions( peeled of course). Slow cooker. I pack of beefy onion Lipton soup, follow directions on pack. Make sure to season the meat. The beef will be super tender and so will the veggies. Serve with mashed potatoes if you want to. I add a half cup of red cooking wine to the soup mix before adding, is sooo good.
They didn't have a slow cooker way back then lol. I do all homemade from scratch so I still enjoy doing it in an actual pot with the veges but no soup. Beef bullion cube or packet if it isn't flavourful but it usually is.
@@ednaatluxton4918rofl “way back then” was the 70s when Ford was president 1974 to be specific, they most certainly had crock pots they came out in 1971.
Ohhh; Mexican street corn (elote`)! So delicious! Starts with grilled, slightly charred, corn on the cob. Then, season with mayo, a hot chili powder, and queso Fresca (a dry, crumbly, salty cheese). Or, just remove it from the cob and add the above seasonings. So good!
What a cool idea! I started to cook through the USA alphabetically and what each state was known for, but I fizzled out. You've reignited the foodie flame!
Instead of lobster rolls for Maine there are some less typical options despite it always being the one on lists. Wild Maine blueberries are world famous. The birthplace of many of the most beloved donuts. I just feel like the lobster roll has been over done and obsessed over.
@@ThePasinis California gave us the Cobb Salad, which was a feast for the eyes heaped in gorgeous rows. In each state I did an appetizer, a main, and a dessert. My "favorite" was the Baked Alaska, which is not from Alaska, because the picture was so beautiful and my end result was a PERFECT "Nailed it" memeworthy melting mess. Ugly and delicious. Please take up the quest for me. ❤❤❤ Pace yourselves. Hunger is the best spice.
In Scandinavia where pickled herring originates from we normaly put it on a slice of buttered rye bread topped with raw onion rings and other garnish like dill or capers. eating on itself with no garnish on top is just wrong. If I took a big chunk of gorgonzola and said it tasted horrible on its own then most italians will probely tell me to combine it in some sort of dish to change my mind.
@@carlr2837 You're right about that. There was a store in the next town that made their own pickled herring and it was delicious too. But when you don't live near the store, the jarred is good enough.
@@paanne1013 I'm half Danish myself, and I think you're onto something. A definite yes to the rye bread, too. It probably is hereditary - my ex didn't like anything Scandanavian, so I get it more often now. I have herring in the fridge, and rye bread in the pantry. ;)
Pickled herring is common in Scandinavian countries; as part of a “Smorgasbord” buffet, having it with hearty rye bread, cold meats, smoked salmon with dill, various cheeses, pickled cucumbers, boiled onions, beet salad, and potatoes - it can be delicious because it adds a saltiness, tartness and smooth texture.
Leather britches “green beans and bacon” are a specific type of way to preserve green beans. They’re picked whole, strung on thread, then slowly dried. When cooked, they have to be reconstituted with water, and usually cooked with bacon because of the grease. My experience puts chicken as a closer sub for squirrel. We usually had squirrel gravy over biscuits. Ham and corn bread was likely soupier cooked ham, use the corn bread to wipe the plate.
What a fun video! I have to say that pasta with butter and cheese has always been one of my go-to meals. From childhood until now, well into adult hood, I still love simple buttered pasta with Parmigiana Reggiano cheese. I like it with almost any pasta, but I like it best I think with Spaghetti Rigati. It's simple and comforting and always good no matter how you're feeling or what the weather is outside. ❤
You really missed out on the chicken fricassee, I make it all the time using an old French recipe, and everyone who tries it always loves it. Gem of a traditional recipe.
@@avantgardenxAgree. Most of the food looked sad and, actually, canned. Them eating sauerkraut directly from the jar told it all. Not even heated... *brr* Also the beef stew looked canned. 😞 But the clam chowder was the worst. And it can be really good, if done well...
You guys are great!! New England boiled dinner if you aren’t Irish is a smoked shoulder (pork/ham), carrots, potatos, onions and turnip. A blast from my Maine past!
@@kaymcmahonclay7127it's adjustable based on what you have really. Each family developed preferred versions as refrigeration came along and choice meats were more easily available.
Back in the 80s when Jelly Bellies came out, they were really revolutionary. Before that you only got the kind of jelly beans that came in Easter eggs. The fact that Jelly Bellies had all these different flavors and you can mix and match them like peanut butter and jelly, made them really novel.
That looked like canned beef stew… which I can understand why it is pass, well at least the first time you tried it. Why not make real beef stew? So good and not even in the same category as canned stew. It makes me shudder. Canned stew is like giving Alessio spaghettios as a representation of Italian spaghetti lol. Chicken and white gravy is made by making a roux with the chicken grease left over from frying it and then turned into a cream gravy and it’s amazing and even better than pepper or country gravy. It would be so cool to see Alessio learn to make American classics. Ditto to clam chowder and pot roast, has to be home made, I doubt these presidents were eating pre packaged stuff until we got to jelly belly’s lol. Interesting video though.
Well when you grow up eating certain food, you will love it throughout your life. You aren’t very likely to change your mind about it even if you get richer and become able to eat more expensive food.
@@ThePasinis That's why some parents (mothers generally, but some fathers too) take pride in giving a good culinary education/experience to their children..... I am blessed to have a mother that's a good cook, but not every mother likes to cook. At least, if the mother doesn't really cook but treat her children well with some balanced meals that are thought and done with love and care, that's perfectly fine too. Preparing meals is a proof of love. Meals are pleasure. Here in France, eating is very important. We're hedonist about that, like Italians. Roman brothers.
@@ThePasinisthis comment is... A rabbit hole.. 🕳️ I suggest in some free time. Jumping. What I am handing you. Is going to change the way that you have seen the world and history. What these elites have done. And the manipulation of food. I'm only 16 minutes and 43 seconds in. I'm not joking a dead buffalo was a dead indian. And our own government came through and killed millions. How did they do so? From the sky with zeppelin's. Using Archimedes mirror Greek fire technology. Just like maui. Just like Paradise California. Just like texas. Just like wyoming. Just like Turkey. Just like Greece.. just like Italy. Remember whenever America's military was off your coast and homes were catching on fire. Tornadoes. Earthquakes. They hit you with frequency technology.. same thing as they're doing today.. I cannot stress there is no new technology under the sun. They stole it.. All of the president's favorite meals. Definitely not buffalo. A dead buffalo is a dead Indian. Just as our system is being terraformed right now. Farming. Agriculture.. same thing happened back then. They took everything off your menu and sold you hogs chicken and cattle. Of course they would pick their favorite proteins to be the exact proteins that they took over and want you to buy. Talk about the mob. How does a corporation having a human rights affect you? How does it affect your laws, how does it affect your voting? Fyi. This goes back to the thieving of America, thieving of the railroad. Seed of corporate power 1866 1868. Of course that was right after the 10-year run of 1851 through 1861... No more free people of color.. and of course they would make you think that every white person owned a slave.

