The term "comfort food" normally refers to food that people like because they have fond memories of it from childhood. The saying "just like mom used to make" tends to apply. Zucchini is a type of summer squash that is green when ripe. Some Brits know it under the French name, "courgette". In large parts of North America, it's extremely common for people to have relatives who live hundreds of miles away (e.g., people in Ohio might have cousins in Pennsylvania and another set of cousins in Indiana or Illinois). When there's a death in the family, then, a bunch of out-of-state relatives arrive all at once for the funeral. The family has a lot to deal with right then, and so it is customary for the family's church to host a meal for the family of the deceased, so that they can just sit down after the funeral and eat and talk with one another for an hour or so, before they all have to start the long trip back home.

biscuits shouldn't be dry my man. they have a ton of butter in them. flaky and tender with a crisp exterior is the texture of a good southern biscuit.

As a girl with roots in Mississippi, i can say that the po boy is, without question, NOT what we think of when we think of comfort food. I don't associate po boys with MS. People associate them with Louisiana. Fried catfish would've been a better choice for Mississippi.

As a native Wisconsinite, I can honestly tell you that cheese curds are absolutely outstanding.

Biscuits aren't supposed to be dry EVER. They are straight butter. Scones are dry & crumbly, not southern biscuits. In culinary school I was taught to put a knife straight in the heads of any live shellfish BEFORE putting them in boiling water. EVERYONE, should always research shellfish before cooking. Some HAVE TO be alive or frozen, no in between, or you can be poisoned.

“the fuck is a zucchini” absolutely sent me🤣🤣🤣

Im a native Utahn, and funeral potatoes are absolutely fantastic! We dont only have them at funeral luncheons, we also have them at different holidays, or family gatherings.

For that bad bison joke, you need to have some Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Comfort food definitely isn't something to nibble on lol. It's more like something that makes you happy and fills up your belly, or at least your heart, especially on a down day or if it's raining/snowing out.

Scrambled eggs with pancakes is AMAZING. -An American who is proud of his country's cuisine

Biscuits are not dry if made fresh and properly. They are light, buttery, flaky and super soft. You can eat them plain, with butter, jam, honey, meat, egg, sausage, chili, soup....the list goes on and on.

We never called those "funeral potatoes" and I was like "WHAT!?" the first time I heard them called that. When I was growing up, we called them "Party Potatoes". We also never topped it with corn flakes...ours were topped with crunched up potato chips.

My man's about to cry about not having a peach pie in front of him right this moment. Not that I blame him.

Comfort Food is simply food used to quite literally bring comfort. Usually eaten at times of physical and/or mental stress. Like being sick, angry, sad, confused, bad weather etc. You want to eat something that you know will help you feel better and that food is usually tied to some positive memory. A lot of the time you don't even know what memory its tied to but your body does. All you know is that when you eat said food, you feel more settled. For me its cereal. A close second would be a porkroll sandwich but cereal always makes me feel like a kid again, so it remains the king.

I commented in one of your other videos that I’m from Kansas, in the middle of the USA, however, my Mom’s side of the family has deeper roots in the northern Midwest. (Iowa, North and South Dakota, Minnesota and Nebraska). I mention this because my all-time favorite dessert/comfort food is Rhubarb Pie, and it’s something I never would have discovered if my Great-Grandmother and Grandmother hadn’t introduced it to me. It’s sweet, but it also has a strong tangy (almost sour) edge to it. Absolutely delicious, especially with vanilla ice cream on the side.

"Comfort food" in the States can refer to basically any food, meal or snack sized. It just has to make someone feel warm and fuzzy, like they're smiling on the inside, and typically evokes some sense of nostalgia. I feel like the video you reacted to here was slightly misleading, in that it wasn't really focused on "comfort foods" as much as like...regional staples, or regional specialties. But you can generally get any of these dishes anywhere in the US. (Well, except maybe the Runza...and the Scrapple, whatever that is.)

Funeral potatoes. It's common for friends, family and neighbors to bring over food to a family that has recently lost someone. The thought behind it is so that they don't have to worry about making meals while grieving. Often people bring casseroles or things that can easily be reheated.

The items being added to the Louisiana Jambalaya were crawfish or crawdads.

