I was born in the South, but I swear I've never seen meringue on a sweet potato pie. Whipped cream or ice cream on the side, but top is usually plain, isn't it?
@ , same for me. Normally it’s plain. I like it equally to pumpkin pie. I’d never heard of his dirt pie either. I live in Georgia, so maybe it’s a Mississippi thing.
Not only did the UK get an American pie expert, but got a Southern gent as well... he made all of my family's favorites! (We also grew up with Pecan trees in our backyards) The UK is Blessed!!!!
I love pecans! We used to spend time in Gulf Shores, Alabama every winter. We would buy a lot of pecans and remove their shells while watching tv at night. They were delicious! I was told that people planted pecan trees, not for themselves, for their great grandchildren. I didn’t realize how long it took for them to grow and produce nuts.
i love how many varieties this one guy has to offer, and you can see his sheer confidence in the pies he serves, especially when he can firmly say "i hate this pie" but serve it up with everything else
As a Texan, I would like to say that you guys have a real gem of a pie maker in David. For great pie making, you can't get any better than a true southerner. Hats off to David.
As a black american ive never had even a piece of pumpkin pie, its always sweet potato pie and im glad to see the Brits agree, but i think at 37 its time for me to try pumpkin pie😂❤
At first I was worried when the video mentioned trying American pies in London. I thought, "These pies aren't going to be our real pies." But then the owner comes out with an American accent? He's from Mississippi? You're good!
I hope this video brings a stampede of new customers to this mans pie shop! Those look mouthwateringly delicious and I swear I could smell them from here, I know I want to have a taste of every single one of these pies, wow! GO PIEMAN!
It could - back when Buzzfeed was a thing and they had Worth It, they covered a pasta shop in LA. That was enough to more than double their business at the one location and give them the capital to open another store.
Cherry , banana cream, blackberry, raspberry , chocolate cream , coconut cream , strawberry, lemon, strawberry rhubarb, elderberry, the list can go on and on the different kinds of pies we have in the States .
@@saureco Please don't ruin the rhubarb with strawberries! It's supposed to be tart. It was always my favorite pie growing up. Plus apricot, huckleberry, gooseberry, Boston cream... Basically any kind of fruit, many types of vegetables, and many other things will find their way into pies.
Oh yeah, for sure. Pumpkin pies at both is the way to do it. We've only recently started varying Xmas meals from Turkey and the traditional sides. But Thanksgiving meals are so great there's nothing wrong with doing it twice.
I too am from the south (Tennessee). We had a large pecan tree in our backyard when I was growing up. Every other year, (when the tree produced pecans), my mom was a pie making machine. Besides us kids munching on pecans after school, the whole family gained several pounds each at harvest time. We would take bags of pecans and deliver them to our neighbors, and they reciprocated with apricots, figs, peaches, or lemons from their trees. Good times.
I live in Colorado. We had friends who lived in New Mexico. Tons of orchards down there. They would bring us pounds of them. We made everything with pecans. After several years of this I got pecaned out. lol I still love pecan pie though.
I’m from Carencro Louisiana. Our local cemetery has plenty of pecan trees. My cousin and I went through the cemetery to pick pecans filling buckets. Priest caught us and told us since this was church property then the pecans belonged to the church but he would let us have half the pecans. We gave one bucket of pecans to the church. Following Sunday there was a bake sale that included our pecans on cakes, cupcakes, pies, and even candied pecans.
I Adore the reactions of Josh and Ollie!!! What I personally do Not understand is Why Josh Always takes such Huge bights of everything he tries??? Maybe Josh is anticipation, and pure Trust?!?! I Hope 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻he Never regrets such large first tastes!!! And Ollie has such Great comments!!! They Truly fit their name Jolly!!! Thank you, fellas!!! You are Both Super Fun to watch!!! ❤🇺🇲❤️🇬🇧🥳🥳
The raisin pie... Each year my Grandmother would bake each grandchild their favorite pie for their birthday. Some how she got the idea that I liked raisin pie, for 45 years I forced down Raisin pie and smiled until she passed. Gosh I would love a raisin pie ❤
That is freakin' adorable! My mom used to make this coconut cream dessert a lot when I was younger all the time because she thought I liked it. I hate coconut...lmao
you can tell this guys the real deal with the funeral pie comment-- "I hate this pie, i don't know why [the raisins] are in there" yet he still bakes it the traditional way lol. that's commitment.
Shoofly pie is a staple in the area of Pennsylvania and Ohio because it’s a very common Amish dessert. It’s called shoofly because Amish Farms typically don’t have air-conditioning so they keep the windows open most of the day. The Amish housewives would put the pies on the windowsill to cool. Because of the high sugar content these pies attract a lot of flies. They would assign one of the little kids to shoo the flies away from the pie while it was cooling.
Most Amish make the pie with molasses and a crumb topping. I tried many different ones and they were all a little different, from very gooey to on the drier side. You can find them all along the roadside at private residential produce stands throughout Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
I always love how respectful they are! I see so many reactions to American food being like HOW Do THey EAt thiS ALl the TIme?!? And it’s like nah dude these are for special occasions!!
If Chef is as nice and kind as his voice, ACES to this southern gentleman. We’ve enjoyed southern cooking and baking for many years travelling south for the winter. 🤗🇨🇦
