If that is all your grandma put into your jello salad, you where lucky. And better believe you had to sit at the table til you finish all that she put on your plate.

Branston pickle and cheese sandwiches are fab!

[@allisonmb1930]

Also I’m from the south and that powdered tea. Bless your heart.

[@Pekkle7755]

I know it even had British on the screen was like don't you have a black tea bag?

[@darksider9534]

All that food sounds good. Maybe I'm just hungry...

[@katik2558]

Lots of these actually look delicious

[@joshuabishes]

For a root beer float you’re supposed to put tbt ice cream in first

[@futuramabender2078]

Explain tbt? Also, accordin ta Google, the best way ta make a float is ta chill a glass, pour your coke, and then add the ice cream.

[@ms.diva0079]

Grits are amazing and the BRIT right on the money! Shrimp and grits or cheese grits-food of the gods!

[@angelapotter8084]

Haggis is delicious, I'm glad Jeff liked it.

[@futuramabender2078]

Yes! I remember when I had Haggis for the first time! DELISH!

[@melaniel7947]

I had the same reaction when I first opened a can of spam, Tom hahah. And I'm American. Also I love the Tom & Jeff food tastings we need more of them!

[@elroy8272]

Spam needs sliced thin and fried crispy..like bacon.

[@stuffed-lasagna3931]

Meatloaf and candied yams are freaking amazing! Tom got off easy

[@TERFpride420]

Is nobody upset about the fact he put root beer in before the ice cream?

[@lauramcmillan9592]

Knew that eruption was coming...

[@Sexy11Chocolate]

Cheese grits YUMM ❤️

[@469ka37]

That's not how you do jello salad at least in my family. We use fresh strawberries, sour cream, and it's supposed to be frozen. Not whatever that was. That was straight out of a 1950s cook book when they added jello to everything

[@futuramabender2078]

We all have our own ways of makin things!

[@ninsiana0]

Grits are literally a porridge made of corn instead of wheat, like polenta, and you can & should use them as a base. They are endlessly adaptable. Cheesy grits? Delicious. Make it with veggie broth or stock, and serve it with a protein? Yes, please. Eat it with honey or maple syrup? Amazing. Gross? I think not.

[@alexbostock7826]

A northerner who doesn’t like spam?! And doesn’t Jeff own a kettle?!

[@ambergreen170]

Grits are better with something on them cheese, butter, etc

[@wildnfurious8586]
