I do NOT want to risk a strong backhand from any Southern woman. It'd be like a stern talking from my Asian mama. Southern women and Asian women can be really scary!
You don't have to be from the south only.😊 I lived in Ohio and had a neighbor that if you called her Deborah or Mrs. ----- you would you would get this withering stare until you corrected yourself. She was in her 80s at the time. She was unstoppable . I used feel bad because she would cut her own yard. I offered to do it once and got the stare and she said " I am not that old that I need help doing my chores. I never asked again. She passed peacefully in her sleep when she was 96. There were so many people at her funeral that they had people outside in the parking lot listening on speakers. The procession to the cemetery was so long that it took a half hour to reach the cemetery which was 2 miles away. Miss Deborah was a fierce but much loved woman. 😢
@provisionalhypothesis I’m American and have always used and heard Fall and Autumn used interchangeably. Maybe that a region thing. In fact I know people named Autumn. Never met anyone named Fall.
Hi guys. Soul food is family recipes that has been passed down from slavery to every generation and the way they are cooked! It's the food that the masters would "DISGARD" and the slaves cooked it to survive-so it was cooked from their SOUL to save their families. Soul Food originated in the SOUTH because slavery was prevalent in these states. USA
Any Southern person of a certain age knows that you do NOT call anyone older than you by their first name! Never. It's "Miss" or "M'am", or "Sir" to an older person. It's a matter of respect for your elders, and Southern manners. She "schooled" the boys on that one .
In the South you respect your elders. You dont call someone older than you by their first name. And you dress for dinner. Its called an UNDERshirt for a reason. Shouldnt disrespect her ladyship.
one day please react to this sweet story I've asked so many people who do reactions to look at this and react and no one's followed up but I think it's a very touching true but I think it's a very touching true to life story 6:06
I love deep fried catfish, it is my favorite fish to eat. I buy farm raised catfish fillets then bread them with Andy's Red cajun breading and deep fry them for 7 minutes at 350 degrees and they come out perfect every time, then I eat them with some lemon juice on them.
Y’all should watch Jolly’s other video where they went catfish noodling. It’s not as good as other noodling videos but gives you a generally good idea how going fishing in the southern US is like in my opinion. Been doing it since I was a child and have always loved going out on the lake to fish(with poles not in the water).
Jolly is always a great choice if you want to react to some food. They also have a show Korean Englishman, and they travel all over the world trying food.
Did she say she uses flour in her fried green tomatoes? 😲 I've never heard of anyone else making it like that! My paternal grandpa taught my mom how to make fried green tomatoes like this with flour! And that's how I of course was also taught and I taught my friends the same way. But I've never seen it made that way before. I still like the ones I get at restaurants with the corn batter but I still prefer the way my family makes it! It's always been my favorite side dish/snack although I don't often get to have them but if I grow my own tomatoes it's hard to let them ripen because all I want is to make fried green tomatoes out of them 😋
Soul Food is African American food. Black enslaved cooks did the cooking for plantation owners & after slavery continued to cook the food eaten in upper middle class & wealthy homes. This influenced the evolution of what is called Southern Food & is the common link between the two. Soul food is not just “Southern Food.” Black Americans migrated in huge waves called the Great Migration to leave the oppression of racial segregation. Black people already lived in the North as well. Both cooking styles made Soul Food. Soul Food is wherever Black People are, North, South, East or West. It’s like Soul Music. That signifies Black. It has nothing to do with “cooking from the soul”. Grew up on Soul Food & it remains my favorite.
There is different kind of Corn Bread. I think it started as Ho Cakes (Johnny Cakes) cooked on a farming ho over open coals. My husband and I love the jalapeno and cheese corn bread. 😋 yum. People like hot Corm Bread with nice cold honey butter now a days.
Would love to visit this place. Even though I was born south, l have never had a chance to go to a real Soul Food Restaurant. Made my mouth water. Love the Cat Fish and Corn Fritters.
Cornbread has a sweetness to it from the corn. A bit grainier.. but a sweetness. It's great for eating with gravy or sauces.. Often used to compliment American BBQ.
Soul food goes back to slavey times right down in deep south and soul food is dot in to our blood. And If you guys ever wanna learn how to make real soul food we can help you and yall should try it.
Not just food but things in general. I was thinking this the other day, but when they speak of how "interesting" their government is it makes me wonder if it would be allowed or get them in trouble if something mailed was "inappropriate".
Soul food was basically a way to make less favorable foods, usually the lower quality cuts of meat and less popular vegetables, more palatable. Slaves and sharecroppers in the South during the 1700s-1900s had to get by on whatever castoffs they could afford and whatever they could grow for themselves. So, they made that cheap food DELICIOUS! Even now when we can afford better quality food, that soul food hits different. It tastes like home and love. I can buy the premium orange juice and eggs and sausage, but every once in a while, you just want that cheap Kool-Aid and some homemade cheese grits.
@jorgenszelda Not exactly. Soul food has more sugar, spice or heat to the food that distinguishes it from southern cooking, but all is southern cooking. Soul food caught the label that "its from black southern slaves" from the blacks in the north who looked down on it coming to their neighborhoods during the Great Migration. Soul food is just southern food with more spice, sugar.
@@sunnydays8270 Except my family was sharecroppers and they brought those recipes with them. If they’re calling it soul food, best believe I’m going to believe them. I’m only two generations removed from poor black farmers on both sides. Some of them are still beating the dust off their dungarees. By the way, I don’t care what anybody says or what they do to them, chit’lins are the damned Devil and the ancestors can keep ‘em. We didn’t come all the way up here to work factories and office jobs to still be eating the scraps that are meat adjacent. I’ll take my glorified sausage cases with actual meat in them, thanks.
My best recipes come from my grandparents... liver dumplings, poppyseed bread, ice cream, ketchup, ect... cooking should come from the soul. And fried green tomatoes are absolutely amazing when done fresh.
@garycamara9955 liver is good. I choose it every year for my birthday dinner. My entire family eats it. We grew up eating liver and onions as kids because my mum had to have it three times a week for low iron in her blood post my youngest sister's birth back in 1962.
you can go to memphis to eat this, but you should leave before it gets dark, or know some places to retreat to. or go with a local that can keep you out of a bad area.
The key to really tasty catfish is to REMOVE THE SKIN, the skin will make the catfish to have a wild taste, much like deer meat, you have to really clean deer meat to remove the wild game taste, many folks prefer to mix other meats in deer, to help tame down the wild taste, but it's all based on personal preferences. Catfish is a really meaty fish, that in many instances tastes just like cod, or whitefish. I'm not much on fried green tomatos, but I do love me some breaded fried okra.
@@garycamara9955 Yea catfish are bottom feeders, but it also depends on how much water they are in, small ponds versus a large lake makes a difference in flavor, imo.
Im Black American and not Muslim, but i think catfish might be Haram, they’re bottom feeders, a lot of Black people dont eat catfish for that reason alone,do you guys know anything about catfish and it being possibly Haram in Islam?
It is safe, especially for the areas they are frequenting. Cut the negative hype and learn to enjoy regions and their culture. It is just like any other metropolitan area.
Anyone that has grown up in the South knows better than to disrespect these women ❤
I do NOT want to risk a strong backhand from any Southern woman. It'd be like a stern talking from my Asian mama. Southern women and Asian women can be really scary!
When they said they said her first name my second hand embrassment and anxiety kicked in lol

