Centuries of dominating the global spice market, and somehow none of it ever landed on any of their food. It's quite an amazing contradiction, their food and their history of spice trading.

True. We were working security at a PGA event and my friend told me that we need to keep this one player, kidnap him and fatten him up with our southern cooking (aka Fried everything). and we're in SC. But true anywhere in the south except maybe Florida which is really northerners who retire down here.
Thanks for sharing! We tried a few different BBQ places and all were very good while being different! We will upload the other videos as soon as possible
I went to Texas and Louisiana, some of the best food I've ever had, I think I gained about 15lbs and it was worth every single one! Then I moved to Pennsylvania (from the UK) and it was so different and not in a good way, the food in the north doesn't even compare to the food in the south, whatever incredible magic the south is doing to it's food, I wish it would move northwards!
I grew up in Texas. I took our good food for granted. I thought everyone knew what good BBQ, Tex-Mex and Southern foods in general was like. Then I started traveling around the country and realized every region of the USA has its own food traditions. Some were amazing. Some…… not so much. But I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for Texas BBQ, Tex-Mex and Southern food. It always makes me happy.
I reside just northwest of Houston, have several BBQ restaurants to choose from as well as the smoker in a parking lot (my favorite), Tex-Mex galore. Just a short drive is Tomball with two legendary “country kitchens”, Mel’s (just reopened after a catastrophic fire) and Goodson’s. Sprinkle in the Louisiana vittles post Katrina. Drive into Houston and you’ve arrived to the culinary capital of the U.S.A. Pick a cuisine you’ll find it.
Chicken too. Many places don't do it, but a properly done smoked thigh is a thing of wonder. Especially if you're a huge smoke fan. Easy to dry out, though, because the pieces are smaller than most other things, so you can tell if a place pays attention to it.
Seeker: I was born in Fla and ate BBQ my whole life. IN the central & deep South when you say BBQ you mean PORK. How is pork liked in Texas or other states that prefer Beef?
@@KindCountsDeb3773 I grew up in northwestern Pennsylvania; spending my summers in eastern Tennessee. In PA, we usually had a mixture of beef & pork at a BBQ. Beef & pork ribs, brisket, shredded pork, etc. In TN, I don't think that we had _any_ beef. It was all pork (ribs & shredded), & maybe some fried chicken or a deep fried turkey.
@@SeekerKC all sounds good doesn't it?? lol It's getting so expensive to buy bbq, but I do at times. Pork Babyback ribs smoked till it falls off the bone is favorite. With an Alabama sweet sauce. Love it ! 🤣🤣✌🏽✌🏽

@@ryankklein I always ask that they just try it without sauce first. I agree, I love a good bbq sauce, but like anything, there’s a time and place for it.
I was there in Austin travelling on vacation this past Tuesday just a few days after this was released. Never had true TX BBQ before. Not a single thing they said was an exaggeration. The food and the experience were divine. Definitely going back. TX was awesome and the people so friendly.
I was there in the fall for the first time, didn’t believe the hype until I tried it. Went to Franklins, not sure I would do it again because of the wait, but dang that was some of the best food I’ve ever had.
Texas has Beef BBQ and other Southern States have Pork BBQ too and sometimes it’s a hard time choosing. Not to mention it’s the first time I heard about the Turkey!

Banana Pudding is a holy sacrament in the South. If you need a written-down recipe, you are a beginner. I have 50 years of making it by how it looks and feels when stirring that dreamy custard. Still, I think I can improve it!
@@thebritstry that mouse-like dessert is what we call "pudding" here. It's a creamy flavored gelatin dessert, commonly in banana, vanilla or chocolate. We also have less common pudding flavors like pistachio, rice pudding, and tapioca pudding. As easy to make as fruit Jell-O 🙂
I ate at Terry Black’s last year. It was all incredible! One of the best things on the menu they didn’t try, the creamed corn. I don’t know how they make it, but it’s ambrosia, the food of the gods, truly.
In point of fact, Terry and Nicola do not have an accent. They, being British, are speaking the mother tongue in its native form. We Americans are the ones with the accent. However, if a sufficient quantity of Texas brisket is applied to the tongue, we will send them home with a distinct Texas Southern twang.
