My dad calls boiled peanuts "southern edamame" to describe them to people who aren't sure about the texture. You can slurp them from the shell to catch more of the spicy juices too!

[@ian4683]

I laughed when they said the peanuts tasted legumy. Might be because peanuts are legumes ;)

[@audrab27]

Someone described them as green beans on another video and all I could do is scream no. I will not touch a green bean but love peanuts.

Right! And bacon grease is "gentile smaltz"!

So happy Gullah culture was brought up. There used to be a kid's show back in the 90s called Gullah Gullah Island here in the US that was all about this. Absolutely LOVE IT. So chuffed you all had a great time.

I don't know abuout that, my kid cares nothing about the actual flavour, she doesn't even know what most food tastes like because she refuses to have a taste. 😂

[@phatpharm06]

@@RaXXha when my sister was about 5 or 6 she asked my mom what prejudice meant. My mom tried to simplify it by saying it was making a judgment or disliking based on how someone looks. My sister said she was prejudice against green beans 😂

[@jthomp72]

As a Lowcountry native (HHI/Savannah area but with family all over Charleston) this was cool. Y’all are one of the few foreign food people that has gotten Gullah stuff correct by and large. That’s the actual cuisine of the area, not the fake touristy stuff.

[@RICDirector]

Maybe you can answer this. What exactly, or rather where, exactly, is the low country and gulla? cuisine? I am totally lost, so any help is huge. Thanks!

[@jthomp72]

@@RICDirector more or less it goes like this… South Carolina was the state with the most slaves in the United states. On top of that we have a lot of barrier islands that are rather inaccessible, or were rather inaccessible until the invention of modern engineering bridges, etc. etc. That region is called the Lowcountry. It stretches from roughly Charleston to Savannah, Georgia more or less on the coast anyways, the slave communities by and large stayed in the islands, post freedom and kept their culture largely intact. Gullah culture is basically an amalgamation of a bunch of west African cultures brought over during the slave trade, mashed into one isolated American Culture. It’s a uniquely, South Carolina and Georgia thing, although there is a bit in North Carolina and Florida. There is a distinct language called Gullah that a few people still speak, which is a Creole English. Any other questions just ask.

If "fake touristy stuff" is so bad, maybe the people living there shouldn't make it the face of the area...

As a native South Carolinian, descendant of the Gullah Geechee people on my mother's side, and a longtime subscriber, it was great to see you feature Charleston and the Gullah Geechee culture central to its foodways in such a respectful and insightful way. Awesome to see the rising star Amethyst Ganaway and so many of my favorite Charleston spots featured! Fantastic job.💞

My grandpa was from South Carolina and Gullah geechee! We don’t know much about the culture or a lot of his family unfortunately :(

[@woodrobin]

In re: Jimmy Red Corn: There's a wonderfully subversive little song that used to be sung in the United States (even popularized by being sung by Burl Ives on a children's album) called "Jimmy Crack Corn" The lyrics are about a young slave (named Jimmy in a play on words) whose tasks for his master included "bring him drink when he get dry, and brush away the blue-tailed fly." One day, when his master was out riding on horseback, and Jimmy was supposed to run alongside and keep the flies away from the horse's flanks, he 'failed' to brush them all away, one bit the horse, and it bucked and threw the master, killing him. The blame, when the death was investigated, was place on the fly and not on Jimmy (though it's pretty strongly implied that Jimmy knew what was what and chose his actions accordingly). The refrain is "Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care, Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care, Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care: the master's gone away." Jimmy had access to the master's liquor cabinet ("bring him drink when he get dry"), "crack corn" was also slang for gossipping, and whiskey was made from, as is shown here, jimmy corn that was cracked. It seems clear that Jimmy has passed out the master's liquor and is telling the story of how it all happened, to the joy of the other slaves. And yet, even in segregated decades in America, it was sung as a catchy little children's song by people who evidently never stopped to think about it being a song about people celebrating the death of a slave-owner. Which, let's be honest, is a great reason to raise a glass of whisky and celebrate.

[@NoThankUBeQuiet]

To be fair as a kid I thought it was a slang for shucking

[@woodrobin]

@@NoThankUBeQuiet Well, shucking is removing the part of the corn that's unwanted and useless, and it's about the death of a slave-owner, so it is about a certain kind of shucking.

[@Icylady6996]

I am absolutely disappointed that you all did go to restaurants owned by the actual Gullah people 😢

[@TheLegendOZelda360]

as a southern and someone who loves black history and liberation theory I’ve never known this! Thanks for teaching me something new.

[@latsnojokelee6434]

I had relatives born in the 1910s who would sing that song. They were white and actually came from Missouri and Kentucky. So that was a very well-known song, but I’m sure a lot of people didn’t understand what they were singing.

[@Dak36]

No desert? Banana Pudding, sweet potato or yam pie, benne seed cookiesLady Baltimore cake? Also Charleston is the place to find tea based punches like Gun Powder Tea punch…all with mixes of several spirits. Thanks for visiting.

This is how you have a holiday with your friends, have good food and write it off as a company expense 😂 keep up the good work Lads

[@Nefetiti1]

I'm of Nigerian origin and the dishes you're eating are very similar to some of our foods. The okra soup/stew, the red rice, close to our joloff rice to name a couple. Boiled peanuts is something I miss, a great snack.

