Ah oh sorry to tell you boudin has No rice NO pork inside of it. Boudin is a french cuisine and it is a sausage of pork blood with spices. Nothing else. variants are Blodplättar from sweden, Blood tofu from china. It is very rich in Iron and is very useful in summer because if can regulate the redblood cells in your body and help the circulation of oxygen. ( making your body cool off more easily)
@ SaberRunTV, cajun boudin has rice and pork, although the pork may be substituted for crawfish, gar, turtle, or whatever else they may have a lying around. The Cajuns are descendants of the Acadians who were a French speaking people that were forcibly deported from Canada and ended up in south Louisiana.
Ohh, mrs. Eats....
If THESE were the highlights, you have missed out on SO many regional specialties. : )
There is;
Missouri; toasted ravioli , Gerber sandwiches, Cuban meatloaf sandwiches, calfs brain sandwiches, tai bbq pork wings, st. Paul sandwiches, and beer cheese dip
Arizona; grilled rattlesnake, prickly pear cactus fries, and bison burgers
Louisiana; clam po boys, alligator sausages, and muffuletta's
The new england / Boston menu ; ( to much to name, but, can be found on youtube, via searching " james townsend" )
Wild american foods; paw paw pie, buffalo milkweed pods, crabapple jam, pink lemonade berries / cloud berries, strawberry rhubarb pie ( available in many gas stations. May be in japan, didnt see them last time I was there )
Or, voodoo donuts, in Chicago.: )
I know of MANY odd, and, local eats. : )
( note; the last place I know that still serves calf brain sandwiches is " hoddag's " . The name is derived from one of the " fearsome critters of lumber woods". It refers to a nearly invincible creature, said to roam the american wilderness, similar to a dragon. It took 14 sticks of dynamite to knock one out. However, its said there exceptionally sensitive to citric acid, so much so, that, they can be dissolved by orange juice. Even by limber woods enthusiasts, there thought to be extinct today. )
Honey buns taste much better if you microwave it for 10 to 20 seconds. Also, how much pickle juice do you put in the chili?
Some people also eat Grits with sugar instead of salt
American food is shockingly regional, I didn't know grits existed until I was 14 and went to camp in Georgia lol
😆
Not that shocking really...this place is frickin huge.
I didn’t know what grits were either. I still never tried it
Right?? None of the foods she talked about are common where I'm from in the south west united states. This all sounds like its all deep south.
First tried grits at 31 lol. Had never seen them before and lived in America my entire life
_"Fish Sperm Sack"_
My brain short-circuited when she said that
For me it was when she said (when you bite it, it bursts in your mouth) 😱😏😏
Would you like to watch an episode of The Long Way Round where Charley and Ewan eat boiled sheep testicles in Mongolia? ;)
Same. I was like "she's too innocent to know what she just said" 💀
@@foresightmystery9845 ? 😆
same
I laughed so hard! My ex is from China (we're still like family) and her first trip to America was about the same as yours! My parents took us to a "Chinese restaurant" buffet and she whispered to me "I thought we're going to a Chinese restaurant". I said we did, you're eating it now! The look of shock on her face!!! 🤣😂🤣🤣😂
This is probably how Americans overseas feel when they visit a McDonalds and the menu has been tailored to the country.
I recvently saw the video of tribal people from Pakistan trying a Big Mac for the first time, and there were two fried chicken patties on it. The toppings were wrong too.
Oh gosh poor thing lol. Yeah I'm mixed Japanese, white and African American.
I remember Introducing my friends from Japan and China and Indonesia as well as my friends from Germany and England and France to soul food. They're always a little weirded out at first but they always fall in love. Especially with Greens and cornbread.
I never knew that Chinese food and American Chinese food were two different cuisines until a few years ago
@@rosemartasgaminghoard Well yeah. American Chinese food evolved differently to Chinese food due to different cultures and etc.
@@tunnelsnakesrule7541 Oh I meant to say that I thought the Chinese food here was like traditional Chinese food. American Chinese food was a new term to me a couple years ago. Now that I know how American Chinese food came about it makes sense.
In case you need more detailed info:
1 ) Grits: Made from hominy (a type of corn) which is first dried, soaked in a hydroxide solution to remove the hulls, then dried again and ground into a sand-like powder. Long called "grit hominy" or "hominy grits", it was eventually shortened to just "grits" as hominy was the food still prepared in this fashion. Very popular in the Great Plains, Midwest, and the Southern US and cheap due to fast growth (typically two months from planting to harvest) - grits go with eggs for breakfast, fried chicken for lunch, or steak for supper; it's a very versatile side dish.
2 ) Catfish: Gets it's name because of its fairly unique long whiskers, reminiscent of a cat; most commonly found in lakes and slow-moving rivers. Considered a 'trash fish' by many (being a bottom-feeder, aka scavenger), it quickly became a dietary staple in the Southern US due to the economic hardships following the US Civil War. Deep fried (as you had it) is how the fish is most commonly prepared, though it's also grilled or incorporated into stews and gumbos.
3 ) Honey Buns: This is something of an odd duck as a proper honey bun *is* made with honey though most mass-produced versions (such as Krispy Kreme's) simply use sugar. Per my grandmother, honey buns originated during WWII when sugar was tightly rationed (if available at all) while honey was freely available - even promoted by the US Govt as "the patriotic alternative sweetener". Since the early 1990s, about the only place you can get real honey buns anymore is at southern bakeries but it's worth the effort at least once.
I can't comment on boudin as it's *very* regional.
Kids absolutely *LOVE* sour tastes - while I never cared much for pickles (I very much despise vinegar - smells and tastes horribly rancid to me), the 1970s and 1980s stores were positively flooded with all manner of sour candies. One of the most popular were Atomic Warheads - still around today simply as Warheads, they have the potential to make your mouth pucker inside-out! Most everyplace here sells whole dill pickles (individually-wrapped or sold one at a time from a huge jar) and frequently sell out, so it's clear that my aversion towards vinegar is a statistical outlier.
Boudin is Cajun food popular especially in my home state Louisiana and even parts of south east Texas.
As an addition to your excellent explanations, the reason that people drink pickle juice is to reduce cramps during strenous exercise (like playing soccer). It was a very common drink during the roman empire. In modern times, people see athletes drink it and subsequently want to drink it to be like their heroes.
