Alabama white sauce is completely different from bechamel and from gravy... it's a mayonnaise based sauce with vinegar ... look up "Alabama white sauce". Words can have different meanings in different areas of America. Love the reactions and your great personalities!
Here’s the ingredients: Alabama white sauce starts with a base of mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Many variations exist but typical flavorings include mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar or honey, garlic and/or onion powder, and lots of black pepper. Also as much as I enjoy Dennys no wonder u didn’t like the biscuits. You need to have a southern/Midwest mom or Gma (or go a restaurant down south that’s not a chain) make u a real biscuit
Biscuits are made differently than Scones. If you do make them, you want the buttermilk ones, and you typically eat them with honey and not cream. The best is biscuits and gravy with a nice sausage gravy. So good.
I’ve seen other videos where people across the pond tried it but were horrified by the look. Plus their thinking a thin brown gravy on basically cookies🍪but end up loving them!
American biscuits are one thing I’m surprised haven’t spread across the world like wildfire. It’s such a simple yet so tasty soft, savory, buttery treat. It’s versatile too. You can make a breakfast sandwich or have them as a side with dinner.
I once saw a video of British school children reacting to American biscuits and gravy. They kept wondering why the gravy is white and lumpy, and even hesitant to trying it out. When they did they just wanted more. It was kind of funny and wholesome when one referred to the taste as 'brilliant' in such a British manner and accent.
@@sconaldo7 Southern biscuits have more butter and acidity (from the buttermilk), making them extra fluffy and flaky. While scones rely on richer, denser, ingredients like heavy cream and eggs to get a sturdy, yet crumbly, pastry. Our biscuits are a thin layer that's little crisp on the outside but very soft throughout.

Gaynor, here is a recipe for for southern buttermilk biscuits: 4 cups of self-rising flour (sifted) 1/3 cup solid grease 1 1/2 of whole buttermilk. 1. Preheat oven to 500°F. 2. In a medium size bowl, place flour and grease. Mix with your hands for a minute or so. Gently pour in buttermilk, a little at a time, as you continue to mix with your hands and squeeze ingredients together until all the buttermilk is mixed in. 3. Flour surface. Take dough of of bowl and put on floured surface. Place a small amount of flour on your hands before patting to 1 inch thickness. 4. Cut out each biscuit and place in a greased cast- iron skillet. 5. Bake on the middle of the oven until light brown. Serve immediately. With you guys being over in the UK, I’m not sure as to how to convert them to metric. I will also understand that you may or may not have a cast iron skillet, but you should be able to use a cookie sheet.
If you think guacamole tastes like soap you're probably eating guacamole with cilantro in it. It's a common ingredient put some people prefer to leave it out. My mother was one of these. There is actually a gene that causes some people to pick up a soapy taste in cilantro.
Yeah sometimes cilantro has a soapy flavour to some people with a DNA gene that makes their tastebuds think it tastes soapy if you don't have that gene it actually has a very different flavour

Chili and cinnamon rolls are great combo. Although I’ve never dipped the roll in chili as I don’t think many do. It’s a good pairing of savory and sweet foods
Like how do you eat it? separate? do you eat a bite of chili then break off a piece of cinnamon roll? I've NEVER heard that combo and it looks hella weird and intimidating but if it was placed in front of me I'd eat it lol.
@@kev792 yeah separate. Cold day a good hot bowl of chili finished with cinnamon rolls for dessert. Just two things thatve always gone together well and I have no clue where it started. I’m 55 and it’s been like that since I was very young
One thing they failed to mention is that good NC barbecue is painstakingly cooked for hours. At the best places, you can taste the love that went into it.
Saltwater taffy is firm much like stiff clay but softens up once you put it in your mouth, but it's still chewy. It is considered so delicious that many won't leave the boardwalk in New Jersey without getting saltwater taffy for themselves and their friends and family. Also, it's not as sweet as you think it would be and it comes in many flavors.
I'm glad you've reacted to this. This certainly isn't all of the food in the US but I've encountered several people within the states that think the US is just burgers and fries and has no cuisine culture.

