both of our stomachs were genuinely growling during and after this video!! Have you tried popeyes? Thoughts?
if you check your original rection to Biscuits and Gravy, i dropped you my recipe to try out. if you do, i hope you and the fam enjoy it.
and yes, both of your squabs need to see that Biscuits and Gravy video.
I did send you a recipe for chicken taco marinade. I hope you got it.
I can give you a fried chicken recipe that's wayyyy better than KFC I'm a former chef from the American south and it's easy to make
There are a couple Popeyes in England now and there ARE KFC's in Slovakia. Google shows multiple locations.
I love Popeyes chicken
That kid who put fries on his chicken sandwich is an honorary American.
Indeed!
As long as he also dips them in a Milkshake
😂 He really made me happy with that. Lol
That kid is going places.
That kid has been on a couple times in those Jolly videos
As we say about the UK in the US, "They invaded and colonized half the world for seasoning, and then promptly decided not to use any of it."
Which is only half true really. Their immigrant population (and their diaspora) know how to season their food.
I think its because the english were at war with the french forever and refused to take any cuisine lessons from them. Thats why they dont know about cream gravy. Meanwhile france is americas oldest ally and they happily taught us how to cook.
“He’s a bit old to be a high schooler” lol
That’s the principle 😂😂
Popeyes recently opened in Poland and will be opening its first restaurant in Czechia Prague this September.
I watched another reacted try Popeye's and he said one recently opened up near London. He shared his journey to the restaurant, the long wait in line and then finally eating. So you can now buy Popeyes chicken in London.
Jolly, the guys who brought the chicken to the kids also has a video where the kids try American sausage gravy and biscuits. It's funny.
Need to watch the one with Jolly trying it first though.
He already did that one.
Popeye’s is actually pretty good. Spicy chicken, red beans and rice, mashed potatoes/gravy, biscuits, mac and cheese. Yum.
very true. i don't do micky d and that crap, but chicken is done right here for sure.
Have to agree with you on everything but the mash and gravy, biscuits, and mac and cheese. Coming from the South I have had so much better.
@@Sho81 I agree, there is better, but Popeye's seems to be pretty good for fast food. Certainly not the best I've ever had.
Their dirty rice is excellent too.
FYI that was Mr. Smith the school head master. It would blow your mind. Josh and Jolly took Mr Smith with the older School boys to Korea. It is a greats series.
That older guy is Mr Dave, the headmaster. It’s the Fulham Boys School in London… Josh and Ollie are friends with Mr Dave. That’s how they’ve been able to film there for the last few years and even taken a bunch of them to Korea.
They did a video of them giving korean fried chicken to the whole school once. They flew chefs in from Korea.
I'm a dad Jono, I love seeing other dads with their kids. It's a special bond! Thumbs up as always my stranger friend.
One thing about our biscuits you have to have butter on them when yiu add honey or jelly
you saved me from having to say it. many thanks.
Absolutely
Yes, they'd say "they're dry" well you didn't put butter on them! LOL
Exactly! They need to think of it as an alternative to bread. You can eat a plain piece of bread, but that would be "dry" too, and adding butter to most anything also adds FLAVOR!
Butter and strawberry jam is the best combo IMHO.
The reason KFC and Popeyes chicken is so much better than home cooked is the cooking process, both places pressure fry their chicken which cooks it faster and locks the moisture into the meat and making the batter extra crunchy!
Popeyes’ spicy chicken sandwich is the absolute best!
Now I need to go get one! 🤤
Josh and Ollie are friends with the headmaster. And it’s an all boys school. They have done videos with a few generations of students. The first students they had in their videos they took to Korea, highly recommend those videos!
Popeyes has expanded outside the US. There are a couple of them in the UK.
In America we generally only use the word burger for ground meat patties whether its beef or turkey or whatever but if its a whole cut of meat it would just be a sandwich
Speak for yourself. Here in the Midwest there's a chicken burger on almost every menu and no, it's not minced.
@@brians48now dude I'm from the midwest so speak for your own little weird town and fact that you even used the word minced leads me to believe you aren't in or from America to begin with
@@cbogolo I'm in Iowa pal. Call it what you want but minced or ground is the same thing. If you claim to have never seen a chicken burger or a steak burger or a pork burger on a menu then you are flat out lying.