@@michaelwebster3124 That detail (about Roman use) explains a lot! Drink all the water you want, it doesn't help one bit unless you also replace the salts and other electrolytes you've lost - key components of brine (aka pickle juice). I'd forgotten that part of the research which led to the creation of Gatorade.
Grits should be sweet
@@AlphaFlight Only to a point. Two pats of real butter and half a teaspoon of molasses is about as sweet as grits should EVER get.
America has a lot of diversity when it comes to food with specific foods being common in one area but never heard of in other regions
This might sound shocking, but virtually every country has regional dialects, foods, and cultures. The US only has a couple of states with more regional tastes and for the most part it only applies to things in that state.
@@KRYMauL the US has more then 2 states with very regional tastes
@@mcclintick I meant a couple of things per each state.
most foods in America have been taken from somewhere else though, due to the nature of how America was settled and the variety of people from different places their foods came with them. Take grits, they were first invented by the Italians and were called Polenta. So most American foods tend to have a counterpart by another country with a different name who actually invented them first.
Pizza puffs.
Pickle juice “for soccer field” is probably because a lot of people say it helps with cramps. A lot of athletes drink it
Yeah, absolutely! I think it’s the salt content, like Gatorade, helps muscles retain water while also keeping electrolyte levels high for muscle function.
Funny story, but when Pokémon go came out, I would spend HOURS wandering the streets at night down in Florida. It was the summer, and still very hot at night. Well about a week in, I too had cramps, and my legs out “short circuit”, almost as if they were being electrocuted lol I asked my friend who is a nutritionist and she stated you need these salts for the electrical signals to travel through your muscles, hence electrolytes 🤣 my whole life I never put it together. I day of drinking Gatorade and eating pickles fixed me right up!
@@IAmDemonDog it's not the salt, it's the magnesium. If you get leg cramps at night take a low dose magnesium pill before sleep. Works like a charm.
@@griffca4814 the two most common nutrients in pickle juice are sodium and potassium, and it also contains a small amount of calcium and magnesium.
Magnesium and calcium benefit bones and teeth, whilst both sodium and potassium prevent fluid retention in the muscles.
It is the high amounts or sodium and potassium mate, not the magnesium.
Magnesium pulls fluid from the muscles into the intestines, which is why non-stimulant laxatives are pure magnesium(milk of magnesia, magnesium citrate, Phillips stool softener)
In clinical studies testing magnesium for leg cramping, almost all the research shows it's ineffective, because it pulls fluid from the muscles, to the intestines, doing the opposite of what the combined sodium and potassium does.... Because any chemist knows vitamins need other vitamins to activate each other. Neither magnesium nor Vitamin D can be absorbed by the body without each other. Vitamin C cannot be absorbed without Iron.
If you believe a magnesium supplement helped your leg cramping, I'm sorry to say that was the placebo effect, and you likely began getting your potassium and sodium adequately through diet.
Thank you so much for solving my question!! It makes sense!
Probably the vinegar? Cause I know athletes drink apple cider vinegar
fried cat fish with lemon juice over top is amazing! Boudin is eaten in the southern USA mainly Louisiana so glad you got to experience it the taste is wonderful.
Or with hot sauce on 👌🏻👌🏻
Don’t forget to try Seafood Gumbo, Shrimp Poboys, Crawfish Etoufee, Fried Alligator, Oysters, and much more!
OMG yes pure heaven
@@tonnywhite123
I'll be back home in Louisiana in a couple days until Saturday. I'm definitely getting everything Cajun I can get, especially homemade by family. I eat catfish with: tartar, hot sauce, malt vinegar, and fresh lemon. The best! I really want some fried oysters.
pickle juice is often brought to athletic events because it helps prevent cramps. it also contains a lot of sodium and some potassium and magnesium, which can help keep you hydrated. It isn't used super often as just a regular drink, but some people like it enough to do that.
Japanese : Eats Fugu
Japanese: Fear of Catfish.
A Japanese teacher I work with told me she caught ザリガニ with her daughter and showed me a picture of what I know as ‘crawfish’. I said ‘Oh! Are you going to eat them?!’ She looked at me so horrified and disgusted and told me NO they’re keeping them as pets. So I explained crawfish boils to her and the whole class of 4th graders. They were all shocked and the teacher was especially grossed out 😂 Man I miss my neighborhood’s summer crawfish boils back in Texas 💔
We used to put a log in the creek then we would walk 3 boys down the creek and then the crawdaddies would all stop at the log and we would catch 30 or 40 easily. Amarillo TX. Was one of our favorite things back then as 10yo boys.
@@Kryynism I never caught them myself! That sounds like such a great childhood summertime memory though! 🥺 my very fun and generous neighbors who love to host parties throw a huge boil every year by their backyard pool. The height of summer ☀️
@@MyMessyJapaneseKitchen now that I have a 9yo son he catches gators in FL. Haha
Yet they eat live shrimp lol. 🤦♂️
Sweet Mercy, should see the crayfish back around the southern shores of my homeland. They're huge. They're also biped-shy, and will hiss at people that get close.
Not all honeybuns are created equal. I imagine the Krispy Kreme donuts are kind of crusty and don't have a lot of cinnamon on them. If you get a nice warm, soft one from a specialty shop it might live up to your original expectations. If you haven't tried Boston Creme Donuts, you should go to the best donut shop and try one!
I worked at Krispy Kreme, which are "fast mass-produced doughnuts". My manager there would actually make his own doughnuts at home which he said tasted wayyy better and were shockingly easy to make.
You seemed confused about the pickle juice. I will try and explain. It is extremely useful for sports due to its high electrolytes content. In my experience, it is mainly used when a player is experiencing muscle cramps and needs quick relief so they can go back to playing.
The secret to honeybuns is to heat it up in the microwave for about 20 seconds. The sugar and oils melt away and you get a sweet donut that pulls away so easily. The texture is what makes it so great.
Damn it, now I want one
grilled cheese with two Honey buns, cheddar and bacon. That is a game changer
Also anything made by Krispy Kreme has a definite life. And it’s measured in hours. You need to buy Krispy Kreme directly from their stores, not from the supermarket. Supermarket/convenience store KK, is dry and stale. Even microwaving can only restore a bare semblance of its fresh hot glory.
