10:30 Sweet Grits was something that my family did to get kids to eat grits at an early age. However, as we grew older, mom would switch it up to cheese grits and eventually it got around to just butter, salt & pepper. I’m from Virginia which is considered a part of the South. But VA is so close to that Mason-Dixon Line it doesn’t feel like we are a Southern state in the big VA cities. Now if you go to rural parts of VA - oh yes….it is plenty Country. 😂
What I love about seeing a lot of British youtubers. Try American dishes from all over our country. It gives them an appreciation for what we have and the differences in terms of dishes. Now I've had AA full english breakfast. They use a lot of beings and things like that, but I never knock anybody's food culture. But I'm, I get a kick out of seeing the brits. I react to when they try foods from all different regions. Because we're so diverse in this country. Everything just works. Food is definitely something that can bring us together
I'm from TN and can make a meal out of a baked sweet potato with butter and brown sugar. Sweet potato fries with brown sugar is the best if done right.
I love collards when done correctly. Quick story about collards, I have two times in my life where the thoughts in my head after food was done wrong would have put me in jail if I did them. The first time was finding fish scales in my white rice. I'm Filipino on my mom's side. Ask a Filipino what they would do if someone ruined rice on purpose then sold it to them. The second time was this supposed barbeque place made collards and I got a mouth full of dirt, they were worse than canned spinach with how overdone they were, and the only thing I tasted was salt completely ruining the pot liquor it was served in. Lucky for that place I was at work and couldn't leave because there were words about to be said. I am from MS and my dad's family were sharecroppers from Washington Parish. Before anyone makes an assumption about what that means, my daddy is so white if I threw flour on him he would get darker. I was in a mood for over a week or 100. Come to find out the person that owned this place was from NYC. Let's just say the fella most likely learned how to cook Southern food from someone that smelled like brimstone. By the time I calmed down enough to say something without my mouth getting me in trouble the place had shutdown and I feel no guilt for feeling happy about that.
I make pecan chicken at home and it is amazing! Particularly when combined with creole seasoning. What I do is rub my chicken with creole seasoning, then dip in egg, then into a breading of ground pecans.
This is reminding me of why I need to find good recipes or replacements I can use outside of the South.... It's not often I run into someone who knows the good stuff. I have however made sausage gravy on my own before. One of the best things I ever had. Side note: I don't like shoving my fried chicken down my throat. I love savoring mine.
Have you 2 tried batter fries. That is potato's cut into wedges and dipped in batter, either a wet batter or dip tater in egg and seasoned flour then deep fried. I cook it all the time, and I cook an okra with tomatoes and shrimp to be put on rice.
From Colorado sweet potato fries are really good with some brown sugar on them. When it comes to grits in the mornings i love them with sugar and butter than rest of day gotta go savory flavors. There’s a Jamaican truck that does a jerk shrimp and grits and omg the seasoning is heavenly on the grits.
I think one of them said that the sweet potatoes they have in England are very small in comparison to the American ones. That's probably why they've not had them as fries or as a "jacket"/baked potato. But I wonder, how small are they and why? I've seen some monster sweet potatoes at the store here in Ottawa, Canada.
Yeah the sweet potato that was on their plate looked like it was on the smaller side to me! I've seen some massive sweet potatoes, so it makes me wonder how small British sweet potatoes could be?
UK here.. It's only the sweet potatoes that are bought in 1kg bags from supermarkets that are on smaller side, the ones from fruit and veg shop are bigger than my head😂! I think the supermarkets do it so it looks like your getting more😊
@@jmillar71110 Maybe . Now I wonder, if bigger sweet potatoes are available, why aren't sweet potato fries more popular? How are sweet potatoes usually prepared in the UK?
@@VeryCherryCherry usually as a baked potato, fries or in a soup. All supermarkets even sell sweet potato fries already preprepared. Believe me when I say these guys are in a bubble lol, they make out like all we eat is bland and unseasoned food. Couldn't be further from the truth lol. Our national dish is a curry lol.
Love some baked sweet potatoes in Georgia. ❤ put brown sugar, butter, marshmallows, pecans and caramel on top if you want it "loaded"😉 swwet potato fries are "ok".
Well, as far as Georgia restaurants serving a lot of meals with something that had peaches in it, that might be because of the fact that peaches is the biggest thing that Georgia is known for, especially since Georgia is referred to as "The Peachtree State"
I’m from the east coast. We like to serve collard greens with vinegar. Some people will cook them with lemon instead of serving them with vinegar When I moved to the gulf coast I learned that greens with vinegar was not a thing The sweet potato fries is a kind of bougie thing & this restaurant is a bit on the bougie side I have questions about Josh’s taste buds & sense of smell. He’s always tasting & smelling cheese where there is none I like fried pickles. I didn’t have them until I moved to Texas
Sweet potato fries are pretty popular in North Carolina. I’d be hard pressed outside of a fast food restaurant to not see them on a menu. They are ok , in my opinion, I don’t really seek them out myself.
I’m from Lafayette Louisiana. For grits I can do basic which is a dash of salt & pepper and a dab of butter. If I want to fancy it up I do one fried egg (white firm but yolk runny) on top and stir it in. Exwife was from Arkansas and she put sugar in her grits. Not for me. A big breakfast would be 2 eggs, bacon, grits, and toast.
That's how I had it my whole childhood. Now I eat both savory and sweet types depending on my mood. Occasionally I make some spiced up grits when I pair it with shrimp.
When it comes to Catfish, I need to learn how to cook it. I keep catching them when fishing, I just have no idea how to filet and cook them. Especially being diabetic, fried foods have to be a rarity. So, I anyone has a good recipe for a Catfish dish that isn't fried, let me know. As for that Chicken. If I could find a recipe to make that...I would so love to do it (the peach barbecue one). Grits for me are a thing I never developed a taste for. I have texture issues and eating something that feels like I have a mouthful of sand just doesn't work for me. Collards I have never had. I don't trust myself to make them without someone who knows what they are doing to show me how to do it right. (No bitterness and correct texture and taste).