@@brians48now i won't hold being from Iowa against you and a steak burger is a fancy way of saying hamburger to fool stupid people into paying more money. And no I have never seen anyplace ij America have a chicken or pork burger but like a normal American I have seen chicken and pork fritters and sandwiches
@@cbogolo Then you apparently live under a rock. You've never seen it so that means it doesn't exist. Gotcha. Must be quite a relief living with such a simplistic view of the world.
I love the Jolly channel. But every time they try American food, it kills me inside because it just makes me wonder what kind of bland nightmare Brits eat every day.
And how greasy the chicken is.
I am in shock that many brits like canned heinz beans and toast and are actually semi proud of that. What dire straits are they in over there?????
@@nullakjg767 to be fair, it doesn’t sound disgusting, just blah. Those are both bland foods. Why bother putting two bland foods together?
And before I get comments defending beans, I do know beans can be quite tasty if prepared right. I am referring to the specific beans they eat, which are as bland as bland can get.
I've said this on many of these reaction channels. When we moved to the US, even food at restaurants that were supposedly the same food, was completely different, the ones in America tasted A LOT better, it has a lot more flavor. And yes the food is definitely bland, in comparison. You never really know it though until you tried good food haha we noticed it day 1
@@circedeluneYes, I agree
Mac and cheese is great if you put the crumbly chicken pieces in with it
Those kids are so polite, What a blast. Thanks for the video.
Bojangles chicken in my opinion is soooo much better, but it isn’t all over the south. North & South Carolina, Virginia parts of Tennessee and Georgia.
Agreed. Bojangles is the superior chicken (and biscuit) franchise.
It's coming to Illinois. I am always happy to try a new fried chicken. Currently Popeyes is my favorite, but I have not tried Bojangles because we don't have them yet.
Popeyes trying to sell a strawberry biscuit is just sad
I checked. The closest Bojangles to my house is 2,455 miles away. 😢
Popeyes has been in the UK for a little under a year now I think, but one thing we eat on it that I haven't seen them use there are the spice packets called Cajun Sparkle. Popeyes, the Cajun Sparkle seasoning is made with garlic, onion, and red and black pepper
Chick Fil A (how they spell it but is pronounced Chick Fillet) aka “The Lord’s Chicken” is another good chicken sandwich fast food restaurant. Besides the variety of chicken sandwiches they have chicken tenders with a number of dipping sauces. They also have waffle fries, or chips as they call them across the pond. They are potatoes cut up in away to look like waffles. The Lord’s Chicken moniker is because the whole chain is closed on Sundays. They also are famous for funny roadside signs with cows writing things like “Eat mor chikin”.
Your comment about the UK and spices made me chuckle. Funny how the British conquered so much land looking for spices, but then refused to use them 'eh? Haha! High vibes from AB Canada.
Okay this is going to sound so strange but hear me out: I absolutely love parents who are impressed by their daughters ability to finish food quickly or by their daughters ability to eat and will allow their daughters to have healthy and happy relationships with food. It genuinely brought such a smile to my face to hear that burger story. So many parents make their daughters feel badly about eating and their sons feel good about eating and I love seeing parents who just allow all of their children to have healthy relationships with their own bodies and with food.
Lol, you’ve got a beautiful family. Can’t wait to see the content when you guys get here to Texas! Keep the kids’ reactions coming as well!
-God bless
I am a dad to a 12 year old and I really enjoy seeing you on this journey with your daughter. I live in Austin and think you're making a good decision!
Also In and out burgers and 5 guys, their potatoes are out of this world! I’m on an empty stomach watching you guys on an empty stomach! Let’s eat!!😂
There are a couple of Popeyes in the UK. Its not exactly the same as the states, but close enough. "Mr H & friends" channel had Popeyes in fl while visiting, then tried the UK version when they got back home. They did taco bell too❤❤
Peri Peri is absolutely delicious. I lived on La Réunion for 2 years and had a ton of it there. Absolutely adore your neck of the woods.
There is also a restaurant in the UK that specializes in Texas barbecue. The pit master learned in Texas and travels here a few times a year to learn new secrets.
Dipping the biscuit in the Mash, and Gravy is the Best.
