those tamales and donuts were incredible in Natchez!!!

[@PeggyFleming-i8v]

Dear friends and family, good afternoon I'm trying to get set up for my wedding planning and looking for some old school food!😮😊😅😂❤

[@LeannWebb61]

Now I'd have edited out the fly lighting on the deviled egg, but other than that, you're pretty spot on. I might add that the best food can be found in a little hole in the wall restaurant. They're often named after the owner and chief cook. Sally's, Hilda's... and my absolute favorite rib place Leatha's Barbeque Inn, located in Hattiesburg, MS

[@davestrasburg408]

Mississippi! Now that is a fascinating, not to mention delicious, State, chockfull of gorgeous places to visit; Natchez, especially, is wonderful. Also, don't miss Jackson, Tupelo, Biloxi, Meridian, and Clarksdale.

[@beaupayne3406]

Preciate the kind words about my home state! Make sure you try the Grillehouse in Oxford next time y’all come back-I work at another location an hour north and it’s one of the best steaks you’ll get here as well as the fried green tomatoes (with comeback sauce)!

[@wncjan]

I love Natchez, it's a very interesting town with all the antebellum houses and also home to one of my favorite writers, Greg Iles. Some years ago I met a guy from Mississipi in New York. He told me, that when he first came to New York he didn't know what his new friends and colleagues were talking about, when they mentioned soul food. Then one day they took him to a restaurant that served soul food. When he discovered what was served, his comment was: "Back in Mississippi we just call it food", 😁

[@NGD1953]

Great food review! 😃 Did you all try “Fat Mama’s Tamales” in Natchez? Please come back to MS and enjoy more great food!

[@WoltersWorldEats]

We did not. But I do love Natchez so we will have to visit again. 😊

[@caipirinha_king1632]

I try to choose a southern state every year to visit. Mississippi is also known for bologna sandwiches. Pig ear sandwiches. And sausage sandwiches. I’m looking forward to a 2023 Gulf trip.

[@Dixie_Belle]

Thanks for visiting my hometown! Just a friendly bit of info from a local: the pronunciation of Natchez rhymes with "matches".

[@vernholmes7940]

For future reference Natchez is pronounces like matches. Great video.

[@ericfalcon8432]

I love Mississippi, Puerto Rico, Georgia, Florida & (NYC the good parts tho... NY is something else.. Home alone 2 😅😄😇.

[@tosht2515]

*Big Apple Inn,* Jackson, MS Since you went to the Civil Rights Museum I was hoping you stopped at this historic, iconic joint. It’s just a couple of blocks away. They introduced Hot Tamales to Mississippi almost 100 years ago and the same family still owns and runs the restaurant. You know I’m obsessed with original. *pig ears* - The Big Apple Inn is even more famous locally for their pig ear sliders (and smoked sausage sliders). Yes. Pig ears! And they are quite delicious! Honestly. I really wanted to see the boys try it since they seem to be up for anything. 😀

[@MichaelThePlaya50]

I was watching The Travel Channel on tv and they showed this restaurant on their show. The owner break down the Red Rose sausage and make his own type burger with his special sauce.l have to go there the next time I go to Jackson and Stamps Burgers too.lots of my family went to Jackson State U...

[@davidhill2618]

Fried green tomatoes , fried okra , corn bread , drop biscuits 🤤 i have to stop lol

[@davidhill2618]

Im from corinth and we love our slug burgers ❤

[@bobgunther2927]

You need to come to northeast Mississippi (Corinth) and try a slugburger.

[@danieldoyle5840]

Or dough burgers in Booneville lol

[@davidhill2618]

Yess sweet tea is a must lol tamales are awsome here in corinth ms dillworths tamales ❤

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

One of my favorite memories of my late dad was him making bread pudding. Dad spent time in Mississippi working there. Jocelyn, I agree, I love oysters on the half shell instead of fried oysters. I love catfish as well, grilled . Thanks for the tips . Your biggest fans. Harriet and Jim Richmond Va.

[@WoltersWorldEats]

My dad makes some mean bread pudding too 😁

[@sandramulchahey8268]

Southern food is the best IMO.

[@ronaldcarlson8572]

My co-worker from Georgia introduced me to boiled peanuts, was quite odd, but tasted like potatoes in my opinion. And sweet tea is huge in the South, but way too much sugar for me.

[@cliffordholloway6291]

Enjoyable video, thanks.

[@pgrobinson5675]

Natchez has Mammy's, Biloxi has the Blow Fly Inn, etc

[@shannoncoleman1672]

You should try slugbuggers in Corinth

[@loris7964]

Loved everything except the oysters so many yummy Southern foods!

[@WoltersWorldEats]

Have you had them fried, broiled, or steamed?

[@bobgunther2927]

Oh yeah…. and fried green tomato’s!

[@JaniceEllis-bk6fn]

My mom would make good bread pudding.

