Si, pero toma en cuenta la diferencia cultural ellos se refieren a SOUL FOOD como un término aplicado a la comida casera... Debe ser por eso que dicen soul food y no de otra forma 😊 pues es comida hecha con el alma o con amor por decir algo...
*Soul food is often generally referring to Southern American foods. Soul food uses cooking techniques and ingredients from West African, Western European, and Indigenous cuisine of the Americas. 'Comfort foods' is what is called dishes like these shown. But comfort food IS good for the soul food!*
Please tell these wonderful gentlemen that British love spicy food! Many people from India & Pakistan emigrated to UK and so there plenty of restaurants & take-aways with Curry dishes & we love them! I believe a recent poll showed that Curry food was in top 3 favourite meals in Britain.
I’m British and we don’t do mashed potatoes bland. You add plenty of salt when boiling potatoes. Then strain. Then put back in pan an over heat to get any remaining water. Then mash mash mash. All lumps gone!!! Then add salt,white pepper,massive knob of butter and a glug of double cream. Then grab a fork n whisk it up! Also proper onion gravy,which you finish the sausages in. 👍🏼. I’m a proper old fashioned cook,I’d love to come and cook trad English dishes for you ❣️🇬🇧. Fabulous that ur all back. You are my guilty pleasure and you all always make me smile and my day a lil bit better 😁❣️🇬🇧 much love and prayers to you all from London U.K. Grandma 👵🏻❣️🇬🇧
Yes, mashed potatoes are nice when done properly. I wonder if they served them some kind of instant crap, like Smash, which is bland and artificial tasting.
@@j.robertsergertson4513 Bland isn't an invention, it's just a lack of flavour - many cultures plaster all their dishes with salt, pepper and spices to add flavour, while some rely on combining what's on your plate to complement one another, creating a subtle mix of natural flavours rather than overhwhelming you with spicy/sour/sweet additives in every mouthful.
Soul food is variety of food found in the southern US, created through African origins. British cuisine isnt soul food. I believe the term you're looking for is "comfort food".
@@TheTwoFingeredBulldog it doesn't mean the sme thing at all. At best, "soul food" is a very specific type of comfort food. The meanings are completely different. All soul food is comfort food, but not all comfort food is soul food. For example... mashed potatoes and gravy is not "soul food"... but it certainly is "comfort food"
Really love you guys... Every person working in this channel the Camara team, the editing, the cooking team everyone I love all... Greetings from Venezuela 😊🎉 blessings
I’ve noticed that there seems to be a word they use that describes a “bland” taste in a positive way that doesn’t exist in English. It’s not explicitly “bland” in the sense we native English speakers use it, but rather things that are starches that act as a base or foundation for other flavors. I’d say, “starchy,” might be a closer translation, though that can have negative connotations as well. In English, “bland” usually means that something _lacks_ any flavor, and it usually isn’t a flavor of its own.
Yes, such a word does not exist in English, we borrow the Japanese word for it, which is "Umame" I suppose "Savoury" is also a comparative word, but usually savoury just means something without sugar.
food made at home easily to just make you happy is comfort food. what you're giving them is traditional British comfort foods. Soul food is an ethnic cuisine originating from the cuisines of enslaved Africans trafficked to the North American colonies. It is the food of the black communities in the south. Its amazing food as well
Maybe the food from the UK is “comfort food”, which is food that we love to eat and can remind us of our home away from home and/or childhood, etc. Meanwhile: “Soul food is an ethnic cuisine originating in the Southern United States. It originated from the cuisines of enslaved Africans trafficked to the North American colonies through the Atlantic slave trade during the Antebellum period and is closely associated with the cuisine of the American South”. Yes, I used a literal definition of “soul food” hence the quotation marks. I thought that was the best way to go to highlight the difference. Although “soul food” can be comfort food too.
I suppose that the British term “Comfort food” could be seen as food that’s good for the soul. It’s tasty, easy and familiar with the potential to bring back memories of childhood.
you should travel ......... fish and chips ........ bangers and mash ........ scone and jam ........

Yeah cmon my G, Bangers and mash, Sunday roast, fish and chips, I don't know how common this one is but "Mish Mash Bish Bosh" (A mixture of simple pick at type foods, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, boiled eggs, cheese & bacon pasties etc) - though acquired or cooked, still classic British soul food❤
@@Villy245 They are bad about this kind of thing. If these people have dietary restrictions, stop trying to make substitutes that don't match up to the real thing and calling it the real thing. I'm American and Black and I know that soul food has a lot of pork in every dish pretty much. They need to stick to what these people can actually eat. Which isn't much.
