[@jacoblongbrake8230]

It's not true. There's chicken fried steak, which is pounded out chicken fillets. There's pork fried steak which is pounded out pork chop that's boneless. Then there's beef fried steak which is not called that but you use beef pounded out. It just depends on what meat you're using. Just pounded out meat and breaded with gravy poured over. Chicken fried steak is chicken, duh. People just say chicken fried steak when it's cooked that way, but really, they're wrong. Hopefully now you understand but with a quick Google search you would know😊

In and of itself, brisket tastes very blah to me, which is probably why it's frequently barbecued or turned into corned beef to give it some flavor.

I'm from Colorado and I don't know a single person that's eaten rocky mountain oysters. We were actually told what they were as kids to prevent us from trying them, but that's just my experience.

My personal favorite comfort food is either a bacon double cheeseburger or a pizza with pepperoni, bacon, and garlic butter or ranch to dip it in.

I'm in southeast Nebraska and mountain oysters are actually quite popular here. Lots of mountain oyster feeds where they are all you can eat nights...lol Yes I have tried them a couple different times and they are just OK, but nothing special. They are sliced so thin and breaded and deep fried that they just taste the breading. I've seen people dip them in ketchup, but the absolute worst thing I witnessed was an older married couple get a whole piled up plateful of them each, and sat there and picked all the breading off and just eat the meat..lol. reminded me of a vampire or something cuz they were just ravenous going at them 🤣🤣🤢

Alabama white sauce is a white barbecue sauce, made famous by a place over here called Big Jim's Barbecue. They actually sell it on Amazon, well the US Amazon, not sure if you could get it over there. But it's...tangy and mayo and mustard forward, with apple cider vinegar and brown sugar.

11:56 Yes, prior to WW1, there were actually a lot of Germans in Russia. My own great grandparents were a German man and his German-Jewish wife, both born and raised in Russia. See, in the 1800's the Russian government noticed they had a bunch of wild land perfect for farming along the German boarder just going unused. They invited landless German farmers to come, tame a chunk and build a farm. They'd then be allowed to lease the land for a yearly percentage of their crops.

[@Ussnowbunny]

Vermonter here, yep, Maple Syrup comes from the sugar maple tree. We tap our trees the old fashioned way (a metal spicket tap, and a metal bucket to catch the sap.) around mid february, depending on the amount of snow around the base of the trees. We gather, we boil in our sugar shack, the longer the boil, the deeper the color and flavor. YUMMM It's the only syrup an Vermonter should ever use. We bring a small travel bottle with us when we travel out of state.

I’m on my last day of my Maine vacation and fresh lobster is everywhere. You can walk down to the docks and watch the lobster boats come in and unload lobsters just pulled from the ocean. You can buy them right there and bring them home, cooked or uncooked, or you can order a steamed lobster dinner to eat there. The other day I went to a traditional clambake where your meal came with a cup of clam chowder, two lobsters, corn on the cob, steamers, a baked potato, a hard boiled egg, a boiled onion (don’t know why), plus homemade blueberry cake. All for $50!! It was delicious but boy, was I full.

Next time you're in Florida, get away from the parks, and visit beautiful downtown Orlando and Winter Park. Quaint, lots of food options - including real Cuban sandwiches. They're ham, pulled pork, swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard. I'm not a fan of pickles but I'll eat them on a Cuban sandwich. So good! But you have to get to "real" parts of town, because the parks have you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel everything they want you to. I think you'd like meeting Floridians.

The next time that you come to the US be sure to visit Texas. We'll show you what brisket is. It's a tough cut of meat that's slow smoked until it's so tender that it almost falls apart. If it's done right it doesn't even need sauce. But some people top a brisket sandwich with sauce, pickles and onions. It's the best food in the world. Check out Jolly to see how nuts they went over Terry Black's barbeque. They both said it was probably the best meal that they'd had in their lives. Once you come here, you'll want to stay and be a Texan.

