How did you comment 3 days before the video was posted... what?
Just to back you up, my kids love them we’ve been getting them for 1.5 years. I have my favorite snacks too 😁
Lobster is delicious
Was it burgers because we're known for burgers here in Texas on top of BBQ
You should come and try some of the food I plan on doing the Japan someday myself
If I recall correctly, “Poké” from Hawaii was actually created by Japanese immigrants. There’s a huge Japanese population in Hawaii and the food there reflects that.
I really appreciate your perspective on American food!!! Its not judgy at all and comes from appreciation 😁
I don't think a lot of content creators realize that American food is more than processed things. A lot of healthy foods aren't available to everyday Americans because of cost and other things -- so these recipes come from long lines of immigrant families cooking with what they had.
Oh heck yeah we catch our own fish in Alaska. Everything is so frickin expensive here so if you want to buy fish, it’ll cost you an arm and a leg. There are so many fish in the rivers and ocean during salmon run season so it’s very easy to catch them!
Plus, fish isn't good enough to spend that much money on it, you get so much more out of everything if you just go catch it yourself.
When I travel I find I have to explain where I'm from salmon and beef are what the poor people eat.
wait, you're from Alaska !?
@@Choppylovechoppy Washington but we're part of the Pacific North West. We share many things in common including salmon.
@@Choppylovechoppy I am
Californian here. Mostly we just eat tacos, sushi and hamburgers. All of which avocado can be found in.
I am also California, and I dislike avocados
When I first moved to california, I used to eat tacos everyday, then I was shocked to see that guac and avocados were free. I guess it’s cause there is so much. But now I live in Texas and we have to pay a little +1$ or some cents
It taste like sheer childhood bliss. I love avocados @@shadeslayer7775
America is a very big and very young country, most of the people here are only a few generations removed from their immigrant ancestors. So in addition to this quintessentially “American” food you can also find reasonably authentic international cuisine in almost every major city. Indian, Mexican, Italian, French, Chinese, Irish, Cuban, and so on, American food culture is extremely diverse and you’ll often hear things in America like “What do you want for dinner tonight?” “Oh let’s get Indian food!” Or “let’s get Italian food!” American food is ultimately a fusion of immigrant, former enslaved peoples, and Native American indigenous cuisine. Depending on the region you will get different demographics of people and therefore different food, in the south west you’ll find great authentic Mexican food, in say Boston you’ll get Italian, in Florida you’ll get Cuban, you get the picture.
pretty much every small town in america will have at least one chinese restaurant. ive heard its a bit different from actual chinese food but its still really good. general tso chicken is my fav, i always get it with egg rolls and a side of rice
A lot of families here are very young and still hold some ties with their home country. My great grand father (on my mom's side) was Scottish and moved to America with his wife before having kids, my great grandma (on my dad's side) was German and her parents moved the family to America in the Early 30s because they didn't like what the government was doing and thought it would only get worse (they were right and they never regretted leaving)
@@pleasehelp2446 That happened with my great-grandmother, only this was right after WWI! My great-grandpa was in the US Army and after the war, he was assigned to watch over a German Village where my great-grandma lived. Her father must of had great foresight because Hitler was starting to get popular and pleaded with my great-grandpa to marry one of his daughters before heading back to the US because he wanted the knowledge that at least one of his children was safe. So while my great-grandpa, who was an honorable man, did as he requested and married my great-grandma because she was the eldest. My German relatives suffered greatly during the war, but they made it out and my own grandma did get to meet her cousins over there when my family was living in Berlin in the early 80s (my dad was Air Force).
In Florida we love to eat alligator. Even Disney cooks it for 2 months out of the year.
wow wonder what it tastes like
@@Choppylovechoppy It literally tastes like chicken when it’s fried. Maybe a tiny bit more gamey.
damn i kinda wanna try that
You can see why obesity is such a problem here. Our food is plentiful, extremely diverse, most of it tastes really good, and it’s relatively inexpensive. It’s a challenge not to be tempted all the time.