Witnessing Reagan bend the knee cutting social security on the hard-working man and woman. I explained to him well this is your fault. In 1978 you gave a corporation a human right. Enabling it to fund city and state elections. State law super seeds Federal law. So you have more power City and statewide then you do federally. I explained about fractal lending social security and that they were doing no more than footing the bill for every elitist. Even college. Every study is done from our tax dollars. Moving forward hobby lobby 2014. See our courts were not supposed to be used to make laws. No but here we are. 2014 hobby lobby. Some of us nerds or geeks, we see you... Enabling a corporation to have a human right, they can now fund city, state, and Federal elections.. those are the people that make your laws. And FYI there are over 400 seats up for re-election.

Alessio helped me how to choose pasta, how to cook basic sauce and pasta and how to put basil, olive oil and even how to grate cheese on top (make it a powder). I wish you made more cooking videos! :) Maybe also Southern food recipies from Jessi!
I feel like the earlier president’s favorite food in this video might not be proper representation of what the actual food tasted like at the time, so it’s hard to actually judge.
Ok, hear me out on the cottage cheese and ketchup… As a young kid growing up in New England, hot dogs and baked beans was a common Saturday night supper. We usually had cottage cheese as a side for more protein, and I would put cottage cheese on my hotdog bun, then put the hot dog in and then some ketchup. It was delicious and I always crave it when I’m pregnant (with a side of pickles!)
I’ve never tried that. Sounds interesting but not sure if like it. However, my mom ate cottage cheese more like a dessert growing up. Had fruit on it. She never served it to us cause my dad didn’t like it that way so I’ve never tried it. But to me, same as yours. It sounds interesting but not sure I’d like it. I like salt and pepper on my cottage cheese.
I love cottage cheese with pineapple. I'm from the UK so you guys probably won't know this next Combo. But I love Crumpets, butter, marmite and cottage cheese. 😂 it's a required taste.
YES! Or curry herring with boiled egg! We have pickled herring here in the US but you can’t find the kind of rye bread as in Scandinavia. It just doesn’t taste the same without the bread 😅
Pickled herring is a thing in both Scandinavia and Eastern Europe and it tastes amazing with pan fried potatoes/onion and marinated tomatoes. It’s considered a lazy dinner.
You missed the point of country frying 'steak'. Country fried steak is a cheap cut of meat that is very tough [cube steak or a lower quality round steak. They have to tenderize it either with pounding it or a machine that puts hundreds of little cut across the meat. You have to batter it, to hide the fact the meat had to be tenderized. You don't use quality piece of beef, like you did.
I think because she had to pretend it was really squirrel because that's what the President loved. She knew she wouldn't have eaten squirrel in reality.
@@AndineLazurus Pretty sure it was canned beef stew. The beef looked very mechanically processed and squared off to me. I could be mistaken but it just looked canned to me.
This was quite a food history lesson about our president's favorite food.. Deep six the squirrel stew, pork rinds, and the cottage cheese with ketchup. You guys did a nice job. Thank you.
This is fun! As an American, I still know SO little of our US history, so I’m currently reading a biography of every president in order. I started this year and just finished John Quincy Adams. This video dovetails nicely with what I’m reading 😀

You owe it to yourself to try some fresh chicken fried steak. White pepper gravy. Hand cut fries. It's life changing! Also, as a Mississippi boy, those grits didn't look right. Much too dry. And that cottage cheese with ketchup! How is it a favorite food? Don't get me wrong, I like cottage cheese and I like ketchup. Separately. But there was a time when people liked pear halves with cottage cheese. And I dress pasta with cottage cheese and top it with a spicy homemade tomato sauce, so I guess I can't throw any stones.
Another fun filled episode. The fried pork skin is known in the UK as pork scratchings and my wife tells me that they contain good stuff, like omega 3 etc, I Love them. How about doing a Vlog on Pecorino and the different types and flavours thereof.
Us swedes eat pickled herring for every big holiday, BUT there are multiple flavours and are eaten with boiled potatoes, hard bread and other sides. I didn’t like it until I found a flavour for me and used the sides. Maybe try a Swedish julbord? 😊
My grandparents had German ancestry and added a bit of brown sugar to sauerkraut to eliminate the bitterness. We still do this when we cook kraut and pork.
Greetings from Hungary! In Hungary the beef stew called as goulash soup..thats the realy.. Alessios taste is very southern european...but europe is more than as italian and french kitchen. Thanks for the channel!
Yes, that's what bothered me, too! (Viennese here ...) The different "stew"-dishes needed to be cooked like goulash (or "ragout" in Italian): many hours! So the meat cannot be hard, but is soft and tender. And all the flavours mix together. Comfort food!
So fun to watch you guys eat the pickled herring 😂 In Denmark we eat it for lunch on ryebread, there are different flavours "sauce" the herring is pickled in, and you can do different toppings as well for an example raw oinion. Much better that way 😊
This was a fun video! I homeschool my daughter so we sat and watched it together. She said "this is educational". I'm surprised that the majority of the presidents had what I would consider normal food as a favorite.
Chicken fried steak. Use cubed beef steak, salt / pepper / paprika in flour, eggwash and double dredge, fry. Use flour, some sausage grease, salt, pepper to taste, milk for gravy. Mashed potatoes, use red potato, boil in salt water, mash with skins on, salt/pepper/white pepper to taste. Then drop butter into the hot mash, whisk until melted, then pour milk slowly while whisking for creaminess. Complete with chives if desired. Five star dining banquet and sous chef here. Its not hard, but must be done right.
With Jefferson and mac and cheese, his chef was James Hemings, his late wife’s half brother (and the older brother of Sally Hemings). James Hemings was freed on return from France, after he trained his replacement.
