I'm from Pennsylvania. When my husband moved here from Indiana, he asked what scrapple was. The answer he got was, "Everything but the oink."
My mom is from Philly. I just read your comment out to her, and she said “That’s pretty accurate”
Here in Iowa back in the day, we used to call it pork jello, or head cheese. 😂
Scrapple is the nastiest stuff but I ain't gotta eat it. You do you.
@@Nipper-ty9tk The head cheese I know of is a meat jelly. Totally different from scrapple.
@@Rockhound6165 Oh man. Scrapple is SO good in my opinion that it's almost even hard to imagine someone thinking it's nasty. 😂 It'd be like the equivalent of someone thinking bacon was nasty. I mean, I understand people possibly thinking the ingredients themselves are nasty or something. But as a whole product and cooked properly? It's so delicious I don't know how people can think it's that disgusting tasting to them. 🤷🏻♀
This family was so smart to start this channel. We Americans are so full of ourselves 😂 They knew we’d jump on any content about us 😆
Lol That's us!
MERICA!!! ❤😂
@@jamesgram2429 😂
lol 😅
I hate to say it, but this is so true 😅😅 I mean, how can we not tho? We were the superpower of the world until 4 years ago lol
Biscuits and Gravy!! The number 1 Comfort/ every day Food! 😂😂
Truth. But the variation from restaurant to restaurant is HUGE. At some places it's the best thing you've ever had, and in others it's just meh.
@ct6852 You also have others types of gravy in the south like red eye gravy which I like but most people hate.
@@ct6852 Well put. Sometimes the biscuits and gravy are awesome. Sometimes they are OK at best. I'll say this.... For whatever reason, I always like orange juice with biscuits and gravy. Would not touch orange juice other than this, but, Yassum..... With biscuits and gravy.... Sign me up.
@@ButcherBird-FW190D I really like root bear with it. There was a place down the road where I used to get it from all the time, but I was really getting pretty fat so I had to stop. Lol. Been two years since I've had any.
Louisiana....crawfish. jambalaya is good, but a good ole crawfish boil is the best.
Yes! And gumbo for comfort more than jambalaya.
I was thinking the same thing. I live in Church Point Louisiana, and we have alot of crawfish farmers around here.
Crawfish etouffeé, and fried oyster Po Boys too. Or even just fried oysters. Seafood gumbo as well.
The kids are growing up right before our eyes. Atlanta was a little girl when I first started watching this channel. Now she’s a young lady. And look at Denzel. He’s growing up to be a handsome young man.
You… just… STOP that you…
I lived in China for nearly 10 years and over there, they have a surprising comfort food. A dish called tomato and egg. Basically you take eggs and tomatoes, one or two eggs per tomato. Some garlic and green onions. Dice or slice the garlic and the whites of the green onions and chop the green parts into finger width pieces. Brown the garlic and onions a bit. Take the eggs and whisk them deliberately getting air in the mix (bad form usually I know). Put oil in a pan fairly deep, sesame oil is best if you have it. Get the oil hot and drop the eggs in. Cook intil *almost* done, they should still be a little runny. Then add the garlic, onions and tomatoes cut into wedges.
Add chicken stock and a little soy sauce and let it simmer, gently stirring occasionally on a medium heat. The juices from the tomatoes will come out after a while, that means its almost done. Let it simmer in those juices for a few minutes and salt to taste. Some people add sugar. I usually don't, but it can be good. Many people also blanch the tomatoes and remove the skin, but I leave them on. I feel like they add texture.
Serve that over white rice. Personally I prefer the dish *cold.* Still over hot white rice mind, but I like to put the tomato and egg in the fridge overnight then serve it over hot white rice. That is NOT traditional, but it is REALLY tasty.
Expert cooking tip. Adding a tiny bit of sugar and a vinegar to a dish, not even enough to taste can dramatically add to the taste of a dish. The reason is, that both sugar and vinegar have a chemical reaction that causes taste buds to become more sensitive for a while. A tea spoon of each is more than enough for an entire dish or soup. Again, it doesn't even have to be enough to taste.
These sorts of lists always go with cheese curds for Wisconsin, but I feel like Butterburgers gets short shrift in that deal. Butterburgers are so good that Wisconsin’s homebred franchise, Culvers, is one of the fastest growing recently nee fast food chains, with restaurants in about half the states and growing (though, yes, also has cheese curds).
Butterburgers are exactly what they sound like… they’re fried in butter. The toppings are fairly traditional… but people also use,of course, cheese curds. Focusing just on the burger, you can’t beat the buttery flavor of a Wisconsin butterburger. Butter really sets off those umami taste buds !
Culver's is good, and they might be able to get some this trip, as they've expanded
These lists always default to buckeyes for my home of Ohio and it always feels kind of lazy, I'm sure we have to have something else that's just as popular that isn't chili spaghetti either.
I would also suggest Wisconsin cream puffs or Kringles.
Ya WA is more famous for its cheese curds. Beechers cheese
Yes! Culver's burgers are amazing!!! 🤤 They used to have a Reuben sandwich that was really good too!
Texas chili doesn't have beans. They didn't mention beans in the video but all of the stock photos they used had beans.
Chili (with no beans) is officially the state food-and it is well liked-but IMO, it is not as popular as BBQ, steak, or Tex-Mex food.
I only lived in Texas for 8 years back in the 70's, but I ate way more chilli with beans than without. I think only purists think it can't have beans.