So cool to see a Mississippi dude in the UK, sharing our American style pies! He obviously knows his pies very well, and they all look REALLY good! I grew up eating Frito pies, which they actually sold at all my Little League baseball games. I'd love to visit his shop!
I love that they got to try Frito Pies. Pure nostalgia. And you can visibly see their faces trying to stay awake by the time the pumpkin pie is out lol.
Frito pie is so simple, and yet so good. There is literally no need to complicate it either. Just fritos, chilly, cheese, and maybe some lettuce and tomatoes if you're into that. A summer staple where I grew up
Wow!! I play music in a group that plays in the lyric theatre just above this shop. I always make sure to get one of his brownies and they are amazing. No clue he did pies. I will have to try this out next week. David is also as nice in person as he seems on camera❤❤
Frito pie was something my mom made regularly. My mom, ever thrifty, washed and reused the disposable mini chicken pot pie tins. Getting a mini frito pie all to myself was heaven.
@@IceMetalPunk People make nachos with Fritos throughout the South and the Southwest. It's not nearly as common as using tortilla chips, but it's also not rare either.
Blueberry pie is my favorite but more of a Maine blueberry pie. But my question is, where's the al a mode? Warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream is the best!
4:31 Frito pie is called a Texas Taco up north (Ohio) and is a festival food, easy to carry and eat at the same time. 13:38 There's a song that goes, "Shoo fly, don't bother me..." The idea is that it tastes so good that you'll be shooing away the flies. 22:19 Sweet potatoes are versatile. You can eat them alone, as pie, casserole, or even soup (though you need to remember to add the parsley).
For everyone commenting about Frito pies called something else in other parts of the country: Fritos were invented in Texas and so was Frito pie. It was originally just a bag of Fritos, Wolf brand chili and some grated cheese. People started adding things like peppers, onions, etc., but it originally was a basic snack at football games, rodeos and such.
Wolf Chili to me is the best one out of all of the canned chili varieties we have. No, not nearly as good as homemade, but it beats the socks off of Hormel every day of the week.
My family, who is from Texas, called this a "pepper belly". Chili tipped with fritos, cheese and onions. I've always been confused by the name, though. 😂
Apple Pie is a revelation warmed with vanilla ice cream! The melting ice cream & warm pie, and then cold frozen ice cream that hasn’t had a chance to melt yet. So good!!
Listen I agree with you but considering apple pie is quite sweet adding on the vanilla Icecream .. I’ve always wondered what dark chocolate 🍫 ice cream and apple pie would be like … I think I would be over the moon I love sweets but not too sweet! 😅
Same situation with other berry pies and cobblers. When warmed and mixed with something as polarizing as vanilla ice cream, it creates a whole nother element that oddly balances and rounds out the flavor.
So many other classics to try: lemon meringue, chess pie, custard pie, chocolate cream, banana cream, coconut creme, grasshopper pie, peanut butter pie, rhubarb creme, apple crumb, peach crumb, chocolate walnut, possum pie, fresh strawberry pie, ohhhhhhhhh! I can't stop!!!! We love our pie in America!
Funeral pie, also called raisin pie, was served at Amish and Old Order Mennonite gatherings for friends and family after a funeral. The sweet star of the funeral banquet was raisin pie, a dish so tied to the event that it became a euphemism for death itself. When an ailing member of the community took a turn for the worse, it was not uncommon to hear someone solemnly declare, “There will be raisin pie soon.”
Growing up, raisin pie was my dad's specialty. His German ancestors emigrated to Pennsylvania so I assume that is why his family always made this pie. I love it, however my children do not.
I'm from Florida and came here to say what several people already did. The key lime pie he made is different from a typical pie found here. It should be tart, not so sweet and the pie should have a custard like consistency, not cake-like. Even his topping was different. But his version could still be delicious of course.
It's called funeral pie because you can make it with things you have on hand, even in winter, so you can take something sweet to the grieving when you hear their bad news. Also, they travel well.
@@SaraMastrosI'm not a raisin fan in general...a little go a long way. But my mom made funeral pie & my husband was in love with it (she made THE BEST crust... never soggy). I actually miss it...I think the lemon juice & zest cut the sweetness. The other amazing pie she made was egg custard
"We do blackberry crumble, I guess this is the American equivalent" Boys, wait until you find out about U.S. fruit crisps and their many various regional versions. We have crumbles, crisps, cobblers, grunts, buckles, and probably a bunch of others I'm less aware of! They're all fundamentally like a crumble, typically with different types of topping ranging from the same exact as a UK crumble to (US) biscuit dough on top.
Yes, I would add that the pies are a great way to preserve the fruit for the colder months and eat it when other supplies are running out. The high sugar content is a natural preservative.
BAH!!! i don't do raisins either. I love that this is in London and the owner is American. No "faking" or "trying to copy" techniques/recipes. REAL DEAL YUMMINESS!!!!
Agreed! I'm an American who lived in the UK as a digital nomad. It was hilarious how many British restaurants would serve 'American-style' food that wasn't at all what most Americans eat. One such example would be 'American-style' pancakes or waffles served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup, which isn't at all anything I've seen in my 50 years in the USA.
Love watching these chaps and their reactions to whatever they are trying. Lots of smiles and laughter which we can all use sometimes. Thanks so much for the videos. Pecan pie is my favorite I too have pecan trees!!
