Doubly funny because I remember as a child, jokes going around like "Leave it to the Brits to colonize everything, take all the spices and never use them" lol.
It's depressing how bland our food is. We colonised the world to steal spices, yet have the most bland flavours and even a populace that says they don't do spice. Ridiculous.
They have so many different culture that brought all these international dishes with different spices and it’s ironic how the Brits don’t spice things up with their cuisines 😂
If you don't mind a bit of naughty humor.... (scroll down) . . . . . . . . . . Some of us in the crafting world call glitter the herpes of craft supplies. It never really goes away.
Christian saw an opportunity for some amazing advertising and he nailed it! This is for sure on my bucket list now. Simple, lighter desserts are fantastic.
There is something truly adorable about watching Josh say, "there's something very French about it" while eating a Cajun donut. Absolutely here for it.
@@meredith9687not beignets, thats a French word. Creole in Louisiana means mixed things. But originally it meant mixed French and native or Spanish and native. So yes, it is a Creole food, but was brought over by French people first.
There were Cajuns before the Accadians came down. They just became more of them. +90% of French immigrants came from Normandy, so they were all related. Still are with Quebecers and New Brunswickers.
I am so glad they visited New Orleans and showcased Cafe Du Monse and Brennan’s! So good! Bananas Foster is my all time favorite restaurant dessert! It is amazing at Brennan’s! Cafe Du Monse’s beignets are incredible too!
The tricky bit is remembering not to inhale whilst eating a beignet to avoid spending the rest of the day coughing up icing sugar. Their Cafe au Lait is the only milky coffee I'll drink.
Or EXHALE. Thru ur nose and right onto that PILE of sugar. I did that EXACT thing my first bite of beignet, my first trip to New Orleans when I was a child. Absolutely COVERED in powdered sugar and was for the rest of the day. It really is the glitter of baking LOL.
I did exactly this! :-P Also, I made the mistake of walking away from the shop after eating one of my 3 beignets...I attempted to eat one while walking and got covered in icing sugar. 😛
Hmm, I associate "seasoned" with savory dishes 🤔 Spiced could be savory or sweet dishes. (Spice Cake for example). However, I'd call them (unused) all seasonings or spices interchangeably.
@@TragoudistrosMPH I think the problem is largely that the words are used interchangeably at this point and attempting to remove that is like trying to put paste back in the tube without time travel. It's just messy and ends up causing more problems than it solves.
As a New Orleans native, especially one who's worked throughout the culinary industry there, I love seeing people try our most famous and loved foods (we have /so/ many btw, not just a handful). Food is whole different beast here, there is pride and perfection in all things food, drink, and music here, but done in an unpretentious way. I'm glad ya'll decided to head to New Orleans, and to do it the right way. Whoever helped ya'll pick out the restaurants, did an excellent job.
if you're part of that city's culinary industry you must be proud. I just ate as much as i could for 3 days there. Everything was so damn good. We missed Crawfish Season, so i'll have to go back for MORE ! Your city's food is AMAZING with endless choices.
I think that's the first time I've seen Ollie so speechless over a dessert, but with such joy and wonder on his face at the same time, like someone just answered a question he's been asking his whole life.
I love Korean Englishman A LOT but Jolly is special. I’m not just learning about food, it’s also packed with travel and history content. These two lads need to do this on a bigger scale, not only are they the friendliest people but also curious enough to try different things and always open minded. Them traveling and exploring new places through food is my most favorite thing to watch 😊
It took me years to realize that Jolly is a mash up of Josh + Ollie... Also, I think Josh is the main character... His special skill is surrounding himself with all the best people and sharing the best bits with everyone else.
@@Ca55per The main channel was Korean Englishman; Josh wanted to introduce his world to the Korean world he loved. Ollie was behind the camera for this (uni roommates and friends). It eventually grew into a real gig. Jolly came about specifically to have a space for Ollie to also be in front of the camera and for some more off-topic content that wouldn't fit on Korean Englishman. You should really go through the back catalogue of both for some good times. A lot of that community you see comes from Ollie and his production behind the scenes. Rev Chris is his brother-in-law, as their wives are sisters. They even lived together for a time. Ollie pulled Josh into his world just as much as Josh has shared Korea.