I've been doing fried green tomatoes here in the South for decades.... My secret is I don't put cornmeal on the edges. It's a double dipping of flour and egg... And my own spice concoction... People love them! As far as fish goes, I think my favorites are Lobster Crabs Scallops Cod Haddock Smoked mullet And of course salmon

I like when corn is just plain no butter or anything just the natural sweetness.

"Are noodles doughy?" Bro.... They are dough.

Comfort food = food that brings you comfort. It's just that simple. There's no need to overcomplicate it.

Biscuits are never dry, unless they are bad. They are almost nothing like "scones". They are moist, and crumbly, and NEVER sweet on their own, they can be topped with sweet things, but are almost always topped with savory things.

Comfort food in of itself is a food that brings back fond memories of childhood meals with family. Often-times cheap, always filling and tasty. Although some you have to grow up with to properly appreciate them.

They are available everywhere it’s just certain foods for each state is the most popular because you’ve eaten it regularly since you were just small. Some they didn’t include is banana pudding, baked beans,also with the fry bread you can top it with confectioners sugar and honey as a dessert,macaroni and cheese,open faced roast beef and gravy sandwich, and lots of desserts.

I have been to many countries and food is often a part of that; however, a lot of people don't truly understand the depth of differences and variety that actually exists in the US when it comes to food. The US is portrayed, wrongly, as simply some kind of cheap processed food or fast food generators, which is partially true but only the very beginning of the story of food in the US. No other country even remotely has the kind of food diversity either in markets or at restaurants than the US. It isn't even close. In a single plaza you might have a Turkish cafe run by a family that immigrated from Izmir, several fast food joints like Subway or Jersey Mike's, a fine dining Japanese sushi bar run by immigrants from Japan, a local pizza joint, a bar run by a Hungarian woman who uses her family recipes for their food, an old Korean couple that loves to argue while serving some kind of hot pot dishes, and a drug store to buy chips and beer. Head across the street and you are assaulted with several more fast food joints and some creepy stairs that takes you to a famous steakhouse and a hipster cafe. Up top there are chain restaurants like Olive Garden and Chili's but also some guy from Chicago that is trying to popularize real Chicago style hotdogs in a different city. I can go on and on with this because it is simply true. Without even getting into my car, I can jump from Mexican to Ethiopian to Hungarian to whatever kinds of foods. I live in the suburb of a moderately large city and I can easily find shiritaki noodles, Korean bean paste, ingredients for Thai soup, ancho chilis, and so on without even getting into my car. For instance, at the end of my street, there are several Russian markets and an Italian market. Oddly enough, I can get "imported" wild caught salmon from Alaska imported to the US from Russia and locally made sour cream from the Amish at the same store.

You might have missed something in the translation for English to Murican. Chocolate covered chips are what you would call chocolate covered crisps. You need to try one they are delicious. Try a chocolate covered hard pretzel while you are at it. What you call apple cider is fermented apple juice. Which is an alcoholic beverage. Here it is unfiltered juice from pressed apples. We call the alcoholic version hard cider.

Comfort food is different to every person. Food can be found in other states but each region is known for something specific. However, fried green tomatoes (as is chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy) are awesome. Key Lime Pie is addictive.

In Boston Massachusetts in the early years, it was against the law to serve lobster to your servants more than twice a week because it was considered food for animals, not for people.

I live in NJ, USA. I've eaten seafood all my life and never once have I gotten food poisoning. It's not the seafood, it's the people handling it that cause that issue. As far as shellfish - Go with Lobster, King Crab or Blue Crab, then freshwater - Crayfish/Crawdads/Mud Bugs/ Fresh Water Lobsters {all names for the same shellfish, and there's a few more names I didn't list} As far as Mollusks - Go with Scallops and bacon, Then Clams on the half shell, then Spaghetti and mussels As far as actual fish - Go with Salmon {lemon pepper Salmon is my fav}, then Mahi Mahi, then you can try some white fish like Flounder or talapia, and finally Catfish is very good

Fried green tomatoes are wonderful. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. We use cornmeal and we add spice.

I'm from Southern California (San Diego) and yes, fish tacos are amazeing. Made with light flakey white fish, shreaded cabbage which adds a bit of crisp, served in warm soft corn totillas... squeeze a little avacado sauce and fresh lime juice on top and mmmm, mmmm!!! Chefs kiss.