One Thanksgiving, providing pies for members of an AME church, I learned that they prefer sweet potato pies over pumpkin pies. I watched YT videos to learn how different home cooks make sweet potato pie. I believe the key to the best start is to roast them in their jackets over cutting and boiling the potatoes. Boiling leaches out a lot of the flavor. Roasting brings out the natural sugar in the sweet potatoes and the jackets slide right off.
Sweet potatoes get better the longer and slower and lower you roast them. You want to break the starches down and start to caramelize the sugars. Ideally, if you can, don’t use grocery store varieties (try your farmer’s market). Like with tomatoes etc, the varieties sold in the chain grocery are bred for long storage life, not flavor. My family has farmed sweet potatoes for at least 4 generations now - I recommend the Beauregard variety if you can find it, or bayou belle or Evangeline.
My father was a fantastic cook. He would combine the ingredients for sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie and then top the pies with candied pecans. Those pies were phenomenal. Really miss Daddy and his cooking. A lot of Southern men are damn good cooks.
It's so lovely and wholesome reading all the Americans in the comments, going through nostalgia, because they weren't expecting Frito pie - as a brit, I also had no idea pecans grew on trees 😂😅 MUST come to this place, the pies look diviiinnneee
Pie styles and classics vary regionally. My mother and grandmother would always have us kids go out to the garden in our back yards and cut the stalks of rhubarb for strawberry rhubarb pie. The leaves of the rhubarb plant are toxic, so you can only eat the stalks. My mom would chop them and soak in sugar water and the reduce the strawberries with them on the stove. The shell was always pre-baked in my mother’s hand-made butter crust. I can still remember running down to the basement to get the big tub of ice cream out to bring upstairs so we could serve it with the pie. We lived in old Victorian houses with basement floors that were sometimes dirt for canning and storing. As soon as I would get down the stairs, my brother would quickly turn the light off at the top of the stairs and shut the door so it was pitch dark. That was terrifying. 😅 In the US, pies are served all year, but are the most popular during summer and fall when the fruit is the ripest.
As someone who grew up in Southeastern PA, seeing Shoofly pie brought a smile to my face. My family would go to Lancaster county at least once every year and we'd always bring back a Shoofly pie. Such a simple recipe but it's still one of my favorites. I am shocked that the restaurant can't source molasses in the UK but I'm glad to see that they made a version with what they had. For those who are wondering, the name comes from a brand of molasses that was from the Philadelphia area.
@@MrC0MPUT3R Try making it yourself. I've found a good recipe online though I still live close enough that I just pick some up from those who make it all the time lol.
@@RosemaryHanson4056 Well first thing's first, it's Shoofly pie, not shoefly. And second, I'm not surprised by that. It's a very regional thing. I was honestly a little surprised that the baker chose to feature it. I do heavily recommend it and you can find some good recipes for it online.
Frito pie was actually created for the 1982 world’s fair in Knoxville, TN. It’s called Petro’s and we still have a lot of stores here. It was originally served in the bag so it was portable, but they no longer serve it in the bag.
As a Pennsylvanian in Amish territory, I very much appreciate the appearance of the Shoo Fly Pie. I was a bit shocked to hear "I've never heard of a blueberry pie" when that's my absolute favorite, even over apple pie. Glad to hear that Josh called his new favorite!
@evantesseract737 it's not syrup, it's juice. Like when you cut into a perfectly cooked steak and the natural flavor and some seasoning oozes out, is it steak syrup?
"If you are still alive at the time of my funeral can you make sure this is served? Because I want everyone to be really really sad" LMAO I LOVE OLLIE🤣☠
Southerner here. Other Southern pie favorites: lemon meringue, chocolate meringue, coconut cream, and banana cream. I live in Houston. We have citrus trees in our backyard. We make an orange pie (since lemon and lime pies are popular, why not orange?) with fresh squeezed orange juice instead of lemon juice. And my mom's pie is everyone's favorite: a bourbon, dark chocolate pecan pie with an extra layer of dark chocolate on the bottom. On March 14th, we have pie day at our house with a beef and Guinness pie (thank you for exposing us to that, Ireland) and a few sweet pies. Frito pie is a staple in most lunchrooms in American elementary schools. We love pie!!!
@@mountainaire7382 lemon meringue pie fav British pie to make as a child. Can't do Bananas but coconut cream sounds lovely . Orange and ginger pie is good beef and ale pies is great
Any fruit can end up in a pie. Rhubarb-strawberry is popular. Peach, prune (no joke), any berries, banana cream, coconut cream, key lime (not fried at the fair), etc. Yes--- p'KHAN pies are amazing.
Cherry pie, lemon meringue, strawberry pie, huckleberry pie, blackberry pie. Marionberry pie is a favorite here because the Marionberries (a blackberry) are grown here in abundance. They are an especially delicious variety of blackberry. Mince pie or mincemeat pie. The dreaded gooseberry pie. He didn't offer you peach pie?
Non-American talking here, you can answer this and anyone else cuz more insight the better, you mention that any fruit can end up in a pie, is there the existence of "orange pie" or is it just a flavor enhancer like a squeezed orange juice, orange zest, etc.? Like in all of my life consuming American food media, I have never seen it before
@@theodelacruz2799 I'm a Floridian and I've never heard of an orange pie of any kind, but now that you mention it, it sounds wonderful, I love anything orange or lemon!!!