Soul food is only found in America, originating in the southern part of America. British food is known for being bland. The fish and chips are really good though.
"British people don't like spicy food" is a common thing I've heard over the decades. Aside from curries, typical "village pub" style cooking is simple, savory, old fashioned comfort food with few ingredients but high quality meats. As an American kid I was lucky enough to have a Pakistani family move into my neighborhood so I got to try a ton of cuisine from that region, and developed a love of things like biryani, roti, paneer, etc. During my Army years I was introduced to Korean, Japanese, southern US foods, and South American cooking. A 2 week stint training with SAS troops taught me the wonders of proper fish & chips and bacon butties, which don't seem to exist here in the States sadly.
British people love spicy food, there just wasn't much in the way of native spices. There are 42 Indian restaurants in my town of 120K people. We're just very lucky here to have had such a wonderful immigration of food cultures from around the world that we celebrate, explore and love. When new spicy Indian curry dishes are created in Britain, we don't label it as British, we maintain that it's Indian Food, Indian culture. Chicken Tikka Masala, invented in the UK, is Indian food to us. Balti, invented in Birmingham, England, is Indian food to us.
@@LittleBallOfPurr Seriously, the people who knock the food in Britain clearly haven't actually tried any. (Or if they did, they chose the wrong place to try.)
@@Beedo_Sookcool Even as an American, I'm usually eating bangers and mash at least once a week. Easy and delicious. I also love fish and chips. I'd say British cusine is doing something right to end up so heavy in my rotation 😂
Fun video! Thank you! I'm not sure if there's a cultural translation issue, but I think the term you want is "comfort food." "Soul food" has different connotations.

Look how easy it is to spread love.they r simple innocent people who know nothing about outside world but just by trying different food from all over the world,they have learned alot and gain love and respect
A lot of food in UK is bland, but many Brits are Chilie Heads and eat a lot of spicey food. Its just the food that the UK is known for isnt that spicy, but believe me the curries are hotter in the UK than they are in India.
[Cracks neck, sips tea] >AHEM< All those spices we "conquered the world to get and never used"? Yeah, only the rich people and the gentry got those. Nobody else could afford them, so why would they be traditional ingredients? Best we could do was wild garlic and some local herbs. Then, after 1066, the Norman invaders made it illegal on pain of death for the common folk to take any good game, fowl, or fish from the land and rivers, so for a good 800 years or so, everyone subsisted on mostly vegetable stews with some bread, or pies, some eggs and dairy, and maybe a little meat on rare special holiday occasions . . . but still no spices, because they still couldn't afford them. We had to find creative ways of surviving, which is the only reason why the boiled, heavily-processed stems of a poisonous plant (rhubarb) in a pie crust was ever a thing in the first place. Then, just after we were getting into a good stride after the Pure Food Law was passed in 1875 to stop unscrupulous Industrial Revolution food manufacturers from adding sawdust and powdered minerals to the food to boost their profit margins, we had two World Wars in rapid succession with a Great Depression in between, which wreaked absolute havoc on our food chain. Wartime rationing didn't end until 1954, TEN YEARS after the war in Europe had finished. So for a couple of decades, the most reliable food was imported canned-ration-style stuff, like baked beans and tinned spaghetti. Whole generations got used to subsisting on that. It became comfort food to millions. And they passed that predilection down to their descendants. Modern British food started to get WAY better in the 1980s, and it's excellent, today. If you have nothing but bad food in the UK these days, that's all on you eating in the wrong places. And mocking British food because of what it was like in our past is just mocking the poor, downtrodden, and war-torn, from a position of modern wealth, abundance, and privilege. And if you're going to do that, you might as well mock cultural foods like collard greens and grits, too.
There are 3 things you must have for the fish, depending on your preference. Lemon juice or vinegar or tarter sauce. I prefer to squeeze a little lemon juice on my fish and dip it in tarter sauce. Yum. 😋
These dishes are old style traditional comfort foods. Brits love spicy food, in no small measure to the influence of immigration from India and Pakistan over the last 50 years. We have fully embraced the cuisine and made it our own to the point of inventing new curry dishes. Indian food is everywhere in the UK. Occasionally eat sausage and mash, would probably add more gravy than the one in the video.
I love fish and chips! I'm American but every time I go to England that's what I go for. And I love malt vinegar on my chips or french fries...Even on my fish makes it tastes good. Actually, malt vinegar on the chips and then dipping them in mayonnaise is the best. I actually made my own clotting cream once. Took me 13 hours to bake it in the oven but it turned out awesome...