I have noticed a trend that UK KZfaqrs tend to be down of fish dishes. The US has many amazing fish dishes. New England, East coast, Southern / Caribean, West coast, Hawaii, Alaska, and all the rivers and lakes; all varieties of fish and crustecean dishes that are amazing. Don't dismiss the category! Impossible to pick one kind to try.

Chicken fried steak is something that always comforts the heart. And yes, it is grease constricting it, but it's totally worth it ❤

Comfort food is something you eat when feeling bleh, had a rough day and it feels like the food is giving you a nice even reasuring hug. 😊

As a Rhode Islander, I will say they got it right about the stuffies. Every summer I go down to the restaurants on the beaches and always order stuffies and clam chowder. Also, I always get doughboys (fried dough balls) at the beach. Doughboys are always a must.

Scrapple is not comfort food in Pennsylvania. Cheesesteaks are.

This video is more about popular foods in each state than it is about comfort foods. Comfort foods are what your mom made when you came in from a snowy, cold day or when you didn't feel well.

A lot of these dishes can be found in other states -- clam chowder is everywhere, for example. Coney Dogs are called "Michigan Dogs" in New York, and you can get them across swaths of the country. Peach and Key Lime pies can be found almost anywhere. Other dishes are very local, of course.

Blue crab and Dungeness crab are immediately dunked under boiling water and they die quickly. They have a hard shell so there is no way to stab them with a knife and kill them quickly like you can with a lobster. You don't just eat the legs from the crabs, you open the shell and they have lots of white meat, hard to get at, but very tasty with butter.

Comfort food is like a hug from mom and dad in food form. It’s got a bit of nostalgia and it’s always good.

There two main types of Clam Chowder: Manhattan {Red/tomato base} and New England {white/cream base}. There is also a Rhode Island variety that has a more clear base to it.

I’ll never understand why every video like this defaults to Clam Chowder for Massachusetts. I’m a native Massachusetts citizen and the only time I’ve seen it ordered at a restaurant was once by people visiting thinking they were getting a classic New England dish. Instead, by far the dish ordered most often by family that have moved away and came back to visit has been fried clams! Every one I know when they return beelines it to a clam shack for fried clams. My pick for Massachusetts would be entirely different. I would pick Chocolate Chip Cookies which were invented in Massachusetts and are wholly iconic American to the core!

For us Americans, comfort food refers to food you usually have at home, but really don’t make anymore because few people have the time to make these dishes.

Perhaps saying " the only time Ive eaten crab " rather than " the only time ive had crabs" might be a better way of saying it lol .

Comfort food is usually (but not always) a high-calorie food, though not necessarily sweet. It's a food that makes you happy when you eat it, often because it reminds you of loved ones, good times during childhood, or other happy memories.

My mom is a restaurateur. While I'm not as food educated, I have worked in her restaurants most my life. Typically for crab you do a knife right into its brain quick and painless cause if it dies in pain the meat stresses and tenses up. Not all of these are localized, but you're not gonna find pierogies or scrapple much outside PA.

definitely Deep-fried pickles. Jucy Lucy is cheese sealed between two Hamburger patties then cooked without the cheese melting out.

Comfort Food is something that comforts your soul, fills your belly & you fall asleep after eating. Louisiana here, ours should have been Gumbo ✌🏻

Scallops w/angel hair pasta sauteed in garlic butter with asparagus sun dried tomatoes, blackened corn with seasoning topped with cilantro, Halibut grilled, as well as salmon steak grilled, wait orange roughy grilled, grilled swordfish....and here in Las Vegas where restaurants are open 24 hours a day with awesome deals graveyard shifts meaning around 12am to 6am you can get 2-4 eggs pancakes bacon sausage and Hash browns for about $1.50 at local casinos not on the strip.. not too many all you can eat buffet's any more.. but

What foods are available where really depends on the food. But there is a noticible drop in quality the farther you get from the state the food is famous for.

Food ie "comfort" foods are usually brought to the family at the wake after the funeral to be shared with the guests present to pay their respects to the departed and the family and then to feed the fammily for several days after to eleminate their need to cook while mourning. Usually the most common items brought are casseroles like this ffuneral potatoes dish.