They are larger and much longer than the typical Blackberry, and can't really be found anywhere else but in Oregon, as they were bred specifically for the climate here (that and superior flavor). They make the BEST pies...🤤
As a native of the great state of Maine, I absolutely love lobster, and New England clam chowder (which is different from Boston clam chowder). One of the best (and most expensive) lobster rolls I've ever seen is from a restaurant called "The Red Barn", in Augusta, Maine. The last time I checked (pre-COVID), it was $45 for one sandwich. But, it's so huge that you're likely to share it. The primary thing that separates it from others, is that they put 6 lobster claws across the top of the sandwich. It's called the "Crustacean Elation". The same restaurant also has an amazing seafood chowder, which contains lobster, shrimp, scallops, fish and (I think) clams.
In Chicago they have the deep dish for special occasions, but most prefer the thin "tavern-style" for less formal occasions. Like down at the neighborhood tavern. The good biscuits are made with buttermilk- very flaky great with butter or honey. But best with sausage gravy - usually for breakfast/brunch.
@@rainbowunicorn709 I shake my head when I see shit like this and I feel like they need to talk to a real American who can tell them what is what. I feel like face-palming so much when I watch them.
Deep dish pizza is great, but many Chicagoans will argue that true Chicago style pizza is the pub served, square cut, thin crust type. And it tends to be somewhat well done, not floppy like NY style. You try to fold that in half and it’ll probably break lol
Aidan, the square NY pizza you’re thinking of is Sicilian pizza. It’s got a thick crust with sauce and cheese, is baked in a pan, and cut into rectangles. It is nothing like Chicago deep dish. It’s delicious.
@JC tbf there's different kinds of deep dish depending on where you get it from. The first deep dish pizza I had was REALLY thick on the sauce/cheese that you have to use a fork for, wouldn't recommend. I had another less than a year ago (only my second time trying it) from a place called Labriola that was much better. Still not a go-to for me as a Chicagoan. I was raised on thin crust and it aggravates me a bit how outsiders name or see deep dish as Chicago's representative food. Like, please. No.
I grew up in Nebraska and have never heard of chili and cinnamon rolls together. And I definitely never had it for lunch at school. We had cinnamon rolls at breakfast and chili for lunch, but never together. I’ve always heard that Runzas are the food Nebraska is known for.
How did you live in the states for a decade and only had an America. Biscuit once!? Edit: Aiden when you pause hit the back arrow to go back 5 seconds before resuming lol. You miss stuff that the video literally just said like the “buckeye” being a tree that those peanut butter things are made to look like. 👍
@@steve9833 i live in new england we love southern biscuits up here. they arent hard to find at all, they are at every breakfast restaurant and fried chicken place. they are just as popular here as anywhere else in the country. english muffins on the other hand, not as popular as you would really think. more people eat biscuits than english muffins.
Being from Alabama myself, Roll Tide, the chicken with white sauce is really delicious. The sauce is not like a gravy but rather like a white BBQ sauce, it does have a tangy flavor which adds to the flavor of the chicken!! If you get the chance to try it, you will not be disappointed!!
I was born, raised and again live in Missouri and toasted ravioli are really easy to make if you buy prepared raw refrigerated ravioli at the store. Let me know if you want the recipe. They are pillows of deliciousness! Mmmmmmm.....so yummy!
Buttermilk Biscuits 3 and 1/2 cups self rising flour 2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 2/3rd cup cold salted butter 1 and 1/2 cup buttermilk This is meant to be done by hand. Combine dry ingredients. Cube the really cold butter then using a pastry cutter or fork cut the butter into the flour mixture until you get a grainy texture (you can also pinch the pieces of butter in the flour mixture to break them up into small pea sized pieces) basically you want the butter pieces to be about the size of a peas or smaller and uniformly mixed into the flour, so the dough will look crumbly.Then stir in buttermilk. Turn out dough onto a floured surface. Shape into a big rectangle then, roll out dough a bit then tri-fold dough into itself like a letter. Repeat this process of rolling and folding about 3 times. (more folding makes them flakier and fluffier and helps distribute the butter) finally roll out dough to be about 1/2 inch thick and cut out your biscuits usually about a 3 inch round cutter. Press cutter straight down, don't twist. After cutting out the biscuits reform and fold the scraps and roll out again to cut more. Repeat until you're only left with 1 biscuit sized amount of dough and roughly form into biscuit shape. Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes after baking brush on some melted butter. You can eat them savory with just butter, turn them into an egg, bacon and cheese sandwich, or put butter and jam on them.
I’m from St. Louis, toasted raviolis are ravioli pasta stuffed with usually sausage and then fried. They are unlike any appetizer style food in the US. St. Louis also has some of the best thin crust pizza in the US.