Chicken fricassee is SO good. Y'all should have made some, there are plenty of recipes online. My favorite one comes from my vintage 1976 Southern Living cookbook set. Yum! ♥
Ma native here. The boiled dinner is made with ham, not corned beef. Although there is a variation of boiled dinner that’s eaten on St. Patrick’s day ( but not always )
As a Mississippian I can say squirrel is real good especially in dumplings. Way better than chicken and dumplings. Nothing beats grandmas squirrel dumplings on a cold day
13:59 pickled herring is definitely an acquired taste, but I am Jewish and it is something I grew up eating, especially on holidays. So I love it but only a little bit at a time. You can also get it with a cream sauce, which is basically the same pickled herring but they stir in sour cream (I think) to the sauce and I prefer it that way. But if it was out on a table with just the pickled herring and onion sauce, I would still eat that.
I was just introduced to this if you get a corned beef roast (usually comes with the seasoning in package or already has it on it ) if not get pickling seasoning. Put it in the crockpot for about 6-8 hrs. Get some sourdough bread and provolone… we make our own coleslaw and add a little Serrano pepper to it (chop it really small) you can buy a pack of unmade coleslaw in vegetable section add some vinegar, mayo, sugar and lemon juice. You have homemade coleslaw. First of all the meat comes out so tender and amazing! Put the meat and provolone between two slices of buttered sourdough grill both sides. Add the Cole slaw to it… and you have the best sandwich you’ll ever eat!!! I know you probably think it’s sounds bad but I’m telling you it’s AMAZING!!! It’s one of our families favorites!! What you saw they ate is not how this turns out this meat is so tender it just false apart and melts in your mouth!
Clams are not fish, they are a type of mussel. And john f kennedy is from Massachusetts and they love clam chowder. Pork rinds is really just fried pork skin. KFC original fried chicken isnt really crispy, its more of a softer fried chicken that isnt actually fried, its pressure cooked in pressure cookers.
As a Texan, I'm concerned about whatever was on that plate that you were calling chicken fried steak. I don't know what that was, but it didn't resemble any CFS I have ever seen or eaten. No wonder you think don't like it... lol
George: "Look at that delicious hoe cake!" Martha: "What did you just said?" George: "Er... in that bakery... my favourite food, yes!" Martha: 🤨 George: 😅
I grew up 40 miles east of Vincennes, Indiana where George William Harrison lived. I grew up eating squirrel , rabbit, and carp and buffalo fish. I haven't eaten these foods in over 50 years.
New England boiled dinner is made from smokes pork hocks potatoes carrots onions and cabbage. Cooked together in one pot like a stew. What you made was corned beef without cabbage.
New englander here, you have to boil everything together, so the salty meat flavors the veggies and potatoes. You put loads of butter on it and serve it with a side of mustard (with whole mustard seeds) and horseradish sauce. Try it again, you'll love it.
Au contraire mon frere! John Quincy Adams planted fruit trees at the White House. After his presidency, he planted an orchard containing peaches, apples, plums and apricots at his home at (of course) Quincy, Mass. Google peach picking in Massachusetts and several farms will pop up. It is a challenge to grow peaches there, but some varieties are heartier and more suited to the climate. 🍑
Martin van Buren was the first president born here, and he was the only one who spoke English as his second language. He grew up in a Dutch community in New York.
Every President in our history was born in this country. The first 8 were born in America when it was the 13 colonies; the rest post-war when we became the United States of America.
New England clam chowder is something that can be terrible or absolutely divine. Depends on preparation, and none of the canned preps are ever any good.
@@GilbertDigby and it can be in a wine sauce, or in a cream sauce, or with mustard flavoring, or with dill. The onions in the sauce also can be pickled and add to the flavor. And the darker the bread, the heartier the flavor. 🙂
@@CarstenBreidahl right! It is not a “main dish” that is fine eaten by itself, like a roast or stew, but is more like a side dish, best with other items.
Is that beef stew from a can??? I mean, that stuff is nasty. Homemade beef stew with a healthy splash of red wine and fresh herbs is incredible. Okay, moving further along, some of these foods are horrible looking. Are they frozen? I mean, clam chowder is excellent but not from a can or a container, it has to be homemade. The chicken fried steak didn't even look like chicken fried steak. There again, outstanding when prepared properly. Sorry, but I've been a professional cook, I can't help myself 😄
Leather britches are beans dried until basically dehydrated, then cooked with pork slowly. The droed beans soak up 10x the flavor and have a better flavor by themselves in general.
In the north of Europe (Sweden here) we love pickled herring. But what do you expect from a jar? When you do it right it is a delight. In the summer it is more accepteble to explore new recipes. A new one is with lemon zest and it is lovely. You can also do it with chili and herbs. We also have a lot with dairy (sour cream) but me personally think herring and dairy can be a little tricky.
not a political thing. It's because when we were researching for the thumbnail, we saw all the analytics that people are more likely to click a thumbnail with trump in it rather than Biden, so that's why he's there lol
Well, it feels political as it’s inaccurate. And an actual real problem is that some insane Q people actually believe he won the election and is still president. We are on the verge of a civil war possibly, so to be this tone deaf is super ridiculous to me. I thought you were both so much smarter than this.
Pickled herring was somewhat of a staple in my family, and I love it. And clam chowder is super yummm...both New England and Manhattan. And chicken fried steak is so delish. I could possibly even get behind squirrel stew? Maybe?? But cottage cheese and ketchup...the texture and flavor? 🤢 Pot roast should really melt in your mouth, too. Give me all the black jelly beans! Pork rinds are such a great snack! I'm a pass of fast food...in general. And Dubbya can keep his cheeseburger pizza. Leave pizza alone! I can't eat ice cream...but my partner can't keep it in the freezer cuz it would disappear. I see you wearing blue! I hope it's a nod in the right direction. Please vote blue!!!!! 💙
Chicken Fried Steak has to be made correctly. You don't just take a piece of steak, bread it and fry it. You have to take a piece of thin steak, I use Round Steak, pound it until it's thin and tender, then dip the pieces in flour/milk/flour, then fry it. Then you make gravy with the leftover drippings and serve with mashed potatoes. It's amazing!
Yes. It’s comfort food at its finest. You can’t confuse steak with CFS. You can’t order one and expect the other.
100!
Actually it's better if it's not thin. It dries out too quickly. But it does have to be tenderized. You can beat it with a meat mallet or ask the butcher to tenderize it for you. Thin looks pretty but us usually dry as a shoe.

Domestic rabbit would be a closer alternative than beef.
I had squirrel stew in Tennessee and it's pretty good. The one I had, had little dumplings in it too.
The tricky part about squirrels I have learned from Oregon Trail edutainment game: You spend more on bullets to get squirrel meat than you would if you just bought hard tack at the fort!
Big pass on McDonalds cheese burger.
