I really love the older black lady. She needs to have her own series called "Stories with Momma" where she just starts every video with "Let me tell you something". She would tell different stories from her life. I would totally watch every video.
True southerner here...if it was in the woods, pond or found in the creek, we ate it. Bambi, squirrel, raccoon to catfish to turtles...we ate it. Four acres of vegetables on top of it. We went to town once a month to buy other groceries.
@Jessica B. Yes, southerners do love their fried foods. Unfortunately, so many things that could be healthy (such as chicken, fish, potatoes & other veggies) are often battered & fried. Southerners also tend to overcook vegetables. For example, when southerners steam broccoli, it often looks like soup! Casseroles are a big thing, too; very unhealthy with lots of added butter, cheese and salt. Our desserts are usually very sweet and you can't have unsweetened iced tea! However, I'm a southerner and grew up on southern food. Some of my favorites as a kid (like mac 'n cheese, peas & cornbread & pecan pie) are delicious- you just can't indulge in those foods every day. I'm sure each area of the US and other countries have some very delicious, but unhealthy dishes too. As for your aversion to fried foods, I can understand that. There's nothing worse than being hit with the smell of used, old or rancid grease when you walk in the door of a restaurant. Anything fried must be cooked in hot, fresh oil and then well drained before serving. It's very unappetizing to be served a plate of greasy, soggy fried foods. I only eat fried foods occasionally now. You can lose your taste for fried foods and lots of sugar- it's an acquired preference. You tend to love the food you grew up eating, but you can learn to enjoy healthier foods. I have.
When the wonderful older lady said, "as for me and my house" about the alligator, I automatically thought, "we will serve the Lord". I think that goes to show how Southern I am ;D
Definitely, but the younger ones could either be children of Northerners or just raised in one of the big cities (atlanta, Charlotte, New Orleans) where they've slowly been losing Southern traditions
It’s so funny seeing the Asian lady who sounds soooo southern... didn’t expect that accent! 🤣 Man I love our country. A beautiful mixture of so many races, ethnicities and cultures. 🇺🇸
I kinda think it's funny that in all those "inclusive" movies, the Asian characters always speak with some Asian accent. Never an American with slit eyes.
Vietnamese-American from Arkansas here. I have a southern twang in my speech but not a full on southern accent from what my buddies and family say. I’ve visited northern/northeastern states and western states and people were just confused or surprised whenever I talked because they’ve never “heard of an asian guy with a full southern accent before”.
Fried green tomatoes; deer; peanuts and coke, alligator, cornbread and milk, ate them all, dang, I must be southern. LOL. Originally from south Louisiana.
A good friend of mine was second generation Korean (with a Korean name), ended up working for a company my company hired to contract with us. This was great, having a good friend to work with. Anyway one of our customers was a Korean company. At the onset of the project we all traveled to Seoul South Korea for a introduction meeting. The customers came into the meeting, we each stood up, introduced ourselves, passed out business cards, and the meeting began. The engineers and managers of the Korean company all tried to speak Korean to my friend, and looked confused when he did not reply. At the end of the meeting, my friend stood up and with a very thick Arkansas accent, apologized to the customers and admitted he knew almost no Korean (a fact that we all knew). The expressions on the customers was priceless!

Dude was the only one who knew about chocolate gravy. It's delicious! My mama made the best chocolate gravy. Also, I have a few family members who love banana and mayo sandwiches.
Cornbread and milk: in my house after supper for desert Dad would put a large pat of butter into a small pool of molasses (or better sorghum syrup), mix and spread on cornbread. If there was no molasses in the house then honey would serve.
My husband's grandma introduced me to chocolate gravy. You melt butter and mix cocoa powder, sugar and flour together and add the mix tobthe melted butter like you're making a rue. Then add milk and a dash of vanilla or chocolate milk until its a nice gravy consistency and you can pour it over fresh warm biscuits or hot cakes.
Is this young, white guy even from the South? He says no, or acts weirded out by everything that's legit Southern. "I have no experience with that"... endlessly. He's so yuppie.

When I was on Germany, my host family cooked the most delicious venison My Romanian side have as well and my Buni (grandma) is the best cook. Definitely more of a rural thing and great if you don't have a lot of money
Its eaten in Nepal as well (fyi a small landlocked asian country). You basically make jerky out of it and then cook it as a spicy broth soup. Great for winters, but hard to come by.
Yep. Friends out here in IL are hunters, they have a group that does game dinners every so often. Also a lot of historic re-enactors out here are hunters too, and game pie is a staple camp food. Not to mention Wurst Kitchens in Aurora that allows hunters to bring in deer and makes venison sausages.
@Larry Richards we don't have acorns where i'm from lol but i get what you mean,, all grass-fed meat (as opposed to corn, etc.) is gonna taste atleast a bit "gamy",, but he's also correct when ppl use that term to mean "tastes like shit",,😅😅😅
Right, I had no idea. I’m from Michigan and my best friends mom makes it, trust me this woman has never been anywhere near the south. I had no idea it was southern.
I was raised in Texas. Never saw pepper jelly until a brief exile in Oakland. Saw it, both red and jalapeño, at Farmer Joe’s. It makes excellent hammetachen filling.