British biscuits and American Biscuits are two different things. British biscuits in America are cookies. American biscuits are like dinner rolls. They are fluffy buttery and flaky.

This kind of seals it. I don't understand why you don't just finance a Sophie and Aidan trip around the United States! RUclips videos can finance it. I love this show.
Ohio is famous for their Buckeye trees. The nut of the tree is poisonous unless boiled which some Native American tribes did. The nut is about 3.5 cm and has a large, defined light spot on one side that resembles a male deer's eye. In the Eastern US a male deer is called a "Buck." Hence... "Buckeye." The confections known as "Buckeyes" usually involve peanut butter and chocolate. The donut known as a Buckeye is a white yeast donut with chocolate icing covering the entire top and a blob of sweetened peanut butter whipped with butter. It is a sugar overload, but so good!
I'm from Nebraska and had never heard of eating chili and cinnamon rolls together until I started seeing it on Runza commercials and then on these types of lists. It might be more common in certain parts of the state than others. Steak would have been a better choice as a state food.
I'm also from NE, and its extremely common, at least to me growing up in Lincoln. It's usually a staple winter meal though, and never in the other season of the year here.
I like how you think thats weird food? Your logic can be applied to your statement. People are familiar with the food in their culture and flavor combos they are not used to can be "weird".
When it comes to spotted dick most people can't say it without giggling a little until they learn what it is and then they will say: "who came up with that name it looks nothing like a dick with spots!?"
@ 18:00 ~ No, we have Blackberries here in the U.S. The Marionberry is a Hybrid Blackberry grown mostly in the state of Oregon. It's a cross between the 'Chehalem' and 'Olallie' varieties, it is the most common form of blackberry cultivated. It accounts for over half of all blackberries produced in Oregon.
I went to school in Kansas in the 90s and when they serve the chili with a cinnamon roll we treated the cinnamon roll more is like a desert. There were a few people who would dip it in, but most people I knew ate it after they finish their chili.
It's funny they mention Hickory and fried chicken donut sandwiches since I live in Hickory, NC, and used to frequently eat fried chicken donut sandwiches at Astro's Donuts and Fried Chicken.
Come on Gaynor, do a food video where you make some of the food and have everyone try it. That would be great. Also, I don't know, but Aiden seems like the kind of dude who would like bull balls. hahaha
Asks if the Buckeye candy got it's name from something else 5 seconds after the narrator said it was named for the Buckeye Tree Nut. Holy Perception Batman!
Love the story of Maple Syrup- when colonists came to North America and saw the Indigenous people making it, they asked where it came from, their response was “The Squirrels taught us!” By watching squirrels scratch at the bark of Sugar Maple (acer saccharum) trees in late winter, they saw the sap thicken and the squirrels would eat it until Spring vegetation would come in.
American alligator is common here in Florida. It tastes like tough chicken. I have had it twice-- once in NY and here in Florida. They make like chicken fingers or tenders.
You gotta try buttermilk biscuit they're so good. I'm not suprised about the cinnamon roll with chili have a friend that his family put sugar in their chili. Not me but some like the sweet flavor with it. We got our name from the poisonous nut in ohio called buckeye and those are made to look like it.
Don’t knock Rocky Mountain oysters until you try them. If you can get past the fact that it’s a literal ball then it’s just like a flat chicken nugget 🤷🏻♀️ pretty good honestly.
Them laughing at Cinnamon Roles with Chili is funny cause I’ve always found it strange myself. I will be in Cincy the first time this year so I’ll get to try it. 😂
I remember it was the best school lunch by far if specifically if you went to school in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. I remember waiting for Chili day growing up there. Which is weird cause i didnt like school lunch that much. However It is much better if make it at home or in restaurants.
BBQ is a thing in Kansas City-- mostly on the Missouri side, but admittedly in Kansas too. But I would never say BBQ ribs are a quintessentially Kansas dish. Steak, maybe, or chicken fried steak.
I am a third-generation Californian, so grew up eating lots of avocados. My mother fell into a bountiful cache of avocados one season and made every conceivable thing under the sun utilizing avocados. So believe it when you see some unusual things in this video.
I went to high school near Santa Barbara, and loved going to the avocado festival each year. So many different ways to use and eat avocado! Since it's mild and creamy, it can easily be made both sweet and savory.