It fills my heart with joy to see our cousins across the pond enjoying our food and time together in the US. So very happy you two came to visit. I hope your trip and future travels are just as amazing as your food in this video.
When I went to Houston TX in 1988 that was the best brisket I ever had. When Nicola talked about the dry turkey in the UK I busted out laughing 'cause I've been there and ate it - she ain't lying lol.
Having lived in San Antonio Texas for 4 years, I can honestly say that barbecue in Texas is king. Each smokehouse has their own flavor and they're All unique and delicious. It's best enjoyed without barbecue sauce. God bless Texas 🤠
Both of you are so charming, I have loved getting to be a guest in your tour of American cuisine! As an American married to a Brit, I had the same experiences introducing her to Southern bbq and sides when we lived there years ago. Now that we've moved back to the UK with our daughter, I try to emulate what I can to keep us connected to that slice of American culture. Getting to watch and show the two of you enjoying these foods so much provides a wonderful reinforcement to that link! From an American in Cambridge, thank you so much! ❤
Now you know why Texans are so happy. We are surrounded by bbq, southern food, and Tex Mex. Do keep in mind that it’s about to be summer in the south. That means it is going to start getting to 100 degrees and hotter. If you plan on making visits to the south over the summer, plan accordingly. If you’re not used to the heat, it can hit you hard.
I'm in Houston we have that and so much more. All of the Cajun and Creole food from Louisiana. All of the Gulf Coast seafood. Tons of international food. We have a Pho shop on every corner. We even have hybrids like Viet-Cajun. Viet-Cajun crawfish will change your world.
I know right. I saw a cool documentary about a place in Japan doing texas bbq and texans went there to rate it and it was legit. The locals love it. I find it all so fascinating how good food is good food all over the world.
There have been a lot of videos lately of people from foreign lands trying Texas BBQ. I love them all. These videos make me thankful that I am lucky enough to be a native Texan.
We are so lucky to live in the US, because of our unlimited food options. I love it when foreigners talk badly about American cuisine, and then have a chance to try it in person, Then, they usually say, WOW or OMG, is this good.
@@DaveBrazda-b4f They don't realize that our "cuisine" is ALL theirs, from around the world, combined together! And in some cases done better, merged with other cultures'. Plus our own. I live in a small rural community, but in a 40 minute drive I can have more or less authentic food from like 20 countries!
That's a bit condescending. England is quite small compared to the US, and they have a long rich history which they've held onto preserving. In the US we're all about progress-- not tradition. Our progress touches everything from politics to religion to cuisine.
Central Texas has long had large Czech, Polish, and German communities, which means the sausage game here is on point. Elgin sausage (like they eat in the vid) is world class stuff
From a former Fort Worthite. You can’t get any better! Good peach cobbler isn’t too sweet and the cobbler is supposed to be just as you are tasting! Blacks nails all their delights!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
It's a great find when you come across food that makes you both laugh and cry. Most people think I'm strange for that. I feel for them that they don't experience that.
for 19 minutes and 58 glorious seconds, Andrew and Nicola were American, happy to have y'all, come back anytime. Also, what Nicola said about not using the BBQ sauce warmed my heart. Good Beef BBQ doesn't need sauce. Pork, Chicken, and Turkey can get sauce, Beef should stand on its own. And on a further side note, you can judge a BBQ place by their Banana pudding. If you order banana pudding somewhere and it is Banana flavored pudding, don't ever return.
You're right... but a really good sauce is another art form. You wouldn't want to just eat it with a spoon like soup, so putting a little on the BBQ can be an excuse just to taste the sauce. A lot of us had mothers that would make banana pudding at home. I remember having it often on Sunday evenings, when the Wonderful World of Disney was on television. But as good as that was, it never quite compared to banana pudding at a BBQ joint.
