Brits Try Southern Desserts For The First Time In New Orleans USA

[@tony_25or6to4]

Pralines should not have peanuts. Only pecans. Similar to toffee, but the sugar is crystalized or grainy.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing. We were not sure at the time.

[@myibook141]

I’ve had them with peanuts, walnuts or pecans. But pecans are the original nut that goes in them

[@kerrypickens8594]

Praline shops offer variety of options including the standard pecan praline

[@russellrofe4849]

The taste of honey varies widely because it is made from pollen of different plants. The type of flower comes through in the honey.

[@michaelairheart6921]

The taste of honey does vary according to the type of flower but it is made from the nectar not the pollen. The bees use the pollen to make food that contains protein. They eat the honey for energy.

[@pjschmid2251]

@@michaelairheart6921 thank you for this because I was like wait a minute honey isn’t made from pollen it’s made from nectar, which is The sugar that the flower produces to attract pollinators. The pollen is what the pollinator moves from flower to flower.

Big time..i don't like wildflower honey but love orange blossom and other honeys

[@CrazyJodice]

Very true,

[@walterrutherford8321]

I didn’t know how great a difference there was until I tried my first orange blossom honey. OMG! Don’t get me wrong, I love clover and fireweed honey, but orange honey is in a realm of its own. My only regret is the store also had jalapeño blossom honey, and I didn’t try that.

[@MrBigPicture835]

Pralines are more traditionally done with pecans.

[@thebritstry]

They were so moreish! Thanks for sharing. We didn't know what was in them at first.

[@brianbrooks-in5yy]

Listen here's a secrete, when you go to a town or city to do a food tasting make sure you first ask the locals where's the best place that serves the best food you want to try! They might tell you different places for each type of food, but that's alright. Just because it's a fancy place doesn't mean you'll try the best in town. Ask the locals first!

Surprised that beignets were not tried. They are a desert staple in New Orleans

[@thebritstry]

We tried them in a separate video! Everybody told us to try them while in New Orleans, so we thought they deserved a stand alone video! here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKPQent_asiSja8

[@susandooley9630]

I was going to say the same thing…beignets with chicory coffee at Cafe du Monde’s…haven’t had since 1972!!

And they were right there by Cafe Du Mondes.

[@kenadkins1360]

You guys really must try peach cobbler while in the south it's unbelievable

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the suggestion... We will soon! watch this space..

[@Miesque1973]

I've never had bread pudding. Which is surprising, considering my obsessive, stalker-like adoration of peach cobbler. Light, warm and fluffy biscuits with butter and grape jam are beyond wonderful. Banana pudding with whipped cream and nilla wafers... oh... I gotta lie down now. It's just after 2am and it's not appropriate to eat stuff like that now. But I did make key lime/whipped cream pie for my brother's birthday and there had better be some left. Have y'all had pancakes? Like the kind you get at a diner, waffle house or IHOP? Marvellous stuff. Or peanut butter with pancake syrup? Mix one tablespoon or slightly less of peanut butter (Jiff creamy PB is best) and enough syrup to make the mixture runny, then dip it up with bread. Don't make too much or you'll have more than you can deal with and a mess to clean up to boot. I know some people use honey for the mixture but I didn't care for it. Either way, I call it Hillbilly Fondue. 😊 Pralines are not my thing, because they always have pecans in them, in Texas, and I hate pecans.

[@kennethnash598]

You need a peach cobbler from a dutch oven

[@jeffhampton2767]

I am so jealous. Banana Foster is absolutely so delicious. One of the best desserts ever invented❤❤❤

[@thebritstry]

We had a great experience at Brennans in New Orleans!

[@davemcbroom695]

Here in the Midwest y'all get vanilla ice cream with bread pudding. With or without raisins is the big squabble round here.

[@thebritstry]

We probably should have asked for some ice cream but neither of us wanted to leave the table once the bread pudding arrived 😂

[@myibook141]

Sounds like the Midwest needs to stop messing with banana pudding 😂🤣😂

[@bengilbert7655]

Traditionally, for banana pudding you made a meringue from the leftover egg whites and used that for a topping instead off whipped cream.

[@1newbert]

Thank you

[@krisschobelock4973]

I don't put any whipped or meringue on top . . . just vanilla wafer crumb....I use evaporated milk in the pudding - that's my secret! It is SOOO YUMMY!

[@TraceTrace25]

I think it’s a personal/regional thing. My Mississippi born and raised parents never added a meringue. My sister does now though when she makes hers. 😂

[@johnnyhancock76]

Not in Texas. I’ve never seen meringue used and I’m a nanner pudding fanatic. We put it on custard pies though.

