As far as the Headmaster's comments on the biscuits with jam essentially being a scone, we Americans actually do put jam on our biscuits, but that's usually when the biscuits are served as lart of a breakfast meal
And they’re still not scones, because there’s no sugar and they’re fluffy.
Yeah the jolly guys seem to be under the idea that americans would never put something sweet on a biscuit which is just wrong af. Berries, cream, honey, jams, jellies, preserves, etc, A biscuit isnt "supposed" to be any particular way. Its SUPPOSED to be a versatile accompaniment to a breakfast or brunch. Sweet, savory, or use it as the bread for a sandwich. No wrong answers. Its not a pastry, its basically just a type of bread. Youd use it the same way.
Jelly or jam on a biscuit is probably more common in the US than gravy or most other methods. They just won’t show it in videos because it’s not so different from England.
I'm 62 years old and 80 percent of the time I've eaten my biscuits with butter and jam! We here in America do Jam on biscuits a LOT!
Love Peanut Butter and Jam on them too..... Jam not jelly, what you call preserves.
You two have to try Popeyes. No questions asked. No ifs, ands or buts. Just go!😅 A biscuit is a biscuit and a scone is a scone no matter what you put on it. 😅
I agree.
Absolutely. Because I always put butter and jelly on my biscuits.
@@BeeCuzz6357
I would actually love to try an American biscuit with British clotted cream
Lol I think you're overselling the "mixed reactions" to biscuits and gravy. Only 1.5 of those British kids disliked it. 😂😂😂
As a native of New Orleans (where Popeyes started), y'all better have some Popeyes. It's a shame that y'all don't get some of our sides like red beans and rice. Definitely get the spicy chicken sandwich, it's a game changer. The mashed potatos with gravy are great as are the seasoned fries and of course, y'all have to have some biscuits. Popeyes is an integral part of Mardi Gras here in New Orleans, go to a parade set up with friends, there will always be a bunch of Popeyes food provided. I actually got to meet the founder several times in the 90's before he passed from cancer as one of his daughters went to the same university as I did and dated/eventually married one of my fraternity brothers.
Have you ever tried Southern Classic, I think it gives Popeyes a run for it's money. It's a Louisiana chicken chain, I know it's one in Baton Rouge.
Hi neighbor! I just moved here to New Orleans last week!
@@bethany8734 Nice! Welcome to the 504.
Putting fries in burger, especially chicken sandwich is normal in the US. Saves you eating time and sauce dipping. Definitely not weird.
It is like putting chips on a sandwich.
@@adamsanchez7995 Well the British have a thing called "chip butty" where it's nothing but fries in between two slices of bread and that is probably one of the most horrible blandest dishes I've seen on google images. Lmao.
Or even a regular beef patty, is still normal
Yes,I have found not all Popeyes are the same, but go for it!
Same. I have had a bad last couple of experiences there, but they used to be better.
Same. The thing is that I’ve never been in one that was clean. I obviously haven’t been to every location. For as many as I’ve been to, though, zero clean is a little concerning
@@Boethius4748 I guess the Popeyes locations you go to are all old locations because there's plenty of new locations in the west coast.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld certainly could be. The last time I was in a west coast location was a very long time ago. But I’m talking more they aren’t cleaning so well rather than the age of the place. I’m still breathing and don’t have food poisoning (yet), so I suppose it’s a win for now? lol
I watched this episode of the students having Popeye's. Always hilarious. Biscuits are served with any meal as a bread. You can eat them with butter only, butter and honey or jelly, covered in gravy, as a sandwich with chicken in the middle, ... They should be fluffy in the middle.
Umm....NO.... Because we eat jam and/or jelly on our biscuits as well. We don't just eat white Southern gravy on our biscuits.
We have jam or jelly with biscuits all the time, as a side or a breakfast thing.
Yes, you should try Popeye's! Better Southern-style biscuits, better fried chicken. They even have the option of spicy fried chicken. Highly recommend.
