I'm a born and raised southerner, I love grits, but only with butter, salt and pepper 😊
occasionally, with sharp cheddar cheese
exactly... no sugar, that's for oatmeal only.... and you can add some kind of protein (crumbled sausage, crumbled bacon, cubed ham pieces, or even shrimp) and some people like to also add cheese... your choice.
I'm from Knoxville TN and that's the way I like my grits too.
Born and raised in the northeast and here to say I love grits too! They are amazing and I agree.. never sugar! I don't think I've ever met a southern cuisine I didn't like.
I'm from Naht Cackalacak born and raised, and I'll take my grits your way or with cheese and be one happy camper
This isn't an every day breakfast. It's more of a Sunday morning with family breakfast.
You're right!
Then a nap on the couch with a football game on.
❤❤❤
UsualTexas Sunday breakfast. They're missing coffee though.
@@european-reactsyou’re a deprived European.
The Loveless Cafe is world famous. For 35 years only one lady made those biscuits, after she passed away another lady took over and continued the tradition.
The rural mom and pops restaurants are usually the best , not the chain restaurants .
Look for an abundance of police cars or semi trucks and more than likely your golden
There's a BBQ place up the road where it's almost impossible to find a parking spot. Trucks, cops, work crews, all the working stiffs go there.
Food is great, it's cheap, and it's fast.
Just have to remember that at truck stop restaurants, the truckers are fed first so they can get back on the road. The wait will be worth it though!
Don’t forget about the husky people coming and going. 😂
@@franciet99 true dat , but it's probably a buffet style and not as high quality
“That’s a lot of butter.” Americans are literally rolling on the floor laughing.
Also the French. Haw hee haw haw.
Saying you are going to have grits is like saying you are going to have rice or potatoes. There are thousands of ways to make them, and everyone likes something different. if you stuck a bowl of white rice on the table, you probably would not be too impressed, but give you a list of things you can choose to add and the story changes.
Great comparison! ❤
Yes. Grits tend to absorb the flavor of whatever else is put on top.
This is why shrimp and grits is so amazing.
Thanks. Now I can say for sure I have no idea if I like grits: )
So the thing to do is to have grits with white rice, mashed potato, tofu, great northern white beans, and sago paste? Maybe sprinkle some all-purpose flour on top?
this kind of breakfast was common when people did a lot of manual labor.. this kept you going and not hungry until late dinner and gave you enough energy to do all that work through the whole day.... you worked so hard that you burned tons of calories and need a big breakfast like this to do all the work.... now that most people don't work like that, it's more of a weekend breakfast...
You're American too brother. Its a mindset, and we happily embrace you. 🇵🇹
Closest thing to grits you would know would be polenta
Very popular in northern Italy....
Americans LOVE food... eating it or watching others eating it! Even just cooking it. So many foods and flavors to try, it is never boring.
I have never been to Loveless Cafe and not sure where it is at, but I have heard about the food for years, especially the biscuits, A hashbrown casseroles are made differently everywhere. It looks like that casserole has shredded potatoes and cheese mixed together. They probably have other ingredients that I can't see, but I do see the shredded potatoes & cheese. When I went to visit my grandmother in Alabama, I woke up in the morning to the smell of bread baking, the aroma of coffee, the sound and aroma of bacon frying, and more. I ran into the kitchen to see if I could help with any of the cooking and was so shocked. I had never seen anything like it. My grandmother was taking a pan full of biscuits out of the oven, had bacon cooking in a skillet, potatoes frying in another skillet, and sausage gravy in another. On the table was a ham that she had sliced several pieces off of, sausage patties, scrambled eggs, cornbread, and some pancakes. She said she wasn't sure what we would like for breakfast, so she "cooked a few things in the hopes that we would eat something." WE PIGGED OUT AND ATE ALMOST EVERYTHING!! My grandmother was the most greatest and most amazing cook! I hope one day you and your family will be able to come to America, stay for several months, go to many places, and try the food from each region. Until then, may God Bless and Protect you and your family always and shower you all with many wonderful blessings.