8:45 Have you never had grilled corn? Next time you cook burgers on the grill throw some corn on husk and all. keep turning it over hot coals until the husks have all burned off but one and you can see the kernels start to uncover... at least that's how I cook them close to the flames so the husks dry, burn, and smoke the corn as well as act like a built in timer. Wrap them in foil to rest with the burgers and you have sweet and smokey grilled corn.

Zucchini = courgette. Americans use the Italian word, Brits use the French. Don't ask me why.

Breaded tenderloin sandwiches are fantastic. Add some onion, pickles, mustard and ketchup. I’m originally from the Midwest and moved to Oregon for 10 years. I couldn’t find a tenderloin sandwich anywhere. Now I’m back in the Midwest and keep looking for new places to get them.

I'm from Georgia and you don't see very many peach pies! You can find alot of peach cobbler!

Just FYI with most of these foods it's not that you can't find them in other states but because of their popularity you're much more likely to find them in their home states. Just check a menu or if you see something close and have a chill chef (and the restaurant isn't busy) they'll probably add/take away whats needed to get as close as possible. As for the lobster roll there is a hot and a cold version and many debate which is better. Im a cold fan and yes I lived in MA for years but I get called out all the time saying hot is the only way to go. Either way a lobster roll will absolutely blow your tits off if and I must emphasize IF it prepared correctly and simply.

Most all of the foods can be found in most all of the states. This video was about the more popular dishes in each state. But as I said can be found across the country. What happens with this type of video is that they just have to find out usually where a specific food that still exists was invented or discovered or first made. And I'll tell you what it seems in America. At least how difficult it would be to only choose one comfort food per state when there's probably a dozen or a dozen and a 1/2 in each state.

I was born and raised in Pennsylvania and stayed there till I got married when I was 21 years old. So, for 21 years straight, I never heard of, not just ate, but never heard of Scrapple. Nobody I know from the state has heard of it either. What I would consider the comfort food of PA, is the Italian Hoagie. Kind of like a sandwich from Subway, it is a footlong loaf of Italian bread cut in half long-ways and has American cheese, Provolone cheese, Bologna, Ham, and Turkey, with Mayonnaise on top. You eat it like a big sandwich. That's what every school marching band/club around Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Hanover, and a couple other large cities would sell to fundraise field trips. Plus, there were loads of restaurants and shops selling them, including Giant Eagle, Sam's Club, and Walmart.

Funeral Potatoes are so versatile. Basically, they are hash brown potatoes, cream of something soup, sour cream and shredded cheese. Vary the soups and cheeses. Use add-ins like cubed ham, asparagus, broccoli, etc. Use frozen Potatoes O'Brien for a flavorful take or try Tater Tots. Go wild. Then there is the topping. Crushed crackers, potato chips, corn flakes, or tortilla chips with a bit of melted butter. Make and freeze ahead of time. Bake it at home and reheat at the gathering place. Make it vegetarian or carnivorous. Yum!

Chocolare covered pretzels are everywhere but flip over chocolate dipped potato chips... Okay here's one... you love a nice brown beef gravy on your mashed potatoes right? Try that gravy on your fries(chips) with some cheese. Poutine is what it is called. Smear some peanut butter on your pancake before putting the syrup on. Thats how you can tell if someone is really from New Hampshire/Vermont/Maine. Absolutely have crab again, and those Maryland crab cakes might be the easy in for ya. If you get the chance at a lobster roll take that chance. As a native Mainer it MUST be on a split top butter toasted bun, with just a touch of mayo and a squeeze of lemon. That is it... nothing else except maybe a touch of lettuce. Don't let someone sell you over complicated crap. New England Clam Chowder(white) and Manhattan Clam Chowder(contains tomatoes) are old american cuisine and have some mind blowingly good representation out there... but they are everywhere and not all of em are good. Don't despair and give it a second try sometime if the first isn't great.

Stuffies are a Rhode Island must but usually also have chorizo in them due to the large Portuguese community here.

The only way biscuits would be dry is if it went very wrong. Anyone would notice immediately. They are supposed to be a bit crunchy on the outside but like biting into a soft buttery cloud on the inside.