Have you ever tried mushy peas or chip shop curry sauce with your chips? 😊 In a lot of the UK mayo is considered European not British, though salt and vinegar are obligatory (not really obviously, only if you want them) 😂😂
@@hedda2022 no, I've never tried the mushy peas for the chip shop curry sauce. I do love curry! And I love pea soup. Make it several times a year... I think I'm more British than American sometimes 😊
Those who live in former and ex-trawler fleet towns probably have 'the best' quality fish. The people here in Grimsby turn their noses up at cod and only eat haddock. The 'cod or haddock?' debate divides families and communities.
@@flamingpieherman9822 Next time you go there maybe you could try them, but ask for them to be put in a small separate container on the side, rather than poured over the meal in case you don't like them 😊 The mushy peas taste better with vinegar, and the curry sauce is unlike any you'd get in a South Asian restaurant 😂 I love them both but maybe it's an acquired taste 😄
Ironically, curry has become pretty much a British soul food, given how popular it is. It's right up there with sausage & mash, fish n chips, and Cornish pasties.
Fried fish was a Jewish dish and fried potatoes French I believe so they are both “imported” ideas. Since potatoes originally came from South America that would make “mashed potato” imported as well. 😁
Great video as ever, 3 things, that didn’t appear to be clotted cream on the scone, the fish n chips didn’t include mushy peas or chip shop curry sauce along with salt n vinegar to taste and I think English mustard should be offered with sausage n mash. Interesting comments and I do love ‘tribal people’ all such nice men.
Love all their videos,but especially the ones where they get to eat sweets.. Chaurdury's face says it all..I knew Gul wasn't eating that without feeding his stash too!!😂❤😊
I think my favourite comfort foods would have to be steak pie (especially with sausages in it) or macaroni cheese. Those two are always winners. Fish and chips always needs lemon juice or malt vinegar, salt and tartar sauce... of for those of us with a sweet tooth, tomato ketchup!
As a Brit, I was so confused cos I only hear Soul food from American's and it ain't this stuff 🤣. Thank god for the comment section. Comfort food makes much more sense😄
Did you salt the potatoes? Tell Dr Tahir that we love Indian spicey foods. Now you have to teach them how to fillet a fish so their wives and kids can eat fish .
*Tahir is on the road to a fish taco by putting it in roti! Just add veggies and there you are! Rana understands comfort food spot on! Chadhaury....ahhh you got your sweets, and glorious creamy too! Love how you taste the sweet and sour of jam.*
*Mashed potatoes with anything is sort of 'comfort food'... in the USA at least from my experience. It is something that just makes you happy whilst and after eating, and usually not a spicy food. I like mixing my vegetables into my mashed potatoes. Grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup is another Winter comfort food.*
I was expecting poor versions of grits, fried chicken and cornbread, but instead saw familar fish and chips and bangers and mash. I would have been horrified for my American brothers if we did produce some second rate Southern food 😂
I think it’s a mistranslation for which there’s no direct English translation. I’ve noticed when they say something’s “bland,” they mean it as an actual type of flavor. The kind you get with a starchy base food that’s covered in other things. Stuff like bread, mashed potatoes, etc.. There have been a few videos where they say “bland” but mean it in a positive way as just another flavor element to a food.
No tartar sauce for the fish? I know some like it with vinegar and some ketchup - but they got none of any. ☹️ Yum - bangers & mash, and, fish & chips 😋. Scones.... Yummo!
Definitely needed mushy peas/curry sauce/gravy/tartar sauce... at the very least a good dose of vinegar from a jar of pickled onions... I don't know anyone who eats fish and chips dry 😂
They def' oughta visit the U.K as an american like country (yet still very unique of its own). I like how britain has this cozy village vibes all in all, good town chatter and the rest thatd be much more up their alley as it is i say and not near as far to travel as a first destination Most of words in america will make them plenty fluent in the U.K. were colorful too, in our own ways
Every year there is a Nathan's brand hot dog eating contest. 🌭 Like to see how many they can eat in 5 minutes. Have plenty of drink available. Can keep it a simple hotdogs. Mustard/ketchup or could add onions, chili or even add cole slaw.
i think a lot of british food being bland or not spicy is that spices dont grow naturally there, while they may have had a huge trade empire of spices most everyday people didnt ever have access to them, only nobles royalty and politicians. regular access to spices is a thing from the last 150 years, and most western places use restaurants catered to specific cuisines even today, though common food is still heavy with salt and lacking spice!