@@chuckcollins4715 I'm 52 and have lived in Texas all my life. Chili doesn't have beans, but beans are often added to cut the spice, especially for children, or just out of a personal preference, and when beans are added the dish is "chili and beans".
My dad's did. He was born and raised in Texas
Pennsylvania and Maryland also have Pieroggies🥟are mashed potatoes and cheese grilled in a dumpling like pasta, in butter and onions! WOW! Perfect for tv ball games.
That's the best kind. They make pierogies with other fillings, but I stick with the potato and cheese ones.
I've lived in Maryland for over 10 years and wouldn't think of Pierogies as a Maryland thing. But I'm down for it.
Born and raised in NM. We are known for our Hatch Green Chile; I don't know who made this list but i can honestly say green Chile anything is our comfort food. We put it on burgers, in stews, burritos, enchiladas, pizza and even in ranch! (Dion's green Chile ranch). Hatch is world famous for its Chile and I'm surprised they would say Colorado green "chili" is their state comfort food.
Maybe if you traveled outside of New Mexico you would know. But what they showed for Colorado was more chili Verde which is made with different ingredients. In Colorado we have pork green chili.
Colorado isn't known for their world famous food. Green chili is NM all day. I think someone felt sad for them. Christmas on my enchiladas please.
@@artistnyc123 i have been Colorado a fair bit and the only place I've seen green Chile served was a burger shop in Colorado Springs.
@@Allmighty505 Go south on I-25 to Pueblo. You'll find green chile and green chili everywhere. If you go to a Village Inn, they serve green chili there. Look at Food Wars, they did a thing on green chili in Pueblo.
Colorado wishes that their chile was like Hatch. If I want green chile from Colorado, I'll just grab a jalapeno haha
On your way up the Oregon coast, you need to stop in Newport at Mo's and have their famous clam chowder in a bread bowl. 🤤😎
I agree with this mo’s is good.
The BEST. I had to move to California...I miss Mo's.
I LOVE MO'S - Oregon resident, living in Seattle
Born and raised in California, lived on the Oregon coast for two years, and have lived in Alaska for the past 8 years. The best food I’ve ever eaten was in New Mexico. Everything is soo good!!
Hi guys! I'm from Buffalo, NY (home of the buffalo wing). If you want the most authentic wing sauce try the anchor bar sauces! Do Not try wing stop, they are NOTHING like real buffalo wings! Anchor bar started right here in Buffalo!!
I agree they are just safe nothing great to speak about .
Fine I will drive the 5 hours to get that sauce 😂
I'm from New Mexico and I can tell you that albondigas is not nearly as popular as anything that has chile in it (enchiladas, green chile stew, tamales, stuffed sopapillas etc). Come to NM in the early fall and you can smell chile roasting all over the state!
Right!? I was a bit disappointed by that. I've never even tried that soup.
Albondigas is more of a Mexican food dish, we had it all the time growing up. The meatballs have seasoning and raw rice mixed in the ground beef. Brown the meatballs a bit before adding to the stew/soup. The stew, basically a vegetable soup with a few different ingredients in it, will cook the rice inside the meatballs. It is a really great comfort food.
Same. I've been in ABQ for over 30 years and never even heard of it haha maybe it's more popular around Las Cruces? Lol
Very much agree! I have no idea where they came up with this soup as NM’s comfort soup. Hatch green chile is very well liked or they could have mentioned the Christmas chile choice (where both red & green chile are used-although, I prefer green chile alone). Green chile cheeseburgers are popular. Posole is more popular than what they mentioned, if you want to choose a soup/stew type dish.
Colorado always trying to claim green chile. I just posted a huge rant. No New Mexican would order green chile in CO. It tastes horrible because they grow it in Pueblo and even though their climate is dry for CO it’s not dry enough to produce Hatch quality green chile, and because they somehow think they are green chile capital of the US they only use CO green chile which makes it taste pickled.
When I was a kid, we could get these cheap parts off the chicken, the wings, and we simply BBQ'd them. Dipped in BBQ sauce and maybe ranch. Then Buffalo Wings became famous and now when you try to buy wings at the grocery, they are like gold - super expensive. It got so bad we started frying up parts of a tenderloin and using the Buffalo sauce. Then someone started selling Buffalo wings tenderloins. They also shot through the roof in cost. You can't win...
prices for wings are crazy here too vs thighs etc
I remember as a kid, my notoriously cheap mom asked the butcher to cut off the wings. She said "nobody eats those and I don't want to pay for them.
New Mexico = Green Chiles (Hatch green chile peppers) Colorado = Green Chili (like a stew). ❤
Colorado = also green chiles, but we have the Pueblo green chiles (Marisol variety), that's more meaty than Hatch and a tad bit more kick. Both are very good, though! Now I'm hungry... In September we have the Chile & Frijole Festival. The smell of roasting chiles is all over the place. 😋
@@Tam_Eikibullshit, they are not. If you know anything about green chile you know you need dry climate to grow the best. While Pueblo is dry for most of Colorado it’s not nearly as dry as Hatch. That’s where you get the heat. The more water the less heat. You people in Colorado are delusional.
Watching this with almost no food in the house & no money till tomorrow. It’s killing me!🤣
New Mexico is known for producing and using Hatch Green Chilies and their yearly festival in Hatch, so you were right in your thought. My comfort foods in Texas are Tex-Mex, BBQ, Ribeyes, Chicken Fried Steak and Catfish.
