When you said “ I’ve never had tacos,” I made an audible gasp. 😂

Queso = Cheese in Spanish. In Tex-Mex it specifically refers to Melted Cheese which is usually a Blanco (White) Cheese. As much as you loved the Texas BBQ video, and you say you haven't had Tacos before your first trip to the U.S. should be to here in Texas! Austin for the BBQ, San Antonio for the Tacos/Tex-Mex, and then here to Houston to dive in to the Seafood, and Cajun/Creole food! BTW I had Enchiladas yesterday for lunch, and Tamales this morning for Breakfast.

There are several types of mole (pronounced mole-aye) sauces, each complex and delicious in it's own right. Mole's can be so sacred there are families who have been passing down the last bit of each mole to start the next one (much like a baker uses sourdough starter to make the next batch) for over a century. Edit: When Josh was talking about the mole being a chocolaty sauce, he just picked up on the one ingredient that people don't expect to be in it unless they know. Mole Negro (one of the many types) is made with peppers, spices, tomatoes, nuts, fruits and seeds as well as a small amount of dark chocolate. Several chilis in the USA are also made with a small amount of dark chocolate.

I had to stop the vid to reply. "I've never had tacos.." My heart sank at these four words. I am so grateful to be an American and an Arizonan. Whenever you are ready brother, reach out!

i was born in Texas, and raised in a Tejano community. Tejanos are people of Mexican (or mixed Mexican/Native) descent who have lived in the Texas area for hundreds of years. many still speak spanish at home. the first person to hold me other than a doctor, nurse or parents was Abuelita Riojas. i tell you all this for a reason... this food (i refer to it as "Texican") is my comfort food. when i am feeling sick or homesick, this is what i crave." it's not simply a cuisine. it's a community, a mindset, a way of life. but the food itself is a good way -- a first step -- to begin understanding the people better and open doors for better communication.

queso is spanish for cheese, so its cheese dip. we just shorten queso dip to just queso. the dip is already implied.

Dude. I've been a chef here in the south USA for over 18 years. It hurt me to hear you say you've never had a taco before...if the wife and I ever travel to Slovakia , I'm making tacos and our award winning chili so you and yours can enjoy authentic tex-mex chili and tacos.

The green sauce (salsa verde) is made from tomatillos and is delicious. Here's the Wiki first paragraph: The tomatillo (Physalis philadelphica and Physalis ixocarpa), also known as the Mexican husk tomato, is a plant of the nightshade family bearing small, spherical, and green or green-purple fruit of the same name.[1] Tomatillos originated in Mexico and were cultivated in the pre-Columbian era.[2] A staple of Mexican cuisine, they are eaten raw and cooked in a variety of dishes, particularly salsa verde. The tomatillo is a perennial plant but is generally grown for agriculture each year as if it were an annual.

there is really 4 sub genres of Americanized Mexican food. Obviously you have Tex Mex, then there is New Mexican which is from New Mexico my mom was from Albuquerque so I am really familiar with New Mexican, which is really heavily influenced by The Hopi/Zuni/Navajo and other four corners indigenous peoples. Then there is Sonoran, which is more Arizonan and then southern Cali/Baja more of seafood based aka fish tacos. They are ALL good and now I want some Enchiladas Chile Rellenos and some Sopapillas right now

Mole' is a savory (not sweet) chocolate sauce with Mexican seasoning.

God I love being a Texan!!! Between the BBQ and the Tex-Mex it's almost unfair to the rest of the planet. Then you have seafood ,Mexican food,Cajun/Creole, and Good old Southern cooking. The so called pandemic was some of the worst years in my life....going out to eat became a real chore.

I will have to send you a cook book for Tex Mex food. When you said you have never had tacos I cried tears for you. Bless you my child!

The green dish is made with a type of green tomatoes called tomatillos

“I’ve never had tacos” 💔. As someone who lives in Arizona and shares a border with Mexico, I felt that in my soul… also salsa verde is far superior IMO. Give me all the tomatillo

Mole is... uh... an experience if you've never had it. You will find as many recipes for mole as you will abuelas (grandmothers) in Southern Texas. It's like the Indian curry of Mexico. Lots of spices and ingredients, but every household does things a little bit differently.