But when I was a teenager my boyfriend got me started on Rotel but not with Velveeta but with Campbell's Cheese Soup. Their cheese soup changed since then but still good. I usually just add some American or Cheddar cheese to it to. Still good and still brings back memories of my teenage year's. I lived in a spot in the road place called Bexar. My boyfriend and I would go to the tiny town with a pop. of 327, a tiny spot in the road town where I went to school. On the state highway going through it, if you blinked, you would miss it. 😂 Anyways, we would go to the only convenience store there and get the Rotel and cheese soup. And get this, we ate it with Ruffles, not tortilla chips. And I still prefer it that way. Lengthy comment, I know.

14:26 To answer your question, I believe its a muscle just above the shoulder and, the reason you don't hear of it much is because _outside_ of the US, its not really considered a good cut of meat. The reason for this is because it is very difficult to cook if you don't know what you're doing. Part of why American's consider it such an important cut and value good brisket so much is because of the difficulty. Its a mark of pride to be able to cook it well.

Crab cakes honestly taste like whatever you put in it. So if you put celery, onions, and crab in it, it’s going to taste like crab, celery, and onions. And if you really wanna mess around and find out, put chili over top of pasta (spaghetti or elbow pasta) it’s something that is huge where I live (Cincinnati, Ohio.) And yes, there is cheese in a proper pepperoni roll. If it doesn’t have cheese in it, it’s not a proper pepperoni roll. The school I taught at in West Virginia serves pepperoni rolls on the last Friday of every month for lunch and I still have dreams of Pepperoni Roll Fridays because they were that good.

Alabama White Sauce is a white barbecue sauce with a mayonnaise base rather than tomato. It's highly addictive and works well with smoked or grilled chicken, fish, and even lean meats like beef or pork loin (by adding a fat/acidic hit). Here's a recipe with some history of where it comes from at the end. You have no idea what you've been missing if you haven't tried this stuff...while runny, it even works as a sandwich condiment. You can copy/paste this to a Word doc or similar: Alabama White Barbecue Sauce ½ cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 1½ teaspoons prepared horseradish, drained ½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, optional ½ teaspoon garlic powder ½ teaspoon black pepper 1/8-¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (normal to spicy, I like it spicy) Whisk all the ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Seal the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for the garlic and spices to mingle. Makes almost ¾ cup of sauce. Makes enough sauce to use alongside a single smoked turkey breast, if cooking two breasts, double the recipe. Also works well with chicken parts (they dip them in the sauce before serving in Alabama). Few people outside the south are aware of a non-tomato based barbecue sauce for use with poultry (or even lean pork or beef). Bob Gibson (of Decatur Alabama) is credited with concocting a white BBQ sauce back in 1925. His restaurant is still open for dining, it’s “Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q”. Here in the south white BBQ sauce is usually referred to as just “white sauce”. Not only can you use it as an all-purpose table sauce but you can marinate with it and use it to baste the meat while cooking (though few places do). It seems that smoking turkey breasts started in Alabama (usually with a simple salt/black pepper/garlic powder/onion powder dry rub) and “white sauce” is usually served on the side rather than poured over the meat. Ingredients for this sauce vary from place to place in the Southern U.S.A., some are as simple as four ingredients: mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and coarsely ground pepper. Others are a bit more extensive. Some flow like milk, others like thick salad dressing. It all depends on where you go to eat. Once you try white BBQ sauce you’ll be hooked. Not only does “white sauce” go with poultry, consider using it on/with grilled fish, it’s delicious. I like it with a turkey/chicken sandwich. This recipe is inspired by one from Cooks Country magazine (June/July 2016 edition) and one from a local (now closed) BBQ joint, Jack of Hearts. I’ve made a number of personal edits to make it even more flavorful.

A brief history if Rocky Mountain Oysters. They started out as being the part you tossed but meat production cost went up during the late 1700's and early 1800's with expansion. So, they started saving every part possible in order to sell. However, they may have gotten their name from the fact you only got so much from a bull and it's a low amount, like meat from an oyster.