As a Colorado native, if you’ve never had green chili, you are missing out! It’s basically a stew with green chilis, jalapeños, tomatoes, onion, garlic and diced pork. Flour or corn starch used to thicken. Delicious! You can eat in a bowl or use it to smother other foods. I usually make shrimp chili rellenos and smother with green chili. I don’t put cilantro in or on mine but to each is own!

Idk what this video is talking about, but the most popular New Mexican comfort food is green chile stew. That meatball stew looks like some Las Cruses shit.

Biscuits n' gravy, clam chowder, beans n greens w/cornbread, pecan pie, peach cobbler, breakfast burritos...and much much more!

As a Georgia girl I've never made a peach pie, but I have made a lot of peach cobbler, pecan pie, and especially fried green tomatoes. Yum!

Two kinds of dumplings (other than the Asian kind): Biscuit dough and pasta dough. I thought you were going to cry at that peach pie! Here comfort food is something that comforts you, that sets off good childhood memories, and often something that warms you up when the weather is cold and nasty. Seafood question: For crustaceans, go with shrimp because they're accessible and not nearly as expensive as Maine lobster. For sea fish, salmon every day, either uncooked on sashimi or smoked and added to any kind of sandwich. For lake fish, tilapia is very mild and won't blow your brain, but southern fried catfish is freaking amazing! I love pancakes for breakfast, and yes, I usually have them with eggs, sausage and hashbrowns. It's a huge meal to start your day off right without getting hungry halfway through it. Zucchini = courgette. Both lobster and crab are boiled alive. Some people knock their heads and kill them first. I've never done either, keeping it to the restaurant staff to handle that. Checkered paper comes from traditional gingham cloth that was often used for tea towels and little girl's dresses. They used to put a scrap of gingham under handheld foods, then wash it. But now they use disposable papers that are printed with that design. (I have a picture of myself as a baby somewhere wearing a little gingham dress.) Funeral potatoes: Often there will be a reception following a funeral, and that reception is usually potluck, with everyone bringing a dish so that there's enough food for everyone, and the bereaved don't have to cook for however many showed up. This dish was often brought to such receptions and picked up that name as a result. Apple cider: There are two kinds in America. The one you're thinking of (because you're Scottish) is hard cider. The other kind is non-alcoholic, unfiltered apple juice, often paired with mulling spices and served hot. Bye, son! (And you thought the curds were cheesy!) Don't know if you're a baker, or if you can get fresh peaches there, but if so, here's a peach pie recipe for you to try! (not affiliated) sallysbakingaddiction.com/peach-pie-recipe/

As a Utahn I can confirm that funeral potatoes are indeed eaten at funerals. Everyone has their own version, but they are one of my favorites to eat even if not at a funeral. 😋

Foods in certain States: It varies. Some foods originated in certain States but quickly spread across the Country. Certain geographic areas have versions of the same food. Like BBQ for instance. You will find BBQ just about everywhere in the States but certain areas, like the Carolinas, Texas, Kansas and the East Coast will all lay claim to their own "style" of BBQ from sickening sweet to super spicy and vinegary, etc. Louisiana has it's creole cooking and although you may find it in other places, there's nothing like Louisiana creole. Also the Philly Cheesesteak.. you can go other places in the country and they'll have what they call a Philly Cheesesteak on their menu.. but you have to go to Philly or South Jersey if you want a real Philly Cheesesteak. If you want really good Tex/Mex.. you have to go to Texas. If you want Fru Fru Throw Up Food.. go to California

Peach pie and cherry pie are my two favorite pies. But I was raised by Latvian parents, so my favorite comfort dessert is semolina porridge, which is cooked with a sweet and tart fruit juice, typically cranberry, but my mom used one mixed with grape juice. the cooked cream of wheat is whipped with an electric beater until all the graininess dissapears, and it turns into a mousse. Then it's chilled, and covered with a puddle of custard sauce before you dig in. It's called "Heavenly Manna"

10:37 A smart friend from NY once asked the server at a Midwest restaurant we were at what freshwater fish was available. Seafood depends on where you are. New England = lobster. Pacific Northwest is crab and salmon. Gulf coast is shrimp and crawfish. Inland is trout. Great Lakes is walleye, bass, pike.