I think Jolly need to go to the Florida Keys or south Florida sometime for real key lime pie. It’s supposed to be tart! While there, they can also experience a Cuban sandwich at conch fritters. Yum!
It seems like I remember them previously trying a key lime pie while in the USA but thinking it overly tart. I like my key lime pie to be slightly tart. Sometimes it’s an individual taste thing. Just like with collard greens. Sometimes they liked them and other times they didn’t when they cook had a lot of either lemon juice or vinegar in it. I prefer greens with just a smidgen of vinegar.
Great to have an actual southern American making the pies to get the authentic experience. Unlike whatever list you guys looked up for that Halloween candy episode
Ok some of it was authentic, like Reece’s and Kit Kats. But would’ve appreciated seeing them try almond joy, skittles, weird M&M flavors, nerds, etc. oh and laffy taffy-especially banana flavor hahaha
My family never had sweet potato pie when I was growing up. Not even the extended family. But when I was in college I started baking them. I baked so many of them that I still do not need to refer to a recipe, even if I haven't made one in a couple of years. It's muscle memory. I even make the sweet potato custard by itself, no crust, served scooped out and jumbled with hand-whipped cream. One thing though, that may be viewed as sacrilege, is that I do not use corn syrup in the recipe. It's just the sweets, a generous contribution of spices (emphasis on the cinnamon), dark brown sugar, an egg, and a can of Pet-brand evaporated milk (although whole milk or half-and-half work fine too). 🥰
Oh yeah - you guys hit the classics. Those are the backbone of the pie world. And the Nostalgia factor is real. But there are sooo many others. Just wait till you try chocolate satin, banana cream, blackberry rasp, Strawberry rhubarb and custard. And the variations on each type are endless. Welcome home Jolly because thats what pies are synonymous for ♡
Growing up in S. Texas at our High School football games, when it's cool in the fall we could go to the snack stand and get Frito Pie which was a bag of Fritos, slit open on the side of the bag, with chili and cheese on on the chips inside. It warmed the hands, but was also convenient and awesome. Glad you boys liked it!
Pumpkin pie... needs whipped cream Frito pie (made that way)...is called a Walking Pie. It's served at carnivals and festivals so you can walk around and eat at the same time.
This native Texan thanks you both for trying and loving so many foods I take for granted. It’s great to see reactions from people who have never had it before.
Frito Pie in the bag is the best way. Baked is also great, but this is the original walking taco. 4:19 Good, on you, Ollie! You saw it, immediately!❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
We should all have someone from Mississippi as our pie friend. As a Brit who emigrated to the US, I love American pies. I’ve never had Shoefly Pie, but I’m so there for it. I live in San Francisco and we say pecarn pie. It’s a regional pronunciation, as others in the US call it pee-can. There is no wrong way to say pecan. Pumpkin pie is Thanksgiving. I’m all in for this as I love the time of the year as I’m a December baby. Sweet potato pie is so scrumptious. Thank you America for everything you’ve given us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I disagree. You say pe-cahn, like he said it, because they grow here (in orchards!) and that's the way we say it. People also have them in their yards. In the south, its pe-cahn, and you make prah-leens with them (spelled praline).
@@jswjr6001 Lived in Gawga since 1960....never heard anything but Pe-cahn. I queried a 6th generation Georgian from middle GA peach/pecan country once if they pronounced it pee-can and she was insulted that I even asked.
Literally got so excited when he said he was from Mississippi! Grew up there as well, I also work in the industry and it is incredible to see others working round the world and sharing our comfort foods! Cheers to you, David and thanks to Jolly for sharing their experience! 💙
They call it a Frito pie because when this recipe first came out you put the Fritos in a casserole dish then topped it with chili and sliced American cheese or Velveeta topped with chopped onions and then stuck in the oven to bake. (AKA the frito pie) It changes the consistency of the Fritos tremendously! I grew up eating Frito pie cooked that way and on the side we would have ranch style beans and fried potatoes . Takes me straight back to my childhood. 🤤 YUM
@@dean0247 i would say "good for them" but honestly they are just a step behind the rest of us. i just made a chili yesterday, with beans, that my(texan) wife said was the best she'd ever had. better than any out of all the chili competitions she's been to. trust me, she isnt just buttering my biscuits; it actually is. every winter she makes us eat it for at least a month straight.
Peanut butter cream pie is a game changer! I made it once for an American lady married to her Australian husband living in Australia, from an Amish recipe ... We were in heaven!!
I rarely watch videos any more but I ❤ Jolly’s and will stop what I’m doing so I can enjoy their take on American culture. I would love for them to come to Minnesota so I could watch them experience ‘hot dish’, ‘jello salad’, and ‘bars’.
'Loved your PIE session with David! FYI: according to my elderly uncle, who lived in SE Pa. (Pennsylvania Dutch and Brethren area), "funeral pie" received its name because it contained no dairy, but did contain raisins -- making it spoil-proof and ingredient-accessible year-round for large all-day outdoor or barn gatherings. David's version did contain dairy -- but, over time, people do modify recipes.
this dude is just a novice. you could tell by his pies. if he isnt going to serve them a cherry pie, or a strawberry and rhubarb pie, then he isnt taking his profession seriously.
@@sharnadixon-scott710 do you have strawberry rhubarb pie? it has to be my favorite. i'm sure it would go over well there, since it isnt normally made as sweet as typical american fruit pies