I'm an AZ native and I've seen it my whole life (41 yrs) here. It's probably because of the chilis and the southwest but now I'm wondering where else it's been available long-term.
Pepper Jelly and Cream Cheese is not a Southern thing. I’m not sure where they got this one in their video. Pepper Jelly is all over the U.S. and I’ve lived all over the U.S. as an adult thanks to the military and civil service.
Before you confuse anyone, buttermilk is sour as hell and not regular milk. I’ll do cornbread with a glass of milk, but never buttermilk. That’s death in a cup
Born and raised in Florida For 22 years. 1.) Banana & Mayo Sandwiches are Delicious. 2.) Peanuts in Coke is amazing, definitely worth trying. 3.) Deer Meat is as good as it good gets. 4.) Fried green tomatoes are awesome too. 5.)Alligator is hands down better than chicken.
Have 2 cousins that are adopted from China and raised deep in south carolina, we're puerto rican. Gets some looks north of the mason Dixon that don't realise we diverse down here.
My cousin married a wonderful Philippino woman and my other a precious Japanese auntie (she's an elder at 80). My blasian cousins are well loved only remembered they're also Asian the southern accent is real😅.
Absolutely. Reminds me of my next door neighbor back in Georgia. She always had a plate of ribs wrapped in tin foil from the barbecue saved for me. Miss you Mrs LaRue
The young, white dude in the denim jacket... definitely has me wondering where he's really from. Did his folks just TRY to make sure that they distanced themselves from Southern cooking, habits, and culture?
@@AlbredaWelde I've lived here (in TN) all my life and never eaten these weird combinations of stuff, nor have I heard of people eating majority of these things. I was actually expecting even more weird gross crap like livers, gizzards, chitlins, or more general statements about food such as meat and fat in almost all of the veggies.
@@kaylawaters2691 I'm from East TN and my dad ate cornbread and milk growing up. My husband is also from East TN and ate that and peanuts with coke. My family has pretty much tried everything on the list besides banana/mayo sandwiches, pepper jelly, alligator, and chocolate gravy
I love tomato sandwiches, but if I eat them with mayo it’s Duke’s. I generally eat them with mustard though and salt (no pepper). We used to bring tomatoes inside after picking them, wash them in the sink and eat the like an apple with salt. But I eat salt on apples too.
Peanuts and cola...R.C. Cola with peanuts. Take a good swig of the cola. Pour the peanuts in the ice cold R.C. the best sweet salty I've ever had. If you don't know R.C Cola you just ain't had real cola, bless your heart. 😘
anye76 you got me with a good swig !! We say that all of the time, “ I need a good swig of coke “. Haha I don’t care for peanuts in mine though. My brother and I were sharing a coke when we were kids and I didn’t know that he dumped a bunch of peanuts in the coke. I took a swallow and spit it all over the back of the driver’s seat. He got to have the rest of it by himself.
@@killersopinion1829 Most likely. It's hard to find these days, but man! What a combination! In the spicy category, most have only heard of pepper sauce or hot sauce. Chow chow is a complete mystery.
I love everyone on this but I have a special love for the elder lady in the pink dress especially when she says "ooh child" and the I love man in the College tshirt - both super funny! 🙌🏼💜
Dang I’m AL born and bred, still here. I love banana and Mayo sandwiches. As I do tomato and Mayo sandwiches (these with salt and pepper), I guess we are weird then. It’s so good. I’m surprised more people here aren’t saying they like it. I guess there’s a taste for everyone! Dang, ima go make one now….
Forget eating Southern food, does that one kid in the jean jacket eat food, at all? He seemed like he'd never heard of these food words, let alone traditional meals, :P
I grew up eating mayo and banana sandwiches! ( NC, GA and VA is were my family is from.) I agree with the lady that said it differs from county to county /state to state at times! ❤️
Chocolate gravy was a staple in my college cafeteria in Arkansas. And pepper jellies always sold out so fast at the farmer's market. Deer was like a third of the meat in my house growing up. Dad killed it, we processed it at home. If you grind it up, it loses the gamey flavor. We used it in chili and spaghetti and my dad would make jerky with it for Christmas.
I actually grew up eating banana and mayo sandwiches. It's actually pretty good because you have the sweetness of the banana and a bit of vinegary mayo that taste good when combined.
As a "Yankee" I can say: pepper jelly is amazing, I have eaten a lot of deer (seems more like a hunter thing than a southern thing), fried green tomatoes are great, gator is good it taste like chicken that is from the ocean, and I'll go crazy for some cornbread and milk. I've never tried the banana and mayonnaise sandwich or chocolate gravy but I would if it were around. Some of the ones I think they missed: Okra Crawfish/crayfish Pork cracklings Chitlins
@@avapepp I always called em crawfish, but most people in the north said "cray". I used to spend a lot of time on a river and would often catch and cook them, little melted butter. It's better than lobster.
I'm 67 years old Alabama born and bred and I can tell you YES we Southerners do eat ALL those things. I never heard it called "chocolate grave" until recently...we always called in "cocoa syrup". It was a Christmas Eve tradition at my parent's house.
Cocoa syrup? Uhm, I've never heard of it, and from a long line of southern people. What is it exactly and how's it made? I had white cream gravy on chocolate cake with my uncle once as a little girl. It was really great, but I've not had the nerve to try it again.