I love how you can see her in the back watching over them eat all of her food❤️ that’s a real american woman right there

They should know that. Would they have called Queen Elizabeth by her first name?

I wish you could taste cornbread its delicious and fried green tomatoes areso good. I hope one day you et to try it
Fried green tomatoes are very good!
when the leaves FALL from the trees
I think you make some of these at home. They have wonderful flavors that can work well with the spices.
My hometown!
One of the many things I looked forward to visiting my grandmother was her fried green tomatoes.
My grandmother grew and made the best butter beans.

Sweet potatoes are very healthy!
Its fun to see your reactions 😊

You guys have to come visit and taste the food. It is an underrated region of the United States and it is consistently overlooked.
Who would you rather hang out with from Britain, These guys or Laurence from lost in the pond?
You can look up any of that food and the recipes online. You have a lot of the ingredients in your country
ALRIGHT!!!😊😊

Someone really needs to send you guys a PO Box with American food.
Not just food but things in general. I was thinking this the other day, but when they speak of how "interesting" their government is it makes me wonder if it would be allowed or get them in trouble if something mailed was "inappropriate".
A PO box is where you send something. It's usually companied by a number. It's not something you send something in.

Not only does Soul dood feed your body, but it also feeds tour Soul.
Food made with love - like to food your mother made for you.... It makes it hard not to smile.

Homemade butter!
Liver, really?

Soul food is comfort food. Great southern food
Not really.
Eating chittlins and pigs feet is not comforting. 🤦🏾♀️
Soul food and comfort food are two different things
Is it fried in oil or pork fat?
I don’t know about her, but my family uses vegetable oil.
Yes
I grow tomatoes for the sole purpose of frying green ones. I don't like ripe tomatoes 😂.
I love a ripe beefsteak tomato.
They are tom ay toes not tom ah toes
Its soulfood, because its un touch with the ''souls'' of the population, might be poor and had to figure a way to survive and thrive.
I love sweet potatoes.
Im Black American and not Muslim, but i think catfish might be Haram, they’re bottom feeders, a lot of Black people dont eat catfish for that reason alone,do you guys know anything about catfish and it being possibly Haram in Islam?
Soul food is not halal. Soooooo.
She said you cannot call me by my first name LOL in the south, it is inappropriate to call an elder by their first name
It’s not safe to go to Memphis unfortunately.
It depends on where and what time you go I just went there a few weeks back and had an amazing time
Dont listen to the media just like any city there are good parts and bad parts
why do you think so?
It is safe, especially for the areas they are frequenting. Cut the negative hype and learn to enjoy regions and their culture. It is just like any other metropolitan area.
Memphis is a great old American city. I ❤ Memphis!