I too am from the south (Tennessee). We had a large pecan tree in our backyard when I was growing up. Every other year, (when the tree produced pecans), my mom was a pie making machine. Besides us kids munching on pecans after school, the whole family gained several pounds each at harvest time. We would take bags of pecans and deliver them to our neighbors, and they reciprocated with apricots, figs, peaches, or lemons from their trees. Good times.
I live in Colorado. We had friends who lived in New Mexico. Tons of orchards down there. They would bring us pounds of them. We made everything with pecans. After several years of this I got pecaned out. lol I still love pecan pie though.
A blessing. I went to a university that has a pecan grove. People would come visit the campus just to pick the pecans.
My family has pecan trees too. I love pecans.
I’m from Carencro Louisiana. Our local cemetery has plenty of pecan trees. My cousin and I went through the cemetery to pick pecans filling buckets.

A southern us gal here. I find great comfort knowing there is a Missippippi pie maker in London. 😊
The raisin pie... Each year my Grandmother would bake each grandchild their favorite pie for their birthday. Some how she got the idea that I liked raisin pie, for 45 years I forced down Raisin pie and smiled until she passed. Gosh I would love a raisin pie ❤
my gramma was lemon meringue, only had a couple since that were as good.
That's very sweet of you, eating the pie all those years.
What a sweet story. You must have loved each other very much.
Bless your heart ❤
That is freakin' adorable! My mom used to make this coconut cream dessert a lot when I was younger all the time because she thought I liked it. I hate coconut...lmao
you can tell this guys the real deal with the funeral pie comment-- "I hate this pie, i don't know why [the raisins] are in there" yet he still bakes it the traditional way lol. that's commitment.
Shoofly pie is a staple in the area of Pennsylvania and Ohio because it’s a very common Amish dessert. It’s called shoofly because Amish Farms typically don’t have air-conditioning so they keep the windows open most of the day. The Amish housewives would put the pies on the windowsill to cool. Because of the high sugar content these pies attract a lot of flies. They would assign one of the little kids to shoo the flies away from the pie while it was cooling.
Correct! Shoo not Shoe! lol
Most Amish make the pie with molasses and a crumb topping. I tried many different ones and they were all a little different, from very gooey to on the drier side. You can find them all along the roadside at private residential produce stands throughout Lancaster County Pennsylvania.
Shoo fly, don't bother me.
@@gregggoss2210Yep, I’ve always had it with a crust on the bottom and crumb topping, and we had family in west TN and used their molasses! 😋