It's not soul food. It's comfort food. The expression "soul food" originated in the mid-1960s, when "soul" was a common word used to describe African-American culture. Soul food uses cooking techniques and ingredients from West Africa. Comfort foods are regional. For example, you have clam chowder in the northeast. That would never be considered soul food. In the south, you have southern comfort foods like biscuits and gravy and fried chicken, and then soul food is another category that comes out of that, like yams and collard greens. In the southern US, we claim it all, but respect is due to the culture that brought us soul food.
@@shaunwild8797just fine for you is still bland to the rest of us, I want my whole meal to punch me in the mouth, no salt and pepper nonsense, I want some SPICE.
@@necrogenesis1981 I'm also a lover of spicy food but every now and then I like some traditional British food. If done right it's not bland at all. Salt n pepper aren't the only seasonings we have here in the UK. lol.
anything that doesnt sear your face off and cause you to perspire would be considered 'bland' by people brought up on spices. Let's not forget that one of the main reasons for spice is to mask the taste of food going off in the heat. As you should know, since you're an expert on British food, we have the hottest mustard in the world to act as a counterpoint to our 'bland' food, as we use other sauces with various meats, from horseradish to mint to apple sauce. A good quality Lincolnshire sausage contains a subtle blend of spices but if your taste buds have been seared away over time no doubt it would taste bland.
First time I have to say that the definition of what thr food is is incorrect.. lost in translation. Soul food has its roots in thr Southern US from times of the slave trade and has African origins. Comfort food is hot, starchy, carb or fat ladened food with simple ingredients which is easy to prepare and consume
They need to try some other dishes like cornish pasties, shepherds/cottage pie, beef and dumpling stew and cheese and potato pie. Theres so much more to experience
Sauces would provide an appropriate look into the culture of the UK. Regarding the fish and chips; having tartar sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and mayonnaise to create personalized sauces for both.
I think in the UK it's called comfort food 😊 Never heard of British soul food 😂
Only ever heard the term applied to Jamaican food.
Probably meant comfort food
Me neither, that term doesn't exist in the UK

Have you ever tried mushy peas or chip shop curry sauce with your chips? 😊 In a lot of the UK mayo is considered European not British, though salt and vinegar are obligatory (not really obviously, only if you want them) 😂😂
@@hedda2022 no, I've never tried the mushy peas for the chip shop curry sauce. I do love curry! And I love pea soup. Make it several times a year...
I think I'm more British than American sometimes 😊
Those who live in former and ex-trawler fleet towns probably have 'the best' quality fish. The people here in Grimsby turn their noses up at cod and only eat haddock. The 'cod or haddock?' debate divides families and communities.
@@flamingpieherman9822 Next time you go there maybe you could try them, but ask for them to be put in a small separate container on the side, rather than poured over the meal in case you don't like them 😊 The mushy peas taste better with vinegar, and the curry sauce is unlike any you'd get in a South Asian restaurant 😂 I love them both but maybe it's an acquired taste 😄
I wouldn't eat fish n chips if I couldn't have malt vinegar with it. It just wouldn't seem right.
I knew Doctor Tahir was a man after my own heart. Bland food is indeed delicious in its own way!
They needed some malt vinegar for the fish and chips for sure. I love Mr. Chaudhary's face every time you give him sweets.
never heard of british soul food..i think thats a down south thing here in the usa only..lol but hey its food and you got to try it so enjoy!!
These videos are so wholesome and I love the way they love our food 😂😂
I love the attempted translations 😂
It all looked good, whether you call it soul food or comfort food!
Ironically, curry has become pretty much a British soul food, given how popular it is. It's right up there with sausage & mash, fish n chips, and Cornish pasties.
Nope Curry is an Indian import ,
No such thing as British soul food.
@j.robertsergertson4513 we eat alot of curry over here and the national dish has changed to chicken teka masala! Look it up!
Fried fish was a Jewish dish and fried potatoes French I believe so they are both “imported” ideas.
Since potatoes originally came from South America that would make “mashed potato” imported as well. 😁
@@j.robertsergertson4513 no shit Sherlock. Smh
Soul food in America is NOT simple... Not sure about the Brits. Didn't even know they had soul food.
Really enjoyed this coming from the UK glad they enjoyed
Great video as ever, 3 things, that didn’t appear to be clotted cream on the scone, the fish n chips didn’t include mushy peas or chip shop curry sauce along with salt n vinegar to taste and I think English mustard should be offered with sausage n mash. Interesting comments and I do love ‘tribal people’ all such nice men.