[@tosht2515]

This was quite interesting as I really never think of Mississippi cuisine. *comeback sauce* - I’ve had lots of variations of ketchup mayo in the U.S. and abroad (Marie Rose and Seafood Sauce/Pink Sauce) but I’ve never had Mississippi Comeback. Is it like Louisiana’s version of remoulade? *deviled eggs* - Love ‘em. Apparently the fly does as well. @4:39 😆 *raw oysters* - One of my top favorite all time foods, Jocelyn. You guys were there in November I recall. Perfect. Really should cook those gulf oysters from April to October to avoid Vibrio bacteria in that area. *Everything highlighted sounds fantastic. The pickles not so much.* 😆

[@WoltersWorldEats]

Comeback sauce is spicier than say, Rose Marie and generally, smoother with less spices than remoulade. And yes, oysters raw only in months without an R...that's what they say in Savannah anyway.

[@tosht2515]

@@WoltersWorldEats I eat raw oysters every season except from the Gulf of Mexico where vibrio is most prevalent. Oyster Fact - California has had a ban on Louisiana oysters from April to October...for the last 20 years! But yeah, oyster farming and harvesting as well as distribution has improved so much that it’s fine to eat them raw year round.

[@WoltersWorldEats]

@@tosht2515 curious, what (where) are your favorite oysters? My favorites come from Normandy. Obviously, I haven't had any in a hot minute.

[@tosht2515]

@@WoltersWorldEats I’m sure I had some from Normandy when I ordered a dozen in Paris (had a variety) but my quest that trip was Belons from Brittany. Delicious. *I’m not good with names,* Jocelyn but I know U.S. oyster regions and certainly have my favorite cities. USA *raw* 1. Cape Cod/Boston 2. Washington coast 3. NYC - seriously 4. D.C. (Chesapeake Bay) 5. San Francisco USA *fried* 1. Calabash, NC 2. New Orleans 3. Houston International *raw* 1. Paris 2. London 3. Tokyo 4. Sydney 5. Brussels Honorable mention goes to Lisbon. Had a champagne + 3 special at my hotels in Amsterdam (very good) and Thailand (just decent). Love me some oysters, Joc. Name a major city in the US and I’ve probably had a dozen. 😀

[@clayhackney3514]

go to pine grove church of God near Hurley MS, can't remember what town line it is within. Ask to join them for their after service lunch. It's a congregation of 50 or so. You're welcome.

[@willarn1]

Great vid!

[@WoltersWorldEats]

Thank you 😊

[@brentwilde9843]

Char grilled oysters 😋 now I would like to try them . Remind me not to watch the eats at bedtime 😐 😕

[@WoltersWorldEats]

Yep. But eating charbroiled oysters in bed would be odd. So.

[@BjBadger]

As a mississippian our deer is also good

[@manishmehta9736]

In India, there are places where roasted groundnuts are regularly put on Coke for drink

[@WoltersWorldEats]

That's cool, I didn't know that.

[@bryantsteury8910]

What to eat in MS....everything!! Also my cat is named moo. He would approve of that BBQ. And get fatter eating it

[@WoltersWorldEats]

Not wrong. And I think the internet needs a cat eating bbq video 😆

[@sandramulchahey8268]

My husband and I love bread pudding 😋

[@lray1948]

Banana pudding is another popular Miss. desert. The banana boats regularly unload at Gulfport and New Orleans and since bananas tend to get overripe quickly a lot of the overly ripe bananas are sold in Louisiana and south Mississippi at a discounted price to get rid of them quickly. Thats what caused banana pudding to be popular. Supposedly this is also why Bananas Foster was first concocted in New Orleans.

[@pgrobinson5675]

OK your picture for Mississippi Mud Pie/Cake is wrong. That was a picture of Husband's Delight. Google Mississippi Mud Cake with marshmallow cream. These are the tried true and Old Mississippi delights.

[@christianoliver3572]

Boiled peanuts are not for everyone. I don't really care for them but my dad loved them. I think it's a texture thing because the taste isn't that bad. Try a small bag if you find someone selling them on the side of the road. Just don't expect any crunch.

[@MikeIzzle_]

I had a trip coming up to New Orleans and I was going to take a quick trip to Mississippi and Alabama along the coast but I ended up having to cancel, I’m so bummed. Great video though!

[@WoltersWorldEats]

I hope you'll get to take that trip. It's one worth rescheduling!

[@user-ez5fc5lp6j]

It's natchez not notchez

[@frednich9603]

Tamales at a donut shop! That's a new one to me. Usually we get them from some random Abuela selling them out of the trunk of her car in a parking lot. That's when you know you are getting the best. (no I'm not kidding)

[@WoltersWorldEats]

It's a MS thing Kinda like the best breakfast tacos are at gas stations in TX🤷‍♀️😉

[@lemonobrien]

there is no such thing as soul food in the south; and if by soul food, you think its food black people cook; so... everyone who can cook in the south makes corn bread, and okra, my grandfather grew in his garden and fried up like popcorn. and my family's cornbread recipe is made in a cast iron skillet; which you first heat up in the oven so when you poor the batter in, it creates a beautiful crust; and our cornbread is never ever sweet. that is northern yankee talk, like the word "soul-food"

[@tinajackson6875]

How many times is she going to say Mississippi yall.

[@myerkord]

How bout some Vicksburg hot spots for food
