You can find good food all over the US but the south excels at comfort food. It may not be the healthiest but each dish is like a hug on a plate. You will want 2nd and 3rds even if you don't have room for it.

[@Pcytripper]

Most Southern foods are just farmer fuel. They'd get up early, eat a big meal full of carbs and meat, then work hard all day on it; maybe a smallish lunch. Thing is, we still eat that way even if the hardest thing we do is punch a stapler! Lol

Yeah I have to admit, a tear came to my eye when I saw the other video and that they were calling that dish Biscuits & Gravy. And when I say a tear, it was tears of sadness. I was born in the northern US but my mother was born in the south and came from a long line of southern cooks ... so I am confident in saying that what you had in New Orleans was most definitely indicative of a southern Biscuits & Gravy or as some may say Sausage Gravy. I am so happy that now you know the joy of the real deal rather than a California version.

Yeah, it is like night and day getting biscuits and gravy. The best biscuits and gravy are in the south. Grew up in Pennsylvania and went south twice a year to visit family. I would go down and gain 20-30 lbs in the first day.

[@Reno_Slim]

I've had awesome biscuits and gravy in California and terrible biscuits and gravy in the south. It comes down to the individual restaurants even though your chances of getting awesome biscuits and gravy in the south are much higher.

New Orleans was amazing! the people are lovely and the food is so delicious! We have lots more videos to come off the food there... We will definitely visit again in the future.. Thank you for watching

[@rhequiem]

I hear this a lot, but I grew up in California, and my mom and her parents were from Oklahoma, and the Appalachias before that. We had homemade biscuits and sausage gravy nearly weekly. We grew up poor, so it was a treat that was still affordable. I still live in California, and even some major chains around here (like Black Bear Diner) do an 'okay' biscuits and sausage gravy, and there are tons of small diners in almost every small town that serve it up old school southern-style, since there were so many southern transplants to California from the Dust Bowl era. I think it's more about knowing where to look, which may be more difficult to non-natives

[@greghamann2099]

Come on. I can make that myself. It is not difficult to make. Mine tastes very southern. It's not rocket science.

[@missam3404]

You can, especially from black Americans, because just about all of us have family from the south and have had recipes passed to us

[@jimbatten1927]

Oh Lawdy thank you. I could have cried for you during your first try at this dish. And sadly I've seen at least one other reviewer check out that disaster. Good for you for taking this extra step.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the recommendation, we are back now but will definitely head to the south again in the future for the food, people and experiences. We will definitely add the country ham and biscuits with red-eye gravy to our list of must try foods...

[@ironear7748]

Remember...the gravy goes on your biscuit, not on the ham! Red eye gravy (country ham gravy) has no flour/thickening agent in it so it runs off the meat - but a biscuit soaks it up like a sponge!@@thebritstry

[@Bamagirl-uf8xn]

I saw a video when they were at the Loveless Cafe in Nashville. They had the country ham there.

[@111smd]

when you said you went somewhere local all i could think was "yup you need to ask locals what they recommend" also i will tell you now that some spots look like a crap hole but they have some of the best food you will ever find i have gone to a restaurant that, i shit you not, was only a 4' by 6' weighting room in-front of a counter with one cash register, and you could see the cook behind, and after ordering you waited outside by another door until you got your food and then either ate it at a bench or went home to eat that was some of the best food you will ever eat

[@thebritstry]

Absolutely! Asking locals for recommendations is always a great idea when exploring new places. Locals usually know all the hidden gems that tourists might miss out on. Tourists are usually a bad sign

[@blackstorm9755]

We call that a "hole on the wall"...Some of the BEST food you are going to eat 😋🙂.

I'd probably like scones and gravy more. xD I don't know why, I've had b&G all over the country and yeah they're better in the south for sure, but I just could never get into them. I love me some scones though. I like moist soft ones, i like hard stale ones, I like crumbly biscuit-ey ones.

[@angrylittlespider4593]

I'm from the northern USA, and as far as food goes that's both a blessing and a curse. I know this because I have tried authentic Southern cuisine and soul food....and it's INSANELY DELICIOUS! A curse because I can't find food like that locally. A blessing because if I could I probably would have died of a heart attack by age 30...but I would have died happy! Have a blessed time and enjoy the Big Easy!

