This episode was so funny. Still waiting for the "Office Blokes Try traveling to the United States". 🤣

The chef with the white hair is Guy Fieri. He had a show based in New Jersey some time ago, so it could have been him.

Okra is so great. We also stew it with tomatoes and onions (Okra and Tomatoes), which I prefer. I can't believe pinto beans and corn bread wasn't mentioned. In some cases it is eaten as a complete meal.

Im from Arkansas born and raised in the sticks and these are meals I ate on a daily basis for the most part.. I know it is off-putting to see a lot of these staples in the southern diet but trust and believe when cooked properly each of these bring a flavor profile that is indescribable. I've enjoyed you guys immensely sharing your thoughts and views. Keep up the good work!🙏🏾✌🏾

Baked macaroni and cheese is a staple at Thanksgiving and Easter and in my family no one makes it like Mama. If someone else volunteered to make it, it better be perfect or we consider the meal ruined and you will NEVER live it down!😂😂

My family and I are from New Orleans with extended family in Mississippi. When it came to food, we were blessed. I had most of the things on this list. My mom even softens and cooks gizzards in her dressing sometimes. It's actually very good.

A gizzard is essentially a chicken's stomach although they technically have 3 organs that carry out the function of a stomach (crop, proventriculus, and gizzard) the gizzard is the final stage of break down before it enters the intestinal tract. The gizzard is filled with small bits of stone and grit to help physically grind the food down.

Biscuits and gravy had all my life. Lived in the Northeast of America, but my dad was from Kentucky. Had alot of cornbread growing up. I saw Gordon Ramsay and Paula Deen both celebrity chefs in the video.

I’ve never been a fan of mixing salty and sweet trust me, I don’t even like syrup on anything other than waffles but Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles is absolutely delicious 😋 I’m glad I changed my mind and tried it, love it!

As someone from Kentucky I’ve NEVER seen these hear in the south lol 😂 what ARE THOSE biscuits and gravy are fluffy and heavenly. Also watch lost in the pond’s “guess what these southern words mean” plz

The chef you're talking about at the 14:50 mark is Guy Fieri. He has had a bunch of shows on the Food Network including Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, and Guy's Grocery Games.

Worked in Sainsbury when i was twenty one and told a part time younger lad to rotate the apples ( meaning dates ) went out 15 minutes later to him rotating every apple one hundred and eighty degrees.

We do biscuits and gravy all over the US. That's not just a southern thing. I live in Michigan and I get them almost every time I go out for breakfast. Pretty much every diner in America has them on the menu.

White haired guy is Guy Fierrei

Chicken and waffles are one of those strange sounding combinations that will definitely blow your mind. It's just that good.

Never inhale while biting a beignet, the powdered sugar will smother you! There is too much sausage for the amount of gravy! Is there gravy there? Should be lots more gravy. My dad, who was born in 1910, would be sent to his aunt's whenever his mom gave birth to one of his siblings. His aunt and uncle farmed in Illinois (a northern state). Breakfast there was ham, eggs, biscuits, red eyed gravy and apple pie. React to "Must-Try New Orleans Foods: Free Tours by Foot" on the Free Tours by Foot - New Orleans channel. Or try "Scottish Guy Tries NEW ORLEANS FOOD For The First Time" on the Shaun channel.

I am from Queensland Australia. I grew up not far from a bunch of peanut farms. I have had peanuts raw, salted, curried, sugar coated, boiled, and other ways. I thought boiled peanuts were available everywhere and that everyone knew what they are. I grew up on those. They are soo good. And I was very surprised to learn that first they are an American thing and that you guys have never heard if them. Look for some. Try them on your Try Channel. You guys will love them.

Daz at 14:45 I think you're referring to Guy Fieri....yes hes a famous American T.V. chef

I’m not from the south, polar opposite, Minnesota actually. But don’t let that fool you, the grannies around here are just as good as the southern ones when it comes to home cooking. Thanksgiving and Christmas is otherworldly good.

I just tried chicken and waffles for the first time recently and it was really good! The sweet and savory flavors went together in the best way possible. I also had gumbo for the first time on the same trip and it was amazing.