I, too, am from Alabama and we called it Chocolate Gravy and it was always for breakfast over biscuits. I’ve never heard of Cocoa gravy. So I guess even in Alabama people call things differently. It was more of a Central to Northern Alabama thing. When I was adopted into a family in SE Alabama, they had never heard of it.
I am from Jackson, MS and my mom always made cornbread and milk. I have tried the buttermilk and cornbread, it was alright, but my family just does regular milk with warm cornbread and some sugar. Best thing in the world!
Chocolate Gravy is awesome. My mom who's from Kansas made it while growing up in Oklahoma. Absolutely love it. I introduced my wife from CA to it and now she's hooked. And I totally agree that the guy in the jean jacket is a spy from the north.
@@chriscox6598 There's an art to it. Smooth peanut butter on one side, sliced banana on top, and the mayo on the other piece of bread. Like he said, keeps the peanut butter from sticking to the roof of your mouth.
My mom was from Illinois and my dad mostly grew up in Oklahoma. Both sides of the family fixed a lot of those except for the chocolate gravy and the alligator. Cornbread in milk (we use sweet milk instead of buttermilk) really *is* a thing and so is popcorn in milk. Yes, it's savory and not sweet. To this day my niece, who is in her 40's gags at even the thought of popcorn or cornbread in milk. We *know* she wasn't switched in the hospital because she looks entirely too much like the rest of the women in the family, but somehow she doesn't like our food. In fact, at her high school graduation party one of her girlfriends saw all of us women in the family-including my grandma, aunt, mom, sister, and I along with my niece and told her, "I can certainly tell which women are from your family! You all do have a strong family resemblance!"
My dad would eat his with buttermilk, I eat mine with regular milk. Any kind of dark coke “soda” either coke, Dr Pepper or RC and it has to be Spanish peanuts.
I looked up the recipe of chocolate gravy , and we eat this A LOT in Brazil ( at least in my state ) .. is that really weird ? It’s soo good ! 🥰😋 Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
North Carolinian here and I have had all of these items. My Dad used to eat 'Naner Sanmiches all the time for lunch. I'm not a fan of peanuts but I've definitely tried the them with Coke.
Deer is not an inherently southern thing, people deer hunt up north too, maybe even more than in the South. Deer is country, not Southern. And I love it! The best, leanest, cleanest meat there is, much better for you than beef actually. If its “Gamey”, then you aren’t preparing it right. Alligator is a regional thing, it’s only popular where alligators live, Florida and Louisiana, mostly. And it is good! Sweat meat, the texture of chicken. I’ve had rattlesnake too, but I guess that’s a western thing? And it was awesome! So good, that if I see a rattlesnake, I’m coming for it!
@@alphagt62 I used to love deer. I was cooking it when I was pregnant in the 1980's. The smell made me sick. I have not been able to eat it since and I have tried many times. I miss deer meat. Especially back strap. =(
@@alphagt62 I'm in the southwest, and I have yet to find a way to eat rattlesnake that isn't gross. Tried it cooked over a fire, fried, oven roasted, in a crock pot, and steamed... I eat weird stuff all the time, but I have given up on rattlesnake.
Okay, I’m from Georgia and my entire family has lived in GA forever, so I can say that some of these people don’t seem like southerners at all! Lol The younger guys didn’t know anything about this stuff! A lot of stuff like pepper jelly and cornbread w/ milk, I don’t eat personally, but it’s so common that I know about it all. Also, the older lady was HILARIOUS 😂
And Pepper jelly isn’t even Southern. I’m from SE Alabama, but I live in WA State now and pepper jelly is here too and it was in Maine when I lived there and even Alaska too.
When they said do southerners eat deer it brought me straight back to my childhood when I would go to my friend’s house and his grandfather would’ve made fresh venison jerky. God do I miss that it was sooo goood.
I was born in Alabama, raised near Pensacola and now live in Tx. I eat all of it, corn bread with regular milk and Miracle whip on the peanut nut butter and bananas. I love gator!! I love all the items mentioned. LoL.
Banana & mayo or PB is delish either way! My Granny used to make me biscuits & chocolate gravy for breakfast, wonderful! Pepper jelly is great with cream cheese. Fried green tomato’s are great anytime! We will fry anything that doesn’t fry us first! I love fried alligator tail. My daddy & uncle & bestie always ate cornbread & buttermilk but not me. ( Alabama born & raised)
Bananas and mayonnaise are awesome! My daddy used to dip the banana straight into the Kraft mayonnaise jar. I also eat pineapple and mayonnaise sandwiches.
Surprise! Not all southerners are the same. They're all beautiful individuals with their own individual southern tastes ❤❤ Edit: us in the north also eat deer. My brother in law does his share of hunting
I was raised a coastal child in the south. Things I cannot bring myself to try are pigs feet, cow tongue and pickled eggs, but everytime I see an alligator? Aw man. I just think dinner has arrived. Battered and fried alligator with dip. Yah baby. Fried green tomato would go well with it as well as a sweet lemon tea. I can pretty much eat anything out of the sea. Deer isn't the only thing we like. Try squirrel, crawfish, chocolate covered crickets or frogs legs in a pinch. Woo! Yes cornbread and milk is definitely a thing here in Texas. One thing I know for sure that mostly guys like down here? Is hot sauce. On everything.