In Michigan, especially in the U.P., we have Cornish pasty which were brought over in the 1840’s. And the miners would bring these pies and heat it by their candle on their hats too. If you come to Michigan you should visit Detroit for their Detroit Style pizza. It’s got crispy cheesy edges which are so good to eat.
You haven't lived untill You have had a Navajo Taco (Fry Bread Taco)
Fry bread is amazing. I hope they try it
@@LindaC616 Heck yeah! Thanks for not calling it an "Indian Taco". Darn Pueblos always trying to take our stuff :)
@Warvvolf 😆 c'mon, now, let's not fight, there's enough Bluebird for everyone!😆
I love indian tacos!!!
If you go to Boise you need to try Boise Fry Co (ask for blueberry ketchup or fry sauce), a Basque restaurant, Bacon Boise, or Sid’s Garage! Go to The Still for dessert! There are other good restaurants if you’re wanting other kinds of dishes too!
Marylander here. And yes, crab cakes, steamed crabs, fried soft-shells, Maryland crab soup -- all of these spell summer for me.
Same! Good to see a fellow MDer here. 🍻🦀
Proud marylander, nowtransplanted to oregon..
They have no idea how to do crabs out here..
Blue crabs for life!!
Absolutely!
The ultimate MD summer meal I grew up with is crab cakes, corn on the cob, and tomatoes.
I don’t know what it is about MD corn and tomatoes, but they just taste so much better than what I can get from PA, which I travel into often.
I was never so disappointed when I lived in MD as I was with the crab. I got spoiled on the west coast. We threw away the bodies and just ate the legs. Body meat is gross!
Me too!
Green chile chicken enchiladas is the true new mexico comfort food. You can get red chile as well. As well as both knowen as Christmas here. 99% of the world gets its green chile here. From a town called Hatch New Mexico. Love your show.
That's funny, I live in NM and I literally just made Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas for dinner last night haha nothing beats Hatch when it comes to chile peppers!
❤The West Coast has amazing clam chowder too. You can find it anywhere from small diners to nicer restaurants. In San Francisco they serve it in locally made sour dough bread bowls.
i love Scrapple its much like hotdogs in the sense that it tastes good but you don't wanna know what its made of 😂
Not everyone in the USA is familiar with scrapple either… I heard of it here from people who live in Pennsylvania…..having grown up in New England ..more specifically Boston, Massachusetts I have never had it myself…,I hear it is tasty but like most I can’t get over the name scrapple ie scrapes of left over parts of the animal..,um a hard pass for me…,then again I love a good hot dog so never say never….
@@FLYINGWARRIOR19661 Don't judge a book by it's cover...or in this case, the ingredient list. Matter of fact, just don't read the ingredient list.
@@woo545 this is how we get warning labels on things though….what someone actually ate that? ;). Why would they ever do that if they knew what was inside..,hey just don’t look….. I joke….I hear it’s delicious , and gray….gulp
@@FLYINGWARRIOR19661 It IS delicious! And sure, kinda grey, loll. But only in the same way sausage can look greyish before cooking. I look at it like an American haggis. It's made of similar stuff, would look somewhat similar if Scrapple wasn't in its block form, the taste is even somewhat similar, but Scrapple is less heavily spiced. It's so, so, SO good.
@@LadyBeyondTheWall Scrapple has a lot less organ meat in it than people think. It's mostly pork scraps, pork skin and then some scraps of pork liver that didn't make it into the liverwurst and sometimes heart or kidney, but the last two not in commercial brands.
Arkansas in da house! On a cold, dreary, winter's day nothing beats a steaming bowl of chicken and dumplings! There are two dumpling options: dropped and rolled. For dropped, you drop spoonfuls of dough into the boiling broth. This is the method shown in the video clip.
For rolled, you roll the dough out with a rolling pin, then cut it into squares with a pizza cutter. That's my preferred method. I use chicken broth instead of water for a richer flavor, throw in a stick of butter for flavor and a silky mouth feel, skin, debone, and shred a Walmart rotisserie chicken, season with salt, sage, and a few good shakes of pepper, and enjoy! 😋😋😋
I’m in Missouri! Few hours drive from ya! I want chicken and dumplings BAD! I’ll come say hi :)
@@veronicabennett2777 I'll let you know the next time I make it. If you have a keen nose, you might be able to smell it from Missouri! Welcome, neighbor!😃
If you go to Savannah Georgia stop by Lady and sons, a restaurant owned by Paula Dean. All the comfort food you can stand, she also has restaurants in other states.
People I know who’ve eaten there have said Lady and Sons is overrated, but then again when people have to wait in line to get a table, their expectations tend to be high. I would say the only eatery in Savannah that has earned the fame it has received is Leopold’s, although they’re just ice cream. My personal favorite place to get a “main dish” in Savannah whenever I’m down there is Vinnie Van Go-Gos. I’ll even go out of my way if I’m passing near Savannah just to stop at Vinnie Van Go-Gos
@@curtyeomans8446 treylor park on Bay Street is outstanding too and I’ve never had to wait for a table at lady and sons.
Scrapple is made from pork, pork liver, and pork skin ground up mixed with cornmeal and buckwheat and formed into a patty that's fried up. It's not all that different from haggis except pork instead of lamb. Served much like white/black pudding is with breakfasts in England/Ireland.
Hello from Minnesota! The Juicy Lucy’s are amazing!! One warning: be careful of the first bite because the cheese inside is extremely hot! 🍔😁
I'm in Philly and a great go-to breakfast sandwich is scrapple, egg and cheese on a roll or bagel with ketchup...that is pure comfort!