Frito pie is so simple, and yet so good. There is literally no need to complicate it either. Just fritos, chilly, cheese, and maybe some lettuce and tomatoes if you're into that. A summer staple where I grew up

And barely scratched the surface. 🤣
Frito pie was something my mom made regularly. My mom, ever thrifty, washed and reused the disposable mini chicken pot pie tins. Getting a mini frito pie all to myself was heaven.
I grew up in Tennessee but never heard of frito pie beforehand.... I think we just called them nachos
@@Sdority905 If you're using Fritos as nachos, I weep for your nacho experience 😂

Blueberry pie is my favorite but more of a Maine blueberry pie. But my question is, where's the al a mode? Warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream is the best!
Thank you!
I live in Maine surrounded by blueberry fields. I would never cook any other kind.
Oooooo! YES. Also, had never tried the small wedge of lightly melted cheddar on top of warm apple pie before. At 64, I braved it. I do not regret! 👍🏻
Or Lemon Meringue?
4:31 Frito pie is called a Texas Taco up north (Ohio) and is a festival food, easy to carry and eat at the same time.
13:38 There's a song that goes, "Shoo fly, don't bother me..." The idea is that it tastes so good that you'll be shooing away the flies.
22:19 Sweet potatoes are versatile. You can eat them alone, as pie, casserole, or even soup (though you need to remember to add the parsley).
I live in Columbus Ohio and we always call frito pie taco in a bag lol
@@elizabethbednar6338in Louisiana we called them Frito pies, in Michigan they are called “Walking Tacos”.
For everyone commenting about Frito pies called something else in other parts of the country: Fritos were invented in Texas and so was Frito pie. It was originally just a bag of Fritos, Wolf brand chili and some grated cheese. People started adding things like peppers, onions, etc., but it originally was a basic snack at football games, rodeos and such.
That's interesting. I didn't know the history and didn't grow up there.
Wolf Chili to me is the best one out of all of the canned chili varieties we have. No, not nearly as good as homemade, but it beats the socks off of Hormel every day of the week.
And it's definitely a pie because the Fritos are the crust and the pie filling is the chili.
I thought it was a walking taco
My family, who is from Texas, called this a "pepper belly". Chili tipped with fritos, cheese and onions. I've always been confused by the name, though. 😂
The way Josh savors his food looks like he should be 1000 lbs. Props to him for loving food and taking care of himself at the same time.

Apple Pie is a revelation warmed with vanilla ice cream! The melting ice cream & warm pie, and then cold frozen ice cream that hasn’t had a chance to melt yet. So good!!
Listen I agree with you but considering apple pie is quite sweet adding on the vanilla Icecream .. I’ve always wondered what dark chocolate 🍫 ice cream and apple pie would be like … I think I would be over the moon I love sweets but not too sweet! 😅

@@NikoRoulias if only desserts were that easy to make 😅 I am way better in savoury dishes even though I prefer desserts 😞
Same situation with other berry pies and cobblers. When warmed and mixed with something as polarizing as vanilla ice cream, it creates a whole nother element that oddly balances and rounds out the flavor.
Apple pie a la modé is one of the best pies! ❤

Funeral pie, also called raisin pie, was served at Amish and Old Order Mennonite gatherings for friends and family after a funeral. The sweet star of the funeral banquet was raisin pie, a dish so tied to the event that it became a euphemism for death itself. When an ailing member of the community took a turn for the worse, it was not uncommon to hear someone solemnly declare, “There will be raisin pie soon.”
Growing up, raisin pie was my dad's specialty. His German ancestors emigrated to Pennsylvania so I assume that is why his family always made this pie. I love it, however my children do not.
lol, no it's called "funeral pie" cause of it's high sugar content, so you ate it last after all the other deserts.
I'm from Florida and came here to say what several people already did. The key lime pie he made is different from a typical pie found here. It should be tart, not so sweet and the pie should have a custard like consistency, not cake-like. Even his topping was different.
But his version could still be delicious of course.
It's called funeral pie because you can make it with things you have on hand, even in winter, so you can take something sweet to the grieving when you hear their bad news. Also, they travel well.
Thank you! I’ve never even heard of it. It’s the only one I haven’t had from the ones they tried here.