It’s located in Nashville, Tennessee. Funny enough I live in Nashville and I’ve never been.
Mimosas are a really popular drink for brunch. You can definitely get drunk if you drink too many. Typically if they sell Mimosas then they also sell Bloody Mary cocktails. Both have alcohol but both are drank more as a special occasion and not drank everyday.
“You can definitely get drunk if you drink too many.” Thanks Nostradamus
I like this couple a lot more nice and the Italian guy doesn't complain like the other couple this is good people
Mimosas are champagne and orange juice.
Screwdrivers are vodka and orange juice.
Both are delicious. 😋
Phillips screwdrivers are vodka and orange juice with a splash of cranberry juice. Fuzzy navels are orange juice with peach schnapps. Also good. 😊
Southerners eat biscuits with any meal! Growing up, we had biscuits with the vast majority of our meals-they’re fairly cheap to make.
You might enjoy another reactor’s video that goes through his first time with biscuits and gravy. The channel is Patrol Nation and Lyle is Australian. Not only was it his first time eating biscuits and gravy, he makes the biscuits and gravy himself. I think the video is titled something like “Aussie tries biscuits and gravy.” Cheesy grits are awesome! You do have to cook grits properly-they must be salted! Grits are somewhat like polenta.
Home made biscuits are the best. Like you said, they're cheap to make. You make a bowl of batter and bake the biscuits in the oven.
Butter on top, obviously. Cut them open sideways and watch that steam pour out. Then put some butter on the inside too. DO NOT use cold butter. Get some room temp butter and slap it on there. That's the way.
If you have any breakfast meat like sausage, ham, or bacon, you can put that inside. Fried egg and cheese are good too.
Or you can spread jam, jelly, or preserves inside. Maybe fresh fruit as well. I can't resist black berry preserves in a biscuit. That's just too good. Strawberry also. Do it.
Get creative and try a variety of things to eat inside a biscuit.
If you have some kind of thick stew get a biscuit to sop up the gravy at the bottom of the bowl. Biscuits are great for sopping. That's why so many Americans eat biscuits and gravy. It's a perfect match.
A biscuit done right is golden brown on the outside with just a little bit of crunch to it. The inside must be light and flaky. Not heavy and hard like a scone. It should almost melt in your mouth and magically disappear down your throat.
Flour, eggs, and a few other common ingredients and you could be eating biscuits today.
I'm sure there are videos for making the perfect biscuit.
That is a big breakfast. Pimento cheese is a mixture of mayonnaise, chedder cheese and pimento peppers. Those are the fundamental ingredients. Lot's of people add spices and other ingredients to their taste.
I love how much you love the south. You have to visit soon brother! I never realized just how great the south is until I left it.
Can't wait!
Hate to tell you, there is nothing special about the South other than humidity and horrible heat in the summer.
Sorry. There’s nothing special about the South really.
You're right Jesse and Alessio are a very positive couple who clearly love each other very much and have a lot of fun introducing Alessio to everything American and him showing us some Italian things as well. I have followed them for about a year. Their channel is a rabbit hole that it's fun to go down. 🤠
I love watching Jessie and Alessio. They seem super sweet. Their journey to try to have a child us so hard.
Grits. Ah, grits. Okay, so take some corn kernels and put them in lye until the husk bursts and the kernels double or triple in size. You can eat it like that (usually canned) called hominy. Or, they then dry and grind it into....grits! Best grits are cooked in chicken stock and have almost equal amounts cheese as grits. Neither hominy nor grits have much flavor on their own. You need cheese and bacon if you want savory, or honey or syrup if you want to sweeten them. Very neutral flavor.
This is the place you should visit. Nashville, Tennessee. Those pictures on the wall are famous Country & Western stars.