Believe or not though we're not in the top 20 anymore since the rise of veganism and vegetarianism we've been going down that list and wanting to be healthier of course
@@robertwalker7454that’s not true. The 2023 world obesity list put us at #10, just below Kuwait
8:19 I'm from Indiana, and I can confirm that it's exactly like a large tonkatsu on a bun.
14:50
Having grown up for 20 years in Memphis, Tennessee, I need to say something. First, yes Memphis is a city dedicated to Barbeque (BBQ) and ribs. But that massive piece you see, it's mostly bone on the inside. It's not all meat. Even still, a full rack of ribs (the size you see here) is usually for a very big/hungry person, but more often it's for 2 or more people to share. They have side dishes and such too. That's why most places offer a half rack of ribs (so half of what you see), and Baby Back Ribs usually are just the size of what he's cutting, so maybe a third of that?
Anyone who's worried about their weight or dietary health won't eat a full rack of ribs by themselves. Also ignore what anyone else says, Memphis is the BBQ capital of the US. Obviously we have other foods, but Memphis is famous for Blues music, Elvis, Martin Luther King Jr., and BBQ.
I'd say a rack of ribs (13) is 1100 grams and likely yields 660g of meat. That's fine for 3-4 people as a portion of a meal.
“Memphis is the BBQ capital of the US .” 😂🤣
Central Texas and the Eastern Carolinas can’t stop laughing!
Oh man, as an Ohioan, if you can get your hands on some homemade Buckeyes, you will be in heaven. They are sooooo delicious.
Just don't try to eat an actual buckeye from a tree. They're poisonous. But we make nice necklaces out of them.
@@reganstormtail3614 Tis a shame they are poisonous, they look tasty, ha ha.
Yeah, once stopped an out of state couple from making a bunch into soup. They thought they were chestnuts. Unfortunately didn't have any of the confection kind with me that day.
@@reganstormtail3614 To be fair, buckeyes and chestnuts look similar to each other, it's an easy mistake to make. Thank goodness you stopped them, though.
i have never heard of buckeye man what is wrong with me?
I live in Calfornia and yes, we are known for our avocados and I love them. I admit though, that even I didn't know we have avocado beer, lol.
I'm half-Japanese and allergic to all seafood, so I can't even eat things like sashimi and most sushi. Love your videos. Keep it up!
You're half Japanese ? same !! and yeah it's sad not being able to enjoy sushi and stuff haha
Yeah, I never heard of avocado beer either. Nor would I drink it.
@@steelguitarunionhall Same here! I love avocados, but that beer doesn't sound good to me at all.
As a full Japanese American
I feel bad that you can’t eat fish.
Are we just gonna ignore how he became a beautiful pro singer in the intro?
yeah some people call me Justin Bieber 😩
As an a person who lives in Arizona, Mexican food is delicious, especially the hot dogs
Seemed amazing....
Whattup fellow arizonan
Sonoran dogs are funny to me, I know they exist but I rarely see them here. I usually think of genuine mexican food when I think of AZ. Or I think of game animal meats native to the region.
@@K0sm1cKid agreed, I've never actually seen one for sale that I can think of. Maybe they're a more southern thing, I'm central, just south of Sedona.
@@robjohnsonmusicandgaming im from the valley and I never see them. Maybe its a Tucson thing or something 😂
Having lived in Colorado for the first half of my life, I can confirm that Rocky Mountain Oysters are an essential to lots of folks there. On the contrary others are very put off by the idea. So if you’re ever in Colorado, and you were to ask any given person if they have tried them at one point or another, it’s likely more than about 80% would say yes, but the number of residents that enjoy the delicacy is about 50/50. Personally the taste isn’t bad, it’s a lot like calamari as they said. But even so, ingesting something that once contained the reproductive cells of an animal is something I’d rather not do.
Something tells me he expected gross greasy unpleasant American food. 😂 good thing most of the food looked great
haha
@@Choppylovechoppy love your videos
I love how while hes watching the vdieo hes having a whole buffet of snacks LMAO
10:39 it’s less seafoodie and more chowdery....
Seriously, a good clam chowder will taste EXACTLY how it looks. Every concept you’ve had about the most savory and hearty chowder or soup you’ve ever had and that’s what a good clam/crab/lobster/turtle chowder will taste like.... it’s good.
