To make BBQ you need to order Rendezvous BBQ sauce and dry rub. Order Hickory wood chips. Boil ribs in water on stove until they soften. Coat in white vinegar and rub down with dry rub. Put on charcoal grill with the hickory chips. Cook low heat and covered until the bones almost fall out. Add BBQ sauce and serve. Memphis style BBQ.Don't have to leave England. Pulled pork is BBQ shoulder cooked at 275 f in oven for as long as it takes for meat to fall off the bone. Maybe 10 hours. Pull off meat in VERY large chunks and put on grill and cook like ribs. The beans are same as breakfast beans . Add chopped onion ,brown sugar, mustard ,catsup, Lay smoked bacon strips across top (1-2) strips.Cook in oven in a small pan at 300f until bacon looks cooked crispy. Dice bacon after it cooks and add back to beans. sugar is about 1/4 cup per can and mustard is about 3tbsp. per can and catsup is 1/3c.You can add 1/2 tsp. dry curry if you want. Makes Brown BBQ beans. Best grill is a kettle grill with lid. Split chicken is cooked same as ribs.Its not EXACTLY how we cook it in Memphis but close enough. Get sauce and rub online.

I use the twist and pull method on the wing. You twist one bone and pull it out and all the meat is on one of the bones and just stick it in your mouth and pull the meat off with your mouth. Less messy that way.

Making Texas style brisket this weekend, as it happens. I live in Nebraska but previously lived in Texas for 17 years where I learned to properly barbecue. I have family coming from the other side of Omaha and from across the state in Wyoming for the barbecue. As others have mentioned, okra is a vegetable. I grow a little in my garden every year. Great in soups and gumbos.

[@david-1775]

This was such a great video. WAY too many times people who have no idea what they are doing come over to try BBQ in the South for the first time and mess it up. They always end up ordering one off stuff that nobody ever really eats, or worse eating in boutique restaurants that try to fancy up traditional Southern comfort food. Noah really did an amazing job helping these guys order the right things and showing them everything. And yes, when done right, it REALLY is that good. Oh... and 2:50 James' reaction is wonderful.

I believe these guys did a video where British kids in grade nine try American biscuits and gravy. It was surprising to me what they say about it. Okra is a vegetable.

[@Bacopa68]

Yeah, the kids thought biscuits were weird scones, which is true. But what they did not get is that the gravy is béchamel sauce made the way rustic French people really made it hundreds of years ago. Similarly, the Chicken Fried Steak of Texas is the actual real schnitzel impoverished Germans made 150 years ago. But we serve it with cream gravy, which is béchamel.

[@americansmark]

You'd enjoy most of it, I imagine. Brunswick stew is a hearty tomato-based stew with beans, veggies, and some sort of game meat. Every area does it a bit different, but the dies is the same. The brisket is an experience. People often say it is like meat and more like beefy butter. It has the softest texture and a very mild smoked taste without seasoning or sauce added. BBQ baked beans are my favorite summer side. I grow my own beans and make it fresh. Some other sides I don't see on this table are baked Mac n Cheese, hush puppies, banana bread pudding, and devil's food cake. Yum!

[@Marthyboy88]

Congrats on the baby!!!! If you guys ever do get the chance to come to the US, I highly recommend the South. A lot of people want to to visit LA or NYC, but honestly, the South is just SO much more laid back, with just as much to keep you occupied, and absolutely amazing regional food. In terms of the south, Florida is usually where people like because the Gulf beaches are nice with White sand, or Miami (I don't recommend Miami, especially if you have kids), but where these 2 went (Savannah, GA) is AMAZING for families, and WAYYYY more chill. They have beaches a short ride away on Tybee Island, some AMAZING history (pirates and all kinds of stuff), lots of drinking culture (if you're into that), and great places for families, and as you can see in this vid, insanely good food.

Real Southern food, such as this, does not just involve "frying" everything. Some of the best cooked pork/Beef dishes I have ever had have come out of the (barbecue) pits of a Southern Pitmaster with decades of experience perfecting the smoking/cooking process.

[@Wiley_Coyote]

Frying is for the bacon, some of the sides, and the chicken (and occasionally fish).

Okra: a green vegetable that very closely resembles a jalapeños shape but has more of a squash like texture. When you eat it raw it’s slightly crunchy but when you do the glorious wonderfulness of deep frying it in a light breading, it gets sort of slimy & soft on the inside. Very tasty fried! Heck, I’ve even baked okra before and it still turned out amazing.

[@kennyjohnson7051]

There are several Texas BBQ restaurants in London. You should do a reaction from one. You'll need a lot of napkins or paper towels but you're going to love every bite of it.

[@causticchameleon7861]

Brunswick stew is not an acquired taste but more of a acquired visual. Most people not of the south, get a bit queasy at the sight of Brunswick stew but the taste is amazing. So close your eyes and take a heaping spoonful. You’ll love it. Our baked beans are generally dark brown from the brown sugar in them and topped with onions and bacon. Okra is a vegetable of the south. Served fried (my favorite), stewed, boiled, broiled, pickled, or served in gumbo. It goes well with fried green tomatoes and grits. We used to grow okra in the backyard and had to pick it with gloves on because of the prickly thorns/spikes/needles (need help here. Not sure what to call the prickly fuzz on the plant)