Some of these dishes I grew up with in Pennsylvania and are originally from the Amish. The chicken and waffles I grew up on from the Amish are homemade waffles and chicken made with homemade chicken stock thickened into a gravy and served over the waffles. The Amish Chicken and dumplings are to die for and are mouth-watering as well as chicken pot pie. More people should try Amish cooking.

You guys would for sure fall in love with A Texas Prailine Pie

Guy Fieri is probably the most beloved celebrity chef in America ever since we lost Anthony Bourdain.

everything on this list is great, except the boil peanuts. They are right about one thing they are best ate outside so you can spit them out of your mouth when you realized you made a big mistake. They are all over the south, im a southerner and i still cant eat them. great video guys keep up the great work.

The biscuits and gravy at 2:40 are a crime and I'm a Yankee. There shouldn't be any cheese, the sausage gravy should be creamy, and the biscuits should definitely not look a week old.

Bless your hearts! Okra is amazing, any way you prepare it. I toss the entire pos in olive oil and a variety of seasonings and roast it in an oven.

Haha I love salty and sweet. Breakfast sausage and maple syrup is an awesome combo (also why people love the McGriddle lol)

I love chicken and waffles SO much, but even though they are thought of as a southern food, they really got their start by Jazz Musicians in Harlem NY...Working late night gigs and getting done at very late/early hours it became a staple of "Do I want Dinner? Breakfast?" Bam...Chicken and waffles..

I'm in Georgia about an hour from Atlanta....We eat or have eaten most of these. Our food is truly delicious, I must say. Everyone has their own way of making these dishes, though. For instance, my mom's ambrosia recipe doesn't include ANY dairy at all, just fruits, nuts, marshmallow, and coconut...and it is heavenly! I feel that a lot of these dishes/meals came about because there were a lot of poorer people here who were just using what they had/could get from the land for free to survive and not starve, and now it's just a part of our culture. All of my granparents grew up on farms and would eat and serve things I would never eat, but most people around me would. My dad used to always have a jar of pickled pig's feet in the refrigerator to snack on (shudder) and talked about eating scrambled pig's brains for breakfast when he was young (no thanks).

Another deep fried southern goodness. Take dill pickles, and fry them up in the exact same way as the fried green tomatoes, and serve with a ranch sauce, with hot sauce. YUM!

As a southern Georgia Boy I will say this is amazing "southern comfort foods". I've had pretty much everything listed here except for chitlins. I could never convince myself to even try it. As for the smell it is true. There was a local home grown restaurant near where I lived and they had a chitlin night. Where it was all you can eat chitlins. They didn't even need to put their sign outside to tell you it was chitlin night. You could smell it all the way out in the streets.

Mark 18:13. Aha! Finally an honest answer as to what, "Hush Puppies", are made of! Too many people have said, "Dog meat?", and eat it anyway! But I read something about cornmeal somewhere. However, the big problem with them, for me, is that at buffets, they look like the stuff I avoid eating! I can't visually tell them apart, so I need something clearly labeled, and the option to slice something open to see what is inside it. 😳 Oh, that is also the brand name for some comfort shoes whose commercials have the impression that they were made from puppies! At least the 1970s ones. 😳

Thats what I love about living in south Texas. We have Cajun/Creole food to the east,and Mexican to the west along with Tex Mex and of course BBQ especially Brisket. And we cant leave out good old Southern cooking and soul food. Oh...and some fantastic seafood!!! The variety of styles make living in Texas a foodies paradise. Houston has more restaurants than any city in the US.

I've never heard of ambrosia made with mayonnaise in my life, and I've got a lot of southern women in my family, so I've crossed paths with a lot of ambrosia.

Seems like they left a lot of southern food out. I noticed some of the cooking shows have northern cooks. You'd have to see an elderly lady from the south cook those biscuits and gravy. I have never seen square biscuits. No chittlins for this southerner.Good home grown green beans seasoned with fat back and cooked with new potatoes.Home made slaw and ripe maters from the garden.Fried cabbage,fried corn,fried green maters.Oh and cornbread. I just made myself hungry,lol.

I typically don't mix up my savory and sweets BUT in Southern Cali - Los Angeles there is a famous chicken and waffle place called Roscoe's and maaaaaan THAT is delish!

I grew up on a farm here in Pennsylvania. When you cream a squirrels and slather them on biscuits you can't tell the difference between squirrel and turkey. Delicious!!!!