I’m from Oregon and willamette pie company makes some banger Marion berry pie. I gotta say though, this is my first time hearing that the Marionberry was basically bio engineered into existence
Meat sizes! Prepping my son for Texas we've been cooking 2.75kg segments of pork shoulder for 5 people for 4 days. This 2.75kg costs between 110-220 yen. That 2.75kg makes meals for about 3 days so roughly 150g/person per day.
What you saw was likely 1kg of ribs which contain roughly 600g of meat. At home I'd plan for 1kg/2 people so 300g serving of meat for a holiday.
Lived in Nebraska for 6 years and was super confused by the whole cinnamon roll and chili thing when I first got there. But I can attest to it: truly amazing. I grew up in California and the love for avocados there is REAL. You can also get avocado ice cream, which is FREAKIN DELICIOUS.
Yeah chili and cinnamon rolls really go well together on a cold day!
Fun fact: In New Mexico bitter melon grows so well here that it's not uncommon to spot them growing wild near the Rio Grande. Same with shiso and purple yam. They say the climate is said to be similar to Tsuyama.
We also have a kind of bonfire season, almost like Obon but it starts in October and stays til early December. Lot of outdoor gatherings by huge bonfires, lighting fireworks, lighting paper lanterns called Farolitos in December, roasting sweet potato stands, and celebrating Dia de Muertos in November to honor the dead.
Salt water taffy is nice unless you have sensitive teeth. I'd suggest trying scrapple, pork roll, and/or Jersey Fresh produce-tomatoes, in particular. One of my favorite warm weather lunches is sliced Jersey tomato on rye or Italian bread with mayonnaise and basil. It's so simple, but... *chef's kiss*
Sounds amazing 🥺
Pork Roll or Taylor Ham lol. Fellow Jersey girl. Our local farms and delis are top notch! I personally hate salt water taffy as it tastes like nothing lol. Instead we have amazing bakeries and fudge makers. And ice cream shops. Def agree our tomatoes are delicious. We are the Garden State.
I didn’t know people CHOSE to eat scrapple haha
@@salemkitty5786 I don't, but my mother loves it. She's a strange woman.
One thing to note is that each state can have it's own regions when it comes to food. Bigger states especially. For example, my area in Michigan only has a couple of small locations that serve pasties. However, go further north and it starts becoming more common. Then again, Michigan also has a city which is basically a giant German theme park, so we might have some more stratification than most.
very interesting !
But going up North and getting a large order of pasties to bring home and have in the freezer is always worth it! I was honestly expecting pasties to be our food, but fudge makes sense going by touristy foods.
I am from Maryland and I can definitely say we eat a lot of crabs 🦀! A lot of seafood actually as we are on the bay!
Traditionally, crab season begins in spring and runs through the summer, then switching to oysters in the fall. We often have oyster stuffing for Thanksgiving. Also gotta add in silver queen corn and pit beef (I love a good bull roast). The town I grew up in used to have a corn boil every September.
My family briefly lived in Maryland when I was a kid (dad is an Air Force Vet and was working from DC, but family lived in Annapolis) and while my memories aren't the clearest (lived there from ages 4 to 7), I DO remember going to like an outdoor Crab fest or something and my dad using a hammer or mallet to deal with the crabs lol. I did become a crab lover because of that lol.
11:32 huckleberry is absolutely delicious! And the only way you can try it is to visit that state during huckleberry season or get a preserved snack or jam from them or nearby.... it’s very rare to find anything fresh... if you get the chance you take it.
For North Carolina it was pretty accurate but where I live (the coast) it is fish everywhere. Every single restaurant is fish. Our biggest industries are fishing, boatbuilding, and tourism.
I grew up going to the outer banks for two weeks every August (Rodanthe, Salvo, etc). We ate the fish and crabs we caught every single night. The best memories!
I love fish if they're properly cooked not like sushi ;)
Do you guys have striped bass (what we call rockfish in Maryland)?