So, are y'all ready to move to Texas yet? I love that you ate it without barbeque sauce. If it's good, it doesn't need it. The sauce is for when you have chopped brisket sandwiches usually. I think that Terry Black's seasoning is just a pure salt and pepper. The rest is good wood smoke. I have to tell you, I moved to Texas from California a long time ago and when I tasted brisket for the first time it blew my mind. How can anything so simple be so delicious? The rest of the food there is really good too. The potato salad isn't too heavy and mayo forward, And the banana pudding...OMG. I'd stand in line at 6am (and have) for Terry Black's. The next time that you're in Texas, please come down South of Houston. We're famous for the Tex-Mex, mesquite brisket and seafood. You haven't lived until you've had char grilled oysters on the half shell with garlic, butter and Parmesan cheese on them. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you for sharing your Texas experience and food recommendations. We had a great time in Austin and really enjoyed it! We did try some Tex-Mex and will upload the video as soon as possible. Thanks for watching
I live on the coast of Texas! As a young kid, we ate alot of seafood. Gumbo, fred fish and shrimp, boiled shrimp an crabs, oysters. We caught everything we ate our self! And my mom opened up a barbecue place in the 70s! With a secret family barbecue sauce! But I'm like y'all, I like my meat without the sauce. Family get-togethers was always barbecue! But Tex-Mex maybe my favorite. We also ate a lot of what is called nowadays soul food. But it was just country cooking back then! We was raised up poor, but turn out we ate like rich people! Lol
I feel ya. Born/raised in Florida where we got a lot of our seafood. Even scallops, blue crab and crayfish (lobster size salt water ones but No claw). I moved and miss Florida and it's abundance.
After a long hard day of work….at home….on my day off. Watching yall enjoy this meal made my day 😂. The look on y’all’s faces when you had the Turkey…priceless.
I love watching people from different cultures and countries enjoying each other's food. I truly believe a good meal can help settle any difference and/or deal. Good food is one of the highlights in this life.😊
@@thebritstry You should try smoked chicken here sometime, too. Amazing most times, it can really take on the smoke if you're up to it. It's a good test of a place.
That's funny. I've got 2 racks of beef short ribs in the fridge ready for the smoker in the morning. Glad ya'll liked our grub. And a general rule of thumb. If central texas bbq is done right. Sauce is not needed. So you guys are spot on there.
As someone that grew up in nyc I had an opportunity to live in Texas for 2 1/2 months a few years ago for work I still wake up dreaming of one day moving there permanently. The people, the culture the food and a feeling of belonging…
The speakers are discussing two banana pudding desserts they had at a restaurant or cafe. They both agree that the desserts are "outstanding" and can't choose between them, suggesting that it's a matter of personal preference. One speaker mentions trying some cream on top of one of the puddings, which is described as like mousse. They discuss the texture and composition of the dessert, with one speaker mentioning that they don't see any chunks of banana in their pudding, unlike previous ones they've had. Another speaker comments on the smoothness of the banana flavor in this particular dessert. The conversation concludes with a lighthearted comment about needing to "nap" off all the food they just consumed and doing extra gym work tomorrow to compensate for the calories.
You two are so cute together!! Keep up the Amazing job!! I'd love for you guys to find a place that has 'Lava Cake' and Ice Cream...I think Andrew would move Banana Pudding down to his Top 8
banana pudding is THE dessert of the south. It's what holiday dinners at grandma's house is made of. lava cakes you can get delivered from dominos. not remotely in the same realm of dessert.
When you got the tour of the smokers, and the Pitmaster opened the doors, the Heavens opened up. Rays of sunshine and rainbows shown down on those briskets. They, indeed, are the true pot of gold! That is BBQ at its finest there is, right there! It don't get no better!
So, guys, Texans typically use a coarse salt and pepper rub (Dalmation rub) to coat the meat (brisket - breast cut of the cow) before smoking. It forms a crust called the bark. Salt penetrates the meat from this drying brining technique. Low and slow smoke and convection heat for a long time, and it comes out juicy and tender. Sometimes, they may squeeze in a little garlic powder. Happy eating. 😊😊
@@thebritstryIf you want to see some good videos of brisket prep an cooking, then you should check out Chud's BBQ channel. He is a pitmaster and actually builds smokers as well.
I'm thinking we may make Southerners out of you! 😂😂 you'll say "Hey y'all before you know it". Come to Alabama! Decatur Alabama to be specific. Big Bob Gibson's BBQ is award winning, Simp McGhees in the downtown historical district is amazing as well as the brand new 609 Market & Provisions. It is getting rave reviews. You'll love Alabama! It truly lives up to its name " Alabama The Beautiful" we KNOW how to do hospitality!