1. I love gator. 2. My sister said she went with my mom and aunt back to their hometown, and on the way back, my mom had them turn down an unmarked street, went a few blocks down, and went into a store with no name posted. She came out with a single pig's foot in a napkin and asked everyone if they wanted some. My sister said she declined.
Pickled eggs come in a wide array of flavors and ingredients. I cannot stand the eggs done in beet juice. While working on a contract in Long Beach, CA, some co-workers took me to this place called Joe Josts. They bought me the Joe's special sandwich ( rye bread, polish sausage slit down the length with pickle slice put into the slit, yellow mustard and swiss cheese), two pickled eggs and a cold schooner of beer. The beer was Eastside Old Tap Lager and not too bad. The eggs were served with pretzel sticks and I didn't really want one. The guys needled me into taking a bite. The heavens opened and angels sang it was that good. I have been an acolyte spreading the word ever since. I got a Xerox of a newspaper article claiming to be their recipe. I have used it for nearly 50 years. I had two for breakfast. Our cleaning lady saw the jar and snagged two for lunch. Go to their website and get a feel for the place. They have been in business since 1924. Doing something right. If you want I can make the recipe available to you. :-)
I am soooo in love with the older black lady. Everything about her is just so wonderful and authentic and sassy and warm. I just wish she was my granny or auntie or something and give me lots of hugs and call me "child" and also talks some sense into me. Like I would love to have a big southern family. Although as I understand (mostly from your sketches caze I'm Russian who been living in NY for most of my life at this point so a definite yank and the only south I've been to is Florida haha) ya'll are a bit TOO much in other people's business hahah I DO love my privacy. But I also miss having a family. And she just feels like family.
I am from Pennsylvania and I love pepper jelly!! We make a dip layer cream cheese and top with pepper jelly. Get some crackers and spread some on. Yum! I lived in South Carolina for 2 years, one of best 2 years of my life. LOVE Fried green tomatoes also!! I am going to try a banana mayonnaise sandwich next.

I'm an AZ native and I've seen it my whole life (41 yrs) here. It's probably because of the chilis and the southwest but now I'm wondering where else it's been available long-term.
Pepper Jelly and Cream Cheese is not a Southern thing. I’m not sure where they got this one in their video. Pepper Jelly is all over the U.S. and I’ve lived all over the U.S. as an adult thanks to the military and civil service.
Absolutely LOVE banana sandwiches with Blueplate mayonnaise (with it without peanut butter)! ❤️ Definitely try it! ❤️ from GA
Deer: yes. Fried green tomato sandwich; yep. Alligator is very good. Yes; Cornbread and buttermilk before bed.
Yeeyee
Chocolate gravy no thank you.
Before you confuse anyone, buttermilk is sour as hell and not regular milk. I’ll do cornbread with a glass of milk, but never buttermilk. That’s death in a cup
We always had cornbread, buttermilk and onions. Anyone else do the same? Our cornbread was more hoecake not the yellow crumbly stuff.
Jbramson12 I mean I feel like people forget the reason it’s called *Buttermilk*
Born and raised in Florida For 22 years.
1.) Banana & Mayo Sandwiches are Delicious.
2.) Peanuts in Coke is amazing, definitely worth trying.
3.) Deer Meat is as good as it good gets.
4.) Fried green tomatoes are awesome too.
5.)Alligator is hands down better than chicken.
Question...is the coke improved or the peanuts. Is it about the salt added to the coke or the coke sweetening the nuts? I've never done it.
@@dgeneeknapp3168 Its both
I think you being from Florida that list makes sense but for the rest of southerners I don’t think so.
I tried alligator when I was in Florida. Thank Jesus for alligators.
Love mostly everything. Deer is good if cooked right. Never had gator so I cant judge there.
YES SOUTHERNS EAT GATOR. NOT JUST IN LA. IVE HAD IT IN SEVERAL STATES.
I live in southern coastal GA and it’s everywhere
From south Fl yes we eat gator
And fried frog legs

I recommend to everyone to have green fired tomatoes with gravy. A nice thickish gravy with some nice homemade biscuits 😋😋😍.
i have never seen a asian with a country accent and its awesome.
Check out Henry Cho. Man's as southern as it comes and pretty funny too.
Have 2 cousins that are adopted from China and raised deep in south carolina, we're puerto rican. Gets some looks north of the mason Dixon that don't realise we diverse down here.
Ever see a Henry Cho special?
@@dedpoptart that is so cool, i love that!! im sure u get bored of confusing them th0 😅😅😅
My cousin married a wonderful Philippino woman and my other a precious Japanese auntie (she's an elder at 80). My blasian cousins are well loved only remembered they're also Asian the southern accent is real😅.
"As for me and my house, I ain't eatin no alligator"--Yes, ma'am!
I think she was the best one on here. I'd pay to see her in a video with Ms Brenda.
You’re missing out! Gator tail is delicious!
@@RhondaKL exactly! Gator is amazing!
I Loved her ! She's precious
I've eaten banana, mayo & peanut butter sandwiches my whole life and I love them!