Somebody please explain to them that Louisiana has more cuisine than just some fried dough 🙄🤦

The chef you were talking about is Guy Fieri . He has a very popular show on cable named "Diners,Drive-ins ,and Dives " where he travels all over the country eating at small eateries

In south Texas, we grow okra in our local gardens. When we want okra, we just go cut some. then we season and fry it. I freakin' LOVE fried okra!

I sent one of our apprentices after a 6 inch A S S reamer off he went I was crying I was laughing so hard, the look on his face when he got back form the tool crib was priceless.

Chili with cornbread smothered in honey butter and sweet potato casserole is a must

A gizzard, in many birds, is the hind part of the stomach, especially modified for grinding food. Most birds, like chickens, don't have teeth to chew with, so they swallow small stones that end up in the gizzard and they pounds the food into a slurry that's easier to digest.

In NC, and in many other places from the South, we have Chicken and Pastry. The pastry is rolled thin and flat and added to boiled chicken that has been cooked with onions and celery and carrots. I have actually never seen dumplings in any restaurants down here. Cracker Barrel does have dumplings down here, but they are flat dumplings.

Ambrosia when made with mayonnaise is best made the night before and then let stand (refrigerated) over night. It will draw the sugar from the marshmallows and be quite sweet the next day.

The guy with the white hair is Guy Fieri, on the episode of Tosh.0 that you watched with Reviewbrah and the pizza shop, that is who he was referencing while wearing the white spikey hair wig.

Gumbo needs okra. Can't believe she skipped that.

Okra is a green veggie, elongated and full of seeds. Love it pickled or fried or in stews. Not everyone likes it.

I'm southern and I absolutely adore boiled peanuts. They boil them in super salty water and spices. So good. By the way the gravy they show is trash. It looked like all meat with a spoon of gravy mixed in. It's supposed to be the other way around ... I thick creamy milk gravy with pork sausage as seasoning.

I'm with you guys on the savory and sweet. I've had fried chicken and waffles and, to me, they're better separate, but lots of people love them. Gizzards and chitlins are nasty to me. I think of it as food eaten during the Great Depression where they use to eat everything right down to the bone marrow. I thought I'd like gizzards, but nope.

Re; the ambrosia mixed with "mayonnaise". There is "mayonnaise" and there is "salad dressing". They both look the same and some people use them interchangeably, however, "salad dressing" is sweeter than mayonnaise so it gets used in a lot of fruit salads.

the mac n cheese clip you guys all laughed at is from 30 Rock. idk if it would be great for reacting, but it's one of my favorite shows of all time. worth watching for sure

As a 57 yr old southern woman, I have never had squirrel and do not know anyone else that has. Never had a gizzard either.

I’m from the North, so chicken and waffles sounded bizarre to me too. I went on a trip to Charleston SC a couple years ago, and tried it on a whim, and HO-LY FUUCK is it good. Fried chicken, waffles, butter with chopped up pecans in it, maple syrup, AND hot sauce! It’s not a dish, it’s a fucking symphony of flavors!

Jambalaya and Crawfish Etouffee are amazing, but do not eat it outside of Louisiana.

The chef you were talking about is Guy Fieri. And yes, he has (had) a show called 'Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.'

Mike try my fav nyc spots… Artichoke Pizza - try the artichoke slice and pepperoni slice Russ & Daughters for Bagels Dumont Burger for the Mac & Cheese Empanada mama’s - get the cheeseburger empanada with extra green sauce on the side.

Here in the Midwest we eat a lot of southern comfort food as well as our own. Tater tot casserole, noodle dishes, dumplings, puppy chow, buckeyes, corn dogs, sweet corn on the cob, chili, spaghetti and meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy…. Mmm. Lots of meat and potatoes. The Northeast and Northwest have their own things going on.

I'm from and still live in New Orleans. Beignets are great, but I have to talk about that second food - I do love Biscuits & Gravy, but the gravy is NOT supposed to look GREY like that. It's supposed to look closer to the chicken fried steak white gravy @7:57.

Squirrel is the thinking man’s chicken. Lol

Charlotte North Carolina here! Love the channel boys, keep it up!!