Would love to see them try beans on toast 😁
Love all their videos,but especially the ones where they get to eat sweets.. Chaurdury's face says it all..I knew Gul wasn't eating that without feeding his stash too!!😂❤😊
Watching these guys enjoy their food always makes me so damn hungry lol
Never in all my life have I ever heard the words 'British' and 'soul food' in the same sentence.
I think my favourite comfort foods would have to be steak pie (especially with sausages in it) or macaroni cheese. Those two are always winners. Fish and chips always needs lemon juice or malt vinegar, salt and tartar sauce... of for those of us with a sweet tooth, tomato ketchup!
Mr. Chaudhary 's face lights up with the fish
I love the way they say, "it is worth eating"...hehehe
As a British citizen I can assure you that we have no soul let alone soul food. That being said this brings me a smile.
Your comment brought me one 😊😂
Soul food is exclusively American. There is no British soul food.
Mr C saying it has a bland taste😅😅😅
Welcome to British food! 😂
Obviously they never seasoned the mash potatoes, also no salt and vinegar on the chips and no tartar sauce
sir he had a bite of mashed potatoes, that would encompass a huge range of other countries foods too
It was a jab. A joke. Don't get offended😅
As a Brit, I was so confused cos I only hear Soul food from American's and it ain't this stuff 🤣.
Thank god for the comment section. Comfort food makes much more sense😄
soul food is food that makes you happy
Did you salt the potatoes? Tell Dr Tahir that we love Indian spicey foods. Now you have to teach them how to fillet a fish so their wives and kids can eat fish .
*Tahir is on the road to a fish taco by putting it in roti! Just add veggies and there you are! Rana understands comfort food spot on! Chadhaury....ahhh you got your sweets, and glorious creamy too! Love how you taste the sweet and sour of jam.*
Some of us enjoy a slice of bread and butter with fish and chips as well.
*Mashed potatoes with anything is sort of 'comfort food'... in the USA at least from my experience. It is something that just makes you happy whilst and after eating, and usually not a spicy food. I like mixing my vegetables into my mashed potatoes. Grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup is another Winter comfort food.*
I was expecting poor versions of grits, fried chicken and cornbread, but instead saw familar fish and chips and bangers and mash. I would have been horrified for my American brothers if we did produce some second rate Southern food 😂
I guess a lot of these could seem bland but we tend to add things like salt, pepper, vinegar and mustard to our own taste after the food is served.
I think it’s a mistranslation for which there’s no direct English translation. I’ve noticed when they say something’s “bland,” they mean it as an actual type of flavor. The kind you get with a starchy base food that’s covered in other things. Stuff like bread, mashed potatoes, etc.. There have been a few videos where they say “bland” but mean it in a positive way as just another flavor element to a food.
Eating cream with finger reminds me of my childhood. Yummmm 😊
Love you guys 😀😀😀
Bless these fellas
With the scones they need some tea!
I love these guys!
A couple have gone to great efforts to use utensils properly and it shows with different cuisines.
No tartar sauce for the fish? I know some like it with vinegar and some ketchup - but they got none of any. ☹️
Yum - bangers & mash, and, fish & chips 😋. Scones.... Yummo!
Fish and chips needed malt vinegar.
It's a sin serving scones, cream and jam without a nice,hot earl grey tea.
3:16 Gotta love Chaudhury's expressions :)
Wheres the mushy peas !! Lots of salt and vinegar and a pickled onion or two
For me, tartar sauce is needed for fish and chips.
Definitely needed mushy peas/curry sauce/gravy/tartar sauce... at the very least a good dose of vinegar from a jar of pickled onions... I don't know anyone who eats fish and chips dry 😂
They def' oughta visit the U.K as an american like country (yet still very unique of its own). I like how britain has this cozy village vibes all in all, good town chatter and the rest thatd be much more up their alley as it is i say and not near as far to travel as a first destination
Most of words in america will make them plenty fluent in the U.K. were colorful too, in our own ways
I stand corrected, Gul says "my stache is eating more than me". I was close anyway.
Every year there is a Nathan's brand hot dog eating contest. 🌭 Like to see how many they can eat in 5 minutes. Have plenty of drink available. Can keep it a simple hotdogs. Mustard/ketchup or could add onions, chili or even add cole slaw.
Long live Joey Chestnut!