Absolutely. Reminds me of my next door neighbor back in Georgia. She always had a plate of ribs wrapped in tin foil from the barbecue saved for me. Miss you Mrs LaRue
You need to just interview the bald guy. He is very knowledgeable and personable.
If you toss the two young guys, you've got a good panel. They just don't seem to fit.
Him and the very lovely older woman in the pink
Not
Is your panel southern? I would check the southern card on some of them.
I don't know. The Chinese lady had a good Southern accent.
The two young people are questionable and the Jean jacket is very sweet, bless his heart but not southern.
The young, white dude in the denim jacket... definitely has me wondering where he's really from. Did his folks just TRY to make sure that they distanced themselves from Southern cooking, habits, and culture?
@@AlbredaWelde I've lived here (in TN) all my life and never eaten these weird combinations of stuff, nor have I heard of people eating majority of these things. I was actually expecting even more weird gross crap like livers, gizzards, chitlins, or more general statements about food such as meat and fat in almost all of the veggies.
@@kaylawaters2691 I'm from East TN and my dad ate cornbread and milk growing up. My husband is also from East TN and ate that and peanuts with coke. My family has pretty much tried everything on the list besides banana/mayo sandwiches, pepper jelly, alligator, and chocolate gravy
The guy in the denim jacket might be a northern southerner. He might have been raised in the south by northern parents.
The old-timer needs a spin-off!
There's no better southern sandwich in the summer than one with with Blue Plate Mayo, a fresh tomato, and a little black pepper!!! 👍🏻
I don't know that brand, but if it's close to Duke's mayo ...lol
Was gonna say, dukes is the ONLY mayonnaise.
Tomato sandwhiches are my go to far my summer lunch.
Blue Plate, cheap white bread and you gotta eat it over the kitchen sink!
I love tomato sandwiches, but if I eat them with mayo it’s Duke’s. I generally eat them with mustard though and salt (no pepper). We used to bring tomatoes inside after picking them, wash them in the sink and eat the like an apple with salt. But I eat salt on apples too.
Peanuts and cola...R.C. Cola with peanuts. Take a good swig of the cola. Pour the peanuts in the ice cold R.C. the best sweet salty I've ever had. If you don't know R.C Cola you just ain't had real cola, bless your heart. 😘
Bahahaha. You gave 'em the "bless your heart". 😂😂😂
... and chase that with a Moon Pie
anye76 peanuts and Dr Pepper
anye76 you got me with a good swig !! We say that all of the time, “ I need a good swig of coke “. Haha I don’t care for peanuts in mine though. My brother and I were sharing a coke when we were kids and I didn’t know that he dumped a bunch of peanuts in the coke. I took a swallow and spit it all over the back of the driver’s seat. He got to have the rest of it by himself.
hey hey hey now! Watch yer language. This is how we start those fights where Papa winds up smashing the table.
"I don't want no Bambi"....I had to stop the video to catch my breath.
Yes, someone has told me about them eating banana and mayonnaise sandwiches growing up in the South.
Black eyed peas and chow chow. All homegrown is my favorite
I"m more into pinto beans, but I hear you! Add a good chunk of white onion, and we're talking!
I bet the youngens in that video ain't never heard of chow chow.
@@killersopinion1829 Most likely. It's hard to find these days, but man! What a combination! In the spicy category, most have only heard of pepper sauce or hot sauce. Chow chow is a complete mystery.
Oh yum! Now you got my mouth watering!!
I remember my grandmother making chow chow.
Dear miss sweet black lady, can you be my grandma🙂
I love everyone on this but I have a special love for the elder lady in the pink dress especially when she says "ooh child" and the I love man in the College tshirt - both super funny! 🙌🏼💜
Dang I’m AL born and bred, still here. I love banana and Mayo sandwiches. As I do tomato and Mayo sandwiches (these with salt and pepper), I guess we are weird then. It’s so good. I’m surprised more people here aren’t saying they like it. I guess there’s a taste for everyone! Dang, ima go make one now….
The realest statement I've ever heard: "If it started off deer, it's going to end up deer." 💯😂💜
Exactly!
Forget eating Southern food, does that one kid in the jean jacket eat food, at all? He seemed like he'd never heard of these food words, let alone traditional meals, :P
U GOT it!
he don’t look like he eats much.
Except EVERYONE eats cornbread and milk. He must have done too many buzzfeed quizzes before this
Daniel Davis amen. See my comment on the matter.
Probably eats sushi alot 😁
I seriously need more of these educational videos about the south. Please keep 'em coming
Man y'all are preaching. I haven't had deer 🦌 before but I am willing to try it. Along with pepper jelly.
Has that young black man even been to the south? He sounded like a secret northerner! 😂
He came for college and stayed for the weather.
Definitely a city boy.
Same for the young white guy. I don't think either one is a true southerner. Revoke their southern cards NOW!
Sho did
@@janpenland3686 they must live in Austin
Yes, southerns eat Alligator! Mostly lower Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Louisiana
How does it taste?
LA existed as lower alabama before L.A. was even thought of 😉
@@chetankhope4348 Tastes like chicken
@@chetankhope4348 Taste just like chicken, if you haven't ever had it i would recommend it a thousand times.
chetan khope it has the same texture as chicken with a fish flavor like catfish almost.