4:03 “Something Shrek would eat” 🤣 That’s a new one and I only have 3 US friends so I hear a lot of different ways people describe our food 😂

Born, raised, and currently living in Missouri. I can assure you that T-Ravs (Toasted Ravioli) are absolutely AMAZING. There are grocery stores that sell them frozen and come in either beef or three/four cheese varieties, but they are absolutely better when homemade. The quick shortcut is to buy a bag of regular frozen ravioli, thaw them out, and toss them in egg and breadcrumbs and use a good jarred marinara sauce. Also, Chicken and Dumplings are a HUGE staple in the south and are amazing to eat as well.

As soon as peach pie popped up, I started to smell peaches, I don't have any peaches in my house, so I appearently smelt it through the screen of my phone.

It varies on how widespread cuisine is. Biscuits are like soft pillowy inside and slightly crunchy exterior.

Fried green tomatoes sounds odd, but they are SO good. Especially if fried in bacon grease. Lobster resembles crab in taste, but the texture is different. I'd suggest monkfish with drawn butter or catfish, or shrimp, but make sure they season the shrimp AND the batter. You could probably get most of these dishes in most local restaurants, just unlikely to be as good, unless it's on the menu.... exceptions sea/ocean and lake foods. Not all. But many I think unless they just don't have the ingredients. Buckeyes - think Resees cups - but better.

Here in WV “funeral” potatoes go by “cheesy” or “scallop” potatoes as well as funeral… it just depends on the family. Also they’re made with shredded or diced potatoes. I make mine with diced potatoes, family size can of cream of chicken, a whole small onion diced, 16 oz of sour cream, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a ton of shredded cheddar. I leave off the corn flakes. But bread crumbs can be nice.

Utah here: funeral potatoes got their name because mormon funerals are also typically a potluck affair. You make a huge ammount of one food item and bring it to the funeral for the whole neighborhood to share. Theyre a staple at weddings and other parties too. Hot tip: add dill , green onion and black pepper, and skip the crumbled topping. Thats my moms recipe and she had the best one in the neighborhood for years. The other relief society ladies got pissed at her because hers were better than theirs and they always got left with an oversized pan of leftovers 😂

I have lived in Pennsylvania all my life and I have literally never seen or heard of anyone eating scrapple. On the other hand pierogi or haluski were insanely popular to the point they were on our school lunch menus.

Mate, Alaskan king crab is the most expensive item of all 50 here. Depending on where you live in the States, 1 American pound (~453g) will run anywhere between $50 and $85 (~39 to 68 British Pounds), so if you're ever fed Alaskan king crab for free, you are basically eating money. The only other thing that I know comes close to it is Ossetra black caviar which is not American but still amazing. + Who tf gave you a hard time for pairing pancakes with scrambled eggs? That is a classic in all of America. Pickles are amazing when fried. Fries (chips) are amazing dipped in milkshake just like Brits do with mayo. Lastly, almost everything is better when dipped in chocolate and/or fried like ice cream and cheese. Try chocolate-covered bacon (fried even) - life changer. Cheers.

My absolute all-time favorite comfort food is not on this list. And that comfort food is Beef Stew! If anyone who watched this video agrees with me, let me know.

Funeral potatoes are similar to a hashbrown casserole, but yeah when people bring food for funerals mainly casseroles so the grieving don't have to cook, they are delicious. We make them on holidays

funeral potatoes, party potatoes, or cheesy potatoes are all different regional names for the dish like cornhole v. baggo. everyone's got a different family recipe. in my experience, the term funeral potatoes comes from a formal funeral + wake where people give sympathy to family members of the deceased, who are at the funeral home all day. there is usually a back room/kitchenette for said family members to excuse themselves where there is usually a spread of food, potluck style. some people even get funerals catered. it's also a way to make sure grieving people feed themselves. anyway if you're in the midwest having a potluck, gathering, or holiday meal, keep an eye out for the funeral potatoes cuz you blink and they're gone.

Fried green tomatoes are a staple in autumn, THEY ARE DELICIOUS!!!