[@1newbert]

@@johnnyhancock76 meringue is traditional even in Texas as I have lived there for 7 decades. Restaurants rarely do it because it is more difficult and has a shorter shelf life.

[@davidcopple8071]

Bananas Fosters over Belgium Waffles is amazing! Not to toot my own horn. But I'm a retired chef and banana Foster's over Belgium waffles was one of my creations and it was a momumental favorite.

[@thebritstry]

That does sound delicious!! We just wish the Banana's were a little more caramelized. But i suppose everyone's taste is different.

[@darkamora5123]

​@thebritstry The bananas were absolutely caramelized. You see, caramelized, when talking about a fruit or vegetable, doesn't equate to crispy. When a food contains natural sugar you apply heat to develop those natural sugars into the brown color and nutty flavor of caramel. Typically that results in a firm fruit or vegetable ending up softer. Caramelized onions for instance get brown, taste sweeter, and their consistency is essentially wilted. Caramelized bananas would also soften as the heat breaks down the sugars, almost artificially ripening them. While the sauce was caramel, that is also syrupy not crunchy, it thickens, but doesn't harden when it cools. What you seem to be describing as what you expected a caramelized fruit to be like sounds more like glacé fruit (bananas in this case) which is coating them in a sugar syrup that crystallizes when it cools, giving it a crunchy texture. I think this is just a case of misunderstanding what caramelization means and forming expectations based on that misunderstanding. Nothing wrong with that, mistakes happen, but as someone who has worked in kitchens for decades there I can, again, tell you that the soft consistency is 100% how caramelized bananas should present. If they had been crunchy with the sugar something would been done wrong.

[@jeffhampton2767]

​@@darkamora5123how was the chef for over 30 years in the Banana Foster appeared to be made correctly. To me it looked delicious

[@Cody38Super]

Pralines can be one of several different nuts. But Southern US is almost exclusively Pecans, whereas France is Almonds, or I believe sometimes even Walnuts.

[@thebritstry]

It's interesting how a simple treat like pralines can have such regional variations in the choice of nuts!

[@CreoleNOLAMix]

I'm from New Orleans where Pralines originated from"" We do not put other nut in our Praline... If you were born and raised here" Then you know the only nut we add to them is PEACAN.

Hey y'all. You could make Southern baked banana pudding. It is topped with meringue not cream.

I use to travel for work and a gent that traveled with us discovered Bread Pudding. He fell in love with it and every city we went to he'd order the Bread Pudding if it was on the menu. There were surprising differences in how it was made he/we discovered since it was so easy to make people began adding to it to make it stand out from other places.

We loved it! and would definitely try it again! it's so interesting how there can be subtle differences in how food is made.

[@krismcbride7253]

There are two types of banana pudding. The one that is cooked with a meringue topping and one served cold with whipped cream. I think both are good. I do hope you got the chance to try peach cobbler with ice cream because that's just heavenly.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for watching. We didn't get chance to try peach cobbler, on this trip. The restaurant we went to was closed and we didn't have time to find it anywhere else. We do have plans to get some soon though!! watch this space

[@tinahairston6383]

For the banana pudding, it's generally not topped with cream but with a meringue that it then baked to give it some color. You can totally make the banana pudding. I don't eat banana pudding but growing up watching my mom make it, I totally know how it's done, lol. Grab a box of Nilla Wafers and the recipe is usually on the label. For the Banana's Foster, I don't think the bananas are supposed to be caramelized. This is the second time I've seen this done and they're definitely not on there long enough to caramelized. I know people definitely eat a scoop of ice cream with their bread pudding. The trick with the honey is to not do too much, lol. You liked that first bite and then you double dipped and that's what got you. A nice thin drizzle is all you need and good quality honey helps.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the tips and insights! I appreciate your advice on making the banana pudding.

i'm the opposite. grew up with biscuits with country ham and eggs or with gravy, seeing biscuits with icing and sugar and jelly is weird to me. grew up in the south

[@TraceTrace25]

@@jishani1 It’s funny how things are different from household to household. I feel like people only review them on YT as savory items so it’s refreshing to see them how I grew up with them. Also, I’ve never had them with icing. Biscuits were always a breakfast add on in place of toast(made with butter on the stove top). With savory items like grits, eggs, bacon, sausage or these red sausage links. We didn’t eat country ham(I assume it’s regional). My parents were born and raised in Mississippi and I’m a first generation Northerner. I had the best home cooked meals compared to my friends whose families are from the North. lol it was all Southern Hospitality at home.

Check some cookbooks for a banana pudding recipe. The vanilla pudding should be cooked on the stovetop and not instant! It is topped with merengue, but you can leave it off if you want. Eat it warm, then refrigerate it and eat it cold the next day! It is yummy both ways!