A bit of waitering history then - there was a time back in the 50's to 70's that waiters in high end restaurants in most cities could back Bananas Foster and Cherries Jubilee tableside. They could also properly serve whole fish tableside, using a spoon and fork to peel the skin off in one piece, take off the filet cleanly and not in chunks, and serve them boneless. Then take out the bone to leave the other half. And look elegant doing it. That pretty much disappeared by the early 90's.
As a Southerner, you just learn to keep your eyes open. Mosquitoes and Spiders are easy enough to deal with. Snakes are easy to avoid if you know what to look for. Tornadoes don’t happen as often as the movies and they aren’t always as bad as the movies either.
I immigrated to the south and I think the food and hospitality alone are worth dealing with the hurricanes and all of that haha! Don't know if it's just me but over time we get used to the heat and critters and it's just normal and doesn't bother one bit.
This America series is so good, you should do each region in the U.S!! So many different regional food and drinks to try that are all specific to those places only! Come to Boston and New Hampshire and New England, we’d love to have you and hear your opinions on the nature, and food and everything here! Check out the white mountains, big cities like Boston and the coast of Maine!
Beignet is French for donut or fritter, actually. We have them with so many flavors, some sweet, some savoury. You can find sugar beignets like in New Orleans, jam beignet, chocolate beignet, apple beignet, cheese beignet, fish fbeignets (acras), etc...the list goes on...
If you ever make it to San Francisco. You have to try Brenda's They make beignets with Ghirardelli chocolate that is very good. Brenda is from New Orleans so she knows her Louisiana cooking. You will not leave disappointed.
I was surprised they hadn’t heard of beignets before since they’re European and we have different beignets here too due to the French, I really thought it was a bit at first when they couldn’t pronounce it lol
We used to have a Mexican restaurant that did buffets on Sunday and they did their version of bananas Foster, but they sliced the bananas into chips and added sliced strawberries. They used rum. Unfortunately, the city told them they couldn't serve "alcohol" on Sunday, even though the alcohol was burned off, so they stopped serving it. :(
Luke's face everytime he takes a bite of something always has a look of such surprise. Love it. Hope Jolly can make it to Central Grocery and Deli. Muffuletta is a must have when down in New Orleans.
If all else fails, you can order a muffuletta from Central Grocery from Goldbelly. Costs the Earth BUT WORTH EVERY CENT. If you gotta have it, you gotta have it!
@@TigerRose246 I have been tempted, but $100 for sandwiches is a pretty hard pill to swallow. I buy their olive salad and attempt to make at home, but I cannot find the right type of bread.
@@ryomatayoshi5903 Same here. Their muff bread is made locally in the city - so there's apparently something about the local water that makes it taste different. A few years ago there was a local restaurant featuring N.O. food (since closed. dammit). I sat there with tears streaming down my face - it was perfection. The owner said he got all his bread shipped to him from N.O. - he confirmed it was the water.
Really like how they are editing and prepping the videos these last few series, mostly because we are seeing more videos and they always make me happy.
9:02 - Interestingly Olly, English food used to be heavily spiced, to the point of being rather pungent. If you search medieval English food you can find videos that show what was traditionally eaten here for centuries. We actually used native herbs to season our salmon, our bacon, our pottage. It's really only with the wars and rationing that our cuisine became famously un-spiced, leading to the modern stereotype.
@@90smisfit That's the thing - We did. Of course they were mainly for commerce, but actually back in England spices were a sign of status, how many you had directly indicating how moneyed you were. Some of the oldest cookbooks known have heavily spiced English recipes in them from that time. I sometimes think that's why the English in general gravitate towards anglicised Indian food, because inherent in us is actually a preference for heavily spiced foods that simply had to be subdued from ww1 and ww2 onwards.
Love it when you have the guys (and girls) of your crew try the food. In camera; I know they try it always (or most likely), but seeing the joy and the experiences shared with more people is something I enjoy.
I also recommend trying Cherries Jubilee if you haven’t! It’s basically bananas foster, but with delicious tart cherries. I love that it’s a bit tangier than the bananas, so it’s got a nice balance to the sweet sauce.
"And i know you two are very healthy eaters,you do nothing but eat vegetables and drinks alot of water." I just love how Christian is joking and having fun with Josh and Ollie lol.
