Bonjour Marie! Yeah, I could tell that the place mostly did Southern US food not specifically Louisiana food. I did see some Louisiana dishes, but mostly it seemed more "Southern" than "Louisiana" with the chicken and waffles (which many say comes from South Carolina, but was actually first invented in Pennsylvania,) the Nashville Hot style (Tennessee,) and the Yams (the majority of yams eaten in the US are grown in North Carolina.) The fair food looked amazing, and I bet it smelled incredible with the meats and fries cooking outside like that, lol! Thanks for sharing! Hi Marie's Mom! Bonne journee! ~Be Blessed

Chicken & waffles in the US would typical have waffle syrup. But when in France . . .

Real yams are grown in Africa and are/were a dietary staple. When enslaved Africans were brought to the U.S., there were no actual yams here but the closest things were sweet potatoes. So they prepared them in the style of yams and they came to be known as such in the states. But if you look up African yams they are much larger and colored/shaped differently.

In the US, the people who sell donuts take the punched out centers and sell them as 'donut holes' Same stuff, just bite size. Belgum donuts look to be about 3 times bigger.

Nice seeing you and your mom out having fun. Can't wait to see where next! Have fun and be safe. Thanks for the video.

That was great with your Mom. I feel she's warming up to the camera more. Looking forward to the next one.

Here I am in Nashville watching a girl in France looking at menu that has Nashville hot 🔥 chicken! 😂

Hi Mom....❤ Excited to see where you are taking us next Marie. WoooHooo. Stay safe and stay healthy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Special finds in Paris and close to home, all looks great.

Gumbo originally was whatever you happen to have on hand thrown into the pot, and hush puppies was just for keeping the dogs happy during the meal.

Great Video and always nice to see you and your Mom enjoying yourselves and laughing! Your friend was wrong about the Yams. Sweet Potatoes and Yams are actually different even though they look kind of similar. Yams are firmer, drier, and have a rougher dark bark like skin, and light colored flesh inside that's less sweet and more starchy. Sweet Potatoes have a more golden/copper colored skin, and the flesh inside is sweeter and orange colored. The ones you were eating were actually Sweet Potatoes with the orange coloring they had. Most places mistakenly call them Yams but they aren't.

At the Minnesota State Fair there is a french fry stand that goes through 400,000 pounds (180,000 kg) of potatoes in 12 days.

The chicken waffle sandwich looked delicious❤

U should go to Baton Rouge on an saturday night to see a LSU football game. 100k in the stadium, 300k outside the stadium partying and tailgating, best cajun food ever because real cajuns are cooking! Also hear the cajun french being spoken!

if you're heading to New Orleans you have to do the 53 restaurant food crawl that Homer Simpson made so famous when he did all of them in a day. unfortunately, i doubt King cake will be on a menu when you get there as its only a Mardi grai thing. but definitely Commander's Palace, Cafe Du Monde, and Brennan's for Banana Foster. you also shouldn't miss Willie Mae's Scotch house. unfortunately the original burned down in a big fire but the restaurant has been operating out of a satellite restaurant until the old building gets fixed up and modernized.

Bonjour, Marie. Yams are in the Lilly family and come from Africa. Sweet potatoes are related to marigolds and from the Americas. In the US, they are pretty much interchangeable as most people can't tell the difference. Say hello to your mom.

It is great to see your mother becoming a Y tuber.

So much fun with you and your Mom - just wonderful!! 🥰🤗 Both restaurants were very interesting, and I will send you my thoughts! 😎😍

Thank you for taking us with you! ❤ I wondered if the soul food restaurant in Paris "Frenchified" soul food like America does with Mexican food. Thanks for explaining that it was. It looked delicious, and i guess it was cuz you ate it all lol 😋 The food at the French restaurant looked amazing and so does your mom! Love from the U.S. 💝

Marie, the chicken waffle must have been good because you ate it all! Also, the place at the fair in your hometown looked like some southern US BBQ. I was in France last November, tracing my roots for a few days before doing a river boat tour in Bordeaux and visiting Paris. My roots journey took me from Pau to Lembeye. On the way back to Pau, we stopped in Arzacq-Arraziguet. We had lunch at the Café Des Sports. We had 5 course meal including the chef's award winning cabbage soup which included a ham hock or pork knuckle. There were 3 of us but unlike you, we could not eat it all. My favorite food anywhere is where locals eat. Thank you for your exciting videos.