Don't let them North Jersey bennies tell you different. It's pork roll. A pork roll, egg, & cheese sandwich on a kaiser roll is food of the gods. BUT an unofficial comfort food for South Jersey is the Jersey tomato sandwich. It's just sliced up Jersey tomatoes on white bread with mayo, salt, & pepper. You'll thank me later.
I was just in nj, didn’t have that but what’s not to like. Bread check, mayo check, tomato you need some of the good stuff check and add a dash of salt …yummmm
I never made a sandwich like that usually a have a BACON-LETTUCE AND TOMATO IE B.L.T. but this summer I’m skip the lettuce and bacon…
Last time I had that the tomato was vine ripened and I added bacon and lettuce. Sorry, I can't even slice a tomato without wanting bacon and lettuce with it. But not lately. Once you've grown your own? store bought just pisses you off.
You're on point with the tomato sandwich, and let's also point out that Jersey tomatoes are fantastic, as well as being a staple food for the state. As a Northern Jersey native, I'm also in the Pork Roll camp and for those who aren't from the area, believe us that the Pork Roll vs Taylor Ham war is very real lol.
damn calling out the bennies! but i agree ITS PORK ROLL
Dungeness Crab, and Smoked Salmon, finished with Marionberry pie in Oregon.
NOTHING BEATS HOMEMADE CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS 🐣🐤🐣🐤.... ESPECIALLY ON A COLD WINTERS DAY
YOUR BELLY WILL SMILE 😍😍😍
YES
I am having such a good time watching this New Zealand family talk like they live in America lol ❤
I'm so glad I found this channel.
I love a large baked potato topped with lots of REAL butter...then lots of chili, onions, shredded cheese, an a couple dollops of sour cream. You can put bacon bit on if you like........ Just a thought.....
Had a good laugh at the chosen Washington food. Although we do grow cherries, we are far better known for APPLES. But you can also split the State in two via the Cascade mountains. Apples on the east side. But on the west side, smoked or barbecued Salmon!
The Massachusetts state cookie is the Toll House Cookie, usually called the Chocolate Chip Cookie because it started here. Our state dessert is Boston Cream Pie, which is a cake. The Boston Cream Pie Donut is our state Donut. Dunkin Donuts first location is in Quincy, pronounced Quin-zee, and now just named Dunkin
On the Southern artery. Boston cream pie is good.
Not just a Kansas comfort meal, having chili with a cinnamon roll is a must in the Winter!
Also, the chicken wing clip you saw was from a "Saturday Night Live" skit.
When you go to TN. For breakfast, get a country ham buttermilk biscuit. IF they happen to have, which I doubt they don't...Livermush...Livermush sandwich on toast or a livermush biscuit. Livermush is known in NC a speciality here.
chile con carne always reminds me of cold cloudy days in texas, i wasn't expecting it to be on the list but it is definitely a great comfort food.
Connecticut - I grew up there and never heard of a steamed cheeseburger. In fact the one cheeseburger that has been and always will be the best in the state (since 1949) is the one's from Shady Glen in Manchester CT. My favorite comfort food is not really specific to CT - but still worth mentioning - Yankee Pot Roast.
I would have said New Haven pizza is our state comfort food, but I have seen steamed cheeseburgers around.
I am a rare individual because I am a native Marylander! Those of us who were born and raised here in Maryland are in the minority. That being said, even though I have had crab cakes before, it is not my favorite dish. I do like them. But I must be a Texan at heart because I absolutely love chili con carne!
I have a couple of cast iron skillets. And I cut up peppers and onions while I am browning lean ground beef. I put a can of diced tomatoes and kidney beans in it. I put my own spice mix that I call Mike's Pizzazz in it as well!
I like being able to sing a line from a pop song when I am eating it: "And you, you light up my life!"
I hope you are thoroughly enjoying your time here in my country! I love you guys!
Crab Cakes are sooo good with the right sauce, though.
The best Mexican food you’ll find is either in California or Arizona. Make sure you don’t do fast food but a sit down restaurant. Each area will have a favorite restaurant so ask a local where their favorite Mexican restaurant is. That probably goes for everywhere you’ll go. If you head to the Grand Canyon make sure to stop at Williams, Arizona. Best streak is at a restaurant that is known for its cow logo. Again ask a local.
Enjoy your time here and honestly it’s ok to skip places if your having a good time in a city or state park.
I agree. Massive diversity in california foods
in CA if you want a quality alternative, you might need to find a good taco stand set up in a parking lot. Instagram has some good ones.
Pepperoni rolls are the best thing listed on this video 💯!! I’m old school and don’t do much on the internet but I could give you guys 3 different recipes for pepperoni rolls.. all 🔥
Montanan here, Indian (fry bread) Tacos are delicious. I love fry bread! Anything made with Huckleberry and Flathead Cherries are also famous in Montana. Bison burger is better than regular hamburger.
Hey! Fellow Montanan here as well! And I absolutely agree on this! Fry bread is so delicious, and also bison burgers! To me bison burgers are also more satisfying than normal burgers, and this is off topic but, it's also nice to see another Montanan here, I hope you have an amazing day or night!
@@ScrungefaceCat Thanks you have a good day too!
Their reaction to my states food (Minnesota) was priceless 😂
As a Missourian, toasted ravioli is not a comfort food lol. Granted I'm from SWMO, and the only time I had ravioli as a kid was from a can lol. I would have to say comfort food for me was Chicken fried steak...or Biscuits and Gravy. 😉 Love this channel y'all rock.