[@Frohds14]

We have something similar in West Germany. It's called Ragout fin. It's actually leftover food that was eaten in the days after a party. Various leftovers of cooked meat and roast are cooked in a white sauce with champions (or without), with peas and asparagus (or without), but definitely with a dash of white wine and creme, served in puff pastry gratinated with cheese. The noble form is not from leftover meat, its made with veal, pork and chicken. In East Germany they call it Würzfleisch (=spiced meat), they eat it with toast instead of puff pastry, and use only pork.

[@eew12]

Yessssss!!!!! This makes me so happy! My jaw hit the floor when I watched the California biscuits and gravy video. So glad you made your way to the South!!! We know food! New Orleans is the best place for foodies in America!!!

It's in a neighborhood called Algiers, on the other side of the Mississippi River from the French Quarter. You could have taken a ferry across the river if you'd wanted. You mentioned that food was well-seasoned. That's Louisiana. They don't serve bland food. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your New Orleans adventure!

You'd be surprised how easy it is to find in some parts of the state, especially in the more rural areas like the Central Valley. There are several places in my tiny town that serve legit biscuits and gravy. San Diego, probably a harder ask hehe

[@user-fc6nr1zd6f]

I 'm so glad that you tried biscuits and gravy again. And this time was the more conventional way. Biscuits and gravy have many variations, but this one is the most basic. American biscuit gravy, is made with ground pork breakfast sausage, fried to a crumbled state, then add flour to the sausage ( and all the grease), stir and cook for 2 or 3 minutes, then slowly start adding milk. Keep stirring and adding milk, it will thicken as it cooks. Thicken to your desire, split biscuits, ladle on the gravy, and enjoy. Biscuit gravy demands a lot of black pepper, and a little salt. I like to add red chili flakes to mine. This same gravy goes really well over fried chicken, or chicken fried ( country fried steak). In the US, we have several different gravies, different gravies, ( and different colored gravies) for different meats, from white to dark brown for beef, or ham.I hope you enjoy your culinary adventures while here in the states.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you so much for all the information and recipe ideas. We definitely want to try country fried steak in the future and visit as many states as possible.

[@jbdinbigd]

I'm so happy about this. I saw you trying biscuits and gravy in California, and left a post telling you that California doesn't do southern food. You're in the right place now. Enjoy.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing. We tried many different dishes while we were in New Orleans including beignets. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKPQent_asiSja8 We have more videos to come!

[@davidellis1374]

👍🙂❤ I'm so glad you corrected your experience. Some foods in the world are easy to not get right. This was one. I live in the South and have had some TERRIBLE attempts at Biscuits-N-Gravy. Grits are another Southern dish that is also easy to mess up if you are not in the South. You have shown a lot of respect to cooks in the South by doing this video. Thank you. Just like Italy, food in "The South" is made with pride. The South has always been heavy in Agriculture. The Annual Income has always been lower than other regions. When you don't have much in "The South", you still have Food, Family and Friends. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. 👍🙂❤

[@thebritstry]

Thank you so much for your kind words! and for watching. we loved New Orleans and we tried so many different dishes while there. We will upload more videos as soon as we get chance. We would love to visit more places in the south and would recommend New Orleans to anyone!

[@donald1379]

Thanks guys this was fun to watch❤ appreciate you❤

[@thebritstry]

Thank you so much for watching! we are glad you enjoyed it.

[@JETTsetterInk]

I watched the other biscuits and gravy video this morning and then KZbin suggested this one - YAY! So glad you made it to the South!!!!! 🎉

[@thebritstry]

It was so much fun!!! Thanks for taking the time to watch!

[@roxyspop]

I recently joined your channel and I must say you two are so fun to watch!! As a Southerner myself, I’m happy you chose to try AUTHENTIC Biscuits and Gravy! I grew up on this delicious dish and I believe my veins are filled with half gravy!! 😅

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for giving our little channel a chance! We loved the food in New Orleans and tried so many new dishes. we have many more video to upload.