I grew up eating mayo and banana sandwiches! ( NC, GA and VA is were my family is from.) I agree with the lady that said it differs from county to county /state to state at times! ❤️
Chocolate gravy was a staple in my college cafeteria in Arkansas. And pepper jellies always sold out so fast at the farmer's market. Deer was like a third of the meat in my house growing up. Dad killed it, we processed it at home. If you grind it up, it loses the gamey flavor. We used it in chili and spaghetti and my dad would make jerky with it for Christmas.
Asian chick is more southern then y"all!! Bless y'alls heart
Well her ethnicity has nothing to do with it. If she was born and raised in the south she is a southerner.
@@BlueBabyAkaAj i agree
Uh... Probably because she was born and raised in the south... 🤷 wth does her being ethnic have to do with anything? That was a ignorant ass comment.
Nobody cares about her race put it back in the deck
I actually grew up eating banana and mayo sandwiches. It's actually pretty good because you have the sweetness of the banana and a bit of vinegary mayo that taste good when combined.
Here, in Oregon, a lot of ppl who live beyond the city limits tend to have a freezer full of venison (deer meat).
Buttermilk and bread! Brings back memories with my Momma when she was way younger, and we’d sit and enjoy that while watching a TV show. 😁
As a "Yankee" I can say: pepper jelly is amazing, I have eaten a lot of deer (seems more like a hunter thing than a southern thing), fried green tomatoes are great, gator is good it taste like chicken that is from the ocean, and I'll go crazy for some cornbread and milk. I've never tried the banana and mayonnaise sandwich or chocolate gravy but I would if it were around.
Some of the ones I think they missed:
Okra
Crawfish/crayfish
Pork cracklings
Chitlins
Yeah okrah.
Louisiana man here:
It’s definitely crawfish. Never ever ever are they called crayfish
@@avapepp I always called em crawfish, but most people in the north said "cray". I used to spend a lot of time on a river and would often catch and cook them, little melted butter. It's better than lobster.
@Bolo. Yes, more a hunter thing or generational thing.
Hunny, you sure you a yankee? I've met southerners that ain't as southern as you seem to be!
I'm 67 years old Alabama born and bred and I can tell you YES we Southerners do eat ALL those things. I never heard it called "chocolate grave" until recently...we always called in "cocoa syrup". It was a Christmas Eve tradition at my parent's house.
Oh cocoa syrup, well duh, no wonder I didn't know what they were talking about, ....never heard it called "gravy", lol.
I’ve only seen chocolate gravy in Oklahoma. Try as they might, Oklahoma may claim to be Southern, but *they are not*!
Had chocolate gravy this morning for breakfast. Grew up in Nashville I'm in north Alabama now had it all my life.
Cocoa syrup? Uhm, I've never heard of it, and from a long line of southern people. What is it exactly and how's it made? I had white cream gravy on chocolate cake with my uncle once as a little girl. It was really great, but I've not had the nerve to try it again.
I, too, am from Alabama and we called it Chocolate Gravy and it was always for breakfast over biscuits. I’ve never heard of Cocoa gravy. So I guess even in Alabama people call things differently. It was more of a Central to Northern Alabama thing. When I was adopted into a family in SE Alabama, they had never heard of it.
I am from Jackson, MS and my mom always made cornbread and milk. I have tried the buttermilk and cornbread, it was alright, but my family just does regular milk with warm cornbread and some sugar. Best thing in the world!
Pink-dress lady, pink-blouse lady, and the college-shirt guy. I loved their input, 'cause their accents are more pronounced.....
The guy in the jean jacket---is he even Southern? I mean really!
He's parents are probably from California.
yes coke & peanuts hits different!! especially the cokes in a glass bottle 🤤
HAS to be a glass bottle. Not plastic. Not a can. Not in a regular glass or cup. A glass bottle.
@@aaronpitts5127 R I G H T!
Exactly only since they messed with the formula it don't quite fizz properly 😓
Chocolate Gravy is awesome. My mom who's from Kansas made it while growing up in Oklahoma. Absolutely love it. I introduced my wife from CA to it and now she's hooked. And I totally agree that the guy in the jean jacket is a spy from the north.
I have my Southern Baptist Great-grandmother's recipe for chocolate gravy. Its was a treat everytime we visited
My family has been in the south for years. Banana and mayo sandwiches are eaten all the time.
Mine also. Had one just yesterday. Never ever saw anyone actually use peanut butter on a banana sandwich
On white bread! Yes, ma'am!
@@chriscox6598 There's an art to it. Smooth peanut butter on one side, sliced banana on top, and the mayo on the other piece of bread. Like he said, keeps the peanut butter from sticking to the roof of your mouth.
Is this a situation where you can't sub in miracle whip?
Been known to mix nanners, p-nut butter and DUKES together on light bread.
Is the guy in the jean shirt really Southern? He doesn't seem to know any of these delicacies. Yum except for the mayo and bananas.
right? I wondered where they came from. Some don't seem a bit southern.
That kid has to be from Florida, because he doesn't know what the hell is going on.
I KNOW RIGHT! HE AINT SOUTHERN
@@ErinCollins2 nope! I believe he's from Missouri or Mississippi. They showed it in a previous video
He got lost he is in the wrong video lol
I agree with the Asian lady on pretty much everything, this was so fun to watch! It's so relatable!