Watching this, as a native Southeast Louisiana Cajun I'm a little embarrassed because I haven't eaten a beignet in 15 years, but the taste and texture are so defined you never forget what they taste like. You guys were spot on with the " like a deep fried baguette ". Perfectly illustrated. The sour dough flavor, the crispy outside and the dense, moist inside.
i live on the missippi beach about an hour from nola. there is a casino here with the best beignets. i used to go there at sunrise and get a screwdriver and a jelly/jam sampler on a ski (like a flight of beer, just jams and preserves) grab a bag full of fresh beignets, and sit under a palm tree on a massive terrace overlooking the gulf, read a newspaper, and enjoy my morning vodka drink in solitude while watching the gulf coast wake up and get some sun. i'll take those beignets over nola's any day. and u don't have to smell mule poop/human piss and deal w tourists or wait in lines.
Olly's face looks like he's been transported into a world made of his happiest childhood memories, and Luke's face looks like he has fallen in love, and Ducky's face suddenly is so serious. [chef's kiss] Now I want to recreate this, too! But what kind of rum, and what kind of banana liquor? I've never even heard of banana liquor... this could be a good, good, good thing...!
A double dose of episodes 👏 first KE and now Jolly!! I love how you guys travel internationally and bring these dishes back to the U.K and introduce them to others.

Watching these past few videos all starring my home state Louisiana has made me the happiest gal of all time! Seeing y’all’s reactions to all the good that you encountered here in this state has made me smile more times in a month than I can remember! Thank you for coming down here and enjoying all the good food and hospitality we share 🙌
The warm banana is something my dad used to do , abit of brown sugar in the frying pan, caramelises then add the banana then put over vanilla ice cream, Pineapple cooked the same way is also very tasty
beignet is pronounced like "been-yae" glad to see you guys made it to Louisiana. There is also a difference in Cajun cooking and Creole cooking. Creole cooking is more tomato based and Cajun is more rue based. So you could go back have same dishes in Cajun style and get completely different dish. Chicory in coffee is the bomb hope you tried it!! The Southern States are KNOWN for their hospitality and insane cooking. Glad you guys got a taste!
Both styles of cooking use a roux. Creole cooking is a mix of French, Spanish and African cultures. Cajun cuisine is basically French peasant food, from the Acadiens who left France because of religious beliefs.
Traditionally in France, beignets (or bugnes) are eaten during Christian Lent. It originally came from the Duchy of Savoy (fifteenth century) and it is now a very popular dessert from the city of Lyon. I remember my grand-mother making those during my school holidays when I was a child, great memories!
Bugnes et beignets, ce n'est pas tout à fait la même recette. De plus les bugnes Lyonnaises ne ressemblent pas à celle qu'on fait dans d'autres régions - ne serait ce que chez moi qui suis juste 100 km plus au sud. Peu importe tous sont délicieux 😋
@@furansujinkaeru Oui complètement! Comment sont faites celles de chez vous? Les beignets de la Nouvelle Orléans ressemblent exactement aux bugnes que je mange depuis tout petit dans le Rhône (d’où l’origine de mon commentaire) mais même à Lyon on en trouve plein de sortes différentes!
@@furansujinkaeru D’ailleurs je ne connais pas vraiment l’histoire des beignets de la Nouvelle Orléans et comment ils ont fini par prendre ce nom mais je trouve qu’ils ressemblent beaucoup plus à ce qu’on pourrait appeler « bugnes » en France plutôt que ce qu’on pourrait appeler « beignets ».
I had Banana's Foster when I was a child and it stuck with me forever (it's ok for kids the alcohol burns off). I make it at home all the time, it is a treat always.
Beignets are pronounced Bey-neys. They sell them everywhere in France 🇫🇷 but they’re more like large filled doughnuts over there. Usually with Nutella, Crème Anglaise (custard) or puréed fruit filling (not the chemically tasting ‘jam’ we have in the UK). I love them !
2:42 what’s crazy is that architecture is actually Spanish not French. When the Spanish bought Louisiana from France they started to develop it then the French bought it back but they kept the same architecture in the French quarter
I haven’t been ‘home’ to Louisiana since just before the Pandemic. You hit my spots in NAWLINS. Brennans makes a Brandy milk punch that we drink in honor of my mother who passed years ago. Thank you for making my day. ❤❤
Yeah, but I think they were only pretending to not know how to pronounce Beignets. They claimed there were so many people telling them they just HAD to go to Cafe du Monde, and not one of those people actually said the word "Beignets"?