I just saw your vid on Brennans. I used to bartend there in the 90s. One point is that the post of New Orleans was a big impoter of bananas fromsouth America . Owen wanted to do something to incorporate them. Btw I always thought bananas foster was the worse thing on the menu. The boring chocolate cake there was amazing. I like bananas too but it let me down always. The turtle soup, Jackson said, filet Stanley are all wow and everything else but the fosters.

Nana pudding , cover the bottom of dish with bills wafers and side of dish , vanilla cook n serve pudding. Or instant , when it’s cooled add a can of condensed milk. Mix it well cover wafers with bananas sliced . Dump the pudding on the bananas and wafers , then cover the top with wafers . I’m with her , don’t put cream on top unless you want it in your serving . Also it’s a big dish with a full can of condensed milk . It’s fast and easy and delicious .

Thanks for the tips! That sounds delicious..

Peach cobbler is a must. Hot peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream.

[@thebritstry]

Hot peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream - a match made in dessert heaven!

[@jeffbartholomew1152]

I’m going to agree with y’all here. I’m southern and never cared much for bananas foster or pralines. I was also raised with baked banana pudding with a meringue top. Even when I’ve had the refrigerator version, it hasn’t come with just a whipped cream topping. But everyone has their own slant on cooking and baking so you’ll encounter just about any and all culinary styles in your food journey!

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for watching. It's interesting how everyone has their own unique tastes when it comes to food!

[@janetmoreno8909]

MY favorite part of bread pudding is the corners. I've never had biscuits and jam as a desert it's always been more of a breakfast item. Banana pudding, is easy and simple to make at home for yourself (you can forgo the whipped cream if you don't like it, I'm not a huge fan myself). They have different types of honey, the taste will vary depending on the flowers used, the lighter ones tend to be milder where the darker ones will tend to have a stronger flavor. Other southern deserts, Peach cobbler, Sweat Potato Pie, Pecan Pie (with ice cream), Hummingbird Cake.

[@thebritstry]

The corners are definitely the best part!! Thank you for sharing your dessert favorites! we appreciate the variety you've mentioned.

[@karladoesstuff]

It's brown sugar and pecans, with butter. My mother used to make pralines. It's a lot like making fudge.

[@thebritstry]

They were delicious! the sweet sugary rush.. tasted so good.

[@colinjames7569]

Proper bread pudding is effing amazing ❤

[@thebritstry]

So good! it was delicious.

[@dalehammers4425]

Bread pudding quite often (if not usually) goes with vanilla ice cream.

[@thebritstry]

Yes, we can see that would work. Delicious

[@rickmartin2944]

I have not heard either of you mention Apple Butter on biscuits. It's not butter or sauce but a smooth mashed apple condiment with a spiced taste. Butter a warm biscuit, then spread on the apple butter.. yummy..

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing!! we completely missed that!! Next time we will definitely give that a try. Thanks for watching

[@rickmartin2944]

@@thebritstry Thanks for noticing! You surprised me!

[@kimthames2531]

Maybe you did treat it like a scone, but that also happens to be the way we treat a biscuit! Lots of people, most people open up the biscuit put the butter and the jam in the middle. Of course you're welcome to try it my way. I put butter on the top. I also put butter with jam or honey on the top of the biscuit. And then I might cut it in half and I mean top to bottom and then I add more butter and jam if I want it etc.on the cut sides. that's my unique way of doing it.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing your biscuit technique, We might just have to give it a try!

[@walterrutherford8321]

I believe praline is always pecan, candied pecan. I always hear bananas Foster and cherries jubilee mentioned together. I think because they’re both fancy desserts.

[@melaniebosel1451]

We add vanilla ice cream or whip cream to bread pudding it's amazing

[@thebritstry]

Oh yes!! that would be.. Thanks for watching!

[@eirrenia]

Hey, honesty is good.

[@thebritstry]

Thank you for watching

[@livinginparallel]

Hope you guys have tried fresh baked traditional homemade banana pudding too🫶🥲

[@thebritstry]

We struggled a little. The couple of popular places were closed on those days and the Banana pudding we did get was more of a fusion dessert. We eventually ran out of time but we are really keen to find some soon!

[@MizGator]

Oh I absolutely love bread pudding. It does often times come with a cream sauce or ice cream. The first bread puddings you've had is unfortunately very common. All bread puddings are just day old bread, soaked with cream, eggs, spices, sugar, then baked. So, you will just have to find a place that makes it not as stiff as the first place you tried! I'm happy you tried biscuits and honey! A little heavy on the honey though, but none the less, thank you for trying it! I always prefer butter and jam, but if no jam is available, honey will do. Bananas foster also isn't my favorite, I'm weirded out by cooked bananas. lol

[@thebritstry]

The bread pudding was delicious!!! Ice cream would have been perfect.. The biscuits with honey was good but the one we had with jam was outstanding. The experience at Brennans was great! and we are glad we tried it. The sauce delicious.... but for dessert at $28 we just expected a little more.. we could see how with more caramelization the Bananas would have been sweet and tasty. Ours just wasn't like that.