Loveless is a well-known establishment. Shaun has a video (I think driving from Tennessee to Georgia) where he goes there. You could probably do a search and get several.
He also reacted to this couple before. When the chat said his English was better than the Italian guys living in America. 🤣
The reason it's important to get or make very good biscuits is the butter. The butter has to be the right temperature and has to be mixed in in the right way and with the right timing in order to get proper salty moist flakiness of southern American biscuits. The method and temperature have to be right in order for the fat and moisture in the butter to be properly distributed in the biscuit to create a crispy exterior and a moist, flaky interior. If it is done carelessly and the butter is all just mixed into a homogenous dough blob, they just taste like scones. Real, proper southern biscuits are so much better than scones.
Crisco or lard also works in biscuits. I don't do it because I'm in healthcare so I can't bring myself to eat pure lard at home, lol 😂 but my granny always used half lard half butter in her biscuits and they were the absolute best.
Not a traditional Southern breakfast but definitely looks good. More like a weekend brunch thing than an actual breakfast in my opinion. To me a traditional Southern breakfast plate would be 1 or 2 biscuits open face with sausage gravy, hash browns, bacon, a side of grits, and a plate of sliced tomatoes when they're in season. That's a farmers breakfast lol
There is nothing like a garden-ripened beefsteak tomato, sliced. Well, maybe fresh sweet corn.
I've watched a lot of this couple as well as the other people you react to and I must say I fully believe you would enjoy reacting to more of their content.
For thousands of years, food has brought people of different cultures together. America has someone from everywhere and that contributes to how amazing the food is. You are more than welcome, my friend, to come here and try some. In most places if people know you're in America for the food, they'll have suggestions. Sometimes they'll even buy you dinner at "the best" restaurant. My favorite diner in any place in America is a place in Pueblo Colorado called The Black Swan. Chinese food and American food. Only place that has french fries, grilled cheese, tobasco sauce, fried rice, and they even did some things that weren't on the menu for me in the past. I haven't been there in years. Hard to get the time to go down there.
Hashbrown casserole is so good. Grits are divisive. 😊 It's not a typical breakfast most of us are grabbing something to go out the door to work. This takes TIME. But it what was eaten when moms stayed home or now on the weekend. I do it on weekends sometimes.
You can never, ever, have too much butter on your biscuit! If you think you have enough, you can always add more! I eat mine with butter and a little honey! Perfection!
I’m a Californian raised by Northeasterners and I’ve lived in the south for decades. I’m not a fan of grits, the texture is not my thing.
I love hash browns, and hash brown casseroles too much for me.
And we don’t eat huge breakfasts like this every day. They are once a week at the most! We go out on Saturday for breakfast like this. Then you need a nap!
The days when I could eat this once a week are ancient history; once in a blue moon would be more like it now.
I love watching you react to food. ( Shawn and his wife ate here too.) Thank you for this.👏
Biscuits can REALLY vary from place to place! This sounds like some of the best and many others excel at biscuit making too but other places can just be so-so. Keep this in mind when you first try biscuits.
Loveless hashbrown casserole is famous. It has: hashbrown's, yellow onion chopped, cheddar cheese, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salt and black pepper. It truly is fantastic!!!
Yes, the content is fun, but I personally come for YOUR reaction!! You are so freah and alive with your reactions ❤️ Much Love and Thanks....from Baltimore, Maryland
Here in West Virginia we prefer homemade country gravy , sausage , and home homemade buttermilk biscuits ! Combined to make sausage gravy and biscuits !
mimosas are common for 'brunch' when you (more commonly women) meet friends out around 10:30-11:00, usually on a weekend day (commonly Saturday). it's some kind of juice (usually orange juice) mixed 1:1 with sparkling wine of some kind (usually champagne). you CAN get drunk on them if you have too many, but if it's just 1, then you'll be fine.
Mimosas are a light, refreshing drink, usually served at Brunch. Another popular Brunch drink is a Bloody Mary, Vodka, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, and spices.
