I've always chopped a little cornbread in with my beans and rice or soup, etc.. That is allowed lol,

That's right. and the real key to southern cooking is there aren't that many "rules". It's comfort food, you eat it the way that brings you the most comfort.

You put butter on the cornbread while its warm. So good. I hope you get to try crawfish or shrimp Etoufee while you are there. I love it. I was born in north Louisiana. And we love our flavor in Louisiana. New Orleans is the best.

[@thesquid2794]

@phobiaone - What people that like to lay claim to New Orleans food will stop doing is giving credit to Cajun/ Creole people, when saying Creole food is another way of crediting French/ Cajuns with food that is not theirs and the continuing erasing of the enslaved Africans. New Orleans food is the food of the African enslaved people or considered Soul Food today but, you will not find any of these dishes being served in the Native American or french cultures. As for as Caribbean cultures, central and South American and even in South Carolina where the Gullah Ghee people live, they serve the same foods by similar names that is the culture of the enslaved people including BBQ. The only reason why people can lay claims to African Americans food is because, we never had or was given any money to make money off of our intellectual property or culture and our culture becomes American culture and currency for anyone that wants to claim it. We are America’s ORIGINAL TOP CHEF’s!

Cornbread is amazing EVERY way. By itself, coated in butter, soaking up juice from red beans and rice, crumbled up in gumbo, with a little honey on it, whatever you do with it is excellent. My family is from Appalachia, and our cornbread is much lighter in color, and prepared with buttermilk as an ingredient. Totally different flavor and texture, but just as versatile. I like all kinds/types of cornbread, and I really don't have a favorite, they're all delicious in their own way. Love your videos, and I love seeing you both enjoying yourselves and each other. ❤

Crystal brand hot sauce, the kind you used there, is my favorite brand of hot sauce. To me, it has just the right flavor. I am also a fan of most kinds of vinegar, malt, balsamic, cider, etc.

I'm from Mississippi about 3 hours north of New Orleans. I'm 60 now, but when I was young, my Mom would cook ham, black-eyed peas, butter beans and cornbread for supper. Sometimes we would have turnip greens and home made pepper sauce too for supper with the rest of it. We lived in Jackson, MS but half of our yard was a Garden that we worked in all the time. Then in the morning, Mom would warm up the left over cornbread in the oven, she would split it open and smother it in butter. Then we would pour some strong backstrap molasses over it for Breakfast with milk to wash it down. It was the BEST. I still love that sometimes for desert instead of breakfast. Another way to enjoy cornbread is to make it a little sweet like my Mom's, butter it, then pour black-eyed peas and juice over it.

Split the cornbread in half and spread plenty of butter. Done with the main dish? Here goes...crumble some cornbread in a soup bowl and cover with the main dish.

Great idea!! That sounds delicious...

[@tinahairston6383]

You watched the JOLLY video and they put the hot sauce on the jambalaya and that ruined it, lol. You just confirmed what Josh and Ollie said as well about the shrimp...you've been missing out. Too bad you didn't get to try the fried catfish. That's also some GOOOD eatin'! You need to make cornbread. It's another easy thing to make. There are two camps you'll find people in who love it, sweet and not sweet, lol. I don't mind either but I'd rather have sweet. I discovered a honey cornbread recipe that's fabulous and to cut through the sweet, I add black pepper....sooo yummy!!

[@thebritstry]

The cornbread we had was slightly sweet but not over the top sweet! It was delicious... We did try catfish while in town and will upload the video soon!

[@tinahairston6383]

@@thebritstry YAY!! So glad you didn't miss out on the that! Catfish, collard greens, cornbread or hush puppies...delish!!

[@caseynone6094]

So so happy that you are enjoying our food.

[@thebritstry]

So good, Lil Dizzy's was a really great experience.

[@DrVonChilla]

Put some butter on that cornbread...!! 😃

[@curtisrobinson7962]

Not a big fan of sweet cornbread sometimes it's so sweet it tastes like a dessert. But when done right it's deliciously crave worthy.

[@thebritstry]

We didn't think to ask for it! thanks for the tip, next time we will.

[@thebritstry]

Luckily the one we had wasn't overly sweet.

[@NicWilson-tr6lc]

I love this. The best food is in the south. Seeing people discover it is an amazing feeling for someone that worked in the restaurant industry.

[@thebritstry]

We loved it too! We had a great time at lil dizzys and New Orleans! Hopefully we can come back to explore more in the future. Thanks for watching

[@bigeric1982]

It doesn't need it but i always love hot sauce with my fired chicken.

[@thebritstry]

Unfortunately I'm not as much of a fan but Andrew Loved it! but he loves all spicy sauces! Is there a particular brand he should try?

[@-EchoesIntoEternity-]

@@thebritstry yes have him try Da Bomb hot sauce😁

I like how genuine they are, I like they're chemistry, and I think she has a great personality and I would want to see more from her. She could host something small. Her voice is nice. If she was hosting a nature documentary or something, her voice would be a really great note in something like that.

[@yaowsers77]

warm corn bread with a little butter...mmmm...

[@thebritstry]

So good! i wish we would have added butter now!! why didn't we think of that?