You all need the real clam chowder homemade, not from a can. There is a BIG difference! Alessio would love it!
If you ever visit Boston, try the real clam chowder there. Guarantee it will go from pass to smash.
100%! Try some at a good restaurant on the California coast. The canned stuff isn't even the same food.
Hard pass for me. I've tasted it many places e.g. San Fransicsco, Boston, Maine, Oregon, Chicago et cetera and I never liked it.

I've made chicken fricassee and it is wonderful!!! Some of these I wish I could have made home made for you! So fun to see all these! Thanks guys!
Fully agree! Looked as if they just used canned food mostly. The fact, they ate sauerkraut directly from the jar, so, probably, not even heated, said it all...
Also, the beef stew looked very much ready-made.
As for chicken fricassee: it's so easy to be cooked... and so worth the effort!
A pity, they didn't take more effort there. They could easily have done it a long-term project and do one or two dishes per day, but preparing each of them in a proper way and really enjoy the food, they prepared. We wouldn't have known.
In the end, the presidents, most likely, had the best cooks around, so, comparing canned food to what most of the presidents liked, is just not a good match.
To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed. With Alessio, as an Italian, I would have suspected, they would be preparing everything freshly (except for the nowadays available fast food, of course).
I love you two - Jessi, you do such a great job with finding out the history of food before you highlight it. I also love how you show graphics. Thank you for all of the fun "escape and educational" videos. Keep em coming.
Thank you so much! We’re really glad you enjoyed it. I love history and interesting facts so this video was fun to put together!
EXCEPT THEY'RE TRUMP SUPPORTERS!!!
this is my favorite video of yours so far. Such a fun idea!
Yay! Thank you!
Pot roast- chuck roast, carrots and whole onions( peeled of course). Slow cooker. I pack of beefy onion Lipton soup, follow directions on pack. Make sure to season the meat. The beef will be super tender and so will the veggies. Serve with mashed potatoes if you want to. I add a half cup of red cooking wine to the soup mix before adding, is sooo good.
Sauerbraten
They didn't have a slow cooker way back then lol. I do all homemade from scratch so I still enjoy doing it in an actual pot with the veges but no soup. Beef bullion cube or packet if it isn't flavourful but it usually is.
@@ednaatluxton4918rofl “way back then” was the 70s when Ford was president 1974 to be specific, they most certainly had crock pots they came out in 1971.
I have always added butter, salt, and a little pepper to my corn cobs. It brings out the sweetness of the corn.
Try roasting it with mayo and Cheyanne pepper if you like spice, Sprinkle with care.
Ohhh; Mexican street corn (elote`)! So delicious! Starts with grilled, slightly charred, corn on the cob. Then, season with mayo, a hot
chili powder, and queso Fresca (a dry, crumbly, salty cheese). Or, just remove it from the cob and add the above seasonings. So good!
@@angelarasmussen1800 I'm a basic white bitch, and my spice level is very low. 😅
@@kaymcmahonclay7127 do they make it in a mild spice level? 😆
yes, you can just use regular Chilli powder.
What a cool idea! I started to cook through the USA alphabetically and what each state was known for, but I fizzled out. You've reignited the foodie flame!
I am doing that with the Spanish provinces ❤ it’s really challenging to find the quality ingredients sometimes, but soo worth it 😊
That sounds really fun actually! Get back into it! Which state was your favorite so far?
Instead of lobster rolls for Maine there are some less typical options despite it always being the one on lists. Wild Maine blueberries are world famous. The birthplace of many of the most beloved donuts. I just feel like the lobster roll has been over done and obsessed over.
@@ThePasinis California gave us the Cobb Salad, which was a feast for the eyes heaped in gorgeous rows. In each state I did an appetizer, a main, and a dessert. My "favorite" was the Baked Alaska, which is not from Alaska, because the picture was so beautiful and my end result was a PERFECT "Nailed it" memeworthy melting mess. Ugly and delicious. Please take up the quest for me. ❤❤❤ Pace yourselves. Hunger is the best spice.

In Scandinavia where pickled herring originates from we normaly put it on a slice of buttered rye bread topped with raw onion rings and other garnish like dill or capers. eating on itself with no garnish on top is just wrong. If I took a big chunk of gorgonzola and said it tasted horrible on its own then most italians will probely tell me to combine it in some sort of dish to change my mind.
Actually, I love it right out of the jar. When I was a kid, my Aunt would keep a jar in the refrigerator just for me, when I visited her.
@@jaehaspels9607 I used to live near a store that made their own pickled herring. It was much better than what you get in a jar.
@@carlr2837 You're right about that. There was a store in the next town that made their own pickled herring and it was delicious too. But when you don't live near the store, the jarred is good enough.
I am part Scandinavian and guess that is why I love the pickled herrings so much...plus rye bread...all things Scandinavian. lol
@@paanne1013 I'm half Danish myself, and I think you're onto something. A definite yes to the rye bread, too. It probably is hereditary - my ex didn't like anything Scandanavian, so I get it more often now. I have herring in the fridge, and rye bread in the pantry. ;)
John Adams "His highness"?! LOL 😂. Like a king.
Well he was born a British subject…
No. A King you adress as "Majesty" not "Highness". This is the adress for Dukes.
@@Visitkarte Well there is a presidential candidate who WANTS to be king/ dictator.
I think the full title was “His Highness, the President of the United States of America and the Protector of their Liberties” 😅
@@tichtran664yup. Kamaltoe
Pickled herring is common in Scandinavian countries; as part of a “Smorgasbord” buffet, having it with hearty rye bread, cold meats, smoked salmon with dill, various cheeses, pickled cucumbers, boiled onions, beet salad, and potatoes - it can be delicious because it adds a saltiness, tartness and smooth texture.
yes, I love pickled herring:) and I am Mexican, come on - give it another try
Ok maybe we need to try it in combination with things rather than by itself haha
@@ThePasinis If you can find a good Scandinavian restaurant that serves a nice Smorgasbord, or a good Jewish deli, it might be a fun experience!
I always ate it on top of a cracker! So yummy 😊
@@madelinegoshgarian640 yes, the contrast of flavor and texture was important.
Leather britches “green beans and bacon” are a specific type of way to preserve green beans. They’re picked whole, strung on thread, then slowly dried.
When cooked, they have to be reconstituted with water, and usually cooked with bacon because of the grease.
My experience puts chicken as a closer sub for squirrel. We usually had squirrel gravy over biscuits.
Ham and corn bread was likely soupier cooked ham, use the corn bread to wipe the plate.