Buffets good ones have sneeze guards to prevent breathing on food. You paused the video on them talking about how the buckeye dessert resembles the buckeye nut which everything gets name from.
First state in the video and Aiden said he doesn’t like gravy… I have lived in the South all my life and while I don’t generally align with a lot of Southern culture my face got a little red when he said that. Knife in the heart 🤣
im texas born, we have a mix of deep southern food like deer chilli, fried catfish, fried alligator, tex mex and brisket. but i have cajun roots from a handful of generations back with shrimp creole, gumbo (shrimp and crab), shrimp and grits and crawfish boil (crawfish, sausage, corn cobs, red potatoes and green onions and halved lemons) and for thanksgiving oyster dressing with french bread, boiled and minced oysters, chicken liver and gizzards and celery baked with the turkey and for dessert bourbon pound cake and pumpkin pie
The 'square pizza' we have in New York is Sicilian style. Very bready, baked in a rectangular baker's pan, popular from the days when Catholics ate no red meat whatsoever every Friday of the year, not just during Lent. My father is a third generation baker and we had a family bakery in the Hudson Valley of New York, around Poughkeepsie. My family is from Naples, but there were significant Sicilian expats around as well. And the family bakery back in the day used to bake tray after tray of sicilian style pizza with peppers and onions and olives on it. The neighborhood patrons came down and bought one or two pans for their Friday night family meal, and the next day, they brought back the empty baking pan. There were other Italians from other provinces that settled down near Baltimore in the Mid-Atlantic region, and they brought that region (as well as a city in upstate New York called Utica) the square bready pizza but it was just the bread and the tomato sauce, and that's called Tomato Pie. Italian source, different development in the states, a bit of an acquired experience having no cheese or toppings on a sicilian pie, but it showcases the flavors of the sauce and I order one every now and then when I'm in one of the pizzerias in Midtown where that variant is available by the slice. My personal thought would be that the Italians who settled in Chicago brought some variant of the Tomato Pie but added back the cheese and changed the shape of the pan to evolve into Deep Dish Chicago-style, but the truth is just that you put the sauce on top of the cheese there because of the longer baking times needed with the added thickness you don't want the cheese to burn. So tomato on top. California style pizza is the thin crust with just a bit more dough and lots of 'fad' toppings that come and go. And don't forget dessert pizzas and semi-sweet pizzas. There's a great gourmet place around my neighborhood in NYC which does a great fig/pear pizza with gorgonzola cheese drizzled with a balsamic reduction and fresh basil which is to die for. They also offer a nutella dessert pie covered in sliced strawberries and dolloped with creme fraische. So... pizza is very versatile and available everywhere here from the giant dollar slice on the go on up to the high falutin balsamic & fruitin' end of things. :) Most every cuisine on the world goes well on a cracker with some kind of dairy product on top, and that my friends is the basic recipe for pizza right there!
Tomato Pie is what Sicilian pizza really is. Tomato sauce with anchovies and onion, no mozzarella, topped with a grated hard cheese. In Sicilia, it's referred to as sfincione. It wasn't brought to Baltimore or the Mid-Atlantic, but to Philadelphia, where it is still a big staple of Italian food, just without the anchovies, mostly.
I want to try a Kensington Ave roll. I hear it's only a couple of bucks and it will have you rolling around on the sidewalk in a pile of 🗑️ trash. Yo Adrian...I did it!!!
there is a new york pizza tour where a guide takes you on a bus to several different famous pizza places and you try the different pizza types. It's great if you like pizza!
Taffy is soft, chewy, stretchy, and very sticky. It's been known to pull fillings out of one's teeth if one is not careful. But it's good! Bison is another name for buffalo. The taste is almost indistinguishable from beef and tends to be leaner because the animals are more muscular and more active than their sedentary bovine cousins.
The Marionberry is a hybrid berry of two rich blackberry strains crossed with a raspberry strain, and is only in season for a few weeks in early summertime. The name originates from it being first grown in Marion county, Oregon. It has a rich delicious blackberry taste with a light tartness from the raspberry. LOVE them!