Doing my state dirty! (haha) I'm a Jersey Girl and salt water taffy is gross. Please know we have amazing food here. Very specifically a huge Italian population (with many great Italian restaurants). As well as tons of Indian and Thai places that are so delicious. Not to mention Subs (from local delis and WAWA lol) and of course the Taylor Ham or Pork Roll. As a Latina we have tons of amazing Latin places as well. Lastly, we are THE GARDEN STATE. We have so many local farms where you can pick fruit and farmer's markets.
In Florida you will often see a whole hog roasting over fire. Cubans do it their way, Chinese do it another, and Philippines do it another. Miami you see a lot of this and its normal.
That's so cool
In Montana, hamburgers/cheeseburgers are very popular! In general, Montana is like a northern (colder) Texas.
I’ve been living in Nebraska for the last 15 years and I’ve never heard of the chili and cinnamon rolls thing. Nebraska is literally the “cornhusker state,” so I would have thought something like corn on the cob would have been a more obvious choice.
Runza sells it in their restaurants
As a Kentuckian I'm just glad they picked something other than chicken.
Let's be 100% honest, Americans love fried things or Barbecued things. There is almost nothing we won't fry or put sauce on.
The best way I could describe lobster is if you took shrimp. Make it a little bit richer and then have that seafood aftertaste last a little longer.
As the former Idaho resident I will say that while there are a ton of potato fields is not all we grow. Where I was it was most hay fields or sugar beets. Not a potato field to be found.
looking forward to try out lobster when i'm there !!
The marionberry from Oregon is really similar to blackberries but was bred to be larger and have a little bit more sweetness while still having the tartness, and it's so so so good.
Missourian here - and yes toasted ravioli is very very good! But if you’re ever around St. Louis, you have to try some Gooey butter cake!
Trust me Rocky Mountain Oysters are cringe inducing for most Americans.
But as a man from Alabama yes Chicken with white sauce is VERY American and we’re proud of it.
13:15 As a native Michigander who's culturally obliged to mildly dislike most things from Ohio, I can't deny, buckeyes are so, so delicious.
14:58 "Texas is big for BBQ."
That is true.
Definitely the Philly cheesesteaks! Absolutely amazing! And, as on Okie, I have to agree with the chicken fried steak as well.
Born and raised in Memphis TN, so BBQ is a big deal and I think wherever you go in the states you should try their version. Other foods that vary by region are pizzas, hot dogs, "cheese steak", and cheesecake.
I knew it would be pepperoni rolls in West Virginia, they are sold every where like you can't go to a gas station that doesn't have pepperoni rolls as soon as you leave the state it's like they don't exist anymore.
Dude You Have To Have A Philly Cheesesteak Made By A Philadelphian
Fun fact: my family's heritage is Russian, Austrian and Italian, on special occasions and New Year's Eve we eat a Crock Pot of Pork Butt, Saurkraut and smoked Kielbasa with a bunch of different spices and a Big Bone we take from our Christmas Ham and serve it with mashed potatoes and perogies that are pan fried. The cultural mixing is crazy in America.
You freaking out over the Japanese snacks is so funny
11:17 I don’t care if you aren’t into seafood, if you’ve never tried fried catfish with a bit of lemon then you haven’t lived yet.
In South Carolina we also love our White (use's a milk base followed by onions, chives, and chicken brest meat) and Red Chicken Stew's (use's a tomato sauce base followed by onions, corn, chicken brest meat, and sometimes peas), along with Chili Beans (a stew of fried ground beef or pork, with red beans or naval beans) and Corn Bread (it's a toss up of sweet [with sugar] or buttered [without sugar]). Another South Carolina specialty is our fried Baby Shrimp with Hush Puppies (small sweet cornbread rolls eaten as an appetizer snack).
Fun fact, the Hot Dog comes from St Louis, Missouri (at least, it was introduced at the St Louis World's Fair)
When I was an ALT at a middle school in Kochi Prefecture, I taught students in the school's English club how to make a half-decent Philly cheesesteak. I was able to find most of the ingredients in a local supermarket, and beef pre-cut for shabu-shabu makes for an excellent cheesesteak.