Living in Texas all my life, I choose a good Texas Steak and a loaded baked potato over chili every day! Chili is a winter food and South Texas doesn't have much winter. So give me a Rib Eye or even chicken fried steak and I'm happy!! Texas is a beef state! Roast beef, beef stew, chicken fried steak, beef BBQ, hamburgers, beef steak!!! Yes, chili is beef, but not a first or even second choice!

them putting chicago style pizza instead of italian beef for illinois is actually insane

@16:15 yess but it just looks like fried bologna which i love with muster, cheese and fried egg

Stuffies - This is the first time that I have ever heard this term, let alone that this is a Rhode Island food. We've had Stuffed Clams here in New Jersey ever since I can remember. Very tasty but expensive for what you get.

Comofort food does NOT mean snack food lol I love your confused face for normal food items 😂 Only advice I can give you...don't let ONE person/place ruin crab and/or seafood for you. Go to a place you trust or make it at home. Find a reputable fish monger & go ask questions. They'll take care of you 💜

Funeral Potatoes are basically potato au gratin. Some potatoes are cubed or sliced and turned into a casserole, to put it simply. Quick, easy, and great for gatherings. Found at funerals quite often here in Utah.

I make a few comfort foods at home for my family and all from scratch. Blueberry buttermilk hotcakes (pancakes cooked in bacon grease), sausage gravy with buttermilk biscuits, fried chicken with honey mustard BBQ sauce, and smoked brisket. Absolutely delicious!

First and Foremost Crabs are delicious. Fried green tomatoes are a staple in the whole of the Southern USA. Southern Fried Chicken, Yams, Iced tea and Peach Cobbler. That's REAL comfort foods. Our comfort foods are why we are the most fat Country. Never heard of funeral potatoes..EVER!

When you got sick after eating crabs, you said food poisoning.. just curious if you have ever been tested for shell fish allergy ...Crab Cakes are delicious here in Maryland by the way ...Don't let one bad crab meal turn you off of trying others..

Great video, loved your reactions. No lie, I was going to watch this during my lunch hour (I was in the office today) and its a good thing I didn't because looking at that peach pie, I would have gone over to the Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia (just across the street) and bought a peach pie. Comfort food for me is potatoes (mashed, baked, fried, boiled) and cake with occasional ice cream. Crabs and lobsters are bottom feeders. Lobsters, crabs, and shrimp aka prawns (crustaceans) are of a similar family to roaches. No thank you! My Dad would always order crab cakes if we went to a restaurant and they were on the menu. Chicken and dumplings in South New Jersey is called "Chicken Pot-Pie" which is far more of a comfort food for South Jersey (which is all of New Jersey below New Brunswick) than Pork Roll. I thought that chocolate covered potato chips (crisps) was madness until I tried them. They are so good. Scrapple is not a go to comfort food, its an acquired taste. In Philly, we love our cheesesteaks and our soft pretzels.

My grandma taught me how to cook from a very young age. She was from Oklahoma, and dinners were always a comfort food. She taught me how to bake her delicious peach pie, but my ultimate perfect work of art in your mouth is boysenberry pie, (boysenberries are a cross between raspberries and blackberries, fat and juicy 😋). Burnt ends, ooh whee! Tasty! With a smooth mash topped with brown gravy, homemade dinner rolls, with home churned butter, and an ear of hot corn, slathered with home churned butter pulls it all together. I love to cook and grandma taught me well. 😁 Prime rib in Nevada is awesome. I live in Las Vegas, NV. I've yet to get a bad slab of prime rib. 😋

Some of them are regional and only available in certain places, but others are available everywhere. Scrambled eggs and pancakes are totally normal here. Sweet and salty is awesome. The crabs are either boiled or steamed before they are broken down, and yes they're alive when the cooking process starts.

24:58 Adam..... If you ever had a REAL ham biscuit, I mean like from someone in Virginia or North Carolina that actually knows how to make them, you would fall over dead and be the happiest youve ever been! There is just nothing better than the perfect ham biscuit, well maybe except an egg cheese and HAM biscuit!

They're all lovely. The "shrimp" in the jambalaya is crawfish. A freshwater crustacean. Really, any of the fish dishes in this video are good. Most of them can be found all over. It's just started in those states and they're the best at preparing them. Chicken fried steak is also wonderful in a sandwich.