Funny about the rabbit. If you ask many (especially Southern) Americans why they won’t eat lamb, it’s because they’re cute. But so common in other parts of the world! 😂
Americans are unfamiliar with Blackcurrants because while they were brought by settlers, it was later discovered that the plant carried Pine Blight which was a threat to pine forests, so their cultivation was banned in the entire US. It is no longer banned, but there are only a few places where you can find them, and not in any large amounts. I have been to the UK and got hooked on Ribena instantly, and I have to pay a lot to get it, so It's more of a treat than a staple for me. But just today I got a package from my mate in Croydon with a couple big bottles of squash with bags of Twiglets for packing, so I'm happy 😁 To my fellow Yanks, if you decide to try it, be warned it's addictively delicious!

I was raised on thin crust and it aggravates me a bit how outsiders name or see deep dish as Chicago's representative food. Like, please. No.
Don't forget Detroit-style pizza.
17:16 Aiden, the narrator lady is explaining it while you are asking about it.
A few times you paused while they were answering the question you were asking lol!
I grew up in Nebraska and have never heard of chili and cinnamon rolls together. And I definitely never had it for lunch at school. We had cinnamon rolls at breakfast and chili for lunch, but never together. I’ve always heard that Runzas are the food Nebraska is known for.
I live in Grand Island and I grew up on that combo lol. Its a runza staple in the winter in this town lol
How did you live in the states for a decade and only had an America. Biscuit once!?
Edit: Aiden when you pause hit the back arrow to go back 5 seconds before resuming lol. You miss stuff that the video literally just said like the “buckeye” being a tree that those peanut butter things are made to look like. 👍
I think they lived up North where biscuits aren't that popular, like english muffins are.
@@steve9833 yea Jersey. But I think they also lived in Houston.
@@steve9833 i live in new england we love southern biscuits up here. they arent hard to find at all, they are at every breakfast restaurant and fried chicken place. they are just as popular here as anywhere else in the country. english muffins on the other hand, not as popular as you would really think. more people eat biscuits than english muffins.
Maybe they didn’t go out of their comfort zone?
Being from Alabama myself, Roll Tide, the chicken with white sauce is really delicious. The sauce is not like a gravy but rather like a white BBQ sauce, it does have a tangy flavor which adds to the flavor of the chicken!! If you get the chance to try it, you will not be disappointed!!
I was born, raised and again live in Missouri and toasted ravioli are really easy to make if you buy prepared raw refrigerated ravioli at the store. Let me know if you want the recipe. They are pillows of deliciousness! Mmmmmmm.....so yummy!
Buttermilk Biscuits
3 and 1/2 cups self rising flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3rd cup cold salted butter
1 and 1/2 cup buttermilk
This is meant to be done by hand.
Combine dry ingredients. Cube the really cold butter then using a pastry cutter or fork cut the butter into the flour mixture until you get a grainy texture (you can also pinch the pieces of butter in the flour mixture to break them up into small pea sized pieces) basically you want the butter pieces to be about the size of a peas or smaller and uniformly mixed into the flour, so the dough will look crumbly.Then stir in buttermilk. Turn out dough onto a floured surface. Shape into a big rectangle then, roll out dough a bit then tri-fold dough into itself like a letter. Repeat this process of rolling and folding about 3 times. (more folding makes them flakier and fluffier and helps distribute the butter) finally roll out dough to be about 1/2 inch thick and cut out your biscuits usually about a 3 inch round cutter. Press cutter straight down, don't twist. After cutting out the biscuits reform and fold the scraps and roll out again to cut more. Repeat until you're only left with 1 biscuit sized amount of dough and roughly form into biscuit shape.
Bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes after baking brush on some melted butter. You can eat them savory with just butter, turn them into an egg, bacon and cheese sandwich, or put butter and jam on them.
The marionberry and the blackberry are two different berries. We have blackberries in the US as well.
Lots of different varieties of blackberries: loganberries, boysenberries, marionberries.
The Ohio State Buckeyes are named after the buckeye nut, not the dessert. The dessert just resembles the look of the nut.
They would've known if he didn't keep pausing at the wrong times lol
I’m from St. Louis, toasted raviolis are ravioli pasta stuffed with usually sausage and then fried. They are unlike any appetizer style food in the US. St. Louis also has some of the best thin crust pizza in the US.
Square pizza is found in St. Louis. St. Louis is also the place that gave us the fried ravioli & gooey butter cakes.
British biscuits and American Biscuits are two different things. British biscuits in America are cookies. American biscuits are like dinner rolls. They are fluffy buttery and flaky.