[@vworre2589]

I’ve made biscuits and gravy every Sunday for the last 30yrs, it’s a southern thing, kind of like sweet tea. I’m a native Texan, lived in New Orleans for 5 years. I still think my biscuits are the best, but now when I visit New Orleans I’m there for some of the other foods that are the best in the world. Of course I love my state, and I must brag about our Bar-B-Que the best I’ve ever had. But you must go to the right places for the best, and I see by your videos you’ve gone to some of my favorites.

[@thebritstry]

We are now on a mission to try biscuits and gravy in all the states. Texas does have amazing bbq. We have only visited Austin so it would be great to try other places in Texas.

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Dont forget Cafe du Monde for beignets. Find somewhere for authentic Jambalya, Boudin Balls, Bananas Foster, banana pudding and a Crawdad boil. Gator and frog legs are optional. They're both good, but you'll end up really full.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing. New Orleans was great! We tried so many different foods but could have stayed for much longer! More videos to follow soon.

[@justme-xq5ml]

Another British trying this used the description. It's like a warm hug from grandma. I find that description, one of the best I have ever heard. Glad yall enjoyed it.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for watching!

[@ericbarlow6772]

I'm from the South and it's really easy to make. It's technically a béchamel so it's just equal parts flour and fat. Brown the flour to get the raw cereal taste out, then add the milk and bring it up to temperature. When it gets hot, it will thicken. A word of warning for you, the more you cook the flour (and the more brown it gets), the less thickening power it will have. The sausage is actually an English breakfast sausage so it's the same sausage we fry patties with. Sausages with a casing are typically not used; however, we have made it with fried bologna (cut into small pieces) and even dried beef (S.O.S.).

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing your experience and tips on making this dish! It sounds delicious.

[@dianereeves8632]

Loved the video! You two are always adorable!! Glad you are out of your car. I wanted to be there eating biscuits and gravy. It looked delicious!

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for your kind words! we would recommend to Toute de Suite cafe, if you are ever in the area!

[@DeFeRnEy]

I LOVE Toute de Suite!! It’s my only must-eat every time I go home. So glad y’all had a great experience

[@thebritstry]

Yes! we loved it... it was a great laid back place and really nice people. Well worth the trip out of the center.

[@dcbamberger]

Now that's what I'm talking about! That is a slice of heaven right there. Glad you finally got some good biscuits and gravy. ❤❤😊❤😊❤

[@thebritstry]

So good! Wish we could have brought some back with us!

[@kebeatsasmr4447]

Another great video ❤️

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for taking the time towatch it!

[@RlKrav]

I am from California and we absolutely do not claim the biscuits and gravy you had here. Ive grown up with biscuits and gravy since childhood and always remember it like what you had in this video

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for watching!

[@Null_Experis]

If you want to make this at home once you return to the UK, it's very simple to make. US Biscuits are basically somewhat like savory scones made with buttermilk, where you mix in tiny chunks of cold butter into the dough to make pockets of air inside the final product. There's a LOT of butter in them. For the sausage gravy, it's quite simple. Get your favorite raw sausage (the more flavorful the better), remove it from the casing and cook it in a skillet. when it's about half done, add a tablespoon of butter, and 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour. You want a roughly equivalent volume of oil from the sausage and butter to flour, as you'll be making a roux. Mix this up and let it cook until the raw flour smell goes away and it gets just a little color. Then you'll add about 1.5 cups of whole milk to the skillet and stir/heat until it is thickened. If you want it thicker, add less milk. Thinner, add more. When it's about done, taste test it then add salt to your preference (you won't need much), and as mush fresh cracked black pepper as you like. Traditionally, we like a LOT of black pepper, but do as you wish. It's that simple.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for the detailed instructions! We live in San Diego Now but we can't wait to try making this at home.

[@SophiaCleo178]

You two are so lovely! I enjoy your channel so much!

[@thebritstry]

Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy our channel. Your support means the world to us!

[@2299jsimon]

My son-in-law went through college eating biscuits and gravy every morning... he makes it superbly.