"We do blackberry crumble, I guess this is the American equivalent" Boys, wait until you find out about U.S. fruit crisps and their many various regional versions. We have crumbles, crisps, cobblers, grunts, buckles, and probably a bunch of others I'm less aware of! They're all fundamentally like a crumble, typically with different types of topping ranging from the same exact as a UK crumble to (US) biscuit dough on top.
and fried pies!
We do crumbles and cobblers and crisps in the UK but I've never heard of a grunt @@gayleswellness2225
Don't forget the Pan Dowdy. There really are a thousand names.
they really need to try some good american pot pies. i wonder if(like me) they would prefer them to their version.
Yes, I would add that the pies are a great way to preserve the fruit for the colder months and eat it when other supplies are running out. The high sugar content is a natural preservative.
BAH!!! i don't do raisins either. I love that this is in London and the owner is American. No "faking" or "trying to copy" techniques/recipes. REAL DEAL YUMMINESS!!!!
The closest thing I can think of is maybe bread pudding...
Like Ollie said, "even one raisin would ruin that pie"! I even shudder at the thought of eating a raisin!
Agreed! I'm an American who lived in the UK as a digital nomad. It was hilarious how many British restaurants would serve 'American-style' food that wasn't at all what most Americans eat. One such example would be 'American-style' pancakes or waffles served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and maple syrup, which isn't at all anything I've seen in my 50 years in the USA.

"Hot Damn it's the Soggy Bottom Boys!"
Meanwhile, referring to David as "The Pie Maker" was giving me Pushing Daisies nostalgia.
One Thanksgiving, providing pies for members of an AME church, I learned that they prefer sweet potato pies over pumpkin pies. I watched YT videos to learn how different home cooks make sweet potato pie. I believe the key to the best start is to roast them in their jackets over cutting and boiling the potatoes. Boiling leaches out a lot of the flavor. Roasting brings out the natural sugar in the sweet potatoes and the jackets slide right off.
Sweet potatoes get better the longer and slower and lower you roast them. You want to break the starches down and start to caramelize the sugars. Ideally, if you can, don’t use grocery store varieties (try your farmer’s market). Like with tomatoes etc, the varieties sold in the chain grocery are bred for long storage life, not flavor. My family has farmed sweet potatoes for at least 4 generations now - I recommend the Beauregard variety if you can find it, or bayou belle or Evangeline.
My father was a fantastic cook. He would combine the ingredients for sweet potato pie and pumpkin pie and then top the pies with candied pecans. Those pies were phenomenal. Really miss Daddy and his cooking. A lot of Southern men are damn good cooks.
The one from Battles Southern Barbecue had a tast of orange in it.
I have no idea why these videos make me smile so much.. but they always do. Watching these two react is absolutely hilarious.
Mississippi grandmother here. So proud of pies representing our state! ❤
It's so lovely and wholesome reading all the Americans in the comments, going through nostalgia, because they weren't expecting Frito pie - as a brit, I also had no idea pecans grew on trees 😂😅 MUST come to this place, the pies look diviiinnneee
They don't normally sell pies it's a cafe bakery with cakes and brownies
Pie styles and classics vary regionally. My mother and grandmother would always have us kids go out to the garden in our back yards and cut the stalks of rhubarb for strawberry rhubarb pie. The leaves of the rhubarb plant are toxic, so you can only eat the stalks. My mom would chop them and soak in sugar water and the reduce the strawberries with them on the stove. The shell was always pre-baked in my mother’s hand-made butter crust. I can still remember running down to the basement to get the big tub of ice cream out to bring upstairs so we could serve it with the pie. We lived in old Victorian houses with basement floors that were sometimes dirt for canning and storing. As soon as I would get down the stairs, my brother would quickly turn the light off at the top of the stairs and shut the door so it was pitch dark. That was terrifying. 😅 In the US, pies are served all year, but are the most popular during summer and fall when the fruit is the ripest.
We call it a ‘Walking Taco’ instead of a Frito Pie. Doritos also work well!
@@sharnadixon-scott710 After this video goes viral, he should start doing more pies for sale! There will be crazy queues.

As someone who grew up in Southeastern PA, seeing Shoofly pie brought a smile to my face. My family would go to Lancaster county at least once every year and we'd always bring back a Shoofly pie. Such a simple recipe but it's still one of my favorites. I am shocked that the restaurant can't source molasses in the UK but I'm glad to see that they made a version with what they had.
For those who are wondering, the name comes from a brand of molasses that was from the Philadelphia area.
I miss shoofly pie. Haven't had it since I was in elementary school.
I know, right? And after they went through all that trouble getting access to the sugar cane it comes from over in the new world.
I've never heard of shoefly pie. I'm from Minnesota.
@@MrC0MPUT3R Try making it yourself. I've found a good recipe online though I still live close enough that I just pick some up from those who make it all the time lol.
@@RosemaryHanson4056 Well first thing's first, it's Shoofly pie, not shoefly.
And second, I'm not surprised by that. It's a very regional thing. I was honestly a little surprised that the baker chose to feature it. I do heavily recommend it and you can find some good recipes for it online.
Frito pie was actually created for the 1982 world’s fair in Knoxville, TN. It’s called Petro’s and we still have a lot of stores here. It was originally served in the bag so it was portable, but they no longer serve it in the bag.