I remember cutting class at Calhoun and going to Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur for lunch. Their homemade pies are incredible. Chocolate, coconut, pecan, lemon meringue, etc. Their white sauce for chicken is very good. The white sauce recipe is online.
That Bama white sauce is a RELIGION down there. Personally, I consider myself the BBQ TRIFECTA-got family in Bama and Texas, and I live in North Carolina. Y’all need to come to North Carolina. Our Eastern and Western pork BBQ is world-class!
Why, why I knew better, I heard TerryBlacksBarrfbecue and I had to sit and watch. I'm in a trance now I can't move. I wanted to fall over and collapse at every bite. To share such a meal with your love. Does it get any better? Yes, peach cobbler and ice cream🎙
I don't watch these very often but you as a pair were GREAT and it was easy to see (even if the sound was off) how much you were enjoying your BBQ. Thank you both for a GREAT video!
Its refreshing to see 2 ppl enjoying a cuisine like this the expressions on youre faces gived it away before you even try describe it so genuine ❤️. Now ill have to gry get there with a Friend now that i know how good it is.

Burnt ends are thing to order. It comes from the fattier part of the brisket, the point.
Eating the wet (fatty) brisket is akin to a religious experience
Everyyyyyyybody makes fun of Americans and how big we are around the middle. And then the world comes to Terry Black’s and goes, “ohhhhh, I see.” 😂

@@thebritstry that mouse-like dessert is what we call "pudding" here. It's a creamy flavored gelatin dessert, commonly in banana, vanilla or chocolate.
We also have less common pudding flavors like pistachio, rice pudding, and tapioca pudding.
As easy to make as fruit Jell-O 🙂
I ate at Terry Black’s last year. It was all incredible! One of the best things on the menu they didn’t try, the creamed corn. I don’t know how they make it, but it’s ambrosia, the food of the gods, truly.
They add a little cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s like Mexican street corn.
Those beef ribs could tip over the Flintstone's car !
I was disappointed they didn’t get any!
I could listen to her talk all day, wonderful accent. So much fun watching people enjoy something we take for granted.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
In point of fact, Terry and Nicola do not have an accent. They, being British, are speaking the mother tongue in its native form. We Americans are the ones with the accent. However, if a sufficient quantity of Texas brisket is applied to the tongue, we will send them home with a distinct Texas Southern twang.
It fills my heart with joy to see our cousins across the pond enjoying our food and time together in the US. So very happy you two came to visit. I hope your trip and future travels are just as amazing as your food in this video.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching our video!
Hard to beat Award Winning BBQ followed by traditional Southern style desserts. Safe Travels You Two.
Award-winning BBQ followed by Southern desserts? That's a winning combination for sure!
When I went to Houston TX in 1988 that was the best brisket I ever had. When Nicola talked about the dry turkey in the UK I busted out laughing 'cause I've been there and ate it - she ain't lying lol.
Lol! We still have nightmares about dry turkey. The brisket was amazing.
But to be fair, turkey can be dry in any country, it just depends on who's cooking it. lol 🦃

Having lived in San Antonio Texas for 4 years, I can honestly say that barbecue in Texas is king. Each smokehouse has their own flavor and they're All unique and delicious. It's best enjoyed without barbecue sauce. God bless Texas 🤠
I was there when 2M opened. Awesome times :)
Nothing like Texas BBQ. Y'ALL come back now Texas ❤
11:22 - That ONE beef rib cost $88.75. Just think about that for a minute........Most Texas BBQ is so ridiculously OVER PRICED it is unreal......
Im extremely proud that you didn't throw bbq sauce on that wonderful bbq! Good bbq doesn't need it. Glad the two of you enjoyed the food.
Thank you! it was so juicy and delicious! It didn't need the sauce.
Both of you are so charming, I have loved getting to be a guest in your tour of American cuisine! As an American married to a Brit, I had the same experiences introducing her to Southern bbq and sides when we lived there years ago. Now that we've moved back to the UK with our daughter, I try to emulate what I can to keep us connected to that slice of American culture. Getting to watch and show the two of you enjoying these foods so much provides a wonderful reinforcement to that link! From an American in Cambridge, thank you so much! ❤
Keep BBQ-ing bro!