Mimosa, champagne and Orange juice. Made popular in the early era of hot air ballooning. A hot air balloon would crash in some farmer's fields and they would serve up mimosa for the passengers on the hot air balloon as well as the farmer who's field they crashed in.
Grits are kinda’ like polenta, but much coarser and need much more time to cook. I do 1 part grits to 5+ parts water, with the occasional splash of milk/cream, then butter, salt, WHITE pepper and - if available - a small Parm rind. Cook slowly, whisking often, for at least one hour. Amazing. Serve with anything, regardless of the time of day.
The one thing missing is the biscuits and gravy! American breakfast is the best!!! I love this couple, they are so fun! I always watch to the end....
There's a reason breakfast for dinner is so popular here. American breakfast is on another level.
BTW, It's Not a lot of Butter. Americans eat butter like Cheese. And Unlike in Europe the Biggest American Meals are Breakfast and Dinner/Supper, with Lunch being the smallest meal. Americans usually bring lunch to work, and it can't be big because we can't take a 'Siesta'. We just go back to work after it. So an early breakfast 5AM to 8AM is shared with our families, and it fortifies us all for the day. And than a 6:00PM to 8:00PM Supper/Dinner is the evening meal that we also have with our Families, just to wrap up our day up together and to break-bread with our loved ones. Breakfast & Dinner are the times we discuss things, spend quality time with our children, tell stories, and share important lessons. Lunch in America is just eating.
This couple is fun to watch. Glad you featured them. I think, you would love the food they ate in the video. Hope you can visit soon... we have great food in every state.
It's always fun to see people really enjoying a good meal.
Nice couple.
Southern food is cooked with love so it's Happy Food😂😂😂😂😂
Here's the easiest, BEST biscuit recipe. Yes, I'm from the south, and this is the only way I make them now: 2 cups self-rising flour, 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream. Add cream to flour, stir gently (don't overmix!) roll or pat out to 1/2", cut into 2" circles (make sure you dip the edges of your cutter in flour first), place 1" apart on greased baking sheet or cast iron skillet 475 degrees 10-12 minutes
I was raised by southerners, and I have always loved the cooking. I always try the food first before I add to it. Especially bread. Butter and jam can change the flavor completely.
Oh I love Jesse and alessio... They're such a cute couple!
And cheesy hash brown casserole assembly. Shredded potatoes, salt, pepper and cheese...
The fried green tomato. They do a little different. I like it with just flour breading but a lot in the South like it with flour and then coated with a cornmeal topping and then deep fried...
Southern hams are famous. Country ham. Smithfield ham. These are artisanal salt cured hams. Very expensive. Southern hams are a specialty in line with prosciutto ham or Serrano ham.
2 reasons to get a mimosa.
1. You feel like crap from the night before and it will bring you back to equilibrium.
2. You just want a light buzz in the morning to noon
Mimosa...champagne and orange juice...it's decades old...served at brunch everywhere
You can never have too much butter on a biscuit!
The drink is called Mimosa. It's champagne and orange juice. Where I am, it's usually drank with brunch. The biscuits can be eaten so many ways. My favorite is sausage in it like a sandwich. Or with butter and honey. They can be eaten for any meal on the side.
A Mimosa, not formosa.
@b.slocumb7763 thank you. Fixed it.
Brunch is a big deal (breakfast/lunch) on the weekend. I used to go every Sunday after Church with friends when I lived in the South. But brunch is big everywhere but you don’t eat this much during the week!
That would be $40 or $50 for that meal where I live in Florida.. Amazing video! That food is amzing,and when you get the real food,it's even better.
I love the freshness of West Coast cuisine, seafood dishes in the northeast, the Italian influences around New York and New Jersey, the Cuban and Cajun influences of the southeast. But there is absolutely no better food on the planet than Southern cooking!!!
I love the Pasini’s! They’re so funny, silly, and seem like nice people.