I was going to say I'd never heard that either! I was born in Missouri although I grew up in Kansas. I would definitely agree either Chicken Fried Steak or Biscuits and Gravy.
Or the amazing bbq! Why does kansas get the bbq nod. Their state is named after our city, we are BBQ not Kansas. This shows this list is probably made by and ignorant writer from New York or Los Angeles.
@@CM-sr8qt KC BBQ is THE BEST!
I would agree 100%!! I’m in KC! Had fried ravioli once! But CFS and biscuits and gravy are my number ones!
Ha! I said the same!
I'm from Minnesota. Loved all your faces during the Juicy Lucy. 😍
I live in Rancho San Diego, just 25 miles from the Mexican border. There is an abundance of Mexican-style comfort foods in San Diego County, such as huevos rancheros, barbacoa tacos, quesadillas, tortilla soup, street corn, posole, empanadas and so much more!
I lived in SD for 14 years. I’m in Ohio now and I sooo miss good Mexican food! Hoping to make a trip back soon, and making a run for the border!
California Burrito for the win. I lived in SD for 12 years.
You mentioned you were going to be in Arizona. In Tucson yesterday May 28, 2024 we hit our first 100 F day. Temperatures will be 103 - 105F by the end of the week. That will only increase as we enter June, July, August and probably September. Please plan you trip accordingly. Winter is the best time to visit Arizona.
People look down on foods like scrapple, but if you're looking to waste as little as possible, those foods & dishes that make use of the extraneous bits & pieces are really important 🐖
Oh, come on, don't listen to these "Scrapple Deniers!" 🤣🤣 I'm a Pennsylvania boy who grew up loving scrapple for breakfast and miss it dearly now that I have become Florida Man! The locals are joking when they "bad mouth" the ingredients. My wife's family used to often make their own scrapple on their farm. It is a mixture of fine-ground pork and beef with buckwheat flour and/or corn meal with black pepper blended into a paste and formed into a bread loaf shape. People who don't like it might just have not ever had it prepared properly. You slice it into thin slices about 9 to 10 mm thick and fry it long and slow in a high smoke-point oil so that it gets firm all the wat through and crispy on the outside. Serve it drowned in natural maple syrup.
I'm from Pennsylvania, scraple is good, but I would've never thought that they picked this as our state best.
I have lived in Pittsburgh my whole life and never heard of it.
Scrapple and pork roll are my favorite things there!
Scrapple is basically fresh Spam minus a few ingredients. Just leftover pork trimmings mashed together. We really don’t waste anything.
Ohio always ends up being “buckeyes” and it makes me want to shout- there are other things that represent Ohio - 1 being Goetta , 2 being Cincinnati chili ❤
I've lived in Ohio my whole life and have never tried either of those. I would love to though. I must live too North, close to the Michigan border.
Have always called Ohioans Buckeyes and to this day don't know what that even means. lol
@@EmberDogOfFire you have to try Skyline - there are some in Columbus and Cleveland. Goetta is similar to scrapple, but made with oats.
@@ct6852the buckeye is our state tree. They’re everywhere, to the point that Ohioans themselves (not to mention our OSU football team) are called Buckeyes.
@@EmberDogOfFireyou can still get buckeyes anywhere. Homemade are the best, but there are several companies that make them. They’re especially prevalent during football season.
Steamed cheeseburgers from Ted's in Meriden, CT...the best. No grease, and the melted Vermont white cheddar is magic.
Also, Maine lobster rolls are great, but try Connecticut lobster rolls. Warm lobster meat in melted butter on a toasted New England roll...a "top loader" (never a hot dog bun). I hope you all get to try these 😊
As A Nevada Resident I can say that Prime rib is not A Comfort food for Nevadans. That's all for the Tourists.
What would u say is our comfort food cause I’m a Nevada resident born and raised but idk what our food would be
@@Dinodude83 Nevada resident, too, for me comfort food is chicken fried steak with country gravy. . .although for decadence, I love Black Bear's Blackberry bearclaw French Toast!
@@mountainnekoi'm not from Nevada but i love chicken fried steak
I'm from Wisconsin and fried cheese curds are definitely a favorite as well as the day fresh squeaky curds. Like everything else the quality can vary greatly depending where you get them. Another favorite is the bratwurst. Especially if you slow cook them in beer and sauerkraut and finish them off on the grill!
If you want to try jambalaya. You need to know cajun has no tomatoes and creole has the tomatoes. True jambalaya is cajun.
I'm from Connecticut, I also lived in Meriden for 22 years and I literally lived less then a mile from Teddy's Steam Burgers. My rents and brother LOVE THEM! It's like a rare treat for them to have.
Green Chile stew is much more appropriate for New Mexico than Colorado. Chile is a staple on many New Mexican menus. The Hatch valley in southern New Mexico is home to what is internationally recognized as some of the world's best green chile. Albondigas? I was born and raised in NM and I have never had albondigas!
It's because in Colorado we have Pork Green Chili and it's in practically every restaurant has it's completely different than what New Mexico has which is chili Verde so they misrepresented it. The big difference is Colorado pork green chili is 10 times better than what New Mexico has.
Right! I've never seen that either. Not even at the traditional Mexican places in Abq that serve tongue. I think CO paid them to steal NM's green chili stew because they're not known for their food. Especially not their weak green chili stew, might as well use bell peppers.