Sweet potatoes are very common to see in a variety of cooking styles in VA, NC. SC, and GA. I always thought it was the same in all southern states 😂😂

Hi from Alabama every mother grandmother and aunt makes cooks collards slightly different and I love all of it.
Here in Northwest Georgia, put butter, salt, and pepper in our grits

My mother and father was from Georgia, different parts. Sugar and butter in our grits no cheese!
I cookm in a bar and fried pickles are a big seller as well as cheese curds

WHAT? Fried pickles are delicious. I have had them in Louisiana many times, and other cities as well!!
finally, thanks!!! btw, Jolly tried fried Oreos in Texas, can't remember if they have fried pickles though. just search Jolly fried Oreos.
Oh! That was the rodeo one!
This is fried chicken and sides from Savannah, Georgia!!!! Doesn’t get much better!!!!
Sweet potato fries are a game changer. Seriously.
lol they thought gravy was cheese sauce? thats wild. his wife is supposedly a world renown chef.
Grits with butter and sugar is so good.
"Collards"cooked with emon?.I'm from Canada,and I even know better than to do that😂😂😂.that's what happens when eclectic get in the kitchen 😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂 We'll have to try it with lemon just to see if we like it.
I’m from the east coast. We like to serve collard greens with vinegar.

Collard greens shouldn't be bitter, but in the northern south they make then bitter.
my mawmaw made the worlds best fried chicken and collard greens. I wish she was here to make it again for all of us 🥲

Love some grits with a couple fried eggs and either bacon or smoked sausage.
I love my grits with cheese, salt and butter. Otherwise, I'll also do just butter and salt.
I’m from Texas and love cheesy shrimp and grits
Grits are ground up Hominy
I prefer turnip greens to collard greens. Collards tend to have a waxy and gritty texture to them that i just don’t like.
I put Sugar, butter and cinnamon on my grits
Oh you amped it up a notch lol

they forgot to eat the corn bread , corn bread is the best .
Pure oat grits. Nothing extra. Just like my mommy made it :-) Jummy!
You two should do a Soul Food Cooking Show. We’d watch! ❤
We have one. It’s a podcast where we share our recipes while sharing history.😊 youtube.com/@lifewithdem?si=YgismvkTyy5qhJPZ

Sweet potatoes are healthier than white potatoes and there is nothing like sweet potato fries
The only way to eat grits is with sugar and cheese and eggs
😂😂 Where are you from?
Fried pickles are the best
With a dill sauce to dip it in. The bests.
Pecan crusted chicken. Not candied, just covered in ground pecans