Gizzards are the first digestive organ in birds. They keep stones and grit in there to ”chew” their food. It is a dark meat flavor. They can be rather chewy. We used to have meals of gizzards, hearts & livers.

You will not believe how frighteningly bad Chitterlings smell while cooking. You have to leave the house. Then, you won't believe how good they taste. It's like some magical transformation on your taste buds. Some of the best tasting food you'll eat.

Boiled peanuts and spicy boiled peanuts are great. I have been eating them for years and often eat the shell, which become soft from boiling.

A lot of Southern cooking derives from the slaves who where limited on what foods the could obtain and damn did they do right!

Boiled peanuts are popular in Mexico, add some lime and hot sauce (valentina) . Yumm

Mark 24:15. "Thai food"? 🤔 Lots of Comedians: "Do you know what they call, Mexican food in, Mexico? Food! Do you know what they call, Chinese food, in China? Food!" 😆 A certain movie with, "Larry the Cable Guy": "Here, we just call it a, stand-off!" 😆

I'm from Mississippi. I can tell you that everything listed here is 100% accurate. This is just what we actually cook. Never heard of "Hot Brown" though.

Born and raised southern boy here, old southern boy, lol. I love fried green tomatoes! I don't understand how they left off pinto beans fresh onion and real cornbread, not cakebread. Sorghum and butter on a hot biscuit, oh my my. Take some hot cornbread crumble it into a glass of fresh sweet milk, some prefer buttermilk, oh my my. One I eat occasionally is, a plate of scrambled eggs smothered with chili, oh my my.

I have no idea what a gizzard is but as a southerner I love them!!

I grew up eating most of this stuff. I like all kinds of different cuisines, especially Italian, but Southern food will always be my comfort food. I'm in NC, boiled peanuts aren't a thing here but they are big in SC, not sure about the rest of the South. I didn't care for them all that much. I never touched chitlin's! My Dad loved them. HE thought I was crazy, but, nope! The rest of the stuff was spot on for me.

Chicken fried steak is fucking BOMB. They have it across the country. Every Denny’s has it, surprisingly not bad, I’ve had many a chicken fried steak from a Denny’s after a drunken adventure lol.

Brunswick stew is very good. It’s usually made with yesterdays BBQ pulled pork.

Chef Guy Fieri has a long running show Drive Ins, Diners and Dives

Raised in Florida panhandle. Catfish mullet greens cornbread potato salad deviled eggs apple pie and a scoop of vanilla to apple pie whip cream cherry on top of pie. Pecan pie pumpkin pie

Ha, when she said, "if you hadn't tried these before, well bless your heart." I'm not sure she knows that that is often the Southern way of saying "F*** you" in a euphemistic way. :-D

Mayonnaise on ambrosia salad is da bomb! We also add sliced pecans.

Last summer, I went to Florida on vacation, returning to IL via Louisiana, where I tried beignets, and they're really good. My view on this unknown stuff is, "You can always spit it out, but you might find that it's far better than you imagined, rather than far worse. As you say over there, "Give it a go!" Tree chickens--that's hilarious! The gizzard is a muscle in a chicken's digestive system, and the dangly thing under its chin is its wattle. I'm in northern IL, but I've run across ambrosia salad at potlucks--the pink version. Wooo, good stuff. As much as I like to take the "try it" attitude, though it may turn out to be good, I don't see myself ever trying such a ridiculous combination as chicken and waffles. I mean, come on, would I ever pour syrup on my chicken? Not in 50 years!

Ya’ll should react to man v food!

The guy with the white hair is Guy Fieri, a popular and well known chef and food critic. He travels a lot, finding and tasting different foods.

Funny watching Brits grimace at chitlins. When they eat haggis, beef and kidney pie and black pudding. Also depending on the type of sausage you eat, it might have a natural casing, i.e. intestines ( chitlins ) same difference. Either way I ain't eating none of it. Ew! 🤮🤢

love okra stew with fried fish and white rice, and curry turtle is good too. But not just anyone can cook certain foods real good

Born and raised in Alabama still there in the hills and hollers. These dishes are so good. No canned biscuits. Mayo in ambrosia salad I don't think so. You don't see a lot of chittlings anymore mostly older people.