I love his style
His rings
He looks like someone who knows what he wants, and loves it!
i think a lot of british food being bland or not spicy is that spices dont grow naturally there, while they may have had a huge trade empire of spices most everyday people didnt ever have access to them, only nobles royalty and politicians. regular access to spices is a thing from the last 150 years, and most western places use restaurants catered to specific cuisines even today, though common food is still heavy with salt and lacking spice!
you good people need to come to england and try real fish a chips ,also an english sunday roast
thank you for making the subtitles so big I can't see the food
It's not soul food. It's comfort food. The expression "soul food" originated in the mid-1960s, when "soul" was a common word used to describe African-American culture. Soul food uses cooking techniques and ingredients from West Africa. Comfort foods are regional. For example, you have clam chowder in the northeast. That would never be considered soul food. In the south, you have southern comfort foods like biscuits and gravy and fried chicken, and then soul food is another category that comes out of that, like yams and collard greens. In the southern US, we claim it all, but respect is due to the culture that brought us soul food.
Gul Sher Khan is awesome, love that guy.
Def having fish and chips tonight it's Friday in Australia, god bless all
I’m British. My comfort food is pasta! Thank goodness for immigrants. We all love Indian, Italian, Chinese, Greek, Japanese food and many, many more!
lol. immigrants? Historically speaking, colonization brought you those foods
Fish and chips combined in a flatbread or fluffy bread with some tartar sounds amazing
Mr Chaudhary says, “Excellent!” as he puts down his fish…
They need to experience real soul food
Soul food is a name originally from African/ black people meals.
I wish I could cook a Salmon for you. I live in Oregon in the USA we have the most wonderful fish in the world here.
Usually soul food is Southern states in America
I think they mean "comfort food."
The Gentleman in the brown turban is wearing a Rado diastar swiss watch!!!!!! 😮
When he said "it's bland" I fell off the chair. He immediately found the essence of British food with that statement. Lol
Maybe the chef didn't season the mash with butter, salt and pepper. My sausage n mash with onion gravy tastes just fine.
@@shaunwild8797just fine for you is still bland to the rest of us, I want my whole meal to punch me in the mouth, no salt and pepper nonsense, I want some SPICE.
@@necrogenesis1981 I'm also a lover of spicy food but every now and then I like some traditional British food. If done right it's not bland at all. Salt n pepper aren't the only seasonings we have here in the UK. lol.
anything that doesnt sear your face off and cause you to perspire would be considered 'bland' by people brought up on spices. Let's not forget that one of the main reasons for spice is to mask the taste of food going off in the heat. As you should know, since you're an expert on British food, we have the hottest mustard in the world to act as a counterpoint to our 'bland' food, as we use other sauces with various meats, from horseradish to mint to apple sauce. A good quality Lincolnshire sausage contains a subtle blend of spices but if your taste buds have been seared away over time no doubt it would taste bland.
@@cargumdeu Well said Sir.
You got to have peas with Bangers and Mash, and mushy peas gravy bread and butter with the Fish and Chips
Forgot the mooshy peas and curry dip as well as balsamic vinegar and tarter sauce 😋
Plus those are not scones and it clotted cream that is used with jam on top. Those were yeast donuts 😂😅
Soul food is generally understood to be food that feeds the soul as much as the body. Food made with love that spans generations.
Would somebody PLEASE show these fellas how to filet a fish!!
I am commenting to get notifications
They should like the 'fish & chips' cause they can eat it with their fingers.
Soul food is a black American term, not used in England.
not just black american many black cultures use the term
First time I have to say that the definition of what thr food is is incorrect.. lost in translation. Soul food has its roots in thr Southern US from times of the slave trade and has African origins. Comfort food is hot, starchy, carb or fat ladened food with simple ingredients which is easy to prepare and consume
They need to try some other dishes like cornish pasties, shepherds/cottage pie, beef and dumpling stew and cheese and potato pie. Theres so much more to experience
soul food?🤔
Dr. Tahir-you are becoming very skilled with the knife and fork. ⭐️
Mr. Gul Sher-that cream looks good on you. 😁
I love how Mr. Chaudry delights in sweets. He’s a “sweet” man.
Lol is 10:30 am in the U.S.A and seeing this im eating cereal lol give me that lol,😂😂😂 love it
Sauces would provide an appropriate look into the culture of the UK. Regarding the fish and chips; having tartar sauce, vinegar, ketchup, and mayonnaise to create personalized sauces for both.
I think the gentlemen would love Creme Boulee...a great desert!
creme brulee. French for burned cream.
dessert. not desert