Hard to beat chicken and waffles together...and both covered in maple syrup.

Your plate of food at the fair looked sooo good! Perfect timing to make me hungry for dinner. 😋I can't wait to see this secret place that you're going next week!

Thank you 🙏 mom 👩 and daughter 👵👏👏👏🌹👍🎥

Very cool. It all looked very good and I had never thought of using waffles as the bun. Cool. Have fun and as always be safe. 🤠

Just had a bit of dinner...how can I be hungry again? Your video is so appetizing!! 😀

Don't forget to ride the streetcar. The Garden District has some beautiful homes, cemetaries, universities, parks, and history (consult your computer).

The Dutch doughnuts remind me a little of beignets in Louisiana, but without the powdered sugar and a different shape.

You look like a younger version of your Mum, she's beautiful! I love that you eat what you want, I'm so used to picky eaters. The Louisiana food is heavenly, you should try shrimp étouffée, it's one of my favourite Cajun dishes.

I like to guess where you are going next. So far I have been 100% incorrect. But that has not stopped me yet! So, I predict Scandinavia. (That gives me 3 or 4 countries in one pick - Norway, Denmark, Sweden but some include Finland). The video of the roasting meat at the fair impressed me! That is something Americans can appreciate. 🇫🇷🇺🇸🍟🧇🐔

Can’t wait to see you in Louisiana- getting to see all the French influence and enjoying all the food there. It would be great to see you trying to talk with someone speaking cajun French!

That’s some pretty good looking BBQ for France. I’m impressed

Great video as usual girl! 👍

Hi Marie. Enjoyed this video. Mustang coming out with the 7th generation soon. Pictures of it on internet. Looks good. Safe travels always.

I grew up in S.E. Texas. The "yams" that you had are "dark skinned sweet potatoes" but they ARE what we in the South call "yams". They are sweeter than other sweet potatoes & yams. At holiday dinners it's common to have sweet potatoes baked in a casserole dish with a sugary glaze & melted marshmallows on top. My favorite gumbo is "Gumbo Ya Ya" which is a chicken & sausage gumbo. My favorite restaurant where I order gumbo ya ya is at Mr. B's Bistro on Royal St. in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I also have to have one of their famous "Brandy Milk Punches" made with vanilla ice cream. It's like a vanilla milk shake with a kick!

Good video Marie. Looking forward to your next adventure.

Your English is perfect and waiting for you to come back

Wow, that looks really good.

Always go for the gumbo when you have the chance, but usually in a bowl

Hi 👋 Miss Marie !!! I Hope you had A Great time in Spain & your back in France Hope the Farmers protests are not being too Destructive !!! As always the like button ✅ has been Illuminated 😁. Wish your Mom Happy Mother's Day 💐 which is getting very close 😊. Thanks for showing us Around & Allowing us to tag Along 🤗👍👍😎🌍 Note : I Have Noticed the Channel Brit Reacts ( L3WG )has been using your videos watching Along As well ( FYI )

Everything looks tasty 😋

Those waffles look so good. Btw, because of your videos, every time I drive or park at a store, I am looking for mustangs. Living in the U.S., I see at least one almost 75% of the time I am out driving. :)

The food prices have skyrocketed in NOLA the past couple of years. I suggest we contribute to the cause the next couple of weeks because many are underestimating that costs in New Orleans now. Also many places will allow a split on 1 gumbo order where you can share a single order with your companion. There are in general 2 types of gumbo: 1) thinner with a lighter rue, and 2) thick like molasses with a much heavier rue, take the soupier one. The food is so tasty but so heavily spiced that visitors need to take care and have a day off or intersperse with light and healthy (especially stomachs from overseas). This is the Sazerac and Hurricane capitol. Try a Sazerac (drink) to say you've done it. Hurricanes (drink=dangerous) are for those who want to get splashed unawares--potent and hangover. Try the turtle soup at the better restaurants if offered, it is delicious.

Never seen anyone eat a burger or sandwich with a knife and fork. If ever in the southern states in the US, please try the sweet potato pie. It's fantastic. Hope to see you down here when you're in the states. Enjoyed the video.