The Headmaster is really good friends with Josh. That's why they can come into the school.
He even went to Korea with Josh, and Ollie when the previous High School class went as a reward for being able to finish a cup of Korean Fire Chicken Noodles.
I can't wait to have you and the family in America. My Irish Girl friend feel in love with the spices and different options of food here from all around the world. My personal favorite the Mexican food is to die for . Here in Alabama we have any vegetable fruit or meat,fish or drink fresh daily that you could imagine. It's hard to stay slim and trim . God bless
9:34 _"Ring Sting"_ is new to me. when i was growing up, we would sometimes call it (for example), _"Two Burn Chili"_
(burns going in. burns coming out.)
Your children are beautiful and are lucky to have you for a Dad. Love to see such a sweet family.
It always taste better if someone else cooks.
Thanks! Your children are lovely.
OMG, thank you so much,that is very generous of you!
Love your food reaction video's guy's. Great family and even better values. Keep up the good work.
I've got two words for many future videos. Bama Bass. This guy built a 5 acre Bass pond in his farm and I think this family would be amazed.
Popeye's just recently opened some franchises in the U.K. The first one opened in 2021 and there are currently 17 stores. Legend has it that they are planning on opening 20 more stores in 2023.
One of the tricks to making chicken crunchy is adding a bit of corn or potato starch to the breading. Mac & Cheese should be baked in the oven, and top a little bit browned for the best taste and texture. And, those biscuits look PERFECT! Cut in half, and a bit of butter and jam or jelly..... YUM! Honey is also quite good.
I like these videos with your family -- they seem really great people. I was never blessed with a family. I envy that, even the arguments.
Spread some of that luck around, huh?
If you like good seasonings, you should try something called OLD BAY SEASONING. In the South ( USA ), this seasoning is a staple in our households. We put this stuff on everything from seafood to potato chips. You could probably get this online from the US if you wanted. I think you would like it especially on seafood. I never eat steamed shrimp or crabs without it. A little goes a long way with this stuff, so make sure to taste before you dump though. My grandmother would use some in her breading mixture when she cooked fried chicken, and have even seen where people will sprinkle some on their macaroni and cheese. It really does go with everything.
The hot sauce from Old Bay is pretty good. Love it on wings, excellent with steamed crabs.
My son came home the other day with Goldfish seasoned with Old Bay. It was actually pretty good.
@@latigo3332 My sister and I worked at McCormick in Baltimore where it's now made. His son's girlfriend came in and said "This house always smells like Old Bay." My sister looked at her and said "You better believe it." I put it in soup, crab cakes, steamed shrimp, steamed crabs when I'm back east, in macaroni salad. A little goes a long way.
Jono hope your back is better. I know the pain. My back has rendered me medically retired.
The headmaster is actually a friend of Josh and Ollie from when they were teens. That's how they were able to do this video and all the food videos on their channel Korean Englishman at the school.
Ill keep posting this link until i see the video brother its that GOOD🙏🙏
I'm always the cook. The kids even ask if I made it made when 'mom' tells them the food's ready. Dad powa.
How could you not choose Texas BBQ or the Rodeo for your lovely daughter?!
South African dudes seem cool, solid real guys.
I started to watch this hungry and halfway thru I'm now starving lol, may have to pause and grab me something to eat lol 😂
You can show you daughter the Jolly Video with a lot of the same kids. British High Schoolers try biscuits and gravy for the first time.
From what I understand, there is a Popeyes that opened in England. That’s how they were able to get the food.
Your daughter is beautiful. ❤ I'm sorry you're hurting. That's no good.
There two Absolute things we do here in America guns and food, the fact i can go to any other state here and still would need two lifetimes to try everything is what makes it great here, and honestly eating local is whole different ball park if you can find great hole in the wall wherever one treats each like family
If you can only have one bottle of spice in your spice rack, make it Cajun seasoning. It works on everything and is the perfect blend of many spices and also has a nice kick to it.
I am always so tempted... I must say it now!!! Hi, Princess!!
Baked mac and cheese is the best! With several cheeses and bacon, breadcrumbs on top -- Yum!