Entenmann’s used to make great shelf-stable honey buns, but still, yes, they’re best served reheated/warm.
Depends on the brand too, some brands just don't taste that good, and Krispy Kreme's packaged pastries tend to use hydrogenated oil which has a disgusting texture honestly
It sounds like you're American trip was in the American southeast, maybe Louisiana? Not all of America eats grits or boudin regularly, it's mostly a southern thing. I'm glad you liked it and the catfish! A lot of people put cheese over grits and we often put boudin in chicken&sausage gumbo or jambalaya, if you'd like give it a try
When she spoke of putting sweet things on the grits my lil ol Southern heart just broke a little, lol!! I was happy she enjoyed them though. A lot of people don't who didn't grow up eating them. And I too will cheese them up.
If you’re a chad you’ll put eggs in your grits.
@@JustTheTruth-Please 0_0 im in texas and i always but jam or sugar in my grits. ive never even had them savory lol
I'm from Louisiana and you've just made me so hungry with this comment lmao
@@exosluckyone yessss I've always sugared my grits, a lil salt, a lil sugar, and some butter!
Were you in Louisiana? It's my home state. Grits and fried catfish are both southern classics, and boudin is specifically "Cajun" (Acadienne, a group of French speaking people who migrated from Canada to Louisiana). Grits = a porridge made from ground hominy, a type of corn that is very high in starch. Fried catfish is one of my favorites. I'm surprised to hear a Nihonjin was reluctant to eat something that looks strange. :-) Boudin is delicious! Some other Louisiana classics to try: jambalaya, shrimp and crab gumbo, boil crawfish, and of course, red beans and rice.
if Mrs Eats enjoyed grits with only butter and salt, i would love to know her reaction to trying shrimp grits or cheese grits! 🤤
I've had cheese gtits with shrimp. Best of both worlds!
Cheese grits are bomb!
Today years old = shrimp grits
Also great with bacon!
I'm a Minnesotan and my favorite way to eat Grits is with Honey, Milk, and Cinnamon. Basically like Oatmeal or Porridge:)
“Fish sperm sack”
And then the description of it being “creamy inside” and it “pops in your mouth”
I just can’t 🤣
🤢🤮
Well...... That ah, that explains some things.....
Then she compared it to grits.....
Protein is protein.
That's horrifying on every level imaginable
This should be called: Tell me Mr Eats is from the south without telling me he's from the south LOL I love grits so much and catfish!! Fun fact some people eat sugar on their grits instead of salt and pepper. Also some regions in the US feel the same about catfish and won't eat it. It's mostly in the south, just like grits hehehehe
Grits is sooo good!!! I want to make a grits bowl topped with fried catfish!
What the?!
I live in Illinois, and we eat Catfish all the time.
@@Influx27 - yeah, but that is Illinois. You do know the nickname for the Illinois River, right?
@@Phantom0fTheRouter there are a few Illinois rivers. Kinda like how there are a few Peorias (still weirds me out that there's one in Arizona, like they couldn't just steal the name of the local tribe like Peoria Illinois's settlers did).
@@Influx27 - The nasty Illinois River in Illinois...
2:29 We have something similar here in the Philippines, it's called champorado. A sweet hot chocolate rice porridge, directly adapted from the Mexican champurrado.
A college nutritionist was consulted by a coach to help his team perform better. They did a study and found athletes were able to withstand hot weather better with pickle juice, better than they did with Gatorade. That's where that started and why they now sell it like they do.
Seeing the "typical American breakfast" I understand why many Japanese say we have such huge portions. That is not how most people eat at home unless they have a very physical job. You are expected to have leftovers to take home at a restaurant like that. Some people do eat their grits thinner or sweet. it is basically a white corn porage. Most people don't eat catfish regularly in the USA it is mostly a southern thing. No comment on Honeybun. You were defiantly in the south. Pickel juce It is because of the sodium content if you are sweating a lot it will help replace the salt.
That's why they don't get it. The idea of taking food home from a restraint is a pretty American idea. Lots of countries find that rude or just not possible to take food home.
@@TheNuclearGeek Here in the UK you can take leftovers home (we call it a doggy bag), but it's not expected in the same way that it seems to be in America
@@hannahk1306 yeah, it's literally expected that you will be taking food home with you. Especially dinner. Wait staff isn't asking if you're done to get you to leave, they just wanna know if you're ready to have your leftovers boxed up.
@@TheNuclearGeek it’s not *mandatory* to take your food home as an american. it’s not even expected, as you claim. it’s just an widely american idea. i’ve never been to a restaurant where they force you to box up some of your food and in fact, i’ve been in restaurants where you’re not even *allowed* to take home leftovers. it’s not “rude” to have leftovers and the only thing that makes it “rude” is the notion that a plate of food is somehow correlated to personal worth. people in america have enough problems with food without being told we’re “rude” for asking for a box bc we couldn’t finish our food.
There are those that like grits sweet, there are the traditionalist that like it with salt and pepper with butter, and there are those that like it with a slice of cheese on it. In regard to catfish it’s best to get pond raised catfish, because catfish are bottom feeders. I have heard catfish out of the river have a muddy taste and need more preparation to account for that. Pickle has been used as a remedy for muscle cramps.
I’ve never seen a Krispy Kreme honeybun so you finding one is news to me lol. The honeybuns I grew up with are by a brand called Little Debbie and are found in grocery stores. They’re also much tastier if you warm them up first.
.....yes, the iced honey buns....15 seconds in the microwave.....I can eat about six at a time......
@@urbanurchin5930 So the whole box? Lol
I loved Little Debbie Honey Buns as a kid! Haven't had them in decades! 😋😘💜
Wait, little debbie has honey buns? I've only ever seen Hostess and Great Value (Walmart) honeybuns
@@azlandtheamerican Tbh maybe I'm confused about the brand name. I know mine weren't Walmart, though, because in the 1960's our city didn't have a Walmart.
Grits are found mostly in the southern states. It is considered "soul food".
Also, if you like chili, try adding a spoonful of peanut butter in the pot while cooking it. It is supposed to be amazing (I don't like chili). Not many people like the taste of pickle juice. It is just salty vinegar water left over from making pickles.... like you will find in glass jars.