Adam something you may be interested in is The Bonneville Salt Flats. This is a dry Salt Lake located in the state of Utah where every year people build cars, some are called streamliners. There are a number of classes and people try to beat the previous years land speed record. Some cars reach speeds of over 600 MPH. May wish to have a look. Thankyou.

Originally from Virginia and I would say just as well known for peanuts as Smithfield ham which btw is akin to a salt lick. Don't eat it if you have high blood pressure. Also brisket is AMAZING if done properly and bland and tough if done improperly. And NC bbq is also vinegar based and delicious. Really hard to find outside of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

I'm from Oregon(BTW, Marionberry pie is incredible) and I absolutely agree with you on coffee! Oregonian and Washingtonian "mom and pop" coffee places are the best coffee shops I've ever been to, and I've travelled a lot. Speaking of which, I just visited Montana a few weeks ago I never knew huckleberries were so delicious. I thought maybe their popularity was a gimmicky way to make use of the huckleberries that grow absolutely everywhere, but it's not. They're SO delicious. They kind of taste like a blackberry but look like/have the texture of a blueberry.

It might be an easier go to try crab in a crab cake instead of just the crab on its own. There are a handful of styles of crab cakes and they are easy to make at home.

Former barista who worked at THE coffee chain for 5 years, then 5 years at various cafe's as a barista. I was a corprate barista for texas instruments hq. I was taught how to find the perfect coffee to water ratio and calibrate it by a guy who runs a barista university in central america at my last barista gig. Ive used local roasters and ive had the big names too. Oh and I was taight at one plc by the lady who help train the first sbux, pikes peak, all yhe things we were taught at sbux were gimics. They "roast past the third pop" because it brings out the flavor. Nah just burns the beans. Long story short, the best were the local roasters.

As a Louisiana native, New Orleans born and raised, you're 100% right about gumbo. It is aesthetically so unappealing 😂, but when made well, it's amazing. I personally prefer crawfish etoufee, but gumbo is great as well.

[@QueSarahSarah72]

Utah and jello is an old thing, but i think the preferred treat is what we call scones, which is basically fried dough. I'm not a Utah resident, but I live in southeast Idaho along the border of Utah. Our town may as well be an extention of Utah state. Anyway, a lot of the local restaurants i go to in Northern Utah have scones listed among the desserts. Every country fair has at least one booth with scones. Someone in the comments mentioned funeral potatoes which is also tasty. But for dessert a simple fried "utah scone" topped with powdered sugar is really delicious.

North Carolina, (Home!), Lexington BBQ! A pork shoulder smoked until it falls off the bone, pulled apart, just a kiss of good sauce... *gurgle* *drool* *burp*

[@laguzl]

My husband is from Bakersfield, CA and their school lunches serve chili with cornbread. I'm from Ohio near Cincinnati and our chili was served with peanut butter honey sandwiches. I've had it with the cornbread since that is how he and our kids like it but I much prefer the peanut butter sandwich.

I live in Utah and have never seen Jello sold in a restaurant! Come for the JDawg’s!!

[@mathewh4684]

Maple syrup comes from a tree ? 😂😂😂😂❤

[@Brenda-f9y]

I grew up in the Midwest. I was born in Missouri, grew up in Kansas and had family in both Iowa and Nebraska but had never heard of cinnamon rolls being served with chili before a couple years ago. I have a cousin in Nebraska who I know didn't grow up eating them together but just in the last couple years has started eating them together. I personally don't think they sound good together as a meal. I would eat the chili as the meal and the cinnamon roll either as a dessert or even for breakfast.

[@innocentsweetiepie]

We eat warm sweet or honey cornbread/cornbread muffins on the side of our Chili here in Missouri.....same for Ham `n` Beans.....but not with white chili that usually just has regular warm cornbread slathered in butter

[@UltimateGamerCC]

[@ScribbleScrabbless]

In New York there is a certain amount of bromide in the water, not to mention the miles of filters. This is part of the reason why the water makes a difference to the pizza, bagels and other bread.