When you come to visit America you should check out the state of New Mexico. Our Mexican food has been influenced by the Navajo Indians. Our green chilies are grown in Hatch NM you will fall in love with our food. The world's largest Indian POWWOW is just ending, this is the 20th year of this celebration. ❤😊

My hubby's watching with me, and when he says his now famous "I've never had tacos" line hubby's "Whhhaaat??!!" could be heard in the next building. Then he deadpan says "I've never had lettuce.... I've never had chicken..." as equally incomprehensible things someone might say. Cracked me up so much had to stop it, to write this comment. Jono, we'd love to treat you to fabulous foods you've been missing out on. Just add our town to your USA tour and it'll be our treat!

Being a native Texan, it tickles me watching these guys try all this. It is really good. Dont think I could live without Tex-Mex and BBQ.

Jolly's entire Texas series is their best yet

And every good Mexican and Tex-Mex restaurant gives you the chips and salsa starters for free.

If you want to check out a different flavor of Brit trying American food you haven't seen before, check out Shaun from Scotland trying New Orleans cuisine for the first time! Check out the one where he's visiting Mother's Restaurant in New Orleans, it's a good one.

Queso = cheese.

Being originally from south Texas I like my enchiladas Tex Mex. They are beefy, cheesy, with lots of onions. There’s got to be some grease on the plate. Tex Mex has slowly vanished as too many people are coming from California and other places and bringing their style in which is milder. Tacos and hamburgers are my favorite. I’d kill for a Whataburger. The guys have a video of eating there.

Fish tacos are my thing. Steamed or grilled soft white corn tortilla, usually two, a big greasy piece of grilled or fried ocean white fish, finely shredded raw cabagge, thinly diced raw onion, cilantro leaves, fresh chopped tomatoes or tomatillo salsa, squeeze of lime, avacado, if you like, hot sauce, sure, lots of options. I'm not too fussy. At a stand here, one and a can of soda for $5, three and a bottle of soda for $10. I like one to walk, or three to take home. So good, but I can barely eat three.

My Mom used to make mole with a Dona Maria mole sauce. She added chilies and spices and was the best chicken mole. Queso is cheese.

This poor poor man has never had Queso....or Tacos...sniff sniff....holding back tears.

The green sauce with the enchilada is probably either tomatillo or green chile. Both are delicious. I wish they served them tres leche cake for dessert. That would have really helped with the heat. I know you prefer BBQ, but you can't eat that every day, too rich. But I can eat tacos practically every day! Or enchiladas!

There’s nothing like authentic tacos. We discovered a great Taqueria (place that sells tacos) a few years ago and we absolutely love it. Tacos al pastor. Yum.

The green enchiladas are like nothing you've had before because the green comes from the small green tomato looking fruit called tomatillos. Like an avocado has a mild fresh flavor that can't be replicated by a different fruit, these are the same way. They blend cooked tomatillos with cilantro and other spices and put it over tortillas filled with Shredded chicken and Mexican cheeses Queso Oaxaca and Queso Fresco. You'd like it. Fresh and spicy.😊

the “never had tacos” I almost passed out from that. But you have tacos once…you wont say no to them ever.

Queso is the Spanish word for cheese. In this case, the queso is melted and used for dipping and covering other foods.

Queso is just Spanish for cheese. Generally, when they say queso in a restaurant, it's generally a melted cheese dip made with some milky white cheese and little bits of finely chopped pickled jalapeno. A mole is a sauce that takes a long time and many ingredients to do well. There are many types of mole depending on the region where they originated. One of the main mole sauces from Oaxaca (they have seven!) is rather sweet in a raisin-y sort of way. The mole from Puebla is based around mild but tasty poblano peppers. Mole blanco, or white mole, is made mostly from various nuts and is quite sneaky spicy. Some of them have chocolate melted into the sauce. Some use seeds, some use tomatillos, some use different kinds of chilis. All of them have very complex flavor.

I had Tex-Mex for lunch today. Camarones a la diabla. Shrimp in a spicy red sauce. And a frozen margarita. So good.

I'm sure it has already been suggested, but you should watch Brits try everything at a Texas Rodeo

I guarantee those green enchiladas were unbelievable, if I could have one item it would be them, but also everything they ate looked top-notch. The green sauce comes from tomatillos, which are native to Mexico, and they're often roasted and blended with peppers to make an unbelievable salsa which you see in enchiladas or on tacos. Tex-Mex is great, it's one of my favorite comfort meals. Chips, queso, and guacamole for appetizer, combo platter with green enchiladas, beans, and rice, with a margarita. Oh yea

Josh takes big bites because he went to university in Seoul Korea and spent some time living there. It's in their culture to layer their foods into one big bite. The reasoning behind this is to experience each layer of food, all in one. They also will use a type of lettuce leaf, pile the food in there, wrap it up for one big bite.