[@johnswift9851]

Thanks!

Thank you for your kind gesture! and Thanks for watching and commenting!

ALWAYS HOT SAUCE ON FRIED CHICKEN!!

Andrew loved it! i am still not so sure! Thanks for watching

Love you guys.

Thank you!

Traditionally Mondays is Red Beans and Rice day.

[@thebritstry]

It was delicious! we could eat it everyday..

[@L77045]

Grew up on Cajun, Creole, and Southern cooking. Glad to see the joy of it spreading so much in recent years.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for watching! The Food at Lil Dizzy's was delicious! we have a great time in New Orleans

[@Jeff_Lichtman]

Louis Armstrong, who was from New Orleans, would sign off his letters with "Red beans and ricely yours." There are as many recipes for gumbo as there are cooks. I didn't see any okra in it, so I suspect it was a filé gumbo (which uses powdered sassafras leaf instead of okra as a flavoring and thickener). Li'l Dizzy's has good po' boys. Maybe you could try one or more of those when you go back.

[@thebritstry]

That's a fascinating tidbit about Louis Armstrong! Thanks for sharing. We would have loved to have tried more food at Dizzy's, next time we would definitely head back again!

[@lboden7239]

Ahh, New Orleans! All the food is great. It's more than a hug from Grannie. It is a big kiss on the lips that you'll never forget!

[@thebritstry]

New Orleans truly is a culinary paradise! We had a great time there. Thanks for watching

[@Estenberg]

New Orleans is the BEST eating city in America, followed by New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Chicago, in that order. After that it's Canada, with Vancouver, followed by Toronto - Then Huston, Mexico City, Seattle, Santa Fe, and finally Miami. America, like Britain, used to be mediocre for food. But now America, like Britain, has some of the Best food in the World.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing your top picks for food cities! I'll definitely be adding these to my travel bucket list.

[@MizGator]

Oh, I just loved this video and I'm so happy you are in the south eating southern food! I'm so happy that Andrew tried the hot sauce on the fried chicken! I can't eat fried chicken without hot sauce! I also put hot sauce on almost everything, including red beans and rice, and gumbo. As far as the cornbread, most people just eat it with softened butter or plain. I'm obsessed with you two and I hope your channel continues to grow!

[@thebritstry]

It's so good! the fried chicken was delicious. We didn't think of asking for butter but i guess that would be delicious on cornbread! next time for sure... Thanks for watching and your very kind words..

[@patriciarouse16]

I love seeing more and more people venturing out from the tourist traps of the US and getting down to the south to experience (what I consider) some of the best eating you’ll find in all of the US.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing! Lil dizzys and New Orleans were both amazing

[@ASANA-SAI]

I grew up around New Orleans! It's fascinating to see people experiencing the food I grew up with for the first time! One thing to note : next time I recommend dipping the cornbread in the red beans and rice, or even crumbling it up and mixing it together (like one would crumble crackers into soup). It makes them less soupy, and the cornbread absorbs the juices without getting too soggy, adding a nice thick texture to the dish. As for where we get all those flavors for the gumbo, New Orleans is one of the oldest "melting pots" in the U.S. It's a mix of many cultures, especially when it comes to the food and spices. Great video! I'm hungry now.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing your insights! It's always great to hear from someone who knows the New Orleans food scene so well. Those tips on cornbread sound delicious!

[@djbradford3]

Thank you for coming down to Louisiana and trying our food. So many places advertise themselves as "Louisiana" or "Cajun", but nothing compares to the real thing. As a native south Louisianian it makes my heart happy seeing you two experience this kind of food for the first time :-)

[@thebritstry]

It was such a pleasure to visit Louisiana and experience the authentic cuisine. We had a great time and will be back!

[@marlies7444]

Great video. Watching you both light up and enjoying the "spices" makes me chuckle a bit. In my head I was saying get some hot sauce when you first tried the chicken, and was elated that you did. A vinegar heavy hot sauce like the one you had is fantastic for greasy foods. Kind of in the UK adding malt vinegar to fish and chips. I also ad that kind of hot sauce to fried fish. The Crystal brand as well as Louisiana and Texas Pete are great. For wings the Frank's Red Hot is usually used. But I think all the above mention are good. For Mexican dishes I like Cholula and Tapatio. Even the red beans and rice seem to be flavor bombs. Which makes me wonder what the English beans taste like, and if you are able to go back to eating them after having eaten beans in the US. Not sure if you had Mexican refried or pinto beans. And in the south we also have navy beans (or white beans). BBQ baked beans tend to be sweet. Looking forward to your next adventure.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for your detailed comment and for sharing your hot sauce recommendations! Andrew loves hot spicy sauces so i am sure he will work his way through your list!

[@1newbert]

Good choices. Never been to Dizzy’s. I’ll have to check it out on my next visit.

[@thebritstry]

Definitely worth a visit! It was delicious.... from what we understand it can get busy though, so check the best times to visit.

One of my favorite comfort foods I learned from my grandma. Hot from the oven corn bread with butter on it in a bowl with a little cold milk poured over it. 🥰