Interesting comments on the difference between the french palate vs american south tastes. True. Don't go to Paris thinking you're in the south! The palate is entirely different. Bonjour, Marie 🖐Wisconsin😅

That waffle sandwich and sweet potatoes looked delicious but the food at the fair looked out of this world good. You and your mom looks so much alike. Two sweet ladies.😊

The waffle chicken burgers looked great. The pork you had reminded me of a German dish, Schweinhaxen, pig hocks, haven't had them in years

Cajun food like Gumbo and Jambalaya are native to Louisiana! You absolutely can’t miss dirty rice with ground beef, pork or turkey! 😊

You seem like a fun and interactive person to chat with

Chicken and waffles has been around for a long time in the South. It looked good though.The fair looked fun and the meat looked like rotisserie + flame? Looks as though everyone had a good time. Did you try the Nashville Hot chicken--that is really hot and spicy (can be painful at the highest level).

The fair looked like fun! Loved the behinds the scene look at the BBQ at the fair. Looking forward to your next video. Thank you for the video.

The word pineapple comes from a British English translation in 1568 of a book by a French explorer of Brazil. Americans didn't name it. The Oxford English Dictionary's first record of the word pineapple itself by an English writer is by Mandeville in 1714. You se the scientific name Ananas comosus, which comes from the same translation from the Tupi word nanas, meaning 'excellent fruit'.

Pretty cool how the first restaurant put all those Hip Hop artists on the menu like that. I saw UGK, MF DOOM, Missy Elliot, Queen Latifah, and Rick Ross on there

Yams and Sweet Potatoes are subtlety different. Both root vegetables but are different in color texture and makeup.

Nice spots. The food looks great 👏

Marie, it's always fun seeing you go out and find southern foods. I can understand why a lot of French people would think that the food is too different and want him to alter it. The Waffle Burger sounds awesome and I've never had one, but now that I've seen it, I'll add it to my options! It made me laugh a little when you took a fork and knife to it. I fully expected you to pick the thing up with your hands and take a big bite out of it like a Velociraptor! 🤣 Southern cooking is slowly growing in Europe though, so hopefully it'll be more readily available to you. It's awesome seeing you out with your mom having fun and trying different things. I couldn't help but smile when she was laughing at you as you were trying to find your words. I can understand how difficult it must be switching between languages, especially more than two. I look forward to seeing you off on another adventure. Knowing you, it'll be someplace hot, as that's what you tend to gravitate to. Regardless, I hope you have an awesome day, and always keep smiling!

Your English is fantastic! You rarely mispronounce anything and when you do, it is très charmant!

Wishing luck to your country’s farmers

I bet you needed a nap after eating all that food! 😴 I'm definitely in the mood for some chicken and waffles now before the weekend is over! Also, I would have handled that fair food like Asterix & Obelix would.. with my hands! 🍗 Looking forward to seeing where you will be next week! Cheers! 🍻 🌎 ✈️ ⚜️

Hi Mom Francias 👋

The sandwich didn't look too bad! I prefer my chicken and waffles spicy with lots of maple or breakfast syrup. The best I had was at French Toast off Decantur Street in New Orleans. I also like it from Metro Diner (Florida diner chain.) Bon appétit! :)

Marie is such a sweetie.! But she's gonna get plump eating all the food from everywhere.! 😅

Okay Marie, I sent them to you!! 🤗😊🥰

I love your french vlog all the way from Palo alto California

9:49 "nougat" same word, pronounced with the "t" though in English.

Unfortunately, that is not Chicken & Waffles. Next time you visit the U.S., go to Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles in Los Angeles (on Gower street).

Watching you eat all that food made me hungy.

Wish I had smellavision for all those flavors at the fair. You should have tried some syrup on your waffles. : )

If you can , try Jambalaya or Filé Gumbo.