I highly recommend chicken pot pie and jambalaya. I’ve never heard of boiled peanuts either, but I’m from the west coast in USA, not the south. I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve heard of chitlins my whole life, but never knew what they were! All the good food is in the Southern states.

You guys would go nuts over a good old Texan smoked brisket or some baby back ribs, potato salad and home made macaroni and cheese.

The"chef with the white hair" is Guy Fieri. He's the host of the Food Network series Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.

Seems like cornbread is treated as an after thought but it’s very popular in the South. Okra is native from Africa. The word gumbo is an African word for okra.

I’m from Georgia and we make Brunswick stew with chicken, beef and pork

Giblets are hearts, livers, and gizzards of poultry. Basically, all the edible organs. Gizzards are pre-stomach that help chickens digest food. It traps small rocks and bits and helps physically break down food before it reaches the stomach. I have never had any.

While ambrosia isn’t a food I would make an effort to consume, it is better than it sounds. It’s definitely a dessert, and if it has mayonnaise in it (not all of them do) the mayo serves to cut the sweetness and just blends with whatever you’re using to bind it together, whether that be Cool Whip or cream cheese (I’ve only had it with Cool Whip, which is sort of like whipped cream). It tends to be one of those foods your old auntie would bring to the church potluck. No one asked for it, but it tastes good so everyone will still eat it. I’m not from the South, but those types of one-bowl salads and casseroles are a staple for picnics and potlucks here in the Midwest as well.

The only people that can cook beignets. Daz would love them. Hard on the outside soft on the inside with powered sugar. Don't eat outside of Louisiana... it's horrible,

Gizzards are stomachs (technically chicken have three organs that function like our stomach, and Gizzard is the last one in the line). It sounds gross, but they're DELICIOUS if properly prepared. You want to soak them for an hour, rinse and clean them. It's a very unique taste, but really good! If cooked properly they should be melt-in-your-mouth tender and juicy, and have that strong chicken flavor (kinda like thighs but much more intense). Basically like eating small pieces of unbelievably tender thighs that have a much more concentrated taste- think chicken thighs boiled in a strong chicken stock.

Not a huge fan of ambrosia, but my people are southern and I’ve had all the versions. Mayo in sweet dishes happens lots in the south (banana sandwiches included). They often use miracle whip (which I detest) or dukes which some ppl say is a little sweeter 🤷🏽‍♀️

Marshmallows and Mayonnaise together! Madness, utter madness!!!!

Mark 16:40? "Newman", from the, "Soup Nazi", episode of, "Seinfeld". 😆

Quick comments as a southerner. I judge BBQ dives by their Brunswick Stew. If they get the stew right chances are their BBQ and home made sauce is good too. Usually it's BBQ pork, or chicken for the meat. Disagree on country fried steak being a Texas thing. It's across the south in general. Gizzards are my favorite southern "appetizer". Basically imagine a giant clam that tastes like fried chicken. If it wasn't soaked in buttermilk overnight you will chew it for eternity and not get anywhere. Buttermilk fried gizzards or don't bother. (the gizzard is the muscle that breaks up stone, pebbles etc birds get to help digest food etc....it's chewy and tough) Chitlins, just don't bother unless starving, and don't be anywhere near a place they are being prepared. Collard greens are second only to okra for fav southern veggie, needs pepper vinegar sauce when served. Chow Chow is awesome on a fish sandwich. Make some for your British fish and chips and your instantly eating southern. Fried green tomatoes are heaven, I was wrong, collards are my third fav veggie...or maybe not tomato is a fruit? Chicken and waffles is over rated BS, it's hipster south, unless you happen to be at Gladys Knight's place then yeah, order it. Pimento cheese made with smoked Gouda is best, but is rarely found, but you can make it yourself, use it as a dip for your Tortilla chips. They didn't mention fried okra, grits, or blackberry cobbler...are they even trying to south?

I love my great grandma's chicken and pastry it's soo good! I recommend trying some if you get the chance.

A gizzard is a muscular part of the stomach and uses grit (small, hard particles of pebbles or sand) to grind grains and fiber into smaller, more digestible, particles before entering the stomach.

Absolutely love boiled peanuts they are fantastic!

@Office Blokes React The look on you gents' faces watching that, reminded me of those exploited, Ethiopians on those Sally Struthers commercials. LOL!!! I love the channel. Cheers!!!