This is a special occasion breakfast. Not every day. They have what is called a Lumber Jack Breakfast. Pancakes with maple syrup, Toast, Hashbrowns, Eggs, Ham steak, sausages, Bacon, Belgian waffles, French Toast. Syrup on the Waffles and French toast. Heart attack special. Yeah, BABY!
Mimosa is a traditional brunch drink. It is orange juice with sparkling wine
Bellini is another brunch beverage. It is peach nectar with sparkling wine
Hash brown casserole is shredded potatoes baked with a country gravy, onions & cheese
(Think of the country gravy as a peppery bechamel sauce)
I love how the restaurant is just a converted house. No wonder it feels so warm and welcoming.
The drink is a Mimosa....orange juice and champagne or proseco. Alcohol is not typical breakfast drink. But for a special occasion or for brunch ( brunch is typically a mix of breakfast and lunch foods and served between 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Typical American breakfast is eggs, & bacon or ham or sausage or steak., toast or an English muffin and potatoes ( home fries or hash browns). But most people have both parents working so breakfast is usually on the go. Kids have cereal or pop tarts or an egg sandwich or a breakfast burrito....things that can get heated on toaster or micro and eaten on the go. I worked in a diner so people either left the house an jour early to get a sit down breakfast or grabbed a coffee to go and a fried egg bacon and cheese sandwich on a roll to go. Weekends are when most people sit down to a nice breakfast. Then there will be pancakrs , French toast or waffles, omelettes ,oatmeal grits. Of course we make and freeze everything so we can buy these things frozen and nuke them to rat on the go......fast food at home. Donuts and coffee are another quick grab.or bagels with cream cheese. Brunch is the best meal though because you can get some of everything and have a drink with it. FYI.....grits don't have much taste on their own. They need help with things like butter, salt and pepper, jam or cheese. Lots of people, me included will EST last nights supper.for breakfast, like cold pizza, spaghetti, pie, meatloaf etc. Whatever is in the fridge. 😂
Mix 2 cups self rising flour with 4 Tablespoons butter. Add enough buttermilk to make a very soft dough. Pat it out on a lightly floured surface to two inches thick. Cut into desired shapes ,place in buttered pan, and bake at 400 degrees F. for 12 to 15 minutes or til golden. Serve immediately! Enjoy!
As others here have said, grits is a ground corn porridge similar to polenta. In Italy, polenta is usually served with some sort of sauce or condiment. So is grits, even if it's only lots of butter. They are pretty flavorless by themselves.
Another adorable couple! I nearly fell over when the lady (Jessica I believe they said) started doing a little happy dance at the table because the food was good... My husband laughs at me all the time because I do something similar, accept I go full goofy with it and do what we have come to call my "happy toddler dance". This is not something I ever decided to do on purpose, it just come naturally to my silly self and it was so strange to see someone do something so similar! 😂
ETA: Ha! I posted too soon! He did a happy dance too! Now I need to eat there one day! lol
Oooh…they’re at the Loveless Cafe! It’s well known across the country for their amazing biscuits and breakfast. It’s not a chain, and it’s been around for a very long time. This is a lovely couple, you might want to check out their other videos, especially when the go to Italy to surprise his family. A mimosa is orange juice and champagne, Prosecco or another sparkling white wine. This would usually be a weekend breakfast, really more like a brunch. People who are going to do manual labor can usually eat a big breakfast, not probably not as big as this on a daily basis.
Americans believe breakfast is the most important part of the day eat like a king for breakfast - a Queen for lunch and a pauper for dinner 💥💥💥
It's called a Mimosa. It's a morning alcoholic drink served during breakfast time or Sunday brunch. It's orange juice mix with some kind of sparkling wine. Sometimes champagne if you want to get really fancy.
Grits are one of those foods that you either love or hate. Cheesy grits are amazing with a bit of salt and pepper. They are also very versatile. They can be made in a variety of ways and combined with tons of other dishes.