"Do you know what we can do? Beans on toast!" Love it.
😂 Thank you for watching
Now you know why Texans are so happy. We are surrounded by bbq, southern food, and Tex Mex.
Do keep in mind that it’s about to be summer in the south. That means it is going to start getting to 100 degrees and hotter. If you plan on making visits to the south over the summer, plan accordingly. If you’re not used to the heat, it can hit you hard.
Thanks for the advice! We didn't consider the temperatures in the summer.
@@thebritstryit’s not just the heat, it’s the 100% humidity. It makes the air feel thick.
Tex Mex is the sleeper. 🔥🔥
You forgot Cajun for us Texans that live on the Louisiana border.
I'm in Houston we have that and so much more. All of the Cajun and Creole food from Louisiana. All of the Gulf Coast seafood. Tons of international food. We have a Pho shop on every corner. We even have hybrids like Viet-Cajun. Viet-Cajun crawfish will change your world.
Can you imagine a Texas BBQ opening around London? People would go nuts
Terry Black's - Ruining food for people from other countries is what they do...
I know right. I saw a cool documentary about a place in Japan doing texas bbq and texans went there to rate it and it was legit. The locals love it. I find it all so fascinating how good food is good food all over the world.
There have been a lot of videos lately of people from foreign lands trying Texas BBQ. I love them all. These videos make me thankful that I am lucky enough to be a native Texan.
As a Texan it warmed my heart for y'all to enjoy our BBQ style. Cheers!
Peach cobbler deserves Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Glad to see a video where they were actually coupled together.
It certainly is a great match! Thanks for watching
As an alternative to vanilla ice cream, my mother always poured a little heavy cream into our bowls of peach cobbler…sooooo good 😊
That sounds really good! we will have to try that next time.
Butter pecan ice-cream
Yes so good..we still do that!
Mmmm, peach cobbler without the cream.
My grandma did the same thing
Is it weird that I smiled in jubilation for you the whole time? Truly is an experience having good BBQ.
No! not at all! Thanks for watching!
I lived in England for 5 years, and it is the most British thing ever to see someone properly using a fork and knife to eat BBQ with
Lol! your right .... rookie error. Thanks for watching
@@thebritstry it's a compliment, I credit my good manners to English schooling....
Nothing like Texas BBQ!! And, the turkey is always delish!
It was Amazing! and the Turkey was so tasty and juicy! Thanks for watching
I don’t know what Terry Black’s calls it, but most Texas Barbecue places have a baked potato stuffed with meat.
I’m more delighted with each video…keep um’ coming, ya’ll. 🤠
Thank you for watching and Your kind words mean a lot to us. We have some more video's from Austin to come.
being british must be like experiencing the world as a toddler, yet you're still an adult at the same time 😂their wide eyed bewilderment
Absolutely, That is a great way to explain it! Thanks for watching
but in the best possible way because nom nom nom
We are so lucky to live in the US, because of our unlimited food options. I love it when foreigners talk badly about American cuisine, and then have a chance to try it in person, Then, they usually say, WOW or OMG, is this good.
@@DaveBrazda-b4f They don't realize that our "cuisine" is ALL theirs, from around the world, combined together! And in some cases done better, merged with other cultures'. Plus our own. I live in a small rural community, but in a 40 minute drive I can have more or less authentic food from like 20 countries!
That's a bit condescending. England is quite small compared to the US, and they have a long rich history which they've held onto preserving. In the US we're all about progress-- not tradition.
Our progress touches everything from politics to religion to cuisine.
My Texan pro tip is: Brisket slice, bread, pickles, onion, and bbq sauce folded like a taco. I always do this every time I get Black's.
That's a solid way to enjoy brisket! The combination of flavors must be amazing. Thanks for sharing your pro tip!
"no chewing involved" made me bust out laughing. Well done, you two!
Haha, we're thrilled you found that part funny! Thanks for watching!
Love her. Her enthusiasm is infectious and had me smiling. Thank You
Totally radiant. She'd make a rainy day sunny.
I miss living in Texas. BLACKS IS THE BOMB! 🎉
My wife and I stop in at Blacks every time we go to
Central Texas to see her family.
Thank you for sharing your love for Texas and Blacks! It's awesome that you have such fond memories. We really enjoyed Terry Blacks!