We use both autumn and fall...its not sugar syrup. It is the juice from the apple, the melted sugar, cinnamon and melted butter. Its called goodness
You're right, but it's also fair to call it a syrup - I think that's all he meant. It becomes a syrup in the baking 😁
@evantesseract737 it's not syrup, it's juice. Like when you cut into a perfectly cooked steak and the natural flavor and some seasoning oozes out, is it steak syrup?

Non-American talking here, you can answer this and anyone else cuz more insight the better, you mention that any fruit can end up in a pie, is there the existence of "orange pie" or is it just a flavor enhancer like a squeezed orange juice, orange zest, etc.?

@@SC_Jolly Those too!
I came here to say that. Key lime is amazing. And that was not a real one.
It seems like I remember them previously trying a key lime pie while in the USA but thinking it overly tart. I like my key lime pie to be slightly tart. Sometimes it’s an individual taste thing. Just like with collard greens. Sometimes they liked them and other times they didn’t when they cook had a lot of either lemon juice or vinegar in it. I prefer greens with just a smidgen of vinegar.
The comment I've been looking for lol key lime pie is better tart
Great to have an actual southern American making the pies to get the authentic experience. Unlike whatever list you guys looked up for that Halloween candy episode

I'm happy to see sweet potato pie getting the love it deserves!
Me too. I love homemade SPP.
Sweet potato pie is so much better than pumpkin pie in my opinion.
My family never had sweet potato pie when I was growing up. Not even the extended family. But when I was in college I started baking them. I baked so many of them that I still do not need to refer to a recipe, even if I haven't made one in a couple of years. It's muscle memory. I even make the sweet potato custard by itself, no crust, served scooped out and jumbled with hand-whipped cream. One thing though, that may be viewed as sacrilege, is that I do not use corn syrup in the recipe. It's just the sweets, a generous contribution of spices (emphasis on the cinnamon), dark brown sugar, an egg, and a can of Pet-brand evaporated milk (although whole milk or half-and-half work fine too). 🥰
Oh yeah - you guys hit the classics. Those are the backbone of the pie world. And the Nostalgia factor is real.
But there are sooo many others. Just wait till you try chocolate satin, banana cream, blackberry rasp, Strawberry rhubarb and custard. And the variations on each type are endless. Welcome home Jolly because thats what pies are synonymous for ♡
Growing up in S. Texas at our High School football games, when it's cool in the fall we could go to the snack stand and get Frito Pie which was a bag of Fritos, slit open on the side of the bag, with chili and cheese on on the chips inside. It warmed the hands, but was also convenient and awesome. Glad you boys liked it!

They call it a Frito pie because when this recipe first came out you put the Fritos in a casserole dish then topped it with chili and sliced American cheese or Velveeta topped with chopped onions and then stuck in the oven to bake. (AKA the frito pie)
It changes the consistency of the Fritos tremendously!

Yes, Amish peanut butter pie is SO good!
Baby Carrot! 😍 So nice to see Josh being a dad! Congrats! 🧡 (Plus, delicious pies!)
For someone who makes dessert with incredible amount of sugar David looks extremely healthy.
Good for him.
I assume he's not getting high off his own supply very often. If I worked there I'd be 500 pounds.
I rarely watch videos any more but I ❤ Jolly’s and will stop what I’m doing so I can enjoy their take on American culture. I would love for them to come to Minnesota so I could watch them experience ‘hot dish’, ‘jello salad’, and ‘bars’.
'Loved your PIE session with David! FYI: according to my elderly uncle, who lived in SE Pa. (Pennsylvania Dutch and Brethren area), "funeral pie" received its name because it contained no dairy, but did contain raisins -- making it spoil-proof and ingredient-accessible year-round for large all-day outdoor or barn gatherings. David's version did contain dairy -- but, over time, people do modify recipes.
Oh, the pain I felt when learning England does not have blueberry pie😟😄
Dont feel pain we do have it
Made with wild Maine blueberries is top tier.
this dude is just a novice. you could tell by his pies. if he isnt going to serve them a cherry pie, or a strawberry and rhubarb pie, then he isnt taking his profession seriously.
@@sharnadixon-scott710 do you have strawberry rhubarb pie? it has to be my favorite. i'm sure it would go over well there, since it isnt normally made as sweet as typical american fruit pies
@@sharnadixon-scott710 also, i know blackcurrant is far more common in the UK; blackcurrant and apple is one of my favorite combinations. if you havent had that either, i suggest you find one or make one.
I wish they could taste our northern pies which are not so sweet as in the South. But they are enjoying them and they are beautiful!
I haven't had a frito pie in so long. Really brings me back! Well done David!
I’ve been watching Jolly for years and I Love seeing people from MS!! Let’s go MS!!!