The drink is called a Mimosa, it is half orange juice and half champagne and are commonly served in the US with the meal known as Brunch which is a late breakfast or an early lunch. And they are good!
Grits gather the flavors of their surroundings. Butter, salt, and pepper a makes basic side dish. Shrimp and grits is fresh shrimp sauteed in butter (may add onions, peppers, garlic, and sausage) topped with the shrimp...grits are the main dish for brunch or dinner. My in-laws make grits with sugar and butter.
As others have said, this is not a typical everyday American breakfast. Be more for going out for brunch after church on Sunday. For everyday, I usually cook a slice of bacon or a pork sausage patty and two scrambled eggs with spinach, green onion and cheese for breakfast. Have it with a medium salsa on the side. Haha. American's love of Mexican/Southwest flavors (the salsa) has invaded breakfast and been common accompaniment now for decades.
We sometimes will do an alcoholic drink for breakfast. Mimosa or a Bloody Mary. Mimosa is champagne and orange juice. Bloody Mary is tomato juice and vodka with lime/lemon, celery, Worcestershire sauce/hot sauce, etc. Grits on the pulled pork is probably good because of the cheese and spice in the grits. Yes, grits are basically cornmeal mush, but plain is good, enhanced is better.
I live in the south. My usual weekend breakfast is Eggs, Bacon, Hashbrowns, Toast (reg or French depending on mood), and Fried Apples. Weekdays are sausage biscuits and muffins bc they’re portable.
I actually live less than an hour away from Loveless Cafe.
Grits are ground corn meal simmered and served many ways. It's somewhat similar to polenta but isn't quite as cooked down as polenta. Like pasta, rice or potatoes, grits are a good neutral base to pair with any addition you can think of.
Some restaurants serve endless (free refills) mimosas at brunch. If you’re not careful, Saturday or Sunday morning brunch can get as sloppy as Friday night 😂
Mimosas are typically for hangovers, in my experience. Mimosas with a hearty American breakfast and a long nap? Best cure ever
I am from the south, and I love grits with butter, salt, pepper, with 3 over easy eggs!! A breakfast of the Gods!
Eggs with cheese and bacon...has Sunday morning written all over it. The sandwich biscuit plate is just something they add like an appetizer
I love the American food videos!
Southern food seems very rich and comforting. There is no skimping on fats and carbs. I would think that amount of food for breakfast is a once in awhile thing.
We are in the northeast state of Vermont.
Oatmeal with fruit, fresh baked bread toasted with orange juice, eggs, pancakes with Vermont Maple Syrup only!
Pastries and coffee…..Fresh Fruit.
Texas here, it is very heavy. You can't eat it often. People that I know have breakfast similar to yours on most days. Only splurge on special occasions! ❤
This place is very famous even presidents have eaten here. I've been here many times. I love this couple I follow them myself
After watching the video, I bookmarked this cafe on Google Maps. It's only 13 hours away by car! I'd have to drive down on a Friday, hang out in Nashville on Saturday, and hit this cafe for Sunday breakfast before heading home. And yes, I've had Mimosas before. Most memorably in Coronado near San Diego. If you haven't seen Coronado, it regularly rates among the best beaches on the planet.
Yes, Loveless Cafe is really famous. Celebrities and politicians have stopped by there for YEARS!! 💁🏻♀️
Grits are basically like Polenta but can be eaten as a breakfast with options of Milk, Cream, Butter, Honey, Syrup, and or Cheese.
I also love this couple. They're real.They're entertaining and they have good taste in food. Being a Southerner, I can say for sure.That's a Southern breakfast.You will not find that in arizona or california. When I first moved to Arizona, I went to a restaurant and they didn't.know what grits were?They had hash browns and I didn't know what hash browns were.lol
Biscuits in the South are heavenly! They use a special flour I couldn’t find in Northern grocery stores. I love to cook.
Grits are Phenomenal! So are fried green tomatoes!