@@artistnyc123 It's the same dish! The narrator of the video even said "it was first drummed up by Spanish settlers." Where did the Spanish settle first? NM or Colorado? lol One thing is for sure, Colorado Chile peppers can't hold a candle to Hatch grown green chile. It's world renowned for a reason!
Arkansan here: We do love chicken and dumplings but I think them showing the biscuit dough is slightly misleading. You can make chicken and dumplings that way but we usually make dumplings thinner and more rectangular shaped! But it's definitely a comfort food here! That and biscuits and chocolate gravy!!
I've lived in Utah all my life, we used to have funeral potatoes every sunday. My comfort food is a different take on Shepherd's pie or Poor Man's Casserole depending on where you're from. Browned ground beef, green beans, tomato soup mixed in a casserole dish, topped with garlic mashed potatoes and shredded cheese baked in the oven until the cheese is melted. My grandma used to make it, my mom made it for us kids, and now I make it for my nieces and nephews. It's never not been a hit for my family and the best part is it's just as good for leftovers.
Y'all have to try New Orleans food, preferably in New Orleans. 😉 There is no other place like it in America. Very unique. And the food is INSANELY good!
I would say to try the deep dish pizza but also get an Italian beef sandwich DIPPED, sweet and/or hot giardiniera and a CHOCOLATE CAKE SHAKE from Portillos, and since you'll be there, get a Chicago dog dragged through the garden.
Mouth watering yummy comfort food from the States
I am 49, have lived in Pennsylvania my entire life, and never heard of scrapple. So many other foods this state is known for! I live in Pittsburgh, so not a small town by any means.
It’s definitely a thing on the eastern end of the state. You can buy it in stores in Jersey around Philly too.
Thank you for sharing such an awesome message.Glory to God my family are happy once again
and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement.$57k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.
Hello how do you make such weekly??
I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God.
Maria Angelina Alexander I really appreciate her efforts and transparency.
I remember giving her my first savings $20000 and she opened a brokerage account for me it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
This is a definition of God's unending provisions for his people. God remains faithful to his words. I receive this for my household.🙏
I will leave her information below this comment.
The tenderloin sandwich is always good, but another fav for Indiana is the corn on the cob. Goes good with just about anything. A lot of corn grown here so it is plentiful. Another fav in NC is collard greens. Usually, served in the fall. Its usually cooked in a big pot and boiled for several hours. The water its boiled in becomes something known as pot-liquor and is very nutritious. So much so that mothers would even give to their babies.
Hi from Indiana
I'm originally from Pennsylvania and we never had scrapple. Depending on what side of the state you come from it would be either cheesesteak sandwiches(Eastern PA) or perogies(Western PA). My mother was from Iowa and sweet corn is a definite. For holidays, I make a family recipe called Scalloped Corn, the recipe I have has been handed down through the family. It's not the recipe that is online. Every summer we would go to Iowa and load up with 6-8 gallons of popcorn to bring back to PA. Best sweet corn ever in Iowa. My husband and I live in GA, peaches are a go too here.
Hello from beautiful, pure Michigan!
Was just in Michigan for Memorial day weekend
At 1:37 Chimichangas are NOTHING NEW they have been around MUCH longer than I have been alive, and I'm OVER 50 years OLD!, They are NOTHING more than a deep fried burrito! Nothing more, NOTHING less! BUT, they ARE delicious! 🤤
Oregon here--I know I've said this on some of your other videos, but one comfort _snack_ on the Oregon coast is definitely craisins--dried, sweetened cranberries. (I don't know how popular they are in other parts of the country, or in NZ for that matter, but there's a lot of cranberry growing around here and we have all sorts of cranberry snacks and desserts.)
Another thing we have is Pacific salmon, which can be cooked and eaten in a variety of different ways.
22:40. Atlanta hit the nail on the head, LITERALLY She did. A lot of our American recipes were created by accident , and we Americans instead of dumping them into the bin, tried to improve. We are still a young nation less than 300 years old, Yet our spirit of pioneering and making as Bob Ross would say " Happy little accidents" into Great Results is what separates Ourselves. We are a Nation whom is not afraid to make accidents into wonderful creations. We are the Nation that the Schools would kick out whilst learning, and come back in less than 300 years as a Mere Republic with Imperial Strength, Earth wise, and Space Interstellar Technology. We may be the one nation on Earth that has never believed in a half cup/glass empty. If we Fail, then at Least we Tried. If we Succeed, then better for Ourselves. Half Cup Full Mentality is what has made us soo successful in such a SHORT time.
This video definitely has a few things wrong. Mississippi is a tall-shaped state so I'm sure there are multiple comfort foods depending on the region. I'm on the gulf coast and it doesn't even snow here, unlike the mid and northern part of the state.
I personally enjoy any seafood, especially shrimp or crawfish (low country boil). Chicken and dumplings and fried green tomatoes are also a hit. And a real comfort meal would be some type of meat such as fried chicken, fried pork chop, roast, prime rib or a grilled steak or ribs with sides such as baked or mashed potatoes, some type of greens (turnip, mustard or collard) with cornbread, some type of peas or beans (field, crowder, or butterbeans), creamed fried skillet corn cut fresh off the stalk, and fresh sliced tomatoes. You know... things that come from a garden. Being the poorest state, we are definitely large on gardening and fresh, homegrown foods. Comfort food would be what Grandma used to make for Sunday supper when we'd all go visit her. Being next-door to Louisiana, I also grew up enjoying gumbo.