I know that there is a lot of confusion both in the U.S. and in other countries about what do you call something either a 'burger' or a 'sandwich'... well, here's the way to tell...
the breading (bun) does NOT make something a 'burger'... "Burger" is short for HAMBURGER, thus ONLY ground beef shaped into a patty and cooked, then placed on bread (of any type as sliced sandwich bread can also be used and it doesn't make it a 'sandwich'...) is the ONLY thing that can be called a 'burger'. EVERYTHING else is a 'sandwich' by definition.
'sandwich' is meat between two bread pieces. and while a 'burger' fits that definition, it is a special sub-category by itself. so chicken, pork, ham, turkey, ect are all sandwiches when put between bread. even pulled beef or loose ground beef is still a sandwich (sloppy Joe). only the ground beef, shaped into a patty and cook then placed in between bread is a 'burger'. most people are unaware of this distinction and will mistakenly call many sandwiches as 'burgers'. especially when it's a patty shape...
Just came across your channel & I love it!! Especially love when you have your children on with you 👍🏻❤️…I subscribed, I’m from California 😎
The UK has a few Popeyes now and since it’s been hugely popular they’re building more.
Josh's wife is a professional chef and former competitor of Top Chef, she also has a youtube cooking channel
My refrigerator stopped working about 5 days ago. It was 30 years old. Lost about $600 of food. Ordered a new fridge but won't be delivered until August 2nd. It's odd living without a refrigerator.
Yes just opened their first location in Stratford , UK in 2021
Fun fact; I Googled Popeyes in the UK & they have over 10 locations there. So, they are set.
@jonograhamreacts Very beautiful Family you have! I'm so Happy for you!
I don't know how hard it is to make biscuits, but the gravy is real easy.
Have you done sausage gravy yet along with the buttermilk biscuits? If you don't breakfast sausage, hamburger patty works too. Same with if you have ground pork on hand.
Watching British balk @ Popeye's hot wings.
While munching a bakers dozen mix of Quaker Steak & Lube "Atomic & Mango Habanero" Hot wings.
They're not ready for this, their grandchildren might like it though.😂
Popeyes came to Spain,U.K and Switzerland in #2021
Love it in Madrid
You can really tell Lea is your daughter, she looks so much like you from eyes, nose and cheekbones.
Ive heard the reason food tastes better when someone else cooks it is because while cooking, the snells and if you try it, the flavors deaden or overwhelm or already inundate your taste buds and your smell receptors, so by the time you eat it, youre already a little inoculated to the flavor.
Right,! Makes me less critical of my food because it comes out tasting the way I expected. Other's cooking turns me into Gordon Ramsey with PMS. Kidding! 😊
I live in the city with Wendy’s hq. When I was in school they would get us together to test out new products. It was always a nice break from regular school food.
You were talking about spices with your cooking. I have found that the southern part of the states seems to season more. My son lives in upstate NY & salted food is the best your can get. We visit there & I cook the entire time we visit for my son's in-laws & make skillets or corn bread.
That Headmaster is the one that went with Josh from Jolly to South Korea on Josh's other channel called the Korean Englishman.
Popeye's is either the best fried chicken you ever had from a restaurant or it is bad, just depends on the location/owners. Same ingredients, some places train their staff, others do not. Unlike Chick-Fil-A, never been to a bad location for them and their staff is always professional and nice. Bojangles has always been consistent also but there are not too many of them around me.
As for the UK Popeye's, they just opened some recently.
Popeyes gravy is awesome, I don't need the mashed but it's nice but always order extra gravy on the side!
From what I can find, I believe there is a Popeyes in Poland, if you fancy a long road trip for chicken! LOL!
Watching you guys together do a reaction is so fun, you play off each other super well. Both of your comments are so cool.
Josh & Ollie learned about dipping their Chicken in Potatoes and Gravy when they first tried Popeye’s with Keith from “Try Guys”. If you haven’t seen that Jolly video yet I’d recommend checking it out.
And now everyone thinks that’s The Thing to Do. 🙄😂
You are so right about someone else cooking the same thing you do. Have my grandma's chicken recipe. Can't get it right no matter what
theres actually a couple few popeyes in the uk now!
It's ok for metal in honey but silver is another historical case of a very long story. You just don't want to destroy the beneficial bacteria and enzymes.