CAJUN AND ZYDECO NIGHTS FESTIVAL AT SAULIEU from Mar 3rd 2024

Hey 😋 Bon Appetite Marie & Mom , It looks like a popular hot spot , finger lickin good , anythings on the menu as long as there's some chicken. ,the size of those 🧇 crispy & sweet, it's creative whoever it was that included Burgers ( 1920's) & it's like there's no limit when it comes to toppings , whatever you fancy. Believe it or not fried chicken came to America from Scottish immigrants , black folks spiced it up alongside collard greens , south Carolina's state Vegetable. Soul food been passed down over many generations but the term was first coined in 62 by poet & civil rights activist Amiri Baraka , some after Sylvia restaurant opened up in Harlem. What I wanna know is how come they're wasn't any Gumbo 🥘 , kinda disappointing , you could both try cooking up your own ( without any secret recipe) if you get the Roux just right. It's gonna be amazing if you get invited to a Gumbo party in the big easy. Your hometown fair sizzling , they sure know how to put on a BBQ that would make even a Kenyan nomad 'nyama choma' ( there crusine been influenced by france) proud , that's a crazy amount of fries , it all looks so filling , your mom was enjoying those 🥯 ain't they also known as pancake balls ( Aebleskiver)& traditionally served at Christmas , it weird that it translate as Apple slices but doesn't have any. It been marvelous like always, with all those close ups I'm hungry now. Before I go I wanted to mention there's a few people recently like Andre from European reacts , I believe he's from Portugal & L3WG have been promoting your American videos . Wot about Austin brown leaving home free , will they continue without him , maybe bring somebody in new , he did a live stream all about last week. Finally hopefully you got our donation , I'll send more during march 🐰 & the wanderlust website on southern France towns proved useful , watch out for any downpours & take care while while driving , Thanks Marie , catch you later have a Fantastic week 😊 💕 ✌️ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d9SJm5WauLuqe40.htmlsi=3hFS7zuLlRQgA_mr kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n5x4m8ubz5bVioE.htmlsi=ZCK30aphMRNMXnxT

If you get NOLA please check out a restaurant called Mothers.

I learned long ago that any kind of Louisiana staple is super sketchy if not actually from Louisiana.

Nitpick, that BBQ looked more like grilling/rotisserie to me. For proper BBQ, it shouldn't be out in the air (and flames!) like that, but slow cooked in a smoker.

Tiffanie Davis brought me here

Whoa, those are American sized portions!

All English on the storefront?! I'm surprised the authorities haven't taken quick, decisive steps to close it down.

Laissez les bons temps rouler. Oh non, ce n'est pas de la nourriture du Sud ou du Cajun

Bring your mother on some of your trips.

Yams and sweet potatoes are not the same thing.

Try this food in America

Curious? The Brits call them chips, Americans call them French fries, only chips when we order fish and chips. Do the French actually call them French fries?

That will fatten you up!❤

coleslaw is german, meaning cabbage salad

How much American style food has made it to France.

I'm 99% sure Waffle Burgers have existed for many years, although are very uncommon. I just know if seen mention of them somewhere before, from years ago. It does seem to me that at least standard waffles wouldn't hold up very well and would disintegrate quickly as the burger juices soaked in. You'd have to overcook the waffles deliberately.

No syrup?

The French word for yam translates to "country banana"? I think the only weirder thing I've heard is for cotton candy.

Chicken & Waffles was a fad in the US about 5 years ago. You can still find Tennessee Hot Chicken (a newer fad) on waffles at IHOP.

The whole point of Chicken and Waffles is to mix sweet and savory...I guess you missed the whole point totally. Where was the maple syrup?

Yams are not sweet potatoes.

Waffle burger!? That's not Southern food. Chicken and waffles are served with maple syrup and maybe some pecans. No cheese!

Nobody in America calls a yam a country banana. Nobody

If any man wants to know what you will look like when you get older, just point to your mother. I can see the resemblance clearly.

I didn't see anything burger-ish about the waffle burger.

Pull up your sleeves and eat it by hands

Marie, le problème avec le restaurant Gumbo Yaya c'est peut-être plus que tout est écrit en Anglais sur l'édifice et en partie dans le menu. Si il essayait d'ouvrir un restaurant identique ici au Québec, il ne l'aurait jamais ouvert, nous avons des lois pour préserver le Français et ça inclut les signes et écritos sur les édifices. Je ne veux pas être négatif, mais il faut s'adapter à l'environnement et la langue parlée dans celui-ci, c'est ce qu'on appelle le respect. Superbe vidéo ;)!

I'm sorry but I just don't get the whole chicken and WAFFLE thing.

Only thing is you gotta eat it with your hands, no knife or fork

As an American it is amusing to see how it is marketed. "Soul food" is what black people in the North U.S. call Southern food. Their ancestors came from the South and of course cooked that food and somehow in the 1960's black people in Northern cities started calling it Soul Food. It is not called that by people who are from the South

So French Donuts Beignets And French Fries Are Not From France! "SACREBLEU!" Also Not French 😂