The northern part of the state probably enjoys barbecue more because of the influence of Memphis, TN. But we also love our barbecue down here.
One thing that's NOT huge here is poboys. You can occasionally find them on a menu but it's not a "go-to" for anyone in these parts. As a matter of fact and contrary to the video, it's not even native to Mississippi. It was created in New Orleans, LA.

Good food everywhere! I've lived in Minnesota for 30 years and have yet to see a Juicy Lucy on any menu. My favorite soup is New England Clam Chowder which is very hard to find in the Midwest.
Hotdish should be the Minnesota state food! But which one? ❤
These are comfort foods.
@@berniej.rucker4252 have you ever had a Juicy Lucy? I eat in restaurants about 100 times a year and have yet to find one to try. 🙂
@@anneo3754 Yes I have. The cheese is somehow INFUSED in the middle of the burger!!! I think it is injected during the stages of medium rare and medium then fried until either done or well done.
The place I tried it USED to have it on their menu but you could possibly special order it from OFF the menu.
ALL restaurants have a "hidden menu" so if you ask around at places that make hamburgers (usually sports bars) you MIGHT get lucky!!!
Got to Matt’s or 5-8 Club. They’re both are over south Minneapolis. Other restaurants here sell their own version but those two restaurants are the originals.
@@berniej.rucker4252The cheese is added during the assembly. They take half of the meat and form a patty then add the cheese soeces chopped up in the middle. They then add the other half of the meat and form an other patty and seal the edges together.
Louisiana born and raised myself. I love a good jambalaya, and a spicy gumbo when we get the first chill in the air. If I had to choose a state comfort food though, it'd be crispy deep-fried boudin balls. Eat them plain, or dip them in ranch or remoulade. Preferably from a truck stop off I-10. They usually have the best ones.
Here in Florida we love our seafood especially shrimp & oysters
So right. I live just outside Pensacola
Native Washingtonian here. Washington is literally known for apples... And apple pie is like the stereotypical American dessert... How on earth did that video go with cherry pie instead of apple pie??
Yeah as someone whose also from Washington state. I did kinda wonder why it said Cherry pie instead of like apple or mentioning sea food or coffee here. Which are also pretty popular things around here.
I bet they say South Carolina is Shrimp and grits, but in the upstate its not that big. We go Porkchops seared in Applebutter and peach relish.
Hello from Florida
Pensacola here
Bison meat is extremely lean and the meat has a sweeter taste than beef. It is so yummy.. Because it's so lean and not a lot of fat. It has to be cooked at a lower temperature and not burn the meat. All you need is salt and pepper.
Oklahoma has a good size population of Native Americans.. In the summer they do fund raisers for the church and sell Navajo tacos..
lol.. I made Navajo tacos when my son brought his girlfriend for the first time. Everyone was standing in line to assemble their taco. Lol.. Everyone watched in horror as she made her Navajo taco.. first topping taco meat.. she skips the pinto beans with the juice, everyone is looking around at each other.. the bread absorbs the bean juice.. making the fry bread more tender and fluffy without being soggy. She then added lettuce.. tomato .. onion.. cheese.. leaves off the guacamole, jalapeños sour cream and picanta sauce.. goes to the fridge grabs the 1000 Island dressing and tops off her Navajo taco with 1000 Island salad dressing. Everyone is freaking out.. looking at each other in horror and just smiling at her.. It's a taco with fry bread instead of flour or corn tortillas. Who in the world would go to a Mexican restaurant and put 1000 island on a hard shell or soft shell tacos.. That's a slap to the face. An out right insult.
Navajo tacos and fry bread dessert is awesome.
Fry bread can also be eaten as a dessert.. you can sprinkle it with powder surgar.. or my favorite.. topped with honey.. yummy.. I do the same with leftover flour tortillas. Fry them in a little oil.. I love it when air pockets develope. When golden brown remove them from the oil. drop in a paper bag with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. You have a crispy sweet dessert. Then it's the simplified version.. Fry until golden brown, remove the fried flour tortilla.. let it drain on a paper towel. Tear a small hole in one of the air pockets and squeeze in a small amount of honey.. It's still messy to eat.. but it's a little less messy to eat.
Sadly my favorite bbq restaurant burned down I doubt they will rebuild. They served the best chicken fried steak. The full order the steak is massive. It tok two people to finish this steak.. O order the large.. for dinner and have it for lunch the next day. Half order was an average size chicken fried steak, smothered in gravy.. just the right amount of salt. Some places the gravy has too much salt in the gravy.
Chicken fried steak.. smothered in gravy.. mashed potatoes topped with gravy.. green beans cooked in a little bacon grease. Deep fried okra is good.. Okra pan fried (not deep fried) bread with egg and jiffy corn muffin mix, your favorite seasonings fried in bacon grease, is so good.. it gives the okra added flavor.
If your gravy isn't made wjth bacon grease/fat.. lol.. then your gravy isn't country/southern.. I came across a tiktok video a man showing women how to dispose of that evil bacon fst after cooking bacon.. 😅lol
Southern moms were having a fit over Northern people toss out bacon grease. Only southern people get this. I have 2 grease tins. One for bacon grease and one for cooking oil.. there is a sivethat allows the grease or oil to pass through the small holes, catching crumb bits in the top.. cleaning the oil and grease.. Another southern dish that started in the south. And you will not believe it exists.. Chocolate gravy.. My mom made this often.. It's a gravy.. with cocoa powder and sugar. Its amost like a chocolate pudding.. you pour it over buttermilk biscuits. The savory of the biscuits tones down some of the sweetness of the chocolate geavy. Kinda like the way the peanut butter compliments or tones down the chocolate in Reese peanut butter cups. Chocolate gravy was a staple in our home growing up. I have never seen chocolate gravy on any menu in any restaurant.. You can not buy this in a restaurant. At least not the ones I have dined at. Lol.. Yankees had the nerve to clam chocolate gravy their own
I've lived in Pennsylvania for almost 60 years and have never heard of Scrapple. That's probably from the other side of the state, by Philadelphia. Come to Pittsburgh for a delicious Primanti's sandwich (sandwich with coleslaw and french fries on the sandwich).