Haha... "Something very Frenchy" I'd hope it taste like something from France. The beignet is literally a fried puff pastry originating in France. And the French are the ones who founded New Orleans, and actually Louisiana as a whole. It was originally called La Louisaine. It was a district of New France and was named after Louis XIV. The name New Orleans is dedicated to the Duke of Orléans.
So many Americans do not know the history of Louisiana nor do they understand what Cinco de Mayo is either. History is so important but so few bother to learn it.
I just love watching you two enjoy the different regions of American foods. We are for sure a melting pot of culinary delights. Keep the videos coming and enjoy the ride.
This was absolutely epic and so simple too. Loved the whole team thought they had an idea about the different desserts but then just being floored by the FLAVORS and execution. Cheers Everyone!
I love Café Du Monde, I would go there with my grandma when I was a kid and we'd buy stuff from them to make at home too. A large portion of my family is from New Orleans so I've been really enjoying these Louisiana videos so far ❤
My absolutely favorite dessert..Bananas Foster...UNBELIEVABLE! I had a chef prepare it for me for my 40th surprise birthday dinner...I will never forget it...
Only Josh and Ollie can have almost FOUR million viewers (more than many famous people btw…) and make everything “old New Orleans” and make me drool over Beignets which are nothing like you can get anywhere but New Orleans.
Or they could go to Maine and try the New England specific foods or head to Chicago/Wisconsin to try some upper Midwest hotdogs, pizza, and cheese curds.
@@richiebk79 Korean Englishman is their main channel focusing primarily on Korean content, while JOLLY is their second channel, which involves regular, non-Korean/International content.
Lol I love Brits saying "Why don't we add spice to things? It makes them so much better". Too honest and adorable.
Doubly funny because I remember as a child, jokes going around like "Leave it to the Brits to colonize everything, take all the spices and never use them" lol.
*take over the world for the spices*
*Never use them for anything*
It's depressing how bland our food is. We colonised the world to steal spices, yet have the most bland flavours and even a populace that says they don't do spice. Ridiculous.
They have so many different culture that brought all these international dishes with different spices and it’s ironic how the Brits don’t spice things up with their cuisines 😂
I use plenty of herbs and spices in my food - not sure where this comes from 🤷
My favorite is Luke always pretending like he won't like it just so he's immediately offered a bite. 😂
A trick up his sleeve
Shhhh 😂 Luke has the Jedi mind tricks haha
Lmao exactly he says “it can’t be that good” you can translate that to “shut up and give me a bite”
Or that he's uninterested in trying it then he always mows it down when they "convince" him to try it.

I love how Ollie called us "These tricky Americans!" for adding spice to desserts 😆💀
It’s a well worn joke but can’t be overstated: the British owned all the spices in the world and somehow managed to keep their food bland
I could not stop laughing. 😂🤣🤣

Ollie’s speechless reaction is my favorite. One, because it is undoubtedly genuine, two because it’s rare. You actually see him struggle with words. 🤣
Absolutely, its rare to see him not readily give up his food. And he always has a quip or funny comeback or anecdote.
He struggles because he is a dunce.
Decade after decade, Cafe du Monde never disappoints. Keep being a Jolly bright spot in this world, you guys.
Most gorgeous dessert on earth. Better than a Krispy Crème, if that’s possible 😜
When I'm in New Orleans on the river, I can always tell if I'm near the turnoff for Cafe Du Monde by how much beignet dust is on the sidewalk.
I actually STILL have the metal, napkin holder I stole from Cafe du Monde, 30 years ago. Allegedly.
I love how the say, “spiced,” instead of seasoned. They’ll probably get a kick out of that term though. 😂

Muffulettas across the street from Cafe Du Monde.
Hope they experience other parts of Louisiana too. Boudin balls, alligator sausage, meat pies, fried okra, etc 🤤
If all else fails, you can order a muffuletta from Central Grocery from Goldbelly. Costs the Earth BUT WORTH EVERY CENT. If you gotta have it, you gotta have it!