[@Cancerwhatnow]

Arkansas also has cornbread competition. There is also a national ribosteak grilling competition in magnolia Arkansas every year.

[@danmullins8480]

Every Thursday when I was in grade school, we had Chili and Cinnamon rolls. It was wonderful.

[@ronwest7930]

I never heard of this until this video. It sounds iffy.

[@manxkin]

I grew up and have lived in the Midwest my entire life…but not Nebraska. I’ve never heard of chili and cinnamon rolls paired together. But then again I didn’t go to grade school in Nebraska. What do I know. Where did you think maple syrup came from?

[@tandaknights9047]

Our high school in Wisconsin served sweet rolls with chili, was a first for me, not done here😊

[@jimhoffman7198]

LoL on the mountain oysters... I knew you'd gag on that idea.

[@theblackbear211]

"Rocky Mountain Oysters" may be a Colorado "Specialty", but really, in my own personal experience, they are not that commonly eaten. (Though I hear they are supposed to be tasty.) I have family in Colorado - who raise cattle - they have never offered me a testicle, I'm not sure that I know anyone who has actually eaten one, and if I do, I would ask them "How Often". Coloradans: would you answer those 2 questions? 1 - Have you EVER eaten a Rocky Mountain Oyster, and 2 - How many times have you eaten them. (and in what type of setting?)

[@tonysmith5057]

My dad was from Mobile, Alabama the white sauce is also from Alabama. My dad love to make a lot of Alabama dishes like smothered pork chop. He never made white sauce? Maybe he just didn't like the color? IDK overtime I was over there in AL we went crab-trapping and Oyster fishing. Oysters are easy used to catch them with my toes.

[@PennyAnthony-c1c]

White sauce - Bechamel. Butter and flour to thicken. Flavor however you like.

[@chrisjarvis2287]

Buckeyes are usually only made and eaten around holidays in Ohio, it is not our comfort food.

[@harryballsak1123]

You are not comfortable around the holidays?

[@rmartin730]

I have never heard of avocado beer, at least not in Illinois. In Springfield, Illinois, We have something called a horseshoe. It is meat (often a hamburger patty but not always) with fries in top covered with cheese sauce. If you ever make it to central Illinois, it is a must try! 😋

[@catherinesearles1194]

I love food...I love cooking it almost as much. The topic at my daughter's high school lunch table is what she had for dinner the night before.

[@littlerock8926]

Oyster to fool people into eating them. That is one thing I will never try. LOL loved your reaction.

[@MoreAdamCouser]

hahahah

[@Cody_Ramer]

Nah it's because it has a similar texture to fried oysters. They are pretty good btw.

[@LoboEye]

From Colorado, born and raised. Once battered and deep fried, Rocky Mountain Oysters are a little chewy, but taste good with the right dipping sauce. Hell one of the brewery's here has a two pack beer that has a bull testicle in each can.

[@gramalinda750]

Thank you, you made me laugh out loud a few times so far and it’s not over. ❤️

[@cathirodrigo2933]

Feel better!!! Sea food is REALLY good when it’s fresh, sometimes not so good if frozen or older. ❤❤❤

[@Cynto_]

The white sauce in the Alabama one probably refers to Alfredo sauce. Raw fish is frozen at such a cold temperature that no bacteria or parasite could still be alive on it. When she said German Russians Im guessing she meant Prussians. Brisket is in between the front legs of a cattle but below the neck.

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

You are always fun to watch when there is food involved! Tennessee wasn't on there, but there is a lot of tasty food here in Tennessee.

38 years old and born and raised in Colorado. Never once have I tried rocky mountain oysters.

Great video Adam hope you feel better soon

[@Toney-e4o]

As someone from south Louisiana I love chicken and sausage gumbo on a chilly day (whenever those do happen lol) my husband prefers a seafood gumbo and our son will eat either lol. Gumbo originated as a poor man’s dish. Growing up I always loved waking up to the smell of my mom and my granny cooking a roux for the gumbo.