Popeyes chicken is heavenly it created a chicken war and shortage in America. I do have the recipe of both KFC and Popeyes.
Seasoning while cooking is a must!😊😊😊😊
They also have a really good red beans and rice as a , thats the one I usually get. It also has nice seasoning in it
Biscuits and gravy is great! I mix mine with eggs and potatoes!
10:35 Actually, milk or cream is the "antidote" to spicy food. Enzymes in milk products will break down and nullify the spice compound(s). So, have milk handy if you're faced with a spicy meal you may not be able to handle. This is also why ranch dressing is a popular dip or side for fried chicken wings with spicy buffalo wing sauce.
For the tenders, you can get spicy, mild, blackened (spicy or mild).
The potatoes are even spicy, my ex will not eat there anymore because the potatoes were too spicy for her liking and that was back when we were married about 8 years ago. I think that was the first and last time she had Popeyes.
True biscuit and gravy cooks from the country call it Cathead Biscuits and Sawmill Gravy. Makes your tongue come out your mouth and try to beat you to death. 😂
You have to put butter and honey on the biscuits.
I just started watching you channel and I love it! Your daughter and son are so good looking, smart and so well behaved. I love hearing how excited you all are about coming to see the US. I live in California and am too old to travel anymore but I somehow wish I could be there to see your faces and enjoy it when you do. I hope your trip is everything you have hoped for and more!
I know I shouldn’t be proud of the 5467 bazillion calorie fast food.. but I kinda am 😂
Your daughter (I’m sorry that I don’t know how to spell her name, and I don’t want to misspell) has been absolutely adorable on the last few videos.
When y’all come to Texas, I would be happy to make y’all some real chicken fried steak and all the sides (fixins) with a warm pecan pie and ice cream.
This is what we do in Texas. If I can’t accommodate, there are ladies (and their families) all over the state that will serve you the best food and get you settled in the guest rooms, if you want.
*Best food other than my food, of course*
There are a lot of stereotypes about Texas. I claim good food, and hospitality more genuine than I have ever seen in other parts of the world.
I do not claim the ridiculously hot summers or mosquitoes. Or lovebugs. Or any of the multitude of flying insects.
Y’all will love Texas! And sunscreen and bug spray 😂
I live in Louisiana. Popeyes is the bomb around here. Try the dirty rice & red beans & rice if you ever get a chance to eat their chicken. Yum
Love their frozen mango lemonade
Chick-fil-A is another great restaurant chain you should try when you come to America. Their nuggets are so addictive but they are not open on Sunday
I follow a couple of different Brits, and they were really happy bc Popeye's finally came to London a couple of months back. There is no contest between KFC and Popeye's. Popeye's wins. And Jolly (Josh and Olly) comes to shoot at the school bc Josh (I believe) is actually friends with the headmaster (the guy in the vid). They went to college together or something like that. They've known each other a long time. If you look back at their vids, they did this with a group of boys previously, and it became really popular. Josh actually did school in South Korea, is basically fluent, and wanted to see how people in London would react to Korean food. So Jolly would bring authentic Korean food and snacks to the school, and shoot vids. Well, that group of boys has now graduated and are in college. As a graduation gift, Jolly took them to South Korea! But it was such a popular series (on his channels Jolly and Korean Englishman), that they're doing it with new students. It's a great series, you should really check it out! You should also check out the food series that they did w/ 2 rappers. They are hilarious!
If you ever make your own American biscuits, you need to mix honey and butter together, whip it so most delightful thing you’ll ever taste biscuits with whipped butter and honey
The key to making your own crispy fried chicken........ after you season the chicken have a bag of baking flour ready. Put the whole piece of chicken in the bag of flour and shake it up well making sure that the whole piece is fully coated and then place it in a pot of boiling oil. It will come out extra Crispy.
Loool we have a bunch off American restaurants in London Wendy’s popeyes Taco Bell and a couple more
I wholeheartedly get what you said about food tasting better when someone else makes it and you not maybe enjoying your own food as much. I worked in several sandwich shops here in NYC or as we call the bodegas and people loved my sandwiches but when I made them for myself I didn't find them as tasty, but if i passed by another place and got one from there I would absolutely love it and find it so much better lol idk what it is, maybe we're weird in a way 😂😂