Queso is a blend of cheeses that melt very smoothly and it has minced peppers so it comes in several degtrees of heat (spiciness)

As a person that loves Tex-Mex has my favorite cuisine, I pity people that don't eat great texmex regularly. And I was shocked to hear that he never had a taco. That's shocking to hear. Oh, and TexMex over BBQ any day of the year.

Green sauce is made primarily from tomatillos (look like a small green tomato but isn't) that have a husk (papery).Husk, boil, blend (in blender) add a little liquid--usually water. A different presentation mixes this with very well avocado and a little 'crema" (like not quite sour cream. Both are delicious served with tortilla chips--a little spicy

The green enchilada is made with salsa Verde..tomitillos yummy

Enchiladas are corn tortillas (made with masa, which is a corn based flour that has been soaked in an alkaline solution), wrapped around meat of some sort(Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, tongue.... you know... meat) that has been stewed in anything from Dr. Pepper, chipotle, and spices, or charbroiled on the gill, and then doused with an appropriate sauce (mole, enchilada sauce which is chili based, verde sauce which is made with tomatillos, green chili sauce, etc... ), topped with cheese and baked off in the oven for a while. Pretty standard tex-mex spices that you're looking for are: various kinds of dried ground chilis cumin Mexican Oregano (regular oregano can be used in a pinch) garlic Onion

Mole is a mexican sauce that is made of different chilis, spices, and mexican chocolate. Each chili used imparts a different flavor and the mexican chocolate is different than any chocolate you've had. I don't even know how to describe it honestly.

As a Mexican.. Nesquick is NOT the same as Mexican Chocolate. We (our Aztec ancestors) originated the stuff. Nesquick is trailer park caravan level chocolate by comparison. Abuelita is just a brand that Nestle now owns but the chocolate hard cakes are made the way they've always been made. There is a cinnamon element to Mexican chocolate. The chocolate actually isn't added to so you can taste it - but the chocolate brings out the tomato and chili powders you use to build your mole. No Ollie, it is NOT the same.

Mexican, Tex mex, and BBQ go hand in hand

Nothing beats a great BBQ but TexMex is also amazing.

You eat the chili with a spoon and the crackers are if it's too hot you can crumble them on top and mix it together.

Hearing you've never had tacos before and didn't know what queso dip is seriously made me want to cry. If I could mail you some, I would!! I would say find a solid recipe online, but you said that your vegs are sometimes hard to get. That is 1 thing that you can 99% of the time guarantee, Latin/South America are using fresh everything!!! I am an at-home cook, and I seriously want to have you try *everything*.

4:50 What a perfect pause.

You should do unboxing so Americans can send you things to try .snacks foods etc . We love seeing other countries try our products ❤Nana

when you said you never had tacos, i gasped so hard that i started hacking up a lung

I've watched Jolly for years & so happy to see your reactions when watching them. I got into watching them for their reactions when trying South Korean food since they made it look so delicious (omg their Korean barbecue episodes 🤤). Plus some of the food they tried, like spicy chicken feet, is just so foreign to me since there is nothing like that where I am in the States. I think you would enjoy some of their other food videos or even the ones without food (like the twin vs twin challenges = hilarious or the high school students series = hilarious + wholesome). Thanks for checking out Jolly!

Josh and olly take such big bites because that's a normal sized amount for eating Korean food. It's called the "Korean bite." Their original channel, the Korean Englishman, is all about Korean food, and a large percentage of their audience is Korean.

There’s a KZfaq channel that you will probably enjoy called ‘Views on the Road’ that cooks a lot of these types of recipes. This helps you understand the ingredients that go into these dishes.

Bro, my heart goes out to you... never had tacos. You must rectify this. Visit Texas, it's worth the trip.

The sweet food at the end is used to take away the burn from the spicy sauces. It works much better than milk, or any other idea. In New Mexico, we finish the meal off with Sopaipillas and Honey.

It's ok if you haven't had tacos before. Because I there are foods I haven't yet. And I love how that joke hit well. You really need to see Jolly enjoying REAL Super Bowl snacks. THOSE WINGS ARE AMAZING!

Queso is a cheese sauce for chips. Usually a yellow orange or white Mexican cheese. Can be mild or spicy. SO GOOD! And Tacos are life here in the US.

I am a native-born Texan. Texas was once part of the Spanish Empire and Mexico for about 300 years, so the cuisine has stayed and evolved long after Texas became part of the USA. Tex-Mex is a gastronomical fusion of the two cultures in relation to Texas. California-Mexican food is also unique in its own sense.

If you love spicy food you will really love Mexican Food.