Biscuits and Gravy will put such a smile on your face❤
Dude!!! Aiden you're such an American eating you're waffles and chicken!!!! Yes!! Alaskan King Crab legs are my favorite!!
Chicken fried steak is AMAZING
Taffy is chewy, way closer to nougat than toffee…
Alabama white sauce starts with a base of mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar. Many variations exist but typical flavorings include mustard, Worcestershire sauce, sugar or honey, garlic and/or onion powder, and lots of black pepper.
This kind of seals it. I don't understand why you don't just finance a Sophie and Aidan trip around the United States! RUclips videos can finance it. I love this show.
Ohio is famous for their Buckeye trees. The nut of the tree is poisonous unless boiled which some Native American tribes did. The nut is about 3.5 cm and has a large, defined light spot on one side that resembles a male deer's eye. In the Eastern US a male deer is called a "Buck."
Hence... "Buckeye."
The confections known as "Buckeyes" usually involve peanut butter and chocolate. The donut known as a Buckeye is a white yeast donut with chocolate icing covering the entire top and a blob of sweetened peanut butter whipped with butter. It is a sugar overload, but so good!
Yea, kinda what the video said but in an abbreviated manner.
Hahaha so far the only people I’ve seen not completely orgasm over the parts with BBQ and ribs in this vid lol
A lot of the Chinese restaurants in the US (at least in my area) are actually getting rid of the little boxes and going to plastic containers now.
I see you shaking your head at tater tot hotdish, it's so good!
Of course Massachusetts is like, “oooh, a mug of warm snot with sea bugs… give me more!” 😂
Blue sweatshirt constantly asking what’s that as the videos explaining
I'm from Nebraska and had never heard of eating chili and cinnamon rolls together until I started seeing it on Runza commercials and then on these types of lists. It might be more common in certain parts of the state than others. Steak would have been a better choice as a state food.
I'm also from NE, and its extremely common, at least to me growing up in Lincoln. It's usually a staple winter meal though, and never in the other season of the year here.
No one dips cinnamon rolls in chili. And you talked right over the explanation of what a real buckeye is.
Bison is American buffalo. The meat is leaner and sweeter than beef. It's really good!
I like how you guys think a few of these were weird yet you have beans on toast, blood pudding, a food called spotted dick, and haggis
I like how you think thats weird food?
Your logic can be applied to your statement. People are familiar with the food in their culture and flavor combos they are not used to can be "weird".
When it comes to spotted dick most people can't say it without giggling a little until they learn what it is and then they will say: "who came up with that name it looks nothing like a dick with spots!?"
@ 18:00 ~ No, we have Blackberries here in the U.S. The Marionberry is a Hybrid Blackberry grown mostly
in the state of Oregon. It's a cross between the 'Chehalem' and 'Olallie' varieties, it is the most common form
of blackberry cultivated. It accounts for over half of all blackberries produced in Oregon.
When it comes to eating REAL bbq, you gotta forget about staying clean and just enjoy the food
The square pizza in NY is called a Sicilian pizza and the normal round pizza is a Neapolitan. They are great! I am a native New Yorker.
Yes, Idaho is known for potatoes, but we also have huckleberries.
I went to school in Kansas in the 90s and when they serve the chili with a cinnamon roll we treated the cinnamon roll more is like a desert. There were a few people who would dip it in, but most people I knew ate it after they finish their chili.
It's funny they mention Hickory and fried chicken donut sandwiches since I live in Hickory, NC, and used to frequently eat fried chicken donut sandwiches at Astro's Donuts and Fried Chicken.
Come on Gaynor, do a food video where you make some of the food and have everyone try it. That would be great.
Also, I don't know, but Aiden seems like the kind of dude who would like bull balls. hahaha
If you listened to the lady on the video the candy buckeye is named after the nut of a tree in Ohio called the Buckeye tree
Asks if the Buckeye candy got it's name from something else 5 seconds after the narrator said it was named for the Buckeye Tree Nut. Holy Perception Batman!
Love the story of Maple Syrup- when colonists came to North America and saw the Indigenous people making it, they asked where it came from, their response was “The Squirrels taught us!”
By watching squirrels scratch at the bark of Sugar Maple (acer saccharum) trees in late winter, they saw the sap thicken and the squirrels would eat it until Spring vegetation would come in.
Watching this in Chicago while eating a giant slice of deep dish 😅
American alligator is common here in Florida. It tastes like tough chicken. I have had it twice-- once in NY and here in Florida. They make like chicken fingers or tenders.