[@darkangel_1978]

Yeah down here in Louisiana, we have summer like 10 months out of the year. Perks of living near the equator.

[@thebritstry]

The weather was perfect when we went, not to hot and not to cold!

[@darkangel_1978]

@@thebritstry oh yeah. It has been lovely lately. I've been living in Louisiana for nearly 12 years. It's great.

There are hundreds of kinds of honey. It depends on what the bee forage for. I like orange blossom honey. There was a story of a bee keeper that had blue honey. He traced it back to the dumpster of a candy company that had dumped a batch of blue hard candies. The bees found it and were eating the blue candies. They may have been blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers.

[@geegs120]

OMG the story of the blue honey is incredible and so funny!

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the information! that's such a great story on how foods are made or start!

[@EricWoodyVariety59]

You should try homemade rice pudding with lemon sauce.and raisins.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the tip! We have never had it with Lemon sauce!

[@LMmccallL57]

I love rice pudding, but can't stand it with raisins. Hopefully you can try it both ways.

[@ashleygalliano8553]

I'm from the cut off area in Louisiana not far from New Orleans and i work at cher amies seafood restaurant and you can order a bread pudding a la mode and it comes with white chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream

[@thebritstry]

That sounds AMAZING! Next time we will have to go there. Thanks for the info

[@wintermoondardar1277]

Cher amies has some of the best fried oysters for sure. I am from the Westbank of New Orleans. I lived on the Bayou for 17 years up until a couple of years ago. Came back to the city. Sure do miss Cher amies.

[@kamiko70]

different places makes different bread pudding. ive got recipes that tell me to tear the bread into cubes, and soak it overnight. it turned out like the first bread pudding you had. ive got recipes that has the bread sticking out of the sauce, it will look and taste like your having now. so i think bread pudding is regional, and what goes in it. i can imagines chocolate chips or pecans would be good in a bread pudding. looks like they used cinnamon rols instead of plain bread or brioche bread.

[@thebritstry]

It's fascinating how different regions have their own take on bread pudding! The variety of recipes and ingredients definitely adds to the fun of trying new versions. Thanks for watching

[@jeffkuipers1030]

HONEY is one of those things you either like it or hate it. I LOVE IT i put it on toast,bagel,waffle,English muffin,pancakes.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for sharing your love for honey! We probably need to give it another try, we believe there are many different styles on honey.

[@SBC581]

Lol! "I don't like cream". 6:17 Then she knocks his hand out of the way to get more.

[@bryanobrien2726]

I've never tried Bananas Foster . I'm slightly allergic to bananas and usually steer clear , but I still eat banana pudding or banana bread once in a while.

[@thebritstry]

The sauce with banana foster was delicious and it was a great experience but it was $28. The Bread pudding we have was outstanding.

[@Pichouette]

I had my 1st Bananas Foster at Brennan's ❤ My great grandmother used to make pralines. She never put chocolate in it and only used pecans (that we picked ourselves), never peanuts. Btw, I'm in South Louisiana 😊

[@thebritstry]

Banana's foster at Brennans was a get experience! The pralines were delicious

[@Trep-k1z]

Great reaction n video finally real bread pudding !

[@randymaxwell457]

When you get back here to San Diego, check out there places. Bud's Louisiana Cafe, Surf & Soul Spot, The Crack Shack, Bowlegged BBQ. Felix's BBQ With Soul, Smokin J's BBQ, and Coop's West Texas BBQ.

[@thebritstry]

Thanks for the recommendations! which one is your favorite?

[@randymaxwell457]

@thebritstry That's a very good question. They're all my favorites but seeing how much you enjoyed New Orleans, give Bud's Louisiana Cafe a try you will not be disappointed!

[@breezelady]

Bread pudding is usually served with ice cream. It's so good!

[@thebritstry]

That would have been perfect! but what flavor ice cream would you choose?

[@mizztab3677]

if you want the food a certain way most of the time the staff will do it. Like more of something or leave something off, add something to it might cost extra depending on what it is, or if you want some jam instead of honey that kind of thing.

[@savannah65]

I suggest that you try bananas foster in a few other restaurants. Just like bread pudding, the taste may vary.

[@thebritstry]

We absolutely would try it again in the future, The sauce was delicious We just wish the Banana's were a little more caramelized. But we suppose everyone's tastebuds are different.