It so great to have a restaurant to stick around for so long. that usually means quality.
Everything in America is legal at breakfast, lunch and dinner. You eat what you want!
Most people that don't like grits have eaten undercooked grits. Grits are supposed to be creamy not watery or you can still taste the actual grit. For Europeans it should the consistency of Polenta. No SUGAR, butter seasoning ( most people think only salt & pepper) and cheese
Where I come from people mix fruit juice 50/50 with Sprite.
"Hashbrown casserole" is a fairly vague description; compare "noodle casserole" or "rice casserole". We don't really know exactly what it is without more detail. From context, I assume it's a _breakfast_ casserole, so it probably has things like sausage and egg in it, but that still leaves a fair amount of room for variation. (In general, casseroles are for the Midwest and South what curries are for India. There are a LOT of different ones.)
Grits are a hot cereal made from ground corn, yes. In certain areas (mainly in the Deep South), grits are the most popular hot cereal; but nationwide they're probably the third most popular, behind oatmeal and Cream of Wheat, but probably ahead of Malt-O-Meal, I'd guess. Some people also use leftover rice as a hot cereal, warming it up with milk and flavorings (e.g., brown sugar).
Time to take a nap after a southern breakfast we don't have siestas we take naps
The Loveless Café used to be in the middle of an old motel. The motel wrapped around the outside, and then the Cafe was in the middle. I hear that at some point it was renting “by the hour“ back in the day….now all that remains is the café. But they do make some really authentic and delicious southern food, most everything is served family style, like whole fried chicken on a platter. The lines can be long, as it is a very popular place.
Hasbrown casserole is shredded potatoes, cheese, and sometimes mushroom soup. Baked in a casserole dish.
Mimosas are great. It's an acceptable morning alcohol breakfast drink
As others have said, it's not too uncommon to have alcoholic drinks at meals like this, but the thing to know is that it's not an everyday thing, more of a weekend thing when you venture out for breakfast/brunch with friends. You go in, have a TON of incredible breakfast food, have a few drinks, and then relax for the day.
For most, this is a standard southern brunch, takes the place of breakfast + lunch. Eggs benedict is common too, along with omelettes and pancakes/waffles/french toast.
The main flavors in Southern cooking are Butter, Salt & Pepper, which are all great things, but historically very difficult to obtain. Butter must be churned, so one must have purchased an expensive milk-cow. Salt needed to be mined from deep tunnels out of prehistoric sea beds, again expensive. And Pepper was imported from Indonesia, which took 6 months to get to Europe and cost more money than people usually had. A poor European surf living 900 years ago, would be flavoring their food with grass, berries, & fermentation. So we have it good.
If you don't know; hashbrown casserole is potatoes shredded, onion, cheese and cream cooked down.
I love my grits with sugar and butter, just like my oats! You can't compare a southern biscuit to anything else in this world. Butter, jams, apple butter, especially sausage gravy. That's a typical southern breakfast, as long as you don't need to do anything later except sit on the porch and watch the grass grow.
mimosa is a common brunch drink. OJ and sparkling wine. a poinsettia replaces the OJ with Cranberry juice. mimosa is also a flower.
Haha. I just watched this a couple days ago. I haven't even watched these 2 in over 6 months. Yes, this is a great couple. He is a Frenchman but from Italy and she is American. Last I knew they were from Tennessee or something like that and considering a move to NYC. Also they travel a lot to Italy and France. Other than US places.
Edit: Correction this is when they went to Loveless cafe. You should check out their new one. The did and old fashioned food video recently. That is really good. Look for that.
You should check out 'Pasta Grammar' which is another Italian except she hates everything!! She is Italian and he is American. Her husband makes her eat nasty American food and forces her to eat it. It is a funny channel and light hearted channel.
Jessi and Alessio joke about him being French but the truth is he is only 25% French, 75% Italian. The French part was a surprise to him. I watched the video where they revealed the test results.