Biscuits with butter and jelly or jam is probably more common in the US than Biscuit and Gravy
Absolutely
Exactly
If I was choosing between Taco Bell or Popeyes, I’d do Popeyes.
In the U.S? Butter and jelly? I've never heard of that. All I've tried and eaten was biscuits with mash/gravy, or with butter and honey
That seems to be true in my experience. At least here in the great white north (MN).
Popeyes chicken is more of a traditional southern cajun recipe. Cajun fried chicken (like all things cajun) is going to have a bit of a kick to it. I can't handle spicy food, but prepared like this, pretty much anyone can handle the spice. I really prefer this cajun way.... you really cannot beat the flavor. Those chips/fries are also seasoned, which means, they are covered in seasoning. If its out of Louisiana, its got a lot of flavor.
if you add jam it is a breakfast biscuit
Yes, y'all should try it if you get the chance. I just hope the UK version is as good as most US stores. I say most, because even here I've some not as great food and service, but it's like that at any chain place.
would love to watch a vid of y’all trying popeyes!!
Yes, I think Popeye’s is better the KFC. Primarily because of the crunch and the size of the chicken. The chicken sandwich is quite tasty!
So when you get to London, give it a go!
You should also try Jollibee and do a comparison. They have a few locations in London
@@coollady2179 they have non-spicy variation! I love spicy but non-spicy is still pretty good as well :)
I feel like London is best avoided these days. It's half non native now, unrecognizable in many ways.
You have it incorrect, because KFC > Popeye's since their chicken is more tender then Popeye's due to it being cooked under pressure.
This is the Fulham Boys School in London. Josh and Ollie are old friends with Dave Smith, the headmaster. It started over a year ago with introducing year 11-13 students to Korean food. Their other channel, KoreanEnglishman really shows the relationship they’ve developed with this particular school.
We are dippers here in America.
Dipping anything in sauces is a rite of passage.
Flavor, flavor, flavor.
The biscuits and coleslaw at popeyes are the best, and the sweet tea too.
It's so different it's cool hearing your opinion
loved this react! and i totally get you guys on watching a variety of reactions to the same things. it is very interesting to see other people's reactions to the same thing. i would love to see you guys try popeyes for the first time!
I’ll admit, I do love freshly made biscuits with butter and jam 😊
As someone who grew up in New Orleans where Popeyes is from the Chicken is GREAT!!!!.
This is likely going to lead into another series in a couple of years when they bring these students to America to learn things. Josh and Ollie actually brought seniors from that school to Korea for the first time a couple of years ago. That trip changed a lot of perspectives for those students as they have gone on to university and are starting to understand the world around them and how it influences them and how they influence the world. Two of those students actually came back to do another series in Korea seeing things that are connected to university life in Korea but also trying to understand how josh and Ollie were like as they went to school in Korea. It’s really changing them to try new things and understand more about their own lives.
First he’s the Korean Englishman, now he’s the American Englishman 😂
Fingers crossed
Definitely do a Popeyes video. IMO as an American, Popeyes is way better than Chickfila and KFC. It just has more flavor and a southern homestyle taste to it.
Let's put it this way. Popeye's can be so good that people were literally in line and getting into fights over the chicken sandwich. 🤣 That only seems to happen here for Popeye's and when a new PlayStation comes out.
@@beanscollections2020 Facts 😂
Sadly though there are people that also hate Popeye's as much as KFC though. Pfft
Popeyes is definitely better than the others. Chik fil a is close behind imo( mainly cause of their sauce) and KFC is non existent
Is it better than Church's Chicken?
UK has Popeyes Chicken! You can do a Google Search and find the locations. Yes do a try video! You can compare your experience with Mr H and Friends video where they tried Popeyes recently in Florida! :) JOLLY yes has tried Popeyes and did a reaction video as well.Popeyes has mild chicken and also choice of SPICY chicken.
Jam or butter is most likely the most popular thing we put on biscuits. Biscuits and gravy is pretty decadent so I dont think most people eat it on a regular basis. A perfectly cooked biscuit is better than a perfectly cooked scone in my book.