Central Texas has long had large Czech, Polish, and German communities, which means the sausage game here is on point. Elgin sausage (like they eat in the vid) is world class stuff
German potato salad is awesome, too. It's different than the "normal" potato salad, and I like it a lot better.
Your joy oozed through the screen. I could taste the food just from how much you were enjoying it.
From a former Fort Worthite. You can’t get any better! Good peach cobbler isn’t too sweet and the cobbler is supposed to be just as you are tasting! Blacks nails all their delights!! Glad you enjoyed it!!
Everything was delicious! Thanks for watching
Fort Worth isn't a part of Texas IMO
@@trlckykid ok
It's a great find when you come across food that makes you both laugh and cry. Most people think I'm strange for that. I feel for them that they don't experience that.
Thanks for watching! we are grateful for the unique experiences food brings. It's like a culinary adventure every time!
for 19 minutes and 58 glorious seconds, Andrew and Nicola were American, happy to have y'all, come back anytime.
Also, what Nicola said about not using the BBQ sauce warmed my heart. Good Beef BBQ doesn't need sauce. Pork, Chicken, and Turkey can get sauce, Beef should stand on its own. And on a further side note, you can judge a BBQ place by their Banana pudding. If you order banana pudding somewhere and it is Banana flavored pudding, don't ever return.
Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate you taking the time to watch! Banana Pudding is our new favorite thing!
You're right... but a really good sauce is another art form. You wouldn't want to just eat it with a spoon like soup, so putting a little on the BBQ can be an excuse just to taste the sauce.
A lot of us had mothers that would make banana pudding at home. I remember having it often on Sunday evenings, when the Wonderful World of Disney was on television. But as good as that was, it never quite compared to banana pudding at a BBQ joint.
So, are y'all ready to move to Texas yet? I love that you ate it without barbeque sauce. If it's good, it doesn't need it. The sauce is for when you have chopped brisket sandwiches usually. I think that Terry Black's seasoning is just a pure salt and pepper. The rest is good wood smoke. I have to tell you, I moved to Texas from California a long time ago and when I tasted brisket for the first time it blew my mind. How can anything so simple be so delicious? The rest of the food there is really good too. The potato salad isn't too heavy and mayo forward, And the banana pudding...OMG. I'd stand in line at 6am (and have) for Terry Black's. The next time that you're in Texas, please come down South of Houston. We're famous for the Tex-Mex, mesquite brisket and seafood. You haven't lived until you've had char grilled oysters on the half shell with garlic, butter and Parmesan cheese on them. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you for sharing your Texas experience and food recommendations. We had a great time in Austin and really enjoyed it! We did try some Tex-Mex and will upload the video as soon as possible. Thanks for watching
Everybody moving from California to Texas...
I've never cried over a food show, but I cried like I'd lost a lover on this one. I lived in Texas for 7 blissful BBQ years....
Thanks for watching! and sorry we made you sad! Terry Blacks was Amazing
@@thebritstry .. Once you go Black's, there's no going back. 😄
I live on the coast of Texas! As a young kid, we ate alot of seafood. Gumbo, fred fish and shrimp, boiled shrimp an crabs, oysters. We caught everything we ate our self! And my mom opened up a barbecue place in the 70s! With a secret family barbecue sauce! But I'm like y'all, I like my meat without the sauce. Family get-togethers was always barbecue! But Tex-Mex maybe my favorite. We also ate a lot of what is called nowadays soul food. But it was just country cooking back then! We was raised up poor, but turn out we ate like rich people! Lol
Your childhood sounds like a treasure trove of delicious memories! We tried some Tex-Mex while in Austin and will upload the video soon.
I feel ya. Born/raised in Florida where we got a lot of our seafood. Even scallops, blue crab and crayfish (lobster size salt water ones but No claw). I moved and miss Florida and it's abundance.
This so wholesome! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I love seeing people trying food from other other countries. These 2 were very entertaining!! Loved them!
Thank you so much for your kind words!
After a long hard day of work….at home….on my day off. Watching yall enjoy this meal made my day 😂. The look on y’all’s faces when you had the Turkey…priceless.