Pleasantly surprised that you tried (and enjoyed!) boudin. I am a Cajun, and pretty much only people born and bred in Louisiana know about boudin. I guess I'll have to look out for that Korean dish sundae so that I can try it; as for boudin, it is my number one favorite dish. If you get the chance, try other Louisiana dishes too, such as gumbo (there are three varieties!), etouffee, red beans and rice, and jambalaya. (My son's favorite meal is red beans and rice; I love me some red beans and rice too! I enjoy all of the Louisiana dishes.)
Louisiana gang!
Boudin is also a dish that exists in France but there in the sausage instead of porc and rice is basically coagulated animal blood
Fellow Louisianian!
She would prolly like crawfish boil.
@@neohelios4776
Yap, and we have not only black boudins in France, but also white. The white one is a specialty from the Champagne Ardennes region, made with pork meat, fresh eggs and milk. If you pay us a visit someday, give it a try. By the way, I love Louisiana cuisine, it's lovely to see how Louisiana branched off from french cuisine after the state definitively joined USA. Jambalaya and Cajun sauce chicken are my favorite.
The taste of catfish is very much dependent on the region it comes from. Catfish is also sometimes called "trash fish" because it will eat pretty much anything and live in some tough conditions. So if the source is polluted enough, the catfish is going to taste bad.
@@josiahjacinto4156
Just make sure it's not 6 or 8 herbs and spices
Channel raised catfish is the better catfish because they aren't raised in the river, but in lakes and reservoirs.
Yes.. catfish are known bottom feeders.
I prefer catfish heavily seasoned for this reason. I cant really eat it otherwise.
Larger sized bottom feeders, that doesn't sound good
...As a Louisianan, your love of grits, fried catfish, and boudin makes me INCREDIBLY happy.
I don't know how much you've had, and this is the first time I've stumbled across your channel... buuuuuut.... Other things that Louisiana is particularly well-known for that I suggest that everybody tries if they ever come here;
1. Gumbo (Chicken and sausage is my favorite)
2. Go to a crawfish boil. (Just don't eat the back veins. They're not veins. And don't listen to people when they say "that's where all the flavor comes from." It is not. It is where the poopoo is.)
3. Jambalaya. It's good for your soul.
4. Alligator. Blackened or fried. Try both. I personally prefer blackened, because it's seared just the way I like it and has all the seasonings I love.
As a florida man i teally want to eat gator meat. i havent had the opportunity though.
Eat the vein, jerry
Where are you getting crawdaddies with a vein? Ive never even noticed one after peeling a tail. It's the yellow stuff you must mean and that's fat not poop 💛. That's the shit.
Loving grits, catfish, and boudin is just gravity.
I wish I could try Gator. I live more inland, and it's impossible to find here.
Shirako - I think you have solved a mystery for me. When I was in Japan I was trying to find out what the things I ate actually were. Translations are sometimes unreliable, especially if it is not something we eat in the west (I am English). So I had this dish translated as 'fish testicles'. I was sure this was wrong, but it seems not!
I’ve tried this brand that makes honeybuns (Little Debbie), but it’s in a swirl and it’s more yellow and sugary and it’s literally SO GOOD it’s also put into a clear bag and you have to tear to get it out
Mrs. Freshley's?
@@JoeHuddleston nvm, it was little debbie
Clearly you were in the southern United States. The fun thing about the US is that it is large enough to have quite a few distinct regions with their own type of food. Like, if you thought "grits" were heavy then Chicago style deep dish is going to scare you.
Maybe! But Chicago pizza is on my bucket list!
Maybe she should visit different regions!
@@MrsEats - if you want Chicago style deep dish try Gino's East or Rosati's. Personally I prefer Rosati's thin crust, but their deep dish has a good reputation too. Their thin crust is also unlike that in other parts of the U.S.
As for grits - it's basically corn porridge using a white corn, hominy - and it's primarily a Southern thing, one of the few dishes that is common throughout the southeastern United States. In the southwest they make polenta (the traditional word is mush, but no one uses that any more) which is a similar dish made with yellow corn. Make sure you try some southern style biscuits too. For biscuits, Bojangle's is a good option that's available in several states.
As an American, I feel intimidated by Chicago style deep dish, lol. It looks delicious though!
@@Myrope It's not an everyday thing, but if you like pizza and lasagna, you'll like deep dish.
Grits instead of made with oatmeal or rice its made with "hominy" which is from corn. As a toddler I would scream until I got my "cheesy grits" in the morning, which is just as it sounds: shredded cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. One of my favorite fish comes from the Great Lakes region called Walleye, would definitely recommend either fried or fillet.
Wow! Walleye is giant!!! Yes, I’d love to try it someday!
Walleye and perch are the tastiest fish in America by far
Great Lakes whitefish is far better than walleye but perch is also good.
Yum!!!!
I am a Wisconsinite, and am definitely familiar with the Walleye/haddock/perch debate. It gets pretty fierce up here! For those who might not be aware, Wisconsin LOVES it's Friday fish fry tradition!
The idea behind the pickle juice is that you drink it before physical activity to have a lower chance of getting muscle cramps, and or drinking it when you get cramps to remove them. I don't know how it works, but if you ever have muscle cramps in your legs or arms, or really anywhere, the pickle juice will help eliminate them!
Your humor is so good! I’m so happy I found this channel
why do Japanese people get freaked out by the idea of eating catfish? That's the biggest thing I'm wondering after this video. You mentioned the 'slimy' look of them, but as far as I can tell Japan is perfectly content with foods like octopus and squid
Yes, and they like Fugu sashimi too! And they eat the Fugu balls! ( Visit Shimonoseki for some fresh Fugu! )
Natto...
I totally agree. We eat every kind of fish, white, pink, oily blue and all in between, with every kind of cooking ways, raw and dried, sear, simmer, steam, grill, fry and deep-fry, and so on. We eat Dojyo and Shako - why not Nanazu?
For a better comparison I think eel is slimy
Probably just this lady hamming it up. I have a hard time believing Japanese people in general wouldn't eat catfish because of how it looks since they eat a WIDE variety of seafood including eels. They do have a wild catfish in Japan that I have seen people fish for them but didn't seem to provide any culinary interest. Plus the amur catfish of Japan is not the same as the typical American channel.
Grits can be found in almost every southern or black family kitchen. My grandma is from the south and she makes a dish with shrimp, onions, and peppers served on top of grits.