I agree with all of that. Although I never cared for squirrel, my Dad loved it.
I'm thinking squirrel stew is like Brunswick stew.
What a fun video! I have to say that pasta with butter and cheese has always been one of my go-to meals. From childhood until now, well into adult hood, I still love simple buttered pasta with Parmigiana Reggiano cheese. I like it with almost any pasta, but I like it best I think with Spaghetti Rigati. It's simple and comforting and always good no matter how you're feeling or what the weather is outside. ❤
You really missed out on the chicken fricassee, I make it all the time using an old French recipe, and everyone who tries it always loves it. Gem of a traditional recipe.
being from Massachusetts, if you ever come up this way you must try a bowl up here because that bowl of clam chowda looked sad lol
and lobster bisqu
That was definitely some Campbell's or Progresso clam chowder. Definitely not the good stuff.
@@avantgardenxyes, definitely not good. A good bowl of it is wonderful! He'd enjoy, even if she can't eat it.
@@avantgardenxAgree. Most of the food looked sad and, actually, canned. Them eating sauerkraut directly from the jar told it all. Not even heated... *brr*
Also the beef stew looked canned. 😞
But the clam chowder was the worst. And it can be really good, if done well...
I was thinking that was definitely not authentic clam chowder haha looked like Campbell
The amount of time it probably took to make this video for us is so much appreciated. Had so much fun watching. Thank you both!❤
You guys are great!! New England boiled dinner if you aren’t Irish is a smoked shoulder (pork/ham), carrots, potatos, onions and turnip. A blast from my Maine past!
Oh! I always thought it was made with corned beef; not pork!?
@@kaymcmahonclay7127it's adjustable based on what you have really. Each family developed preferred versions as refrigeration came along and choice meats were more easily available.
We use smoked port shoulder too. It is amazing.
Clam chowder is wonderful when made from scratch !
Back in the 80s when Jelly Bellies came out, they were really revolutionary. Before that you only got the kind of jelly beans that came in Easter eggs. The fact that Jelly Bellies had all these different flavors and you can mix and match them like peanut butter and jelly, made them really novel.
Oooo mix and match? Didn’t even think about that!
Didn't like Jelly Belly. But, I like the old fashioned large jelly beans.
@@lindacruz7378 I like the old fashioned ones too. I like to nibble the crunchy sugary part of the outside before eating the jelly part of the inside.
I just have a texture issue with anything remotely like a jelly bean. More for you all.
@@ThePasinis - There are so many different flavors of Jelly Bellies and they do taste like what they say they are.
The biggest shock was Jessi enjoying the Cheeseburger Pizza. Be careful of the ever vigilant Alessio and his tingling Italian senses! 🤣
He liked it too but he was angry about it lol
That looked like canned beef stew… which I can understand why it is pass, well at least the first time you tried it. Why not make real beef stew? So good and not even in the same category as canned stew. It makes me shudder. Canned stew is like giving Alessio spaghettios as a representation of Italian spaghetti lol.
Chicken and white gravy is made by making a roux with the chicken grease left over from frying it and then turned into a cream gravy and it’s amazing and even better than pepper or country gravy. It would be so cool to see Alessio learn to make American classics.
Ditto to clam chowder and pot roast, has to be home made, I doubt these presidents were eating pre packaged stuff until we got to jelly belly’s lol. Interesting video though.
Who cares
I've always preferred brown gravy to the pasty white stuff.
@@TrueNorth1217 Obviously, you don't. Why did you bother saying that?
What they showed as beef stew looked like vegetable soup. Never seen any stew with such a runny liquid.
@@tanikokishimoto1604 It shouldn't be pasty, all white gravy variations based on bechamel sauce.
Well when you grow up eating certain food, you will love it throughout your life. You aren’t very likely to change your mind about it even if you get richer and become able to eat more expensive food.
So true! Food is very nostalgic and comforting. Brings you back to your roots!
@@ThePasinis That's why some parents (mothers generally, but some fathers too) take pride in giving a good culinary education/experience to their children..... I am blessed to have a mother that's a good cook, but not every mother likes to cook. At least, if the mother doesn't really cook but treat her children well with some balanced meals that are thought and done with love and care, that's perfectly fine too. Preparing meals is a proof of love. Meals are pleasure. Here in France, eating is very important. We're hedonist about that, like Italians. Roman brothers.
@@ThePasinisthis comment is... A rabbit hole.. 🕳️ I suggest in some free time. Jumping. What I am handing you. Is going to change the way that you have seen the world and history.
What these elites have done. And the manipulation of food. I'm only 16 minutes and 43 seconds in. I'm not joking a dead buffalo was a dead indian. And our own government came through and killed millions.
How did they do so? From the sky with zeppelin's. Using Archimedes mirror Greek fire technology. Just like maui. Just like Paradise California. Just like texas. Just like wyoming. Just like Turkey. Just like Greece.. just like Italy. Remember whenever America's military was off your coast and homes were catching on fire. Tornadoes. Earthquakes. They hit you with frequency technology.. same thing as they're doing today..
I cannot stress there is no new technology under the sun. They stole it..
All of the president's favorite meals. Definitely not buffalo. A dead buffalo is a dead Indian. Just as our system is being terraformed right now. Farming. Agriculture.. same thing happened back then. They took everything off your menu and sold you hogs chicken and cattle.
Of course they would pick their favorite proteins to be the exact proteins that they took over and want you to buy. Talk about the mob.
How does a corporation having a human rights affect you? How does it affect your laws, how does it affect your voting? Fyi. This goes back to the thieving of America, thieving of the railroad. Seed of corporate power 1866 1868. Of course that was right after the 10-year run of 1851 through 1861... No more free people of color.. and of course they would make you think that every white person owned a slave. No it's the people in office that own your slaves. Not every day people. Not people with light skin. It doesn't matter the color of your skin every one of us is enslaved.

I pointed out to my grandfather when I was 8 years old. Witnessing Reagan bend the knee cutting social security on the hard-working man and woman. I explained to him well this is your fault. In 1978 you gave a corporation a human right. Enabling it to fund city and state elections. State law super seeds Federal law. So you have more power City and statewide then you do federally.
I explained about fractal lending social security and that they were doing no more than footing the bill for every elitist. Even college. Every study is done from our tax dollars.
Moving forward hobby lobby 2014. See our courts were not supposed to be used to make laws. No but here we are. 2014 hobby lobby. Some of us nerds or geeks, we see you... Enabling a corporation to have a human right, they can now fund city, state, and Federal elections.. those are the people that make your laws. And FYI there are over 400 seats up for re-election.