@@TigerRose246 I have been tempted, but $100 for sandwiches is a pretty hard pill to swallow. I buy their olive salad and attempt to make at home, but I cannot find the right type of bread.
@@ryomatayoshi5903 Same here. Their muff bread is made locally in the city - so there's apparently something about the local water that makes it taste different. A few years ago there was a local restaurant featuring N.O. food (since closed. dammit). I sat there with tears streaming down my face - it was perfection. The owner said he got all his bread shipped to him from N.O. - he confirmed it was the water.
Really like how they are editing and prepping the videos these last few series, mostly because we are seeing more videos and they always make me happy.
9:02 - Interestingly Olly, English food used to be heavily spiced, to the point of being rather pungent. If you search medieval English food you can find videos that show what was traditionally eaten here for centuries. We actually used native herbs to season our salmon, our bacon, our pottage. It's really only with the wars and rationing that our cuisine became famously un-spiced, leading to the modern stereotype.
Imagine going to war for the luxury of spices and not using them.
@@90smisfit That's the thing - We did. Of course they were mainly for commerce, but actually back in England spices were a sign of status, how many you had directly indicating how moneyed you were. Some of the oldest cookbooks known have heavily spiced English recipes in them from that time. I sometimes think that's why the English in general gravitate towards anglicised Indian food, because inherent in us is actually a preference for heavily spiced foods that simply had to be subdued from ww1 and ww2 onwards.
@@D4n1t0oI think that was entirely his point.
That is fascinating! Thanks for this comment. Makes a lot of sense.
I had no idea about this! Thanks for the interesting history lesson.
Love it when you have the guys (and girls) of your crew try the food. In camera; I know they try it always (or most likely), but seeing the joy and the experiences shared with more people is something I enjoy.
I also recommend trying Cherries Jubilee if you haven’t! It’s basically bananas foster, but with delicious tart cherries. I love that it’s a bit tangier than the bananas, so it’s got a nice balance to the sweet sauce.
I like seeing Josh and Ollie as Honorary Southerners.
Also, Beignets remind me of ‘The Princess and the Frog’.
The princess and the frog was set in New Orleans, so that makes since 😊
I LOVE Ollie and Josh's reaction BUT Luke's reaction is just so freaking innocent and sweet!! Love it!!
4:26 i LOVE the sincerity in Ollys voice, so real and honest.
I love that you are letting the camera guys partake. Fun to hear their reactions.
7:43 this whole handshake moment ollie looks so overwhelmed and dying of laughter afterwards for so long looool
"And i know you two are very healthy eaters,you do nothing but eat vegetables and drinks alot of water."
I just love how Christian is joking and having fun with Josh and Ollie lol.
I just love how they feed the crew as well. its so sweet
I love the smiles the crew gets when you share the food. :) they always look so happy to be there
Luke in these videos is absolutely killing me. It's amazing. His face when he took a bite like waiting for his next spoon full. 😅
I can watch these four gentlemen eat all day 😂 Ducky and Luke's reactions complete each videos
Cracks me up watching Luke try stuff - he gets that face like a child who just did something naughty and knows it! 😂😂😂
Watching this, as a native Southeast Louisiana Cajun I'm a little embarrassed because I haven't eaten a beignet in 15 years, but the taste and texture are so defined you never forget what they taste like. You guys were spot on with the " like a deep fried baguette ". Perfectly illustrated. The sour dough flavor, the crispy outside and the dense, moist inside.
I’m not a big dessert person, but beignets from cafe du monde might be one of my top five foods on the planet. Especially with a coffee.
It's simply just fried bread and a ton of sugar
i live on the missippi beach about an hour from nola. there is a casino here with the best beignets. i used to go there at sunrise and get a screwdriver and a jelly/jam sampler on a ski (like a flight of beer, just jams and preserves) grab a bag full of fresh beignets, and sit under a palm tree on a massive terrace overlooking the gulf, read a newspaper, and enjoy my morning vodka drink in solitude while watching the gulf coast wake up and get some sun. i'll take those beignets over nola's any day. and u don't have to smell mule poop/human piss and deal w tourists or wait in lines.
@bigt9374 youre simply 2 brain cells struggling to live
@@bigt9374 Sometimes simple things are the best. not everything has to be complex to be good.