The UK has jam and the USA has jelly which are definitely different from each other, we definitely pit jelly on are biscuits as well........also we have jam in the USA as well......but jelly is more popular that jam in the USA
For me I put honey on my biscuits as well as jelly like if I’m making a breakfast sandwich. So it’s still a biscuit to me 😂
Yes, try it out. You need a chicken and waffles shop. It's amazing together.
If the biscuits are that crunchy they are overcooked. 12:00 MR. Smith is wrong. It can not be a scone if the ingredients are different, no matter what you put on it a biscuit is a biscuit and a scone is a scone. We have both in the US and the biscuit is superior.
Depending on how they are cooked, biscuits can be crunchy without being overcooked. Also, firmer biscuits are preferable to light fluffy ones, when you covering them in gravy. Fluffy biscuits turn to mush when covered with gravy in practically no time at all. Same goes with cornbread. Fluffy corn bread turns to mush and is not good sopping up gravy or other cooking liquids such as bean juice or the juice from a pot roast.
I can’t stress enough the fact that we put butter and jam or jelly on our biscuits here in the states
Popeyes is my favorite chicken chain. If you do your own reaction the spicy chicken and the red beans and rice are a must try. The mashed and creole gravy is really good too, has a kick to it.
Gotta put butter with honey on the biscuits. We also put butter and jam on them.
Can’t wait til you guys try it!
I am right there with them when it comes to dipping my food in sauces and gravy. 😂
I usually put a thin layer of jelly on the biscuits with a light sprinkle of sugar. of course you have to cut the biscuit in half to do this you don't put anything on top except butter, unless you having the normal biscuits and gravy.
Popeye’s is definitely better than KFC.
I got chic fa li all day lol so much better then Popeyes in my opinion
Chic fil A>Popeyes>KFC
Jollibee Chicken Joy>Chick Fil-A>Popeyes>KFC
@@Jae-jae1392 if we’re talking sandwiches only, I can get behind this. If we talk fried chicken, Chik-fil-a is out. Still agree with the order.
Naw KFC is better, more seasoning. Popeyes is better fried but as for taste KFCs got it.
Oh I sooo need to see you both try Popeyes!! 🙏🏻
Americans split biscuits open, add butter and jam. That is what we do. You can have honey over the butter, but that is usually for cornbread. We also do biscuits and sausage gravy. In that instance, the biscuit is sliced open and laid on the plate face up. I would appreciate seeing you do a London video.
We enjoy biscuits and gravy.. But also biscuits with honey.. with jelly or jam or preserves. with ham or bacon or chicken.. With eggs and cheese. etc... The list is endless, everything's good with a biscuit.
Biscuits and jelly are popular in America too.
The kid who put fries on the sandwich deserves his American citizenship, immediately.
He'd be right at home at Rally's/Checkers. They'll now let you add fries to ANY sandwich.
Mac & Cheese is a staple for single men in the US. The variety of add-ins (meat, veggies, spices) is only limited to what you have in your fridge & pantry. Popeye's started in 1972 in New Orleans, LA by Al Copeland. Y'all need to remember, we came up with deep frying everything.
I would love to see you guys try it out!
In the South, the dinner biscuit has to be a fluffy, flaky, buttermilk honey-glazed biscuit.
If it’s available when you guys try Popeyes, you have to get the red beans and rice! 😋
Some Popeyes here in the US also have crawdad tails. They taste like a cross between shrimp and lobster.😋
Crawdads are absolutely divine! Similar in taste to shrimp/prawns, but way more tender & a bit naturally sweeter.
Crawfish* :)
@@coletrahan2739 Mudbugs!
@@coletrahan2739, or crayfish!
That was not just a teacher, but the head master of the school, which Josh had gone to.
Seems to me that some Brits want to argue about what biscuits are called rather than appreciate them for their flavor, consistency and so on. I've come to look upon our language differences in the same way as I would English and French or German, etc. English is spoken by the English and American is spoken by Americans. There are some words or phrases in the USA that are purely American, not English. And vice versa. And those who don't understand that are simply splitting hairs.