My great grandmother use to make something similar. I want to go to your Gma’s for dinner 😋
Its legit called Shrimp and Grits..
I go to a place here that sells chicken and grits.. with local made sausage, griddle cooked potatoes , mushrooms, and onions.. the chicken is little pieces and its spicy and fried.
it looks really good!
i know about north italian polenta or german grießbrei but grits seems to be more fluffy (and according to wikipedia the contained B3 vitamin can be utilized, not possible with the european "relatives")
i hope i can visit the states someday and when i do, i want to try this!
I literally posted the same thing!!!! LOVE IT! CHEESE AND CHICKEN STOCK TOO!
I eat it with maple syrup and annoy my northern and southern relatives!
Boudin is mostly eaten in southwest Louisiana, which is my home state. It's a very popular streetfood here, though oftentimes it's steamed rather than grilled. A lot of people from outside the state pronounce it as ブーディーン, but locals pronounce it more like ブーダン with slightly more emphasis on the ダン-part.
You should come see our state sometime if you ever get the chance.
Pickle juice was used for rehydrating and getting electrolytes back before Gatorade was invented, some people really prefer it and it also supposedly prevents or shortens cramping when playing sports. To enjoy grits properly you need to add extra aged cheddar (the dry crumbley kind).
I feel like a southerner would actually be at home at Japan with all of the different types of unique cuisines.
I don't think so. They might gain a pound. Too much fat and sugar
@@itsbeyondme5560 A southern would probably lose weight in Japan not gain.
As a Southerner that spent two years in Japan I think the only thing I couldn't come to terms with was natto.
As a southerner I love Japanese food and make it regularly!! Along with many other foods from other places and southern food and all the foods!! Haha....we just love foods that taste good😸
@H Oh Ok
we may not have shirako here but "rocky mountain oysters" are a thing
its bull testicles
Was going to add this if no one else did. Mostly in the US it's a western (hence rocky mountain) or midwestern thing. I have had an opportunity to try them when I was teenager, I did not. I do occasionally see sign advertising when they have them, usually bars. I live in Indiana.
We also have Head Cheese
Literally Calves Brains
I"m not 100% sure of this. But being from a Southern Family, and eating them on a regular basis growing up, I was always told that "Calf Fries" were bull testicles and "Rocky Mountain Oysters" were goat testicles. Both are delicious if prepared correctly.
@AnonymousGhost If you're hungry enough, you'll eat just about anything. I don't know if it was learned from Native Americans, who rarely (if ever) let anything useful go to waste, or was an act of desperation after some disaster, but apparently enough people enjoyed the taste, so they are fairly common in the western states. Heck, in Europe, calves brains and tripe (intestines) are eaten regularly, and in Scotland there's haggis, a meat porridge boiled in a sheep's stomach. Originally developed by serfs/peasants with little other access to meat protein, it's now enjoyed for its own sake. On Burns Night celebrations (which honor poet Robert Burns), there is a ceremony called Piping in the Haggis, in which the haggis is brought into the hall to the sound of bagpipes. (By the way, did you know that the 'natural casing' on your hot dogs is actually intestine? Thank about that...)
Only weirdos eat that though.
The references are so good too. Seriously great content!!
I discovered your channel recently and I really enjoy it! It’s the perfect combination of informative and entertaining. Thank you so much and I hope you do more!😊
"Pickles" in America is generally understood to be pickled cucumber. The majority of American pickles are made with the herb dill, which gives the juice a refreshing flavor.
People will take a shot of whiskey and follow it with a shot of pickle juice, this is called a "pickle back." You can also add dill pickle juice to the dressing for cold pasta and potato salads.
It’s also high in electrolytes! (Which is why it’s common for sports)
Anyone chasing whiskey with a shot of lime/lemon juice or pickle juice is doing nothing but trying to get wasted.
Whiskey and tequila are tasty enough to sip and appreciate the flavor.
It also can help with an upset stomach
I have never heard of drinking pickle juice with shots, sounds like something gross they would probably do in the south. xD But yeah pickles are a great drunk food
Brining chicken in pickle juice for about an hour before frying it is delicious.
You must have been in the south, maybe more specifically in Louisiana. There are millions of people from the north and west of the US who have never eaten any of the foods you talked about here. But this is the first video of yours I've watched, and I loved it! Will be back for more!
I had the same thought! The grits and catfish narrowed it down to the South, but the Boudin told me Louisiana XD
yea I'm from north US and never heard of most of these expect for the honey bun
Yeah all this screams Louisiana, east Texas, or maybe Mississippi.
Ya Northeastern here, no idea what boudin was.
@@victoriacook6283 delicious. boudin balls are even better. they take the stuffing but instead of putting it in a sausage casing they roll it into a ball, cover it in egwwash/fry, and deep fry it.
I went through a honey bun phase when I was a teenager. Eventually, I turned the package over and read the nutrition facts which horrified me so badly that I have never eaten one since lol 😆
Omg same !!!!!
Same
Twinkies, any other gas station pastry really.
Artery clogger… instantly shortened life for 5 years…😅😅😅
I used to run long distances a lot and would get horrible calf muscle cramps. My mom told me to drink pickle juice before and after running. Not sure why it helps but it really does!
Potassium
I love how so many of these where Southern foods -and Mrs. Eats loved them!
Southern food is a game changer!! I love it!
FTR Girts are white hominy corn dried out then ground down to corn meal.
I’m bummed no really good bbq 😢 southern bbq 🤑
Maybe Mr Eats was from the South I am East Coast N.J American
These are all Southern foods. Coming from CA, I was 50 before I had grits in a diner. And greens, and livermush.
You must have traveled through the south.
I'm American and even I haven't eaten grits, fried catfish, or boudin. Very southern foods.
Heck, I've never even had pickle juice that wasn't leftover from an actual jar of pickles. Certainly never sold as a snack where I'm from.
I'm from the South and don't eat that junk either. That is the backwoods inbred southern food ha ha 😎
Definitely the south, I'm from Memphis. I know many of these, except boudin. But grits was so common. Fried catfish is my love. Pickle juice is not that common but I do drink it from leftover jar. oop...
@@TitoTimTravels Really? Cause you really don't have to be from a backwoods to have these things. Catfish and grits are definitely not just backwoods junk. Boudin is more of a creole/New Orleans thing.