The one style of American food I missed most was barbecue... yakiniku was great, but didn't quite satisfy my craving. I have noticed that quite a few half decent American BBQ places (meat cooked "low & slow") have opened up in Tokyo/Yokohama/Nagoya since I left Japan in the mid 2010s.
Another nice one. Couple of thoughts. If you come to the US only eat regional food in its place of origin. New york style pizza and bagels can only be found in new york. If you are in California and the advertise new york style bagels…run. Same with Texas BBQ. In a place like Austin, the texas bbq is like nothing else in the world. BBQ itself is very regional, but Texas is my favorite. The only place to experience real gumbo is in New Orleans. Lobster tastes great, especially dipped in butter, and clam cakes anywhere are fantastic. Don’t worry, it isn’t too fishy. A Hero in most places is called a hoagie in Pennsylvania. One tiny point. I know you were trying to say “clam chowder”, but it kept coming out “cram chowder”. I know the L sound is difficult for some asian cultures but try putting the tip of your tongue directly behind your upper front teeth. That will help with the l sound. Otherwise your accent is very very good. Always enjoy your videos.
Thank you Bill 😆
Lobster tastes a bit like shrimp but they have a more solid texture to them. It is like the steak of shrimp.
And like your curry, gumbo starts with a roux and is served with rice. We make it with chicken and sausage. It can be made with duck, deer, or seafood.
If you go to America try some tension, deer meat I think you would be surprised. Same for rabbit and quail.
@6:11 this coming from a guy in a country that is known for "sugary snacks" and then amount of Varity between them. lol
I cracked up so hard with your "West Virginia" bit at the end!
Even here in Arkansas my school served chili and cinnamon rolls. I never thought about it but we do eat a lot of cheese dip. It's a staple for every party/event.
No Costco is gonna give you a better Philly cheesesteak than Philly itself. Outside of Philly, I've had some cheesesteaks that taste like pot roast. There's just something magical about Philadelphia.
Avocado beer is no more crazy then making beer from soba noodle broth. You can only find this in Oregon from Rogue.
I love lobster, it's especially good with butter. That may just be because I like most seafood in general.
They screwed up with New Jersey because maybe around the country salt water taffy might be the most iconic, but to people from New Jersey a pork roll egg and cheese is the most iconic food item.
This really shows what I was saying about the states being like little countries! Many Americans won't have even heard of the foods from places near them.
Also macanac and bois blanc are fun places to visit. I did miss the caijun inspired food of my home state, Florida, though.
Mackinaw?
@@kateburcroff5209 With a C is the island. With a W is the city.
The island is Mackinac, the city is Mackinaw. Either way, I wanted to make sure I knew what you were talking about. I wasn't sure if there was a town with a similar name but a different spelling somewhere else.
@@kateburcroff5209 I'm bad with names, sorry
But yeah I have family in michigan, they took me to those two islands, to the locks (spelling idk but the boat elevator), etc on vacation once
Also, pasties are gross :D
Pasties are delicious, if they're done right. And the Soo Locks are awesome 😀
If it hasn't been said here before, depending on how it's prepared and cooked, Lobster meat is known for being chewy, but after it's marinated in butter, sauces, and herbs, it just melts in your mouth.
There's something that butter does to Lobster meat, not only does it Enrich it's taste, but it makes it so easy to bite into, completely getting rid of the chewy texture and softening it to fluffy succulent texture of meat.
Washington is, in my opinion, under represented. We have the coffee and I have to admit I brew my café in a moka pot. But did you know Seattle has more teriyaki restaurants than Tokyo? American teriyaki is very robust in terms of spices. It's our own style. We had a heavy influx of Korea, Thailand, Philippines, Laos, Indonesia and many more.
I'd say our signature dish would be the egg fried taco seasoned generously with AMERICAN sambal (jalapeno and garlic).
You guys love Teriyaki 😂 You're from Washington ? I'm so jealous !!