@@jayson9999fulexactly. Pizza is just bread cheese and tomatoes, but at the right spot it’s another of life’s beautiful things.
Olly's face looks like he's been transported into a world made of his happiest childhood memories, and Luke's face looks like he has fallen in love, and Ducky's face suddenly is so serious. [chef's kiss] Now I want to recreate this, too! But what kind of rum, and what kind of banana liquor? I've never even heard of banana liquor... this could be a good, good, good thing...!
Ollie is such a humble human being! I just love him! ❤
I love watching all of you enjoying our Southern food and Southern hospitality.
It makes me so happy to see Josh and Ollie enjoying all the different parts of America
A double dose of episodes 👏 first KE and now Jolly!!

I love the way the boys share the yummy goodness off their own cutlery.
Lol, "Bay-Nets!" Love it. ❤
These two Brits make me proud to be an American
lol
Makes me a proud Austin, TX resident
@@EnyoStudioThe stupidity is woke cities, not the small towns.
@@EnyoStudio Maybe they earned it.
Watching these past few videos all starring my home state Louisiana has made me the happiest gal of all time! Seeing y’all’s reactions to all the good that you encountered here in this state has made me smile more times in a month than I can remember! Thank you for coming down here and enjoying all the good food and hospitality we share 🙌
Brilliant video! Love seeing you guys tour the globe and review local cuisine! Love the coming to America’ content
The warm banana is something my dad used to do , abit of brown sugar in the frying pan, caramelises then add the banana then put over vanilla ice cream,
Pineapple cooked the same way is also very tasty
beignet is pronounced like "been-yae" glad to see you guys made it to Louisiana. There is also a difference in Cajun cooking and Creole cooking. Creole cooking is more tomato based and Cajun is more rue based. So you could go back have same dishes in Cajun style and get completely different dish.
Chicory in coffee is the bomb hope you tried it!!
The Southern States are KNOWN for their hospitality and insane cooking. Glad you guys got a taste!
Its pronounces been-ye, since its a french word for a French dessert.
I like cajun style cooking, but get your etymologie right 😅
Both styles of cooking use a roux. Creole cooking is a mix of French, Spanish and African cultures. Cajun cuisine is basically French peasant food, from the Acadiens who left France because of religious beliefs.
Traditionally in France, beignets (or bugnes) are eaten during Christian Lent. It originally came from the Duchy of Savoy (fifteenth century) and it is now a very popular dessert from the city of Lyon.
I remember my grand-mother making those during my school holidays when I was a child, great memories!
Its cousin in Spain is buñuelos
Bugnes et beignets, ce n'est pas tout à fait la même recette. De plus les bugnes Lyonnaises ne ressemblent pas à celle qu'on fait dans d'autres régions - ne serait ce que chez moi qui suis juste 100 km plus au sud. Peu importe tous sont délicieux 😋
@@furansujinkaeru Oui complètement! Comment sont faites celles de chez vous? Les beignets de la Nouvelle Orléans ressemblent exactement aux bugnes que je mange depuis tout petit dans le Rhône (d’où l’origine de mon commentaire) mais même à Lyon on en trouve plein de sortes différentes!
@@furansujinkaeru D’ailleurs je ne connais pas vraiment l’histoire des beignets de la Nouvelle Orléans et comment ils ont fini par prendre ce nom mais je trouve qu’ils ressemblent beaucoup plus à ce qu’on pourrait appeler « bugnes » en France plutôt que ce qu’on pourrait appeler « beignets ».
I had Banana's Foster when I was a child and it stuck with me forever (it's ok for kids the alcohol burns off). I make it at home all the time, it is a treat always.
Beignets are pronounced Bey-neys. They sell them everywhere in France 🇫🇷 but they’re more like large filled doughnuts over there. Usually with Nutella, Crème Anglaise (custard) or puréed fruit filling (not the chemically tasting ‘jam’ we have in the UK). I love them !
Gold old southern Louisiana desserts makes me happy. Seeing others eat it for the first time and enjoy it, makes me happier!
It’s like the Cirque du Soliel of desserts 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Love this series in America!
When I make Bananas Foster I will sometimes substitute high-proof bourbon. It adds a more caramel taste.
That's an excellent idea. I can't wait to try it.