Chicken sounds interesting
When I had it in New Orleans all I could come up with was "nondescript fish "
You gotta try buttermilk biscuit they're so good. I'm not suprised about the cinnamon roll with chili have a friend that his family put sugar in their chili. Not me but some like the sweet flavor with it. We got our name from the poisonous nut in ohio called buckeye and those are made to look like it.
Sir Mixalot loves buttermilk biscuits
The best things about those "Chinese food" take away boxes is that you can unfold them fully loaded, and they become large plates. ❤️
Don’t knock Rocky Mountain oysters until you try them. If you can get past the fact that it’s a literal ball then it’s just like a flat chicken nugget 🤷🏻♀️ pretty good honestly.
Them laughing at Cinnamon Roles with Chili is funny cause I’ve always found it strange myself. I will be in Cincy the first time this year so I’ll get to try it. 😂
I remember it was the best school lunch by far if specifically if you went to school in Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri. I remember waiting for Chili day growing up there. Which is weird cause i didnt like school lunch that much. However It is much better if make it at home or in restaurants.
Cincinnati chili is different .. It's a different pairing. Cinnamon rolls are better with a heartier chili.
The video said it was Nebraska's iconic food. So unless there's a Ciny in Nebraska, good luck with that one.
Friend of mine puts peanut butter in Chili. Didn't know that was a thing lol it's ok though.
@@G.0. it’s a very well known cincy food though
Bison are the largest native land mammal in north America.
As a Kansan, it's more BBQ in general not just ribs. Also, the Chili and Cinnamon roll is weirdly a great mix of savory and sweet...
BBQ is a thing in Kansas City-- mostly on the Missouri side, but admittedly in Kansas too. But I would never say BBQ ribs are a quintessentially Kansas dish. Steak, maybe, or chicken fried steak.
I am a third-generation Californian, so grew up eating lots of avocados. My mother fell into a bountiful cache of avocados one season and made every conceivable thing under the sun utilizing avocados. So believe it when you see some unusual things in this video.
I went to high school near Santa Barbara, and loved going to the avocado festival each year. So many different ways to use and eat avocado! Since it's mild and creamy, it can easily be made both sweet and savory.
Sicilian-Style Pizza is square and it's great too. Try the deep dish! =)
Ribs are really really good one of my favorite barbecued foods
Buffets good ones have sneeze guards to prevent breathing on food. You paused the video on them talking about how the buckeye dessert resembles the buckeye nut which everything gets name from.
First state in the video and Aiden said he doesn’t like gravy… I have lived in the South all my life and while I don’t generally align with a lot of Southern culture my face got a little red when he said that. Knife in the heart 🤣
im texas born, we have a mix of deep southern food like deer chilli, fried catfish, fried alligator, tex mex and brisket. but i have cajun roots from a handful of generations back with shrimp creole, gumbo (shrimp and crab), shrimp and grits and crawfish boil (crawfish, sausage, corn cobs, red potatoes and green onions and halved lemons) and for thanksgiving oyster dressing with french bread, boiled and minced oysters, chicken liver and gizzards and celery baked with the turkey and for dessert bourbon pound cake and pumpkin pie
The 'square pizza' we have in New York is Sicilian style. Very bready, baked in a rectangular baker's pan, popular from the days when Catholics ate no red meat whatsoever every Friday of the year, not just during Lent. My father is a third generation baker and we had a family bakery in the Hudson Valley of New York, around Poughkeepsie. My family is from Naples, but there were significant Sicilian expats around as well. And the family bakery back in the day used to bake tray after tray of sicilian style pizza with peppers and onions and olives on it. The neighborhood patrons came down and bought one or two pans for their Friday night family meal, and the next day, they brought back the empty baking pan.
There were other Italians from other provinces that settled down near Baltimore in the Mid-Atlantic region, and they brought that region (as well as a city in upstate New York called Utica) the square bready pizza but it was just the bread and the tomato sauce, and that's called Tomato Pie. Italian source, different development in the states, a bit of an acquired experience having no cheese or toppings on a sicilian pie, but it showcases the flavors of the sauce and I order one every now and then when I'm in one of the pizzerias in Midtown where that variant is available by the slice.