My grandma makes pepper jelly every year for Christmas, it’s soooo good!!!
Okay... so I have lived all of my life in the South. Chocolate gravy? One of the best most Southern things ever!
yep! I had a person supposedly raised in NC tell me she'd never heard of it and no way was it a real southern dish.
Is it the same as redeye gravy?
@@diorocksmetalon5993 oh no. Chocolate gravy is like regular gravy but with cocoa powder and sugar
They still serve chocolate gravy at the schools back home for gravy
Born and raised Southerner here, Banana Sandwiches are good.
I love a banana n mayo sandwich with a sprinkle of sugar!!
Yesss they are.
My dad skips the bread sometimes 😂
Thank you
Yeah they are 😁
@JustTryMe 2019 same!
There’s this awesome place in Pelham, AL called Delta Blues that serve alligator and so many delicious southern dishes.
Never had peanuts in Coke. RC Cola goes with peanuts.
They still make RC? Whoa...
Yup, they still make it. My hometown, Chattanooga, is the headquarters for RC. We drink it while eating warmed Moonpies (also a Chattanooga thang).
@@jenweiss2464 Eating sweets and finishing it off with a sweet drink may be overkill.
Coke is for BC powder.
When you're poor, cornbread is a breakfast cereal. Regularly
VERY regular!
My mom was from Illinois and my dad mostly grew up in Oklahoma. Both sides of the family fixed a lot of those except for the chocolate gravy and the alligator. Cornbread in milk (we use sweet milk instead of buttermilk) really *is* a thing and so is popcorn in milk. Yes, it's savory and not sweet. To this day my niece, who is in her 40's gags at even the thought of popcorn or cornbread in milk. We *know* she wasn't switched in the hospital because she looks entirely too much like the rest of the women in the family, but somehow she doesn't like our food. In fact, at her high school graduation party one of her girlfriends saw all of us women in the family-including my grandma, aunt, mom, sister, and I along with my niece and told her, "I can certainly tell which women are from your family! You all do have a strong family resemblance!"
My dad would eat his with buttermilk, I eat mine with regular milk. Any kind of dark coke “soda” either coke, Dr Pepper or RC and it has to be Spanish peanuts.
Too much work, just get grits
@Jessica B. I would never eat cheese
“Let me tell you something” love that
My daughter does everything with ground venison, it's one of her favorites.
Alligator cheesecake is one of my favorite appetizers! And I had a banana and mayo sandwich two or three days ago. 😂
I looked up the recipe of chocolate gravy , and we eat this A LOT in Brazil ( at least in my state ) .. is that really weird ?
It’s soo good ! 🥰😋
Love from Brazil 🇧🇷
Just shows you got true Southern kinfolks!
I've never had it but I'm heard it's good
@@totallycrazystudios1801 Try it. You'll LIKE it!
@@lewiemcneely9143
Maybe when I get a chance
@@lewiemcneely9143
Thank you for the recommendation
North Carolinian here and I have had all of these items. My Dad used to eat 'Naner Sanmiches all the time for lunch. I'm not a fan of peanuts but I've definitely tried the them with Coke.
Now you need to do one about Southern deserts. Please and thank you.
We went to a gator safari or swamp tour on Louisiana.
They did serve gator in their cafe…..I couldn’t. My sister and dad….they gobbled it.
Wait, who DOESN'T eat deer? Vegetarians/vegans don't count for this question.
Norman Fair What we say up here in Michigan is: Vegan is Latin for Bad Hunter!
Deer is not an inherently southern thing, people deer hunt up north too, maybe even more than in the South. Deer is country, not Southern. And I love it! The best, leanest, cleanest meat there is, much better for you than beef actually. If its “Gamey”, then you aren’t preparing it right.
Alligator is a regional thing, it’s only popular where alligators live, Florida and Louisiana, mostly. And it is good! Sweat meat, the texture of chicken. I’ve had rattlesnake too, but I guess that’s a western thing? And it was awesome! So good, that if I see a rattlesnake, I’m coming for it!
@@alphagt62 I used to love deer. I was cooking it when I was pregnant in the 1980's. The smell made me sick. I have not been able to eat it since and I have tried many times. I miss deer meat. Especially back strap. =(
I don’t. It’s gross to me. I can’t believe no one had chocolate gravy! It’s so good!
@@alphagt62 I'm in the southwest, and I have yet to find a way to eat rattlesnake that isn't gross. Tried it cooked over a fire, fried, oven roasted, in a crock pot, and steamed... I eat weird stuff all the time, but I have given up on rattlesnake.
I love the older black lady, she’s amazing
My grandma used 2 make jalapeño jelly & Vidalia onion jelly both.. Haven't thought about that in years!😭❤
I also like Cracklin cornbread and buttermilk, ooh, it's so good. Sandra
Okay, I’m from Georgia and my entire family has lived in GA forever, so I can say that some of these people don’t seem like southerners at all! Lol The younger guys didn’t know anything about this stuff! A lot of stuff like pepper jelly and cornbread w/ milk, I don’t eat personally, but it’s so common that I know about it all. Also, the older lady was HILARIOUS 😂
And Pepper jelly isn’t even Southern. I’m from SE Alabama, but I live in WA State now and pepper jelly is here too and it was in Maine when I lived there and even Alaska too.