[@thebritstry]

He sounds like a keeper!!! It such a hearty meal! and you can eat it at any time of the day!

[@reginahay5211]

Southern biscuits are tall, soft and fluffy on the inside, slightly crisp on both top and bottom. Gravy is made with meat drippings. Usually I cook the sausage, then save a couple Pattie’s and break them up into the gravy. Cook the roux until golden then add the milk (canned with a little water is best). Add salt (if needed) and pepper. Then serve with sausage and eggs. Or bacon and eggs. So easy and yet so good.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing your recipe! It sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it out myself.

[@IciziaFae]

I'm afraid I can't show your other video to my two southern work moms, they would comment 'Bless your hearts...'

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for looking out for us and thinking about how different audiences might react! Thanks for watching

[@tammymcc-n7652]

My Grandma was from Tennessee and was an amazing Southern cook. I learned so much from her. I introduced my Mexican husband to Biscuits and Gravy and he too was blown away! I’m not as good as my Grandma but I am not bad if I do say so myself! Glad you enjoyed the food!

[@thebritstry]

That is awesome! We definitely enjoyed it and can’t wait to try more southern food!

[@michelleperezmonroe1942]

Welcome to Louisiana! Hope y'all have a wonderful time and Happy Mardi Gras.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for having us! It was wonderful! we would definitely recommend New Orleans to anyone

[@sucktheheadsnola]

You were in my neighborhood! So glad you enjoyed it :)

[@thebritstry]

Wow! Really.... That's great! Wish we lived nearer Toute du suite cafe, the food was delicious. We have lots more videos from our trip coming soon, we will upload one tomorrow!

[@morganhale3434]

In the south biscuits & gravy means homemade biscuits, which are easy to make and can be completely done within a half hour (including cook time) when making from scratch and pork breakfast sausage in cream or white gravy with black pepper in it. The gravy is not made with cream, but milk added to the roux which is constituted from the rendered fat of the sausage. It is a delightful meal anyone can make at home and can be found in almost any restaurant in the south that has a breakfast menu.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing the details about this iconic southern dish! We will have to try and make some in the future.

[@tianam.964]

“I think there’s a chance we’ll be moving here very soon.” 😂😂😂 So glad you tried the real thing! 😋🤤

[@thebritstry]

LOL! I don't think he was kidding!!

[@tianam.964]

[@howshafern420]

Video Paused. Gets ready. Oh man real southern Biscuits And Gravy. Thanks for content Hope you got your fill of many foods while in the (NO Leans} New Oreleans

[@thebritstry]

It was delicious! and we tried lots of other dishes while there.. We would love to go back as we think you could spend weeks there try new things..Thanks for watching

[@spaceghost27]

it's so easy to make at home. give it a try.

[@thebritstry]

We will! but we are scared that is all we will eat once we know how to make it!😂

[@user-fc6nr1zd6f]

When they get home to Britain, they probably wont be able to get a good American comparable breakfast sausage. Sausages from other countries use different spice blends, creating different flavors, which could make their gravy very different than ours. I have watched many different videos of foreigners making American biscuits, and they seem to make a lot of Hockey Pucks.

[@Ojouraptor]

The sausage gravy is a southern classic! There is also another type called fatback gravy that when done right is delicious! I loved to sneak a bit of the crunchy fat back pieces while my Nana was cooking😋

[@tinahairston6383]

I TOTALLY forgot you said you were going to New Orleans within a few weeks of announcing. YAY!! NOW I'd love to see you try and make this at home! The recipes for both are really not that complicated. Now other Brits who will see this and KNOW biscuits in the US are NOTHING like scones, LOL!

[@thebritstry]

We will definitely have to try making this at home..... but it's too good!! We may never leave the house again😂

[@HARTHEFOX]

Thank yall for trying the real thing! ❤❤❤

[@thebritstry]

It was our pleasure ... We would definitely recommend Toute De Suite cafe was delicious. New Orleans was Amazing.