[@jitaamesuluma9730]

Well obviously because the kings of Nigeria sold more people into slavery than slave traders stole, I have no respect for them , my ancestor was a slave despite my looking white,I am Britannia my ancestor was part Nigerian and part native american, I was married to a nigerian, when I found Oh this ancestors captured people to sell as slaves, it killed what little respect I had left for the lying cheating thief

[@RobertClaeson]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@StaciBlu]

Soul food was created by black southerners slaves and once our ancestors freed us. Most of our roots go back to west Africa in some sort of way so it makes sense that dishes are similar.

[@castlecorn593]

That's probably cause even though it is southern food it really is more specifically African American cuisine

[@DTG_LOCKETT]

Louisiana Okra gumbo is probably more closer to what you are talking about.

[@antonrutten]

[@laurenleising2242]

As an SC native, it's so fun to see one of my favorite channels try and learn about this cuisine!

[@Shadowreaper5]

Another thing that you have to get to understand southern cooking is southern culture and hospitality. It's not just cooking. As the chef told you, it's about about putting love and caring for the people who are going to eat that food into every dish.

[@Jlowrey8]

Yes! This is literally why soul food hits different

[@MilwaukeeWoman]

Every good cuisine everywhere is made with care. My mom worked as a short order cook here in the north, and there was plenty of care in a simple plate of eggs and bacon.

[@bcaye]

@@Jlowrey8, actually the beauty of it to me is that it comes from people having to create delicious food from non premium ingredients. The ingenuity! There are cuisines of that nature globally, but Southern food is the most accessible to me.

[@grabble7605]

@@Jlowrey8 Oh, come off it. It's a bunch of rhetoric. All that's actually happening is they're not a mass franchise restaurant so they're not skimping on quality to hit quantity. You don't have to love anyone to do that.

[@grabble7605]

@@bcaye "having to create delicious food from non premium ingredients. The ingenuity!" Salt, pepper, sugar, MSG can do that regardless of any other ingredients. Doesn't take too much ingenuity. And _most human beings_ are working with non-premium ingredients. The poor outnumber the rich well and far. Quit trying to mythologize food. Just let it be good food.

[@Shadowreaper5]

Saying "I could eat these all afternoon" about the boiled peanuts is the essential southern experience. That means you got them made well. I remember working in retail and a guy would park his boiled peanut trailer down the way and we would all get a cup or two from him. There's something special about whiling away the afternoon eating boiled peanuts. AND it is much healthier than a lot of other snacks. I'm glad you got to try it.

[@peacelizard]

I don't think I've ever tried boiled peanuts. Just the name doesn't sound super flavourful but I'm sure they're great and should love to try them

[@chelseakearns1944]

Thought the same thing! My dad makes them and we eat them all afternoon while watching football on Saturdays. That’s what they’re for, and so delicious. …now I’m desperately craving some!

Boiled peanuts always makes me think of the horrible gas station variety

[@Jlowrey8]

[@user-vp4qq4it7i]

funny that you called the boiled peanuts 'legumey'... as they are legumes, lol!

[@alexsis1778]

If you don't live too close to where they're grown then most people are probably only familiar with having them dried so the boys are probably more used to them resembling a nut.

[@AngelusNielson]

I've lived in the pacific northwest all my life and I recently discovered Sunn m’Cheaux and the Gullah people. it's really really heartwarming to see the boys embrace and learn about them and their history and foods. Glad I'm not the only white boy learning and appreciating the people.

These are always my favorite videos from you guys, where you take a deep dive into another culture's food by actually traveling to its birthplace. Very excited for part 2!

[@michael_17213]

I always think it’s interesting that we’ve gone so far that traditional cooking can seem exotic. Like that local ingredients aren’t the normal anymore. Kinda sad but with the way history shook out but unfortunately that’s where we’re at. We’ve lost so many hyper local cuisines it’s cool to see one get highlighted in this way

[@joshX200]

YES! Fried green tomatoes and Pimento cheese! I am so glad you all tried both of those! Those items are so regional that even people in Northern USA have not had them before! I really like that you guys are showing off the food, culture, and hospitality of the Southern US because I feel like they always get a bad rap but people just don't understand how welcoming people in that area are, and how good the food is! I hope you all enjoyed!

[@SherioCheers]

Fairly certain that the bad rap comes from all the red voters in the south. It's hard to see folks as welcoming and hospitable when they're voting Republican. It's like they're saying one thing and doing another.

[@Emeraldwitch30]

I love pimento cheese. Fried green tomatoes are a seasonal thing for me. End of season rush to use the green tomatoes up

[@hawkerm8419]

It's not exactly helpful that Southeast an Central South get grouped together a lot. Completely different food west of the Mississippi.

*get a bad rap Maybe bcz they're so overtly racist and misogynist. Like forcing even minor vics of rape/incest to birth, denying abortion.

There is a place in Savannah, Vic's on the River that does fried green tomatoes with goat cheese, tomato chutney and a balsamic glaze. Everything on the menu is to die for and the Restaurant is one of the best places in town.

Fried green tomatoes and pepper or onion relish…I could live on it. I use Gullah hot love spice in my beer batter when I make catfish. So much amazing flavor. The food is all I miss about living in Savannah.

Restaurant food is nice and having a chef prepare your food is great; but the best Southern food experience you can get is when a regular person who can cook has prepared homemade cooking for you! Now that's some good eating! Eating at somebody's house on a Sunday and then taking a nap is a beautiful way to spend the day... lol!🍴😍😜😁🙂