I keep saying this. I don't know who that one lady is, but I'd pay to see her in a video with Ms Brenda.
for real !
The sweet senior black woman? She seems real delightful and I would like to see more of her, yes.
@@jaklumen yes! She has so much spunk and personality. The others had just about the same amount of personality as a turd on the sidewalk.
@@jaklumen I'd love to come over to her house have her fix me up a good southern meal . She'd probably have some good stories to tell too.
When they said do southerners eat deer it brought me straight back to my childhood when I would go to my friend’s house and his grandfather would’ve made fresh venison jerky. God do I miss that it was sooo goood.
I have added many things to my "To Try" list. Starting the cornbread RIGHT NOW. Basically, everything but the bananas and mayonnaise.
Y'all didn't pick the right Southerners because almost everybody I know that live in the south love Deer meat
Yep
NO NO I live in the south and it's nasty.
@@JennyWinters that's ok. I'm sure you like to eat stuff I don't like
It depends on how it’s made if I like it or not that guy with the collage shirt is right my aunt mom and grandmother hate it
Ikr
I was born in Alabama, raised near Pensacola and now live in Tx. I eat all of it, corn bread with regular milk and Miracle whip on the peanut nut butter and bananas. I love gator!! I love all the items mentioned. LoL.
Banana & mayo or PB is delish either way! My Granny used to make me biscuits & chocolate gravy for breakfast, wonderful! Pepper jelly is great with cream cheese. Fried green tomato’s are great anytime! We will fry anything that doesn’t fry us first! I love fried alligator tail. My daddy & uncle & bestie always ate cornbread & buttermilk but not me. ( Alabama born & raised)
Bananas and mayonnaise are awesome! My daddy used to dip the banana straight into the Kraft mayonnaise jar. I also eat pineapple and mayonnaise sandwiches.
Surprise! Not all southerners are the same. They're all beautiful individuals with their own individual southern tastes ❤❤
Edit: us in the north also eat deer. My brother in law does his share of hunting
Midwest or like Washington cuz midwest makes sense
Rural North is much closer to the South than Urban North. Go an hour North of NYC and it is God, Guns, and Trump. And a big hunting culture to boot.
In Utah deer hunting is as big as NASCAR is in the South.
Thanks. These comments are...unpleasant.
Oh I know Michigan has a lot of deer
I was raised a coastal child in the south. Things I cannot bring myself to try are pigs feet, cow tongue and pickled eggs, but everytime I see an alligator? Aw man. I just think dinner has arrived. Battered and fried alligator with dip. Yah baby. Fried green tomato would go well with it as well as a sweet lemon tea. I can pretty much eat anything out of the sea. Deer isn't the only thing we like. Try squirrel, crawfish, chocolate covered crickets or frogs legs in a pinch. Woo! Yes cornbread and milk is definitely a thing here in Texas. One thing I know for sure that mostly guys like down here? Is hot sauce. On everything.
1. I love gator.
2. My sister said she went with my mom and aunt back to their hometown, and on the way back, my mom had them turn down an unmarked street, went a few blocks down, and went into a store with no name posted. She came out with a single pig's foot in a napkin and asked everyone if they wanted some. My sister said she declined.
Girl, I hear ya. I was raised in a small Southern coastal town myself as well. I get you on every level.
I damn sure do put hot sauce on everything. I've put hot sauce on ice cream. Not joking.
Pickled eggs come in a wide array of flavors and ingredients. I cannot stand the eggs done in beet juice. While working on a contract in Long Beach, CA, some co-workers took me to this place called Joe Josts. They bought me the Joe's special sandwich ( rye bread, polish sausage slit down the length with pickle slice put into the slit, yellow mustard and swiss cheese), two pickled eggs and a cold schooner of beer. The beer was Eastside Old Tap Lager and not too bad. The eggs were served with pretzel sticks and I didn't really want one. The guys needled me into taking a bite. The heavens opened and angels sang it was that good. I have been an acolyte spreading the word ever since. I got a Xerox of a newspaper article claiming to be their recipe. I have used it for nearly 50 years. I had two for breakfast. Our cleaning lady saw the jar and snagged two for lunch. Go to their website and get a feel for the place. They have been in business since 1924. Doing something right. If you want I can make the recipe available to you. :-)
@@wilhard45 Almost like a reuben.
I am soooo in love with the older black lady. Everything about her is just so wonderful and authentic and sassy and warm. I just wish she was my granny or auntie or something and give me lots of hugs and call me "child" and also talks some sense into me. Like I would love to have a big southern family. Although as I understand (mostly from your sketches caze I'm Russian who been living in NY for most of my life at this point so a definite yank and the only south I've been to is Florida haha) ya'll are a bit TOO much in other people's business hahah I DO love my privacy. But I also miss having a family. And she just feels like family.
I am from Pennsylvania and I love pepper jelly!! We make a dip layer cream cheese and top with pepper jelly. Get some crackers and spread some on. Yum! I lived in South Carolina for 2 years, one of best 2 years of my life. LOVE Fried green tomatoes also!! I am going to try a banana mayonnaise sandwich next.