When I was 8 years old I read a true story of royalty. A whole bunch of stories shoved in a book. .. of what it was like to be royal..
One of the stories changed my life. Change my perspective on everything. I was seven when I read it..
A king arguing to his upper constituents, these are the real men in charge. The king states. You must fund a war.. the rich men at the table laughed at him. Why would we do that? People pay us money in tax. If they can't pay us in tax, we will take it in their goods. And if they don't produce goods then we will use them. Why would we ever start a war. We own everything. And life is good.
The king walked around the room. Grabbed the meat from one man's mouth. Grab the cloak and fur and jewels from another's shoulders. Grabbed a large gold goblet full of wine. He sat down with his new findings. Eating his meat. Checking out his new duds.. his outfit.
He said to the men as he chug down the wine. If you think a common man cannot be as wise, to be ordained by God because he claims to be so. If you think every lavish accruement we have attained ordained by God because we claim to be so.
If we do not keep them in perpetual emotion and motion against each other. Every lavish recruitment we have attained ordained by God will cease to exist. And social our Royal blood ties.
Yeah the next year after I witnessed Reagan and the attempt on his life. Oh I saw it plain as day. I was trying to convince my grandfather that we are all enslaved. We are not royalty. Everyone that goes into politics is royalty. Old Hollywood royalty and how it has changed. It's really dark. It's within our religion too.. you'll see.

Thank you for all of the effort that went into making this video!
Alessio helped me how to choose pasta, how to cook basic sauce and pasta and how to put basil, olive oil and even how to grate cheese on top (make it a powder). I wish you made more cooking videos! :) Maybe also Southern food recipies from Jessi!
You should do a series of Italian, UK and french prime ministers. This was a really cool idea
we was thinking about it! We try to see if people enjoy this video because it was a lot work! grazie mille per il commento
And Canadian prime ministers, too.
The pork rind reaction was PRICELESS.😅
I feel like the earlier president’s favorite food in this video might not be proper representation of what the actual food tasted like at the time, so it’s hard to actually judge.
I think nixon was trolling when he get asked about his fav food 😂😂
"He was not a crook".😂
Ok, hear me out on the cottage cheese and ketchup… As a young kid growing up in New England, hot dogs and baked beans was a common Saturday night supper. We usually had cottage cheese as a side for more protein, and I would put cottage cheese on my hotdog bun, then put the hot dog in and then some ketchup. It was delicious and I always crave it when I’m pregnant (with a side of pickles!)
With cottage cheese and pickles it's kind of like coleslaw on a hot dog which I have had and like, might have to try your way sometime.
I’ve never tried that. Sounds interesting but not sure if like it. However, my mom ate cottage cheese more like a dessert growing up. Had fruit on it. She never served it to us cause my dad didn’t like it that way so I’ve never tried it. But to me, same as yours. It sounds interesting but not sure I’d like it. I like salt and pepper on my cottage cheese.
I love cottage cheese with pineapple. I'm from the UK so you guys probably won't know this next Combo. But I love Crumpets, butter, marmite and cottage cheese. 😂 it's a required taste.
I love cottage cheese with El Pato Mexican tomato sauce.
@MCrvngraddip2013 Mmmm, the crumpets with butter and marmite sounds good.
Pickled herring is eaten in northern Europe on rye bread with raw onion😅
You are right! For that reason I am glad to be half Bavarian and half Italian.😅😅
And eaten like that, it's delicious. Rough-cut orange marmalade on rye bread is good too.
@@stephensmith2601 With the orange marmelade on rye bread I am with you.
YES! Or curry herring with boiled egg! We have pickled herring here in the US but you can’t find the kind of rye bread as in Scandinavia. It just doesn’t taste the same without the bread 😅
Pickled herring is a thing in both Scandinavia and Eastern Europe and it tastes amazing with pan fried potatoes/onion and marinated tomatoes. It’s considered a lazy dinner.
You missed the point of country frying 'steak'. Country fried steak is a cheap cut of meat that is very tough [cube steak or a lower quality round steak. They have to tenderize it either with pounding it or a machine that puts hundreds of little cut across the meat. You have to batter it, to hide the fact the meat had to be tenderized.
You don't use quality piece of beef, like you did.
Jessi: "What should we do after filming this?"
Alessio: "smash"
How did you pass the beef stew when you pretended it was squirrel but loved it when it was just beef stew lol
I came to say the same thing, she literally said it being beef didn't save it, and then smashed the beef stew later. XD
I think because she had to pretend it was really squirrel because that's what the President loved. She knew she wouldn't have eaten squirrel in reality.
I think from the look of it, it was two different recipes. I could be wrong though.
@@AndineLazurus Pretty sure it was canned beef stew. The beef looked very mechanically processed and squared off to me. I could be mistaken but it just looked canned to me.
@@LordLOCyes definitely canned, but maybe two different brands?
This was quite a food history lesson about our president's favorite food.. Deep six the squirrel stew, pork rinds, and the cottage cheese with ketchup. You guys did a nice job. Thank you.
This is fun! As an American, I still know SO little of our US history, so I’m currently reading a biography of every president in order. I started this year and just finished John Quincy Adams. This video dovetails nicely with what I’m reading 😀
You have a ways to go, but you will love David McCullough’s “Truman.”
@ I bought it already since I loved his Biography on John Adams!
I have eaten lots of squirrel in my younger days! Thanks Jeffrey. I love it its delishious. When you have hungry babies, you feed them
Squirrel is very good. My preferred way too fix it is with dumplings and gravy.
I grew up on wild meat. I would try squirrel.
@@Ccamero123 i think a lot of people just see a cute little squirrel and can’t get past that, same with rabbits. Wild meat is fantastic!!
@@PamelaWelsh-w8z I’ve eaten wild rabbits too. If my Dad didn’t hunt we wouldn’t have eaten.
I've rehabbed a lot of baby squirrels, and I could never eat them. They were so much fun to have around!
Mamie Eisenhower’s fudge recipe from the Eisenhower library
Mamie’s Million Dollar Fudge
4 1/2 cups sugar
pinch of salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 tall can evaporated milk
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bits
12 ounces German-sweet chocolate
1 pint marshmallow cream
2 cups nutmeats
Boil the sugar, salt, butter, evaporated milk together for six minutes.
Put chocolate bits and German chocolate, marshmallow cream and nutmeats in a bowl.
Pour the boiling syrup over the ingredients. Beat until chocolate is all melted, then pour
in pan. Let stand a few hours before cutting.