Thank you so much for watching! It means alot
I’m always proud when foreigners try bbq in Texas to all the hype and they are never disappointed
So glad you enjoyed our Texas BBQ experience! It's a whole new world, and it was delicious. Thanks for watching
Finally I reason to visit the US again - I neeeeeed to visit Terry Blacks! 👍
And I’ve lived in US my whole life and never ate there.
Edit: it is 1,600 miles from where I live.
Terry Blacks was really delicious! thanks for watching
Wow, that would be a long way to go for some food!
"Don't bring anybody with you and just have both of them!" my fave quote of the day :D
Lol! thanks for watching!!
Yay!! So glad you liked it. I get one of those beef ribs shipped to me every year on my birthday 😅😂
Wow! Thats a great tradition! we might have to start that too! Thanks for watching!
@@thebritstry Definitely recommend it! It’s very easy the way they ship it to just heat it up in the oven and it’s just gorgeous
LOL!! You guys are so cute. I do enjoy your reactions. Cheers from Tennessee
Thank you so much 😁 and Thanks for watching!
@@thebritstry Nicola, now you know what to get when Andrew does something dumb. Burnt Ends. Cheers
Texas smoked Beef rib is magical 🤤🫠
Life changing!!! Thanks for watching
Speaking as a texan here in Dallas, you two have made me quite proud 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to have made a Texan proud! It was delicious.
I love watching people from different cultures and countries enjoying each other's food. I truly believe a good meal can help settle any difference and/or deal. Good food is one of the highlights in this life.😊
You are so right, this is very true.
Born again Southerners.
😂Thanks for watching
The realization that Turkey somehow also slaps was great
Lol! we were very surprised by how juicy the turkey was! it was delicious.
@@thebritstry You should try smoked chicken here sometime, too. Amazing most times, it can really take on the smoke if you're up to it. It's a good test of a place.
@@thebritstry you can marinate th e turkey or inject it with butter/other.
That's funny. I've got 2 racks of beef short ribs in the fridge ready for the smoker in the morning. Glad ya'll liked our grub. And a general rule of thumb. If central texas bbq is done right. Sauce is not needed. So you guys are spot on there.
So Jealous! We are craving those ribs right now! Thanks for watching.
So glad to be living in the best country in the world - Texas
As someone that grew up in nyc I had an opportunity to live in Texas for 2 1/2 months a few years ago for work I still wake up dreaming of one day moving there permanently. The people, the culture the food and a feeling of belonging…
Hell yeah brother!
This couple should have WAY MORE subscribers. So fun!
Your kind words mean the world to us! We appreciate your support.
It was fun watching you guys trying American food! 👏🏾
So glad you had fun watching us try American food - more challenges coming soon!
Love Terry Black's - glad that y'all enjoyed it.
We enjoyed it very much!😀
And the fact that they went to the best one! (Lockhart)
@@gigzilla5059 C'mon, Austin's pretty dang good, also!😋
the pro move when making the beans is to put the pan ov beans under the brisket or pork sholder\butt and let thr drippings drip into the beans
Wow! that is a real pro move, thanks for the recipe tip!
The speakers are discussing two banana pudding desserts they had at a restaurant or cafe. They both agree that the desserts are "outstanding" and can't choose between them, suggesting that it's a matter of personal preference. One speaker mentions trying some cream on top of one of the puddings, which is described as like mousse.
They discuss the texture and composition of the dessert, with one speaker mentioning that they don't see any chunks of banana in their pudding, unlike previous ones they've had. Another speaker comments on the smoothness of the banana flavor in this particular dessert.
The conversation concludes with a lighthearted comment about needing to "nap" off all the food they just consumed and doing extra gym work tomorrow to compensate for the calories.
Thanks for watching!
You two are so cute together!! Keep up the Amazing job!!
I'd love for you guys to find a place that has 'Lava Cake' and Ice Cream...I think Andrew would move Banana Pudding down to his Top 8
Thank you so much for your kind words! We really appreciate your support.
banana pudding is THE dessert of the south. It's what holiday dinners at grandma's house is made of. lava cakes you can get delivered from dominos. not remotely in the same realm of dessert.
@@jishani1 If you think getting 'Lava Cake' from Domino's delivery, is a real thing then you don't know the meaning of 'Lava Cake'
When you got the tour of the smokers, and the Pitmaster opened the doors, the Heavens opened up.