Americans also use jelly or jam on biscuits usually for breakfast .
Boys! 😄 shoveling it in and enjoying. 👍
My husband put grape jelly on his biscuits all the time
There's that American restaurant that Jolly ate at in London for Superbowl. Don't remember the name, but the food looked good. Bbq brisket, ribs, etc
**stands up and fixes collar**
I've been subbed since it was just James. "British Football Fan Reacts" days.
The mashed potatoes and gravy is cajun spiced and so are the fries.
I always put jelly on my biscuits, I'm going to say this put what ever you want on your biscuits honey, jelly, or jam its up to your taste and preferences.
I prefer to split biscuits in half & spread with butter & sometimes jelly/jam.
Biscuits go good with Jam, jelly's. Preserves, whip cream with fresh berries, butter & Sausage Gravy! That the short list in America
Do a try the Popeyes for sure. I think the reactions to other people trying stuff is entertaining but it’d be interesting to get your take on it.
In America we have honey as well as with the biscuits
The head master is my absolute favorite. He would do very well in America 😊
There is a video of Jolly trying Popeyes for the first time. It’s called “Brits Try Popeyes with Try Guy Keith”
5:30 I used to do that as a kid too, hell I'll do it at any age lol
Dipping sandwiches in mashed with gravy is delicious
You can find Popeyes in the UK. Though none in jersey. London, Manchester, those places.
NO, No, no- scones are small cakes. Biscuits are small breads. They are not the same. I’m not from the south and I grew up in New Jersey putting butter and jam on hot biscuits.
Jolly themselves done it with Try Guys Keith. On an American trip if I remember correctly.
This is Louisiana style chicken which means it's cajun or creole which equals hot and spicy. My concern would be for Millie. If you have had problems with heartburn or indigestion you might want to wait until after the baby comes. However, if the temptation becomes too great and you're in a moment of weakness, make sure you ask your doctor (if you haven't already) what you can take for heartburn and indigestion.
Only the Spicy chicken is spicy at Popeyes. They have two types - regular and spicy. She will be fine.
It looks like there are at least 15 Popeye's in the UK now! Wow! It's really worth a trip if you can make it happen.
If you make an American biscuit “ wrong” you end up with a scone. The base ingredients are identical. But how you cook it makes the difference.
You should try Popeyes. I also looked abs it looks like there's also a Chipotle in London, that one would be worth trying as well.
I see we here in the USA love to confuse others on the difference between what we call a burger and a sandwich. I have a feeling Brits call it a burger because of the bread bun it's on, only here in the USA we call it a chicken sandwich regardless of the bun. For us a burger is based on the preparation of the meat. You can have a chicken burger if the chicken has been ground and formed into a patty like a hamburger is. A piece of deep fried chicken on a bun is a sandwich.
If you ever go to the south, you need to look for a Bojangles. Im addicted to there season fries lol. Good chicken too
A few thoughts…
Biscuits and gravy? You betcha! Biscuits and jelly/jam/preserves? Absolutely! Biscuits with just butter and/or maybe dipped in grits or eggs or whatever? Certainly! They are probably equally as popular and may even depend on what day if the week it is or which direction the wind is coming from.
The mashed potatoes and gravy aren’t bad however… they are instant. A little hot water and they are ready to go. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion but like most instant foods, they aren’t nearly as good as homemade or restaurant made from scratch. But, I rarely get chicken and pass up the potatoes.
We were putting fries on burgers 60 years ago when I was in elementary school.
Popeyes comes in spicy and not spicy with the same crunch.
My favorite is the nuggets with wild honey mustard sauce on the side. They have good mac n' cheese as well. I am not fond of their biscuits nor their gravy. But their chicken is better than KFC
The best time to go is when they are moderately busy so that they are making fresh food pretty quickly. If you go well after the typical meal time, the food may have been sitting just keeping warm which is not optimal.