I’m in Nebraska and have never had boudin, and grits aren’t common around here. But catfish is all over, and in our nearby lakes. I’ve never been a huge fan, but like many other types of fish.
@@Rainbowcreamsoda Yeah, I'm from south Louisiana, Boudin is us. You could maybe find it in the parts of Mississippi, Texas, or Arkansas that touch us. But everything she listed (save honey bun which are all over the US) are super common down here.
the little parts where you splice in futurama, or video games - is absolute perfection!!! I love you.
Thank you! You are fun to watch!
Mrs Eats, forget about honey buns. If you are ever in a mall or airport and you see a Cinnabon, go get yourself one. No honey bun could ever compare. Cinnabon is one of those things you feel like you've been missing your whole life the first time you taste it.
So you disagree with Louis CK's take on Cinnabon?
cinnamon rolls are better
👌
@@ikana1de371 I've never tried a Cinnabon, but anyway I'm going to agree that cinnamon rolls are better because there is no way any other bun or cake could be better than cinnamon rolls. AND they have a chou-kawaii Sanrio character named after them ♥.
Cinnabon is the ultimate. Honey buns just can’t come close to a Cinnabon.
If you're ever in the American South East, give shrimp and grits a try. Really good stuff, can be a bit spicy.
Great. As an American, I now NEED to try grits with caramel sauce instead of cheese and chili with pickle juice. Thank you for some interesting ideas!
I am enjoying your channel so educational and fun!
Fish Sperm Sack, triggered my gag reflex. Hahah I can’t eat fish anyway so I don’t have to worry. XD
Yes, you have same reaction as Mr Eats! Even though he said it's good, he still scared to try it again!
Same
But it's creamy! Don't you like cream? ;)
@@kgsz **GAG** UUUGGGGHHH!
It's weird: Eating poultry and fish eggs? Makes sense. Eating fish sperm? What the fuck are you doing.
BTW: There's is a regional American dish called Mountain Oysters, which is bull testicles. So some Americans might be up for some fish sperm sack.
The honeybuns are just a mass produced, heavy on preservatives snack item. You got the brand that is actually considered better, or more fresh, but the actual one from the music video is available at most gas station convenience stores.
Specifically from the packaging that is the Little Debbie honey bun that is found in vending machines
I like honey buns but crispy creme honey bun just taste like a donut. I don't think Mrs Eats would like honey buns but the flavor is completely different
When I saw the Krispy Cream packaging I said “ oh 😯. The honey bun may have a chance at not being nasty 🤣”
I never got into honeybuns but the "Little Debbie" ones sell like crazy. A lot of people heat their honey buns in the microwave first.
Loved the zoidberg. You guys are great
I have no clue why but you were under my recommended vids for Mr.Lboyd reacts that being said you are very energetic and fun to watch
At the mention of Shirako being creamy, I had to pause and recover, and on my way to the pause button, I heard "it pops!" I'm not sure I'm ready for that one
I’ve lived in the USA since I was 10….and I have never heard of Boudin before.
I guess that goes to show how massive the country is and how localized many foods are! But it looks really good and I want to try some now!😋
It’s something you typically find at crawfish boils.
@@allhailhailey9743 well it sounds simply delicious! 😋
Some grocery stores carry it now, but its definitely more a southern thing, and predominantly Louisiana. Its cajun. I never heard of it till I was almost 30 or so.
i’ve been in the U.S. my entire life and i am 33. i am pretty sure i will continue discovering American foods i have never heard of for the rest of my life. Boudin was also news to me.
@@ryan-el9er that’s what is so great here!!
It’s impossible for most countries to understand the sheer SIZE of the USA and how many cultures and treasures are hidden within it!😁❤️
honey bun mission... love you.. subscribed!! 😂 as a canadian these things blew my mind was too when moving to us for the first time
I like your video so much, it’s very interesting!!!
I always love that people that come to America think we eat the same stuff everywhere.
I mean I've tried to have as many of our regions foods as possible but it's hard for Americans to try out all the different types of regional American foods.
I travel around the US quite a bit. Wherever I go, I try to find the local specialities and try them.
Let alone the fact that many regions have multiple distinct cuisines owing to the various distinct migrant communities that formed those places. Like the German-Jewish and Italian heritages in NYC, or the Mexican and Italian in San Francisco, or the Korean, Japanese, and Nordic in Seattle, or the French and Caribbean in Louisiana, where Caribbean itself is a mix of Indian (as in India), African, and a number of others...
@@16randomcharacters So very true! I was born in L.A. California. Ventura California Breakfasts: Sunday Dim Sum with steamed Chicken feet!; Monday doughnuts(Spudnuts!); Tuesday bacon, eggs & toast; Wednesday grits (and why not?); Thursday: cold pizza from Wednesday; Friday: biscuits with sausage gravy; and on Saturday a big, hot bowl of menudo topped with fresh onions and cilantro. Almost supper time now!
These seem to be mostly foods that you would find in southern America. Glad you mostly enjoyed them. Next time probably want to find a honey bun at a doughnut shop rather than a gas station.
i'm guessing you're thinking of the south of the united states...
@@stefanforrer2573 well yea lol
@@stefanforrer2573 That is correct. For countries like Chile or Peru I would have stated it as South American countries. No disrespect intended 😁
I’m from New York, so most of these foods I have never heard of, so I also thought “south”.
@@IsaPodrasky boudin also comes with crawfish too
I’m from the uk so hearing about this stuff is super interesting, we all eat in such different ways I love learning about it!
American food really depends on where you go. From this list it seems you may have been in the south east. As you go more north there will be more seafood and west more meats like beef. I am not sure but I hear that pickle juice is healthy to drink from time to time.
Grits are definitely a more southern US food, but available at most every diner. Catfish is best fried, or only very fresh as a filet or poached. Look up catfish noodling for some really strange/interesting fishing techniques!
I'm not going to agree about grits being more a southern food. I am a born and bred Yankee and have eaten grits all my life. Same with almost everyone I know. In my city, just about every place that serves breakfast also serves grits. This includes little corner bodegas.
The honeybun story got me cracking, and I love the little animations added now and then.