I'm from Chicago and I've heard of scrapple. I think it is a east Pennsylvania thing.
@@tony_25or6to4 that's what I said, a Philadelphia thing. I'm in Pittsburgh - the good side of the state. 😁
Love Denzel’s reactions.
Ikr 😂😂😂❤
Yes New Mexico is known for its green chile, especially Hatch Green Chile. Colorado green chilie does NOT compare!!! 😊
i think it does im mexican i prefer colorados
Pueblo green chilies are fabulous!
Colorado is Chili Verde. It's a dish.
New Mexico is Hatch green chilies and is a sauce for other dishes.
Pueblo chiles are generally hotter and bolder in flavor than other chiles, and can range in heat from 5,000-20,000 Scoville Heat Units.
Mosco, Anaheims, Fresnos, and Poblanos
Yes to this! Pueblo chilis are the the bomb
I say this on reaction to this food video, Scrapple is only common in the eastern part of Pennsylvania (PA). I grew up on the western side of PA, and I would say Pierogies or in northwest PA Pepperoni Balls would be the comfort food. I never heard of scrapple until I was like 10 when we went to the Lancaster area.
Love your channel (I want to move to New Zealand when I'm older) (also first time I have seen a video that says it was posted a few seconds ago)
I love Denzies reactions, he looks like he’d be in food heaven over here 😊. I mentioned scones or fry bread with honey butter I believe is also unique to Utah as well as fry sauce- ketchup/mayo mix
If you like a hot dog, you'll likely enjoy scrapple. It's pretty much the same but different. It's processed pork products like a dog, but instead of a sausage, it's made into a loaf. It's really good. It's mostly sold at diners in the mid-atlantic area (Pennsy, Delaware, New Jersey) and since diners serve breakfast, lunch & dinner pretty much around the clock, you can get it whenever you like. I prefer it with syrup in the morning and with ketchup if i have it later in the day. And if you or any travelling commenters go to that area, don't go to Denny's for it. Go to a local diner - they're everywhere and they provide a more homestyle flavor.
Sup kiwis!
Maryland has the best Crab cakes but it also has Crabs by the dozen or all you can eat and served in Crab feasts with fried, spiced 0r boiled shrimp covered in Old Bay seasoning with corn on the cob, French Fries an Deep fried hush puppies! Crab soup is also a winner at Duchess Daughter in Frederick Maryland!
I actually live in Alabama, and while fried green tomatoes are popular here, another one that should also be explored is white BBQ chicken, white uses a white BBQ sauce
Big Bob Gibson and his AL white sauce! As a Tennessean who grew up just five miles from the AL state line near Huntsville, I can certainly attest to the deliciousness that is that White Sauce! It’s especially tasty on pulled chicken or turkey. 💁🏻♀️
Fried bread is also good by taking any unused warm fry bread and serving it for desert by dipping it in butter then a cinnamon/sugar coating and topping it with ice cream.
Yeah the Oregon one is way wrong, born and raised here and outside the coast where there is crabbing all most no restaurants in the whole state even have fresh sea food, our coast is almost all little towns of a few thousand people so sea food is rare in our state to find at restaurants, the closest thing we have to state thing is ranch dressing, we put it on everything esp dipping pizza in it.
I like scrabble and it has a taste all its own and their is nothing disgusting in it. When I was a kid and hatted okra but my mom accidently burnt the okra she was frying. My who family would ask her to slightly burn okra when frying it, and now I even like it steamed. My comfort food is fried potatoes then on the plate put cheese on it and then a eggs over easy on top of that. I first tried it at restaurant after church called Po Folks.
While I do love me some sweet corn... I'm not gonna lie that's one of my favorite things... however as a comfort food... it's easy... Macaroni and cream of mushroom soup... with a bit of butter. Just plain ole macaroni noodles with a can of Campbell's (this is a must no scrimping on cheap stuff!)... cream of mushroom soup on it... and some butter a little bit of milk... and fresh ground pepper. Was something my Mom used to make us when I was a kid.
Honestly, almost anything shown in the video could be considered a comfort food for me, but my real comfort foods are those present at holidays. That would be green bean casserole made with classic Campbells cream of mushroom and topped with fried onions, baked macaroni and cheese with bread crumb topping, and potatoes au gratin.
I'm from Montana and love me some fry bread tacos. For a dessert dish however; nothing tops a cheesecake made with fresh wild Montana Huckleberries.❤❤
You should try Scrapple at least once! It's just like a sausage or maybe even a bit like haggis from descriptions I've heard of that. It's just made from the tiny bits of meat that can't be used in other ways (like tiny scrap meat from the cheeks etc), grain and spices. It should be fried so it's crisp on the outside and smooth and on the inside.
ETA: I agree with a previous poster about my favorite comfort food as mine is also a tomato sandwich, to answer your question.