10:00 As a native Marylander, the Chesapeake blue crab is integral to the culture of the state (and one thing a lot of non-Maryland chefs get wrong about the crab cake is adding too much filler, there should only be just enough non-crab meat in it to keep it in a ball for the time it takes to carry it from the oven to the plate), but the biggest thing about Maryland food is the briefly mentioned Old Bay. It's really just celery salt with some seasoning on it, but ask anyone here and they'll tell you it goes on anything. A very similar seasoning is J.O. seasoning and there's debate on which is better, but for the most part you use J.O. on more industrial uses like throwing it in the steamer while cooking the crabs and you use Old Bay on the person-level foods as dipping or direct seasoning.
The idea with ribs being such huge proportions is to either feed multiple people or have leftovers. That's a common thing for restaurants to do with numerous types of meals and the cut of meat that is ribs is easier to cook as a whole than split into smaller portions raw.
ok so i’m the city i’m from, Cleveland, Ohio, there’s this thing called a Polish Boy. It’s almost like a hot dog, but it’s different. Basically, it’s a fat sausage put into a hot dog bun, and topped with cole slaw, fries, and Open Pit sauce. Open Pit is this super runny barbecue sauce that is very very tangy. It’s messy, and gets everywhere, but it’s served in a to go box and it’s wrapped in aluminum foil. look it up to see what i mean.
Here's a fun fact on why Texas BBQ is king in Texas and it is tied to Texan History. When Railroads were being built, people still relied on Trail Drives to deliver Cows to these Railroad stations that were heading east. So Texas cowboys would take cattle this way and along the way they would have to eat, so they would cook a steer along the over open fires. Someone correct me if I am wrong here, but dry rub became more popular then sauce because these cowboys didn't have sauce readily available during these drives, but they have other things like seasoning. Plus dried meat last longer then wet meat. Any Texan will tell you good bbq doesn't need sauce lol.
One thing I also notice, the fav foods from the states that surround Texas (New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana), their fav foods can be found here in Texas too. We love our queso (melted cheese with salsa), chicken fried steak (my mom makes it frequently lol), peppers, and in East Texas you will find gumbo.
Florida here: Can confirm, the Cuban Sandwich is amazing, you literally can't find a bad Cuban sandwich anywhere in Southern Florida
Im from indiana! Some of these things I've tried (buckeyes, crawfishboils are legendary, chicago deep dish pizza, chicken and gravy, gumbo, fudge)
But there are somethings not on this list too, that you should add to yours! Around thanksgiving in the midwest there is green bean casserole: 4 cans of green beans, 2 cans of mushroom soup, soy sauce and crispy onions on top. Soft american cookies. You have to have a Chicago dog: sesame seed bun, hot dog, mustard, celory salt, blue relish, tomatoes, onion, sport peppers, and pickle spears. Apple pie in the fall. Key lime pie in the spring. Chicken and waffles, served at any breakfast place. Cobb salad: lettus, egg, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, extra virgin olive oil, chicken, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, cherry tomatoes, and chives. A regular dinner made at home is baked potatoes topped with either barbecue or butter, sour cream, cheese, pepper, and chives. Drink wise, we love lavender coffee where I live and lavender mojitos too!
Oh and you cant forget avocado toast which is just devine! Its made differently at almost any place you try. Some places even have specialty avocado toast. But do yourself a favor and get it from a local coffee shop. They somehow always have it, and its always the best!
Last thing Cincinnati is famous for their chili! Tbh idk of a more normal household winter meal than chili. In my area, peopke even hunt the meat they use for their chili. If your hunting its going ti be deer chili, if your just making it from supplies at the grocery store, its beef chili. But cincinatti adds more and different spices, noodles, cheese, and serves the whole thing next to crackers. Its so good!
his reactions to the comparison of texas and utah had me laughing so hard 😂
lobster & crab are amazing... if you have a Buffalo wild wings near you, get a side of buffalo rub, sprinkle a small pinch into the drawn butter they (not the wing place, the seafood place) provide w/ the lobster/crab (after trying some without 1st) & you will be obsessed.
buckeyes are FANTASTIC but theyre just powdered sugar, peanut butter, and chocolate on the outside lol
I was waiting for alligator in Florida, but it was a cuban sandwich.
I am perfectly fine with that.
In Utah, we love green jello with carrots in them and fry sauce.