We just got Popeyes…we like it…my husband gets the crispy chicken sandwich and I get the 3 piece dinner with fries…there’s a restaurant in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania called Primanti Bros. All their sandwiches have fries and cole slaw in their sandwiches….the cole slaw has a creamy base not vinegar base….
If you google "American BBQ Restaurant in London England" a bunch of places come up. It'd be fun to see you guys react to something like that.
I couldn’t watch this without eating. Idk how you did it.
Oh and I do recommend checking the American high schooler reactions. Brutal but hilarious.
Always pick spicy over mild. The spicy pieces are well seasoned and not really “burn your tongue” spice. The biscuits are so buttery and can be eaten drizzled with honey. Try the red beans and rice.. they are so good just like the mashed potatoes and gravy ❤️👍
Red beans and rice are better. You can make a meal on those by themselves.
Popeyes is a southern America treat and It is very good!
Looking forward to seeing you try Popeyes
Not sure if y’all heard of the controversy Popeyes had a couple of years ago here in the US with the debut of their chicken sandwiches… they sold out everyday, there were lines and lines of customers, it was an uproar. As someone who personally waited patiently in those lines 😅 it was definitely worth the wait! Since then, all the other fast food chains have come up with their own versions, but none compare to Popeyes.
I agree with that British guy ---- the colonel's 11 herbs and spices are very hard to beat. KFC is still number 1. HI Millie hope everything is going well with that little one.
Definitely do it yourselves if you want to try it anyway.
Everyone has an opinion and its worth seeing.
Putting fries in mcdonalds cheeseburgers is bomb
POPEYES GANG LESSSSGOOOOO!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳Definitely try it
You have to try the southern mac and cheese. It’s the best
If you're going to get Popeyes, don't forget the cajun sparkle!!
As a Louisianian, where Popeyes originates from, I definitely think you guys should make a trip to go and try it out. Side note, the biscuits are a bit dry, but the hack for that is to dip them in ketchup (sounds weird, but try it)
you should go to the Bbq place Jolly went to Prarie Fire also They are in London as well.
Wow! Just saw that Popeye’s has become a hit in the UK. It hopes to have ~30 locations by year-end, and open ~350 across the UK when all is said and done. It’s aggressively going after KFC and the local chicken restaurants. Like all prepared foods, people make their biscuits a bit differently. Some are a bit salty, some are really buttery. They do tend to go hard when they sit out, just like regular bread does, so bs t eat them when they’re warm.
LOL...I was putting fries on my burgers back in the 70's. For crispier fried chicken; add 1 part corn starch to 3 parts flour. Dip chicken in milk first...then in the flour/starch and seasoning mixture.
Yeah California burgers have fries in them apparently.

I must be older than you.
We started in the 60s.🤣

I wanted them to have them try dirty rice or red beans & rice.
Our biscuits are not your scones. We have both biscuits and scones. From what I've been told, scones are denser. Biscuits and scones are two different things. Biscuits can be eaten with something sweet or savory. And it can be eaten for breakfast or dinner. For breakfast, I usually put butter or jelly with butter on my biscuits. Sometimes I put a little puddle of syrup on the plate and sop it up with the biscuits.
Please do try Popeye's!
rally’s/checkers has the best fries of any fast food
Definitely do a first time eating video of Popeyes!!
Yes, definitely try it. Chik Fil A has the best chicken though
OMG, of the various fried chicken joints in the US, KFC is now probably the bottom of the barrel and quite a few people consider Popeyes among the best (I'm trying not to provoke the Chick-Fil-A people because I consider their "thing" a little different).
How can you not have had mash potatoes WITH gravy? I mean that's almost, maybe not quite, the only way to eat them.
Also, Popeye's, unlike KFC, is not strictly a chicken place--hence the mac & cheese. It started out in New Orleans serving a few Cajun/Creole classics including jambalaya which I gether they've dropped but they still serve red beans and rice.
Mac & cheese is a vegetable, acccording to those in the southern US.