Queso Blanco (Spanish for white cheese) is one of the best dips in the world and no one can tell me otherwise.

Queso is Spanish for cheese. They are eating a blanco queso dip--melted cheese with spices in it. Sometimes it also has meat & tomatoes The cheese is probably Oaxaca cheese (wah- hock-ah cheese) or Asadero (both are good melty Mexican cheeses) Mole (say moh-lay) is a chocolate based spicy sauce that is awesome on chicken

Cacao is a classic Mexican ingredient and mole is a macro term used for a variety of dishes using cacao is a key ingredient. It’s a super rich saucy dish that tastes of the bitterness and complexity of chocolate, but without the sweetness. Chocolate dates back to the ancient Aztecs in modern day Mexico and the southwestern United States

If you ever happen to be in Arizona, let me know and I’ll show you around with Mexican food and spice.

Queso means cheese in Mexican Spanish. When someone orders Queso in a Tex-Mex restaurant, they're wanting Cheese Dip.

On the question of how big a bite to start with, it can be argued that a large bite can be needed to make sure that you don't miss any of the flavor elements of the dish, by making sure that you get a good sample of all the ingredients.

If you try queso you will fall in love with it. Real queso and not the crap from major manufacturers. Go local always!!

so fortunate to happen to grab a snack just as i opened youtube and saw this..

Traditional Mole ("mo-ley") is made with Mexican chocolate. It is a savory flavour.

I love your reactions so very genuine so very real thanks mate,!

Tacos are really easy to make and there are a thousand you tube videos showing how to make tortillas, salsa, guac, beans and rice, and how to spice the meat. Sometimes I'll buy a pork shoulder or a beef roast and cook it slowly in the crockpot and shred it and I'll have meat for tacos, nachos, whatever for a while. If you do cook tex-mex record it so we can watch. 🤘

Queso is the Spanish word for cheese... but it is also used to describe a cheese sauce or dip. Mole (I should have an accent mark on that "e") is a chocolate based sauce - think more of a spicy cocoa powder, rather than a sweet chocolate. Some moles can be very spicy - but the cocoa tends to "soften" the "mouth heat", so the flavor is excellent, but you may find yourself perspiring. The milder green sauces are often made with Tomatillos - which are related to tomatoes (nightshade), but remain green when ripe. They make an excellent and savory Salsa Verde (Green Sauce). As they show you with this video - there are very hot green chiles... if you are every in New Mexico, this is important to remember.

If you come to Texas and get the chance to go south, Austin or lower, I invite you to try some tacos from a food truck. A lot of the taco trucks around here will have incredible food and some amazing drinks! And they tend to set up in parking lots and then have their own tables and chairs, so families or groups of friends can hang out and enjoy each other and the food. And I've always felt like it was ok to ask what things were and what the cook recommended. People here open up when you're curious about food. And more often than not they'll serve you something extraordinary.

When you said that you’d never had tacos, my ass literally clinched. It made me so sad

"Thump thump. Thump. thump thump. ThUmP." I couldn't ignore it, but I can absolutely forgive it.

You need to check out their Korean Englishmen channel and them introducing students at a boys’ school to Korean food. It’s such a good series.

Greetings from Austin! I live about 5 minutes from Eldorado Cafe and love going there. The chicken mole enchiladas are my favorite. It's a chocolate base with a lot of spices. So much flavor.

Mole (moleay) sauce is a chocolate/cinnamon sauce along with chilies and other spices like oregano and cumin.

Queso is just spanish for cheese. but in the US, it usually refers to a cheese dip.

Make some tacos, my friend. They are an absolute cake walk to make. A pound of ground beef, and either some flour (not corn) soft tortillas or some crunchy hard shells. A shredded cheese of your choice (shredded cheddar is probably the easiest to get a hold of), lettuce, tomato, onions, and maybe some sour cream. Salsa is a must. My favorite is Pace Picante sauce. The seasoning isn't hard. If you can just buy some taco or fajita powder from your local grocery store that would be easiest. If not... 1/2 c. chili powder 1/4 c. ground cumin 2 tbsp. smoked paprika 4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 4 tsp. garlic powder 4 tsp. kosher salt 4 tsp. onion powder 2 tsp. dried oregano There are other methods, obviously, but this is a good one. You can use ground beef, chicken, pork (called carnitas), or chorizo (which is a type of pork that has been fermented and smoked). Seriously, once you have the seasoning, just brown the meat and add the powder and stir until it's done as you LIGHTLY toast the soft tortillas. Toast them too hard and they won't bend and will crack. Anyway, once the tortillas are warm, add the meat and top with lettuce, onions (preferrably green/scallions), tomatoes and salsa and sour cream and enjoy😊 I HIGHLY suggest putting the sour cream on the tortilla first to avoid getting meat/grease on the spoon and putting it back in the container😒 Hope this helps. You HAVE to try tacos as soon as possible. They can be super cheap and quick if you can just buy the seasoning, or super expensive and take forever if you have to make the seasoning and the tortillas. If you have to make the tortillas, you'll need to make or buy masa which is an entirely different animal akin to making pancakes or waffles😒 You can also put black olives on them😋