I've never tried lobster either, but as someone who's allergic to shellfish, Crab is amazing. I'd be willing to eat it gain one day, though it'll probably be the last time lol :D
Lobsters were once food for prisons. If you were a criminal you were doomed to eat lobster.
Like many people I'd rather eat crab.
I'm the exact opposite, I'd much rather have lobster than crab.
I’d rather not eat bottom feeding sea creatures.
I live in Kansas and my favorite foods are beef pot pie, chicken fajitas, steaks and beef stew. My opinion of barbecue ribs (I do love to eat them) is the well seasoned less than desirable bone in meat.
Another good Pennsylvanian food you might like is a whoopie pie (also know as a gob in western PA). The traditional whoopie pie is a sandwich of two chocolate cake-like cookies with white frosting in middle. They are so dang good. Apparently it's a dessert that originated from the Amish!
I am in Kodiak Alaska, and yes, salmon and wild game is a regular part of my diet.
My mom makes buckeye balls ever year for Christmas, it’s the only reason I’m glad I’m from Ohio
Not surprised that that bokksu was about tsukimi since it was around that time. I'm taking Japanese in American highschool and we learned about tsukimi around the Harvest moon.
10:28 That’s “Chow-da”! “CHOW-DAH!”
(Simpsons reference in case you were wondering).
I'm from Louisiana and we have a really broad food culture, while Gumbo is a popular choice we also have some of the highest production of rice in the United States
I'm a vegetarian, so I don't eat most of this, but peach cobbler is good. We have a lot of that in Tennessee too. Banana pudding is big here too.
Rocky Mt oysters aren't bad but I prefer lamb fries (fried lamb testicles) it taste like fried oysters & has the same creamy texture inside the batter. I like eating it with lemon juice & cocktail sauce. Also I'm from Arkansas & we definitely have a ton more local dishes that are amazing.
I went to the Tjukiji fish market in Tokyo, there was all sorts of Japanese street food and snacks there, i remember trying mocchi, and a ton of other stuff. And also yes, we catch our own fish
Nobody in New Jersey like salt water taffy. It's something you buy when you're at the shore, because you're expected to, or you're a tourist. Now, taylor ham, egg and cheese. That's the bomb; that or a nice buttered roll.
Kept wondering what Ohio’s was gonna be.
Not surprised and not disappointed.
haha
The sandwich from Costco is not the same as a Philly cheesesteak. Trust me.
West Virginia food is the WV style hotdog. A hotdog on a steamed but with sauce, hamburger, spices and tomato paste, cole slaw, raw onions and mustard and ketchup.
I would definitely consider the pepperoni roll much more iconic for WV though. Lived here my whole life and have never even heard of this style of hot dog lol
I just watched your DONTs of America video and you mentioned you wanted to camp and caravan, I would say if you visit New England stay at white lake state park!!! It’s really amazing
Cuban sandwiches are sooo ooshii.
yeah looked like it 🥺
I'm from missouri and I can say I've never seen anybody make fried raviolis.
they’re a bit more common in the stl area
Yeah definitely more common in STL area!
As an Idahoan I am proud to have the potato as our state identity.
I lived in Colorado for 15 years... Still not brave enough to try the "oysters"
let me know when you finally do
Best not to confuse the buckeye dessert with the nuts from a buckeye tree. The nuts are mildly poisonous.
If you ever try deep dish pizza, from Chicago, I recommend Giordano's restaurant. It's the best that I've had. And expect your pizza to take longer to cook, and you will need fork and knife! 😆
Seeing the shocked look on your face reacting to deep dish pizza was hilarious. It's definitely a deep dish!
some of these were really interesting to me
I live in Minnesota that food tastes really good
My mom made this food it had different meat and sausages but forgot what it was called it was so good
I'm a little surprised they didn't mention Fry Sauce for Utah. It was invented in Utah and isn't really seen in other states (which I just can't understand it's so good!) I feel like it's more popular than Jello, honestly.
Also, we have shopd that are purely just for soda. Apparently according to other people, other states don't do that.
It's it just a generic name of "fry sauce"? They sells plenty of sauces in stores.