Rays of sunshine and rainbows shown down on those briskets. They, indeed, are the true pot of gold!
That is BBQ at its finest there is, right there! It don't get no better!
We know what you mean! The smell was also spectacular. The pitmaster tour was amazing! they were so friendly.
You guys have to be the busiest RUclipsrs. You're everywhere. 👍
LOL! thanks for sharing! It means a lot that you noticed, thank you for your kind words!
I was thinking the same thing. They are hitting the best spots for authentic food around the country.
What an absolutely adorable couple.
Oh thank you!🤗
So, guys, Texans typically use a coarse salt and pepper rub (Dalmation rub) to coat the meat (brisket - breast cut of the cow) before smoking. It forms a crust called the bark. Salt penetrates the meat from this drying brining technique. Low and slow smoke and convection heat for a long time, and it comes out juicy and tender. Sometimes, they may squeeze in a little garlic powder. Happy eating. 😊😊
Thanks for sharing this information about the Texan brisket preparation technique! it's a real art form!
The seasonings and the fat then also drips down onto the coals and enhances the smoke.
I was gonna say, there’s definitely a full run on there, not just salt and pepper. He was just being polite to Nicola. 😁
@@thebritstryIf you want to see some good videos of brisket prep an cooking, then you should check out Chud's BBQ channel. He is a pitmaster and actually builds smokers as well.
@@thebritstry Some establishments have been rumored to add beef tallow after the meat is taken off before the meat is wrapped and rested.
Welcome to Texas. Enjor your stay. Leave bangers and mash for the dogs...
Lol! Thank you so much for watching!
I'm thinking we may make Southerners out of you! 😂😂 you'll say "Hey y'all before you know it". Come to Alabama! Decatur Alabama to be specific. Big Bob Gibson's BBQ is award winning, Simp McGhees in the downtown historical district is amazing as well as the brand new 609 Market & Provisions. It is getting rave reviews. You'll love Alabama! It truly lives up to its name " Alabama The Beautiful" we KNOW how to do hospitality!
Thanks for the suggestions! Alabama sounds amazing! We'll definitely add it to my travel list and try an work about a way to get there.
I remember cutting class at Calhoun and going to Big Bob Gibson's in Decatur for lunch.
Their homemade pies are incredible. Chocolate, coconut, pecan, lemon meringue, etc.
Their white sauce for chicken is very good.
The white sauce recipe is online.
That Bama white sauce is a RELIGION down there. Personally, I consider myself the BBQ TRIFECTA-got family in Bama and Texas, and I live in North Carolina. Y’all need to come to North Carolina. Our Eastern and Western pork BBQ is world-class!
You two come across as the nicest people. I’m glad you enjoyed your visit to Texas.
Your comment truly warms our hearts. It means a lot to hear such kind words. Thank you for your support!
Why, why I knew better, I heard TerryBlacksBarrfbecue and I had to sit and watch. I'm in a trance now I can't move. I wanted to fall over and collapse at every bite. To share such a meal with your love. Does it get any better? Yes, peach cobbler and ice cream🎙
Thanks for watching! it was an amazing experience and the food was delicious! we were not expecting those desserts to be so good!
Watching Brits try seasoning for the first time is hilarious
Welcome to America. Foody paradise. Every culture is here so eat everything from all over the world. You're never bored.
This is so true. 😀
A good teacher is like a candle it consumes itself to light the way for others.
Thank you for watching.
You guys have excellent chemistry.
Nicola has the most beautiful voice and accent .
Fun to watch you both
Thank you so much! 😊 and thank you for watching!
I don't watch these very often but you as a pair were GREAT and it was easy to see (even if the sound was off) how much you were enjoying your BBQ. Thank you both for a GREAT video!
Its refreshing to see 2 ppl enjoying a cuisine like this the expressions on youre faces gived it away before you even try describe it so genuine ❤️.
Now ill have to gry get there with a Friend now that i know how good it is.
I love these 2 so much, and seeing them enjoy real BBQ for first time is so much fun!!
Thank you for your kind words! It really means a lot to see how much you appreciate their experience! Thanks for watching
I love it that you love our food! Food tells a story about the people and their culture. Thank you for telling our story.