Mr. Seats always makes great videos
There is a reason for pickle juice! It sounds like you were in the southern part of the United States by the foods you mentioned. It gets very hot for most of the year in the south. When it is hot you need extra salt in your diet to stay healthy. Pickle juice is very salty. It is the same idea as drinking a sports drink like Gatoraid or Poweraid. It is away to replace the vial salts that you are sweating out. That is also why they also suggest to freeze it--to help stay cool in the heat!
It's also good for people who suffer cramps... So I'm told.
@@arnoldcaines9012 Yup! If the cramps are from dehydration and heat stress.
Gatorade* , Powerade*
Also: There's more than just salts and electrolytes in there. The cucumbers and herbs and even the vinegar itself offers a variety of vitamins and minerals that can get flushed out when sweating. :D
You can keep away a lot of brain diseases with pickles. Some enzyme is really healthy for your brain tissue and can help keep away dementia if you eat one pickle a day
If you like grits, you should try Cream of Wheat! It's like grits made from wheat. They go even better with sweet toppings than grits do.
And then mix it with chocolate! Cocoa wheats!! Decorated with sprinkles!
Cream corn is great. To put chocolate in it would just make you throw up. :(
@@curfuffle7420 Nobody said a damn thing about creamed corn...
@@ofadetergentsud lol i knew that would get someone.
Grits goes good with eggs over easy
I love drinking the pickle juice from the jar after finishing off the pickles haha
Picked jalapeno juice is great for recipes too! Great video!
Im from the south , and ive been trying to explain Boudin to some of my west coast and north east coast friends on twitter, and they are blown away to know such a thing exists! lol American food is very diverse regionally , but im glad to see you enjoying so many southern staples :D !
just tell them it's french for blood sausage.
I'm a Minnesotan and knew of Boudin, but never want to try it. Same for Blood Sausage or Black Pudding as well as other blood based dishes.
Boudin is amazing.
@@morrigankasa570 You can get boudin without blood in it, it's actually really good! Blood boudin is only a specific type of boudin. Regular boudin imo is much better and as far as I know is more popular in Louisiana than blood boudin, at least in my neck of the woods in this state. 🙂
Boudin does have a blood variation but not all of them are made with blood
I personally love putting a soft fried egg on top of my grits. So addicting.
YES!! Best way to eat grits! I always put egg (runny yolk), hot sauce, salt and pepper. 😋
I personally love putting a soft fried egg on darn near anything.
Boudin is one of my favourite Southern USA foods. I had no idea what to expect the first time I ordered it, and I was not disappointed. Most Cajun dishes are packed with flavour and delicious.
Love your enthusiasm! A really good bakery would be best for something like honeybuns. Gas stations are only ok if we are in a hurry...and we usually regret it later...LOL
Pickle Juice... I now live in Ukraine and we make our own pickles, something I never did in California! Pickle juice is full of electrolytes and is used on hot days. My wife drinks the juice, I do not. HOWEVER as you go to a party and drink large amounts of vodka you will notice many people drink a shot of vodka and then eat a pickle, I am here to tell ya, NO HANGOVER ever when you do this. Electrolytes are replaced immediately, so yeah, strange but really is ok.
It's also a great post work out drink and it helps with muscle cramps
Try some Polish pickle dip. Just sour cream, pickle juice and some chopped up pickles. Dip it with chips or pita and omg delicious!!!!
1. Grits
Sounds like you got some really good grits! That's one thing a lot of places do so, so wrong and it turns into a watery flavorless sludge.
2. Catfish
The best fish
3. Honey bun
They're just so sweet and greasy, but they've stuck around for a reason
4. Boudin
Not common in my region, but it sounds good!
5. Pickle juice
It's also a good quick remedy for muscle cramps!
I LOVE Grits! I like them savory and sweet. Some times I divide them and will eat half sweet, then eat half savory.
I just found your channel. You're mannerisms are so charmingly endearing. It's so fun to watch and listen to you discuss things you're obviously passionate about. ^_^ You also have a DELIGHTFUL sense of humour!
I'm a little surprised that Japanese folks find any kind of fish off-putting. Y'all are kinda famous for seafood across the board.
@@otakuparadise3585 I went to Japan before all the covid stuff on vacation and chicken seemed super popular. Any convince store, fast food restaurant, shops in markets, or places in malls or what have you, was selling chicken.
Including raw Seaford which grosses me out
@@lindaeasley5606 Just as gross as a french kiss!
I didn't say they don't eat anything else in Japan, just that their cuisine is famous worldwide for seafood. Anybody not get that?
@@lindaeasley5606 Raw seafood is eaten all over the world by countries connected to the ocean (Italy: carpaccio, Peru: ceviche, America: oysters on the halfshell) and even terrestrial animals (France: beef tartare). I live in Japan and you know what grosses a lot of Japanese people out? Eating fruits like apples and peaches with the skin still on it. Because to them that's the part that makes contact with the dirt and pesticides. It's all a matter of perspective.
Three words: Chicken Fried Steak
You owe it to yourself to try it.
Agreed! It is very yummy! The combinations of textures and flavors of country fried steak are soooo good!
don't forget the gravy!
@@Keeperoffyre Does anyone forget?
@@StCerberusEngel you'd be surprised. or, they bring out some weird brown or tan gravy stuff from a can. i'm sorry, but ya'll should've used the drippings in the skillet from this steak or from the sausage ya'll fixed for breakfast this morning to make the damn gravy!
@@Keeperoffyre Well, that's just heresy.
The Friday Fish Fry... catfish is often the first choice and spaghetti and cole slaw on the side.
I grew up in West Texas
My parents are from Northern New Mexico. So I grew eating New Mexico food, Mexican food, BBQ, Tex-Mex, Southern food, Sea food, and everything else. I'll try anything. I love a Lots of Asian food. Was planning to go to Japan, but Coronavirus put a hold on that. Maybe sometime soon.
Don't forget chicken fried steak.
@@billsanders5067 love it.
I love that most of these are Southern; it warms my Alabama heart. I'm so glad you love grits! They can be really good with cheese, too. I love okayu which kind of reminds me of grits. My fiancé introduced me to boudin recently and I loved it.
How does shirako compare to roe? Most of my favorite sushi has roe in it and I love that pop of saltwater when you eat it.
If you like the POPing, I think you can enjoy Shirako too! I’d say ikura salmon row is a little harder than Shirako!