Remember it is better the second day. Store in tin box
You owe it to yourself to try some fresh chicken fried steak. White pepper gravy. Hand cut fries. It's life changing! Also, as a Mississippi boy, those grits didn't look right. Much too dry. And that cottage cheese with ketchup! How is it a favorite food? Don't get me wrong, I like cottage cheese and I like ketchup. Separately. But there was a time when people liked pear halves with cottage cheese. And I dress pasta with cottage cheese and top it with a spicy homemade tomato sauce, so I guess I can't throw any stones.
Wow what a big job you did!
Clam chowder is good if it's well-made from scratch, not out of a can.
Another fun filled episode.
The fried pork skin is known in the UK as pork scratchings and my wife tells me that they contain good stuff, like omega 3 etc, I Love them.
How about doing a Vlog on Pecorino and the different types and flavours thereof.
Us swedes eat pickled herring for every big holiday, BUT there are multiple flavours and are eaten with boiled potatoes, hard bread and other sides. I didn’t like it until I found a flavour for me and used the sides. Maybe try a Swedish julbord? 😊
Grover “ what on the world “ lol lol 🤣🤣🤣 I laughed out loud that was so funny 👍👍
Imagine if one of the presidents favourite foods was Olive Garden's Chicken and Shrimp carbonara...
😅
Chicken fried steak is usually made with a cheap cut of beef. They tenderize the meat and fry it.
What a great idea 💡!!! This was a lot of fun to watch. I also loved the additional details you gave on each president. Molto grazie! ❤😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
My grandparents had German ancestry and added a bit of brown sugar to sauerkraut to eliminate the bitterness. We still do this when we cook kraut and pork.
Since i was a child.. parmesan and butter has been my favorite way to eat noodles. Im forty now and still love it.
Leather britches in my area means.. dried beans (dehydrated) then cooked. It totally changes the taste of the beans.
Greetings from Hungary!
In Hungary the beef stew called as goulash soup..thats the realy..
Alessios taste is very southern european...but europe is more than as italian and french kitchen.
Thanks for the channel!
Yes, that's what bothered me, too! (Viennese here ...)
The different "stew"-dishes needed to be cooked like goulash (or "ragout" in Italian): many hours! So the meat cannot be hard, but is soft and tender. And all the flavours mix together. Comfort food!
So fun to watch you guys eat the pickled herring 😂 In Denmark we eat it for lunch on ryebread, there are different flavours "sauce" the herring is pickled in, and you can do different toppings as well for an example raw oinion. Much better that way 😊
the last president being in the thumbnail makes it look as if this video was made years ago lol
This was a fun video! I homeschool my daughter so we sat and watched it together. She said "this is educational". I'm surprised that the majority of the presidents had what I would consider normal food as a favorite.
6:50 Beef and Squirrel would not be equivalent. Rabbit maybe
Beef stew is NO WHERE NEAR squirrel stew!!!
Ya they definitely need to try real squirrel stew.
Chicken fried steak. Use cubed beef steak, salt / pepper / paprika in flour, eggwash and double dredge, fry. Use flour, some sausage grease, salt, pepper to taste, milk for gravy. Mashed potatoes, use red potato, boil in salt water, mash with skins on, salt/pepper/white pepper to taste. Then drop butter into the hot mash, whisk until melted, then pour milk slowly while whisking for creaminess. Complete with chives if desired. Five star dining banquet and sous chef here. Its not hard, but must be done right.
With Jefferson and mac and cheese, his chef was James Hemings, his late wife’s half brother (and the older brother of Sally Hemings). James Hemings was freed on return from France, after he trained his replacement.
Chicken fricassee is SO good. Y'all should have made some, there are plenty of recipes online. My favorite one comes from my vintage 1976 Southern Living cookbook set. Yum! ♥
Ma native here. The boiled dinner is made with ham, not corned beef. Although there is a variation of boiled dinner that’s eaten on St. Patrick’s day ( but not always )
Agreed about having the steak well done. Thanks for a great video 🎉
Aspetta aspetta...Jefferson adorava la pasta al burro con il parmigiano??? Respect!
As a Mississippian I can say squirrel is real good especially in dumplings. Way better than chicken and dumplings. Nothing beats grandmas squirrel dumplings on a cold day
To make chili better you need to add sour cream cheddar cheese and some fresh dice onion with a little bit of jalapenos
And Fritos
13:59 pickled herring is definitely an acquired taste, but I am Jewish and it is something I grew up eating, especially on holidays. So I love it but only a little bit at a time. You can also get it with a cream sauce, which is basically the same pickled herring but they stir in sour cream (I think) to the sauce and I prefer it that way. But if it was out on a table with just the pickled herring and onion sauce, I would still eat that.
Absolutely hysterical! Alessio likes Cheeseburger pizza! WE GOT HIM PEOPLE!
Ham and cornbread is usually served with pinto beans and green onions.
Ok, that wasn't Virginia smoked ham.
I was just introduced to this if you get a corned beef roast (usually comes with the seasoning in package or already has it on it ) if not get pickling seasoning. Put it in the crockpot for about 6-8 hrs. Get some sourdough bread and provolone… we make our own coleslaw and add a little Serrano pepper to it (chop it really small) you can buy a pack of unmade coleslaw in vegetable section add some vinegar, mayo, sugar and lemon juice. You have homemade coleslaw. First of all the meat comes out so tender and amazing! Put the meat and provolone between two slices of buttered sourdough grill both sides. Add the Cole slaw to it… and you have the best sandwich you’ll ever eat!!! I know you probably think it’s sounds bad but I’m telling you it’s AMAZING!!! It’s one of our families favorites!! What you saw they ate is not how this turns out this meat is so tender it just false apart and melts in your mouth!
Try your apple pie with cinnamon ice cream!! Total SMASH!
I've never heard of that! Does the supermarket sell a specific brand?
@@songbird989 I'm sorry, I don't know. I just had it at a restaurant in New Mexico, and it was delicious! 🤠
Similar cus I never heard of cinnamon ice cream: Apple crisp with ice cream, or traditional apple pie with vanilla ice cream and cinnamon on top 😭
This was great!! Wonderful idea! ❤
Clams are not fish, they are a type of mussel. And john f kennedy is from Massachusetts and they love clam chowder. Pork rinds is really just fried pork skin. KFC original fried chicken isnt really crispy, its more of a softer fried chicken that isnt actually fried, its pressure cooked in pressure cookers.