[@jeffmorse645]

At last! Real biscuits and gravy!😄 I have to say, I'm a native Californian, but Mom was from Oklahoma and a Southern cook for sure. She made biscuits and gravy for the family every weekend. Her biscuits were heaven and I have no idea how she made them - I've never had them like hers anywhere (and she's gone now so I can't ask how she did it!). Plus she would make white gravy from the pan drippings of any kind of breakfast meat - sausage, ham, bacon, pork chops, Spam - anything. I've even seen her make surprisingly good gravy from the drippings of fried bologna! But yeah, I never had decent biscuits and gravy in California outside our home.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for sharing about your mom's biscuits and gravy. It's amazing how food can hold such sentimental value and bring back cherished memories. We really enjoyed the food in New Orleans and we can't wait to explore more of the states!

[@o1badmofo763]

I adore how she decided that the biscuits and gravy were more important than Andrew 😆🤣😆. I’ve had physical altercations over biscuits and gravy. I will fight for that meal if done correctly.

[@thebritstry]

Lol! Who needs a significant other when you can have biscuits and gravy? Thanks for sharing

[@squidney672]

I am from New Jersey, we have a melting pot of cultures and cuisines and it’s lovely but it’s no where near what the south has to offer when it comes to dishes like biscuits and gravy. From what I have been told and seen, California is where Spanish and Mexican cuisine are 10/10 in a ton of different ways. I’d love to see you guys try California food trucks! Trying local hot spots as far as tacos and burritos and trying those types of dishes. When it comes to each state in the south, they are going to do something different but better than someone else. Kentucky bourbon vs Tennessee whiskey, Tex mex vs cal mex, Texas bbq vs Louisiana bbq, the vast amounts of desserts In every state. When it comes to locals they definitely know what is best when it comes to food, trust the locals

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the ideas! and thank you for watching. We would love to try the food trucks and will hopefully get round to filming this soon!

[@seangeorge4966]

I GREW UP on real southern biscuits and sausage gravy...watching yall enjoy that made me homesick...I want to fly home now and get some. 😋

[@thebritstry]

They are so delicious!😀

[@IIIIDCIIII]

Now this is true biscuits and gravy. Thank you for trying it in the south. Hope the experience was great. The south has so much to offer when it comes to food and hospitality.

[@thebritstry]

New Orleans was absolutely fantastic! The cuisine was incredibly delicious, and we found ourselves wishing we could have extended our stay to explore more. Stay tuned for a series of upcoming videos - we can't wait to share the highlights of our time in this vibrant city!

[@dianewillis2972]

I’m so glad you got to eat authentic biscuits and sausage gravy. I love watching you eat food here in the USA. I hope you will take some of the seafood dishes in New Orleans, I have developed a seafood allergy so I live vicariously through others as they enjoy eating it, I can eat fish and had the most delicious catfish I’ve ever eaten in New Orleans. Hope you’re having a wonderful time, can’t wait to see your next video 😊

[@thebritstry]

Thank you! we may have a crawfish boil video where one of us is scared to death!😂

[@tomtack2611]

I love this video Nicola, the way you defend your meal!!!

[@thebritstry]

Haha, I take my meals very seriously! Gotta defend them with all my might!

[@tompinnef6331]

Thank goodness you tried 'real' sausage and gravy. I make mine with 'spicy' sausage and my homemade roux. Nothing like real homemade sausage and gravy. Glad you found a good place to get it. It's hard to find good southern food up here in the Midwest. That's why I make my own.

[@thebritstry]

We need to try making this at home! the problem is, we might never want to leave home again! Thanks for sharing

[@lccastillo67]

Top with some Louisiana hot sauce and a side of good hash browns… perfection!

[@Tribal260]

finally New Orleans! enjoy

[@thebritstry]

New Orleans was amazing and would highly recommend it! the people are friendly and the food is delicious.. we have more videos to come

[@sitnhere]

There is also a southern recipe of biscuits & gravy cooked in a bacon drippings base and then served with medium done bacon.....another heavenly delight. You break up the bacon and add the chunks on top of the biscuit w/gravy.....absolutely Yum Yum. A side of eggs any style does the trick.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing! That sound delicious

[@paganbornspiritbear8249]