You need to come to New Mexico for our unique food, only in New Mexico! You’ll leave craving enchiladas (red or green or Christmas), margaritas, sopapillas with honey, compuestas and Hatch chili, the list goes on and on.

The margaritas are so fantastic with Tex-Mex

Queso is Spanish for cheese. It’s also a style of cheese if I’m not mistaken. Quesadilla is a dish made with cheese. Now I want chips cheese and guacamole.

A traditional mole is made with dark unsweetened cocoa and raisins. It is rich and spicy, not like a sweet.

I just love your videos! They are so real. Great job.

Mole is a sauce made from chocolate but it's savory. It has chilis tomatoes and spices in it

Texan here .. we live off tacos and enchiladas. Funny how the world is different .

When trying hot sauces for the first time, do not scoop up a lot of sauce at once. Dip only a corner of your chip into the sauce to test it’s hotness. Too much of a very hot sauce can really burn your tongue, your mouth and your throat.

You wont see this but do the shopping trip. It is always interesting to see other countries stores, prices and freshness of foods. I live in Alaska we are in the same boat when it comes to freshness.

I was disappointed that they didn't have a sopapila with honey.

I live literally 1mile from this restraunt and its so good. And Mole is a sauce with unsweetened chocolate in some recipes.

NEVER HAD TACOS? my guy......... I live a minute walk from this restaurant and it is SO GOOD.

When you come to the US, come to Texas! The variety of foods is unbelievable, all rich and well seasoned! Food explanations below: Texas chili is a rich, most commonly, beef based stew. It is 1 of the best things to eat when it is cold and/or rainy outside! It can range from mild to nuclear spice level, but when dive right very flavorful! Enchiladas are rolled corn tortillas (tor-tee-yas) filled with nearly anything, but most common is ground beef, shredded chicken, or melted cheese. They are then generally covered with a sauce: queso (k-so), chili, salsa verde (green sauce), or molé are the most common.

Queso (kayso) is the Spanish word for cheese. Texas fought a war of independence from Mexico and then joined the USA as a new state.

I see other people covered the queso aspect but i think it would be awesome for you to show us a grocery store where you are. I love visiting new grocery stores that come to my city and they all have different highlights (Harris teeter for produce, Food Lion for the staples and Publix for the bakery, deli sandwiches, and the international aisle.

One thing about both Tex-Mex and barbecue here… I actually argue in favor of the big bite. It’s a better way to get the full mix of flavors and textures. But on great veggies or seafood, small bites is definitely the way to go. Edit: You’re also right, I think Tex-Mex doesn’t have the same visual appeal as barbecue, but to we who know it, it’s beautiful. The thing that sets it apart for me is that, like when they were talking about enchiladas, every dish combines flavors in a rich and delicious way that you really don’t find anywhere else. And not everyone likes everything; I am not a fan of mole or of “red” enchilada sauces, but I’m crazy for a good salsa verde or a sort of sour cream-based sauce some places do (which is often combined with salsa verde or used on seafood enchiladas). And I could eat Tex-Mex every day, because I can get a different flavor every meal, but I couldn’t eat barbecue every meal even as much as I love it.

Mole is AMAZING....peppers, dried fruits, nuts, Mexican chocolate.....it is a bit acquired but nothing like it.

Have you ever done video on growing up in South Africa or life in Slovakia?I think it would make a great video. I would love to see your area, food etc.

One of my favorites is actually a combination of BBQ and TexMex in the form of the Smoked Brisket Taco.

Mole’ is a sauce made from nuts seeds spices peppers and Mexican chocolate which has chilies and cinnamon in it

A lot of those fruit that only grow in certain areas can/do come with a price.....RATS! My Uncle lives in Vacaville, CA. and has quite a few fruit trees in his backyard. He and his neighbors have to take extra measures to make sure that limbs come nowhere near their homes because the rats climb the trees for fruit and can enter your home via rooftop ventilation pipes.