My personal thought would be that the Italians who settled in Chicago brought some variant of the Tomato Pie but added back the cheese and changed the shape of the pan to evolve into Deep Dish Chicago-style, but the truth is just that you put the sauce on top of the cheese there because of the longer baking times needed with the added thickness you don't want the cheese to burn. So tomato on top.
California style pizza is the thin crust with just a bit more dough and lots of 'fad' toppings that come and go.
And don't forget dessert pizzas and semi-sweet pizzas. There's a great gourmet place around my neighborhood in NYC which does a great fig/pear pizza with gorgonzola cheese drizzled with a balsamic reduction and fresh basil which is to die for. They also offer a nutella dessert pie covered in sliced strawberries and dolloped with creme fraische. So... pizza is very versatile and available everywhere here from the giant dollar slice on the go on up to the high falutin balsamic & fruitin' end of things. :) Most every cuisine on the world goes well on a cracker with some kind of dairy product on top, and that my friends is the basic recipe for pizza right there!
Tomato Pie is what Sicilian pizza really is. Tomato sauce with anchovies and onion, no mozzarella, topped with a grated hard cheese. In Sicilia, it's referred to as sfincione. It wasn't brought to Baltimore or the Mid-Atlantic, but to Philadelphia, where it is still a big staple of Italian food, just without the anchovies, mostly.
New Jersey is also known for its Taylor ham/pork roll - a delicious breakfast sandwich that can be found in any deli & diner in the state.
The best on this list is the clam chowder in a toasted sourdough bread bowl. I make it at least once a month.
Chili and Cinnamon rolls is of the same vein as Chicken and Waffles, sweet and savory😊
A bison is another name for an American buffalo.
Ta'tonka is the name of the great beast that used to roam the plains. I am Dances with RUclips.
The roll is everything. I live in Philly, if you ever come go to johns roast pork, Steve’s prince of steaks, and Angelo’s pizzeria
I want to try a Kensington Ave roll. I hear it's only a couple of bucks and it will have you rolling around on the sidewalk in a pile of 🗑️ trash. Yo Adrian...I did it!!!
If you ever go to Nashville Tennessee, the loveless cafe has the best biscuits I’ve ever had
Avocado can be mixed in with stuff to give it a creamy texture. They dont taste like much which is why you add salt and pepper and other stuff
there is a new york pizza tour where a guide takes you on a bus to several different famous pizza places and you try the different pizza types. It's great if you like pizza!
Taffy is soft, chewy, stretchy, and very sticky. It's been known to pull fillings out of one's teeth if one is not careful. But it's good!
Bison is another name for buffalo. The taste is almost indistinguishable from beef and tends to be leaner because the animals are more muscular and more active than their sedentary bovine cousins.
Alabama white sauce is not what you think it is--- the easiest way to describe it is as a mayonnaise-based bbq sauce.
They literally told you why the buckeye is named that in the video.
The Marionberry is a hybrid berry of two rich blackberry strains crossed with a raspberry strain, and is only in season for a few weeks in early summertime. The name originates from it being first grown in Marion county, Oregon. It has a rich delicious blackberry taste with a light tartness from the raspberry. LOVE them!
Funny about the rabbit. If you ask many (especially Southern) Americans why they won’t eat lamb, it’s because they’re cute. But so common in other parts of the world! 😂
Americans are unfamiliar with Blackcurrants because while they were brought by settlers, it was later discovered that the plant carried Pine Blight which was a threat to pine forests, so their cultivation was banned in the entire US. It is no longer banned, but there are only a few places where you can find them, and not in any large amounts. I have been to the UK and got hooked on Ribena instantly, and I have to pay a lot to get it, so It's more of a treat than a staple for me. But just today I got a package from my mate in Croydon with a couple big bottles of squash with bags of Twiglets for packing, so I'm happy 😁 To my fellow Yanks, if you decide to try it, be warned it's addictively delicious!
As a Wisconsinite that was raised in Minneosta. There are two odd dishes, 1 from each, that most tourist will miss. Minnesota has Fried Mayo. Wisconsin does the cannibal sandwich.
Nebraska boy here... chili with a cinnamon roll was the school meal kids loved, and by me... cooks made the best and big rolls...
A Denny's biscuit? No wonder it was dry - it was probably 3 days old.
Cool mom knows a lot
Cinnamon Rolls and chili surprisingly actually works. Taffy is chewy and sticky.
Had a laugh at the Denny's biscuits bit
Yep, the marionberry and blackberry are different! They just look similar!
