As Recky pointed out, we have had waves of immigration from all over the world. Each of these groups adapted their cuisine to the ingredients available. And as these groups rubbed up against each other hybrid cuisines developed.
Down on the Gulf Coast in Texas and Louisiana, we're seeing a lovely new regional cuisine develop. Between 1960-1990's waves of Vietnamese refugees settled on the coast and many went into the restaurant business. There is a blending of the Canjun flavors and ingredients with the Vietnamese. Viet-Canjun and Viet-Texan foods are being born. You find places along the coast which serve traditional Cajun crawfish boils and blackened or southern style fried fish, but they also serve local blue crabs cooked in Vietnamese spices and Viet-Cajun crawfish boils.
Being poor is the mother of invention. When all you have is 3 onions, a yard full of dandelions, and the snout of pig, then poof you make pig snout salad. Soul food is the combination of taking really simple ingredients, spices that are available, knowledge the slaves brought from africa, and the fact that you eat it or go hungry. With time, food improves.
If you go into a restaurant to try, you should tell them you are from Sweden, and would like to try their food and put it on YouTube. I’ve noticed that most people from other countries get very good service, and sometimes extras. I think you’d find yourself getting very good service…
Candied yams are a type of sweet potato
gurkmeja (Swedish) = turmeric (English)
Thanks for the video. A couple of youngsters like you could get into a LOT of trouble in New Orleans😮. Get rid of all the baseball bats around your house if you decide to watch Jolly's, Brit's try Louisiana BBQ for the first time!! It is about 13 minutes long. I don't want you to be tempted to bust holes in your walls and windows, not to mention your kitchen table and car by the time they eat the loaded baked potato😮.DLee
Turmeric is sometimes used to color foods yellow. Saffron is also used and definitely advances the flavor of food, but its high price makes turmeric a good substitute.
In Louisiana there are 2 main cuisines – Cajun and Creole. They are, at the same time, different but the same. Around the New Orleans area, you will find mostly Creole soul food. The reason their jambalaya looked different is because Creole jambalaya includes tomatoes giving it a reddish, orangey look. Creole is “red” jambalaya. Cajun is “brown” jambalaya. Creoles will include tomatoes in their gumbo, Cajuns would NEVER add tomatoes to gumbo. Both are delicious!!
Please try and watch Jolly trying a Louisiana Crawfish Boil. Watching them suck the crawfish heads is hilarious.
theres a video on youtube that has a really good jambalaya recipe. its the one I always make. "never trust a skinny cook" Carmine's Jambalaya. I dont think you have any trouble finding any of the ingredients esp if you have the Slap ya Mama seasoning (thats what I use) its sooo good. Ive made it for get togethers and it gets raves every time.
Pro tip: Louisiana brand hot sauce is terrible. The best is Frank's.
In Chicago they have several wonderful Swedish restaurants.
You can get Lingoberry jam in my local supermarket. I've bought it and love it.
I have Swedish anvestry.
Candied yam is brown sugar corn syrup over a tuber.a Yam.
Try Scottish Cod deep fried.
Ricky, don't beat yourself up about the box mix meals… those box mix and flavor packet meals are not that bad, they are just sometime a bit basic. These restaurants have just found ways to put their own flair on the basic ingredients. Also, the same meals made in the South or the Midwest will taste different, most likely both are very good because they may have spent generations perfecting their individual recipe, but different.
❤🐱 @8:34 & 😻🐱 @8:05
If I could have my wish, it would be to travel anywhere and try all the different foods.
These videos frustrate me too, I just want to try it so badly…lol.
Try to make country fried steak from scratch. It's not too difficult.
Yams are a tuber, very similar to sweet potatoes in color, texture, and flavor, to the extent that the two are often considered interchangeable in the USA. Candied yams here are often, but not always, baked with a topping of mini-marshmallows.
❤the reaction.
You're one of the few couples that are actually making and eating the different foods even from the box it gets the idea of flavors
YouTube has tutorials on how to make traditional American recipes from scratch.
They should have mixed the hot sauce into the entire dish.
Jambalaya is pretty easy to make if you know how to cook rice. You can find different recipes online. It's basically just sausage cooked in rice. The Zatarrain's boxed stuff gives you an idea of the flavor and it's not too bad.
A Full English breakfast is great. I've had it twice. Don't care for the black pudding (blood sausage) but the rest was great.
Have you checked out their other channel, Korean Englishman? Both Jolly and Korean are soo funny but educational too
If you ever visit New Orleans… go to Willie Mays. Their chicken is awesome. Even by my picky standards. 😊
Something like biscuits and gravy it is easy, a good place to start.
We’re having sweet potatoes with our Thanksgiving meal in a couple of days- mashed with a layer of marshmallows on top. It’s important to almost “roast” the marshmallows like you would over a campfire so you get that nice crispiness with the soft marshmallow underneath. You could also make it with a layer of brown sugar over the top, also cooked so it caramelizes and tastes amazing! I bet you guys could grow sweet potatoes/yams yourself and then make some of your own dishes with them.
You are two beautiful souls! Definitely continue your venture down this path. It's fun to watch! You haven't even ventured down their Korean Englishman channel that Josh started. Some absolutely incredible videos there introducing Brits to korean fried chicken, korean BBQ, culture, etc. Its an incredible path!
You guys have awesome chocolate & we have American chocolate which very few are good. We have to go to special stores that sells European chocolates like at World Market which has lots of hard to find items like Milka chocolates, Every weird Haribo flavors we don't see in the stores, or Kewpie Mayonnaise from Japan I fell in love with when I lived there. Or my favorite German mustard that's in a small beer mug. When Americans think of Sweden we think of swedish meatballs, or pickled herring we even have a Stoffer's brand of a microwave dinner that is swedish meatballs with parsley in a light brown gravy & I wish it had a side of Lingonberry sauce but we do love swedish meatballs. 🤎😍😻
It's either saffron or turmeric yellow or else it's a chicken seasoning powder which is yellow. They'll probably tell ya unless it's a family secret. 😆😻😍
One day you'll get to come to America & experience our foods & places of interest & we love when visitors want to try it all & want to see little parts of it. We can't wait for you to come for a visit soon. 😍💛
💜💜💜💜💜💜😆😻😍🙏
The US isn’t what you think it is.
Thank you for a great video reaction… Being from Wisconsin I also love your Badger shirt…😊