I didn’t know that! Seems like false advertising. 😅 I have heard that Chick-fil-A is pressure cooked.
You guys are a lot of fun to watch! Binged several videos now and love them!
That’s not chicken fried steak
I know. I didn’t recognize what that was. 😅😅
As a Texan, I'm concerned about whatever was on that plate that you were calling chicken fried steak. I don't know what that was, but it didn't resemble any CFS I have ever seen or eaten. No wonder you think don't like it... lol
George: "Look at that delicious hoe cake!"
Martha: "What did you just said?"
George: "Er... in that bakery... my favourite food, yes!"
Martha: 🤨
George: 😅
I grew up 40 miles east of Vincennes, Indiana where George William Harrison lived. I grew up eating squirrel , rabbit, and carp and buffalo fish. I haven't eaten these foods in over 50 years.
I came to see Alessio eating squirrel. I want my money back 🤨
10:20 BTW Sauerkraut is Alsatian not german.
New England boiled dinner is made from smokes pork hocks potatoes carrots onions and cabbage. Cooked together in one pot like a stew. What you made was corned beef without cabbage.
New englander here, you have to boil everything together, so the salty meat flavors the veggies and potatoes. You put loads of butter on it and serve it with a side of mustard (with whole mustard seeds) and horseradish sauce. Try it again, you'll love it.
And you have to have cabbage in it.
He didn't have a peach tree in Boston that's for sure lmao ! I love these two they take me "home"
Au contraire mon frere! John Quincy Adams planted fruit trees at the White House. After his presidency, he planted an orchard containing peaches, apples, plums and apricots at his home at (of course) Quincy, Mass. Google peach picking in Massachusetts and several farms will pop up. It is a challenge to grow peaches there, but some varieties are heartier and more suited to the climate. 🍑
I grew up just north of Boston and we had a peach tree in our yard.
Martin van Buren was the first president born here, and he was the only one who spoke English as his second language. He grew up in a Dutch community in New York.
Nope. Washington was born here.
Every President in our history was born in this country. The first 8 were born in America when it was the 13 colonies; the rest post-war when we became the United States of America.
Loved it!!!! You guys put a lot of work into your videos and it shows.
Squirrel is good eatin.
New England clam chowder is something that can be terrible or absolutely divine. Depends on preparation, and none of the canned preps are ever any good.
Maybe that's the problem. I've only had canned clam chowder. But I find it disgusting. My family has New England roots, and my father loved it.
Pickle herring on pumpernickel bread sliced raw onions and mayonnaise. It’s an awesome sandwich.
I prefer pickled herring with hot boiled (peeled) potatoes.
@@GilbertDigby and it can be in a wine sauce, or in a cream sauce, or with mustard flavoring, or with dill. The onions in the sauce also can be pickled and add to the flavor. And the darker the bread, the heartier the flavor. 🙂
@jennifer1329 Pickled herring with pan fried potatoes with onion or mashed potatoes with marinated tomatoes on the side is such a great combo.
I'm watching this while literally shoving honey ham in my mouth as part of my grazing lunch. 😂
Come on guys ... pickled heering is a stable in Denmark, served on rye bread with raw onion rings 😀
@@CarstenBreidahl right! It is not a “main dish” that is fine eaten by itself, like a roast or stew, but is more like a side dish, best with other items.
@@Dej24601 Well ... yes it can be a main dish, 'sildebord!
@@CarstenBreidahl true!
Very interesting. Love your videos. Blessings.
Is that beef stew from a can??? I mean, that stuff is nasty. Homemade beef stew with a healthy splash of red wine and fresh herbs is incredible. Okay, moving further along, some of these foods are horrible looking. Are they frozen? I mean, clam chowder is excellent but not from a can or a container, it has to be homemade. The chicken fried steak didn't even look like chicken fried steak. There again, outstanding when prepared properly. Sorry, but I've been a professional cook, I can't help myself 😄
I completely agree and came to say the same. These were terrible representations of what would be good food if not from a can.
Canned stew is disgusting.
You expected they make 50 gourmet meals?
Leather britches are beans dried until basically dehydrated, then cooked with pork slowly. The droed beans soak up 10x the flavor and have a better flavor by themselves in general.
But who is eating corn with hunks of butter on it??? You melt it over the kernels. Am I alone here?
Normally you would take the butter and spread it across the surface of the corn cob
In the north of Europe (Sweden here) we love pickled herring. But what do you expect from a jar? When you do it right it is a delight. In the summer it is more accepteble to explore new recipes. A new one is with lemon zest and it is lovely. You can also do it with chili and herbs. We also have a lot with dairy (sour cream) but me personally think herring and dairy can be a little tricky.
Franklin Roosevelt was the first physically disabled person to be President of the United States. How can you forget that important fact!
Poopin' Joe was our first MENTALLY disabled President.
It's not important for the video. The point is food, duh
You should rinse the jar of kraut and strain it then eat it. Some people also put a pinch of sugar and or caraway seeds in it
Nice and funny video as always. I don’t understand why you put Washington picture first (that is correct ) and then Trump now?
not a political thing. It's because when we were researching for the thumbnail, we saw all the analytics that people are more likely to click a thumbnail with trump in it rather than Biden, so that's why he's there lol
Well, it feels political as it’s inaccurate. And an actual real problem is that some insane Q people actually believe he won the election and is still president. We are on the verge of a civil war possibly, so to be this tone deaf is super ridiculous to me. I thought you were both so much smarter than this.
@@ThePasinisIt comes across as support that way, though. Disappointed, considering his views on immigration and IVF...
I love pickled herring on a cracker. Supposed to eat it at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve for a prosperous New Year 🎉
Pickled herring was somewhat of a staple in my family, and I love it. And clam chowder is super yummm...both New England and Manhattan. And chicken fried steak is so delish. I could possibly even get behind squirrel stew? Maybe?? But cottage cheese and ketchup...the texture and flavor? 🤢
Pot roast should really melt in your mouth, too. Give me all the black jelly beans! Pork rinds are such a great snack! I'm a pass of fast food...in general. And Dubbya can keep his cheeseburger pizza. Leave pizza alone! I can't eat ice cream...but my partner can't keep it in the freezer cuz it would disappear.
I see you wearing blue! I hope it's a nod in the right direction. Please vote blue!!!!! 💙
I LOVE YOUR FOOD VIDEOS! Lighthearted. God bless.
Some of the foods looked really poorly prepared. Not fair representations
Right
my favorite way to make sauerkraut is to add some apples and a pinch of brown sugar