Grits are they best! If I don't feel grits, I fry up hominy with butter directly.
Calling it now Sothern/Alabama and Asian just mix well.
Poor thing if she ever tries Louisiana food, she would be breathing fire.
Cheese grits and Shrimp grits are fantastic. I also like collard greens (with lots of bacon or ham). The Army introduced me to some traditionally Southern dishes that I enjoy when I can find them. I'm looking at retiring to the South (Oregon has lost it's collective mind) so it's probably a good thing I already like a lot of the food.
My family come from South Carolina and I was raised on a lot of soul food. Sunday breakfast consisted of eggs, toast, grits, buttered biscuits, bacon and sometimes pancakes. I still miss it today! Other favourites I miss are corn bread, okra and lima beans. But top of my list are grandma's fig preserves. Sadly I'll never taste those again because she took her secret recipe with her to heaven. I miss you, Grandma!
Edit: Grandpa took us kids fishing now and then. I don't recall making any spectacular catches myself, but frying up the fish for supper afterwards was wonderful!
FROGMORE STEEEW
Fig preserves are my favorite!
@@floridasingularity3700 😋😘👍
Now I’ve gotta make a trip to my grandmas house.
Catfish usually thrives in muddy waters so their taste can be a bit "earthy" but very mildly. In fact, the flavor itself isn't very strong, like a tilapia.
On Honey buns...that stuff is only good fresh. You are better off looking for honey-glazed doughnuts which is the fresh variant of honey buns.
Boudin is the french term for Blood Sausage.
Pickle juice is usually a Dill brine or vinegar used for pickling cucumbers. Very acidic and powerful. Great for masking the taste of Vodka ;)
I live in the US and just learned about Boudin thanks to this video.. Thank you! Can't wait to visit Japan again this November!
"Catfish is scary"
But risks death trying to cook and eat Blowfish
Boudin and grits, you were in Louisiana or one of the neighboring states. Boudin is quite regional.
Never heard of Boudin... [From NW.] Definitely gotta' be a regional thing.
@@MGmirkin what is NW?
@@MGmirkin it’s a rice sausage … mmm yeah I guess my parents are from Louisiana and I grew up in Texas and we have it…. Anywhere you can find French influence they’ll probably have boudin… because I know they have in Canada too
@@MGmirkin also you can put more than just pork in boudin … beef, chicken,shrimp,crawfish you can get it regular, mild, spicy… if you trying to impress Cajuns and creoles you get spicy 🔥☺️

I would love to see Japanese reaction to more southern American cooking like grits or biscuits and gravy
soondae is THE BEST...OMG. so glad i live in an area with a huge korean community.
boudin, pickle 'juice', grits, catfish, etc. are highly regional in the US too. they're not 'typical american foods' by any stretch.
the only reason i know about them (and grew up with some) are because i was raised by southerners. i still think people only drink pickling liquid -- it's brine. like, seriously -- because they think it's healthy.
The pickle juice drinking isn't really common. I do however eat a lot of like pickles, olives, sauerkraut, etc. Buddy of mines ex wife would drink it and I still remember that immediately about her. That's before even last name it was so strange to see another adult actually doing
Its definitely common. I know its more popular in hotter areas like las vegas or texas because of sweating
I just use pickle juice in my bloody maries and caesars, but you won't catch me dead drinking straight pickle juice unless its a pickle-back shot, I do also use a little bit of pickled pepper juice when I do a pepper garlic shrimp pasta and when I make tartar sauce but I rarely use the actual juice for a lot of things as it takes up room in my fridge and sometimes its best to just make new pickles or simply buy them.
My mother used to just put cucumbers in the pickle juice to remake pickles, but that's incredibly dangerous as each time the cucumber takes some of the acid with it, and the water inside the cucumber dilutes the solution, lowering the pH, leaving you at risk for harmful bacteria.
The pickles themselves are much better than the juice
I enjoy pickle juice, pickles, pickled things, sauerkraut, etc
... I wouldn't say drinking pickle juice is common where I live but me an my older brother would drink it and my family who's from southern areas.
Man! Mr. Eats has been workin' out! Mrs. Eats has such a man of a husband! :D
Mrs. Eats editing is hilarious. I also love her and her husband's relationship, it's very wholesome!
I love voice and she speaks English beautifully. Great video 👏🏼
Love the video and overall feel.
I feel so bad for Mr Eats, this is why I always ask what the food is before eating. I pray the nightmares of eating fish sperm sac stop soon @MREats
Oh also don't give up Mrs Eats! Not all honeybuns are made the same! Sounds like you got a bad brand :(
Mr Eats eat anything without asking! He is adventurous eater, but maybe fish sperm sack made him coward eater now!
Yes, I will try to find good honey bun brand next time I go to America! Maybe they sell in the shoe shop!
@@MrsEats lol the shoe shop, this is a partial reason why people love you guys!
And ya after that I'd be cautious eater now too lol
@@MrsEats The best one I had was the Little Debbie brand Honey Buns. They are a lot like a glazed donut, but a bit more sticky and gooey.
@@MrsEats lol. Maybe he'll get revenge next time and have you try menudo, a mexican dish. Or maybe it won't be that scary for you. It's made with tripe (intestines) and that fact and the soft texture will gross some people out, but it's very tasty.
I’m one of the Americans who has never heard of boudin 🙋🏼♀️ also, I love pickles but cannot imagine drinking pickle juice 😵💫
American Boudin originates from Louisiana, it's available in two forms a sausage form and a fried ball almost like a hush puppy call the boudin bite. The commonly available at gas stations and small independent truck stops. Or if you want to try some you can actually order them online from Don's specialty meats.
As an American who has had it before, I can attest to it being awesome. ( Especially the fried version).
Mm, that used to be a forbidden treat when I was a kid, to sip some of the pickle juice from the jar of pickles. I had to be careful not to let the level get too low.
I'm so glad you got to try boudin. It's one of my favorite foods. 🥰
I didn't know honey bun was a generic thing I thought it was a brand name.
For those that haven't had one they're pretty much a donut but slightly different they may look like a cinnamon roll but they're way more like a donut. Donuts are usually more fluffy but honey buns as the name implies have a honey glaze on them. It's the same consistency as the sticky stuff you see on some donuts the ones that aren't powdered and don't have frosting.
Little Debbie