@@Jsingle911I've used Nivan before. It has Madagascar Vanilla in it. And WOW, so good!
The bread pudding soufflé at Commanders Palace is a must have
2:42 what’s crazy is that architecture is actually Spanish not French. When the Spanish bought Louisiana from France they started to develop it then the French bought it back but they kept the same architecture in the French quarter
"Those tricky Americans! They just spice everything!" 😂😂😂
I haven’t been ‘home’ to Louisiana since just before the Pandemic. You hit my spots in NAWLINS. Brennans makes a Brandy milk punch that we drink in honor of my mother who passed years ago. Thank you for making my day. ❤❤
Hearing them attempt to pronounce Beignets is hilarious. Now the shoes on the other foot John and Olly lol 😂
Yeah, but I think they were only pretending to not know how to pronounce Beignets. They claimed there were so many people telling them they just HAD to go to Cafe du Monde, and not one of those people actually said the word "Beignets"?
Haha... "Something very Frenchy" I'd hope it taste like something from France. The beignet is literally a fried puff pastry originating in France. And the French are the ones who founded New Orleans, and actually Louisiana as a whole. It was originally called La Louisaine. It was a district of New France and was named after Louis XIV. The name New Orleans is dedicated to the Duke of Orléans.
So many Americans do not know the history of Louisiana nor do they understand what Cinco de Mayo is either. History is so important but so few bother to learn it.
@@paanne1013 yeah, I love history.
I just love watching you two enjoy the different regions of American foods. We are for sure a melting pot of culinary delights. Keep the videos coming and enjoy the ride.
“They’ve gone and spiced it!” Yes sir, yes we did😁
Oh wow, Christian is a fan of you guys too! Unreal and awesome ❤
You know it's good when Ollie is so speechless his face can't make an expression.
This was absolutely epic and so simple too. Loved the whole team thought they had an idea about the different desserts but then just being floored by the FLAVORS and execution. Cheers Everyone!
I love Café Du Monde, I would go there with my grandma when I was a kid and we'd buy stuff from them to make at home too. A large portion of my family is from New Orleans so I've been really enjoying these Louisiana videos so far ❤
When they were eating beignets, Josh looks like a frat guy who slings onions all around the block.
Gosh I love seeing Luke and Duckie’s reactions when they realize you’re not over exaggerating.
My absolutely favorite dessert..Bananas Foster...UNBELIEVABLE! I had a chef prepare it for me for my 40th surprise birthday dinner...I will never forget it...
Only Josh and Ollie can have almost FOUR million viewers (more than many famous people btw…) and make everything “old New Orleans” and make me drool over Beignets which are nothing like you can get anywhere but New Orleans.
I love that you guys are having such a good time in the US. Makes me happy and glad you're exploring and sharing the neat stuff here!
I can’t understand how they are wearing fleece, long-sleeved sweaters…. IN NOLA! WOW!!
5:47- Luke's face after trying the Banana. "Are you flirting with me?"
3:30 the most American sized "sprinkle" of brown sugar ever.
Now y'all have to head to south Florida for some good Cuban and Puerto Rican food! 😋
Or maybe to Cuba and Puerto Rico? :P
Or maybe actully visit Puerto Rico. 😂
Why would they do that? lol just go to the actual countries to get their food?
Or they could go to Maine and try the New England specific foods or head to Chicago/Wisconsin to try some upper Midwest hotdogs, pizza, and cheese curds.
@@loganleroy8622 That world make more sense, it’s actually specific to the United States lol Or go to Hawaii and try all the local food there!
I love the way you always close your eyes when you try something you like .
Icing sugar, the glitter of the culinary world 😂 Once again, Ollie’s a genius
KE and JOLLY video on the same day? What a treat!
So I'm missing out. I don't know what channel KE is. Please fill me in!
@@richiebk79 Korean Englishman is their main channel focusing primarily on Korean content, while JOLLY is their second channel, which involves regular, non-Korean/International content.
@@KJRA2009what!? I did not know this! Thank you very much! Heading there now, cheers!
Unbelievable that y’all have tried Michelin star desserts and a little old southern classic is deemed the best. 😊
The sweetest part of these is their personalities 😊
4:57. Ollie is IN LOVE
Love the chicory coffee and warm milk. Brennans for Sunday brunch is one of a kind
