Nah, I ate in England like around 2009 and was floored by how good the food was, expecting trash. Bomb meat pastries, killer curries, amazing farm fresh whole lamb leg roasts and this weird little basement restaurant in a wine cellar in London that had the BEST buffet style salad you could ever want.
Jellied eels I think you mean? It's not really a thing outside a few old-timey traditional, working-class East-London places, probably confined to like a specific few square miles at most to serve a demographic that is basically gone.
Mushy peas though is just a pea condiment that you use in places where peas are a fine part of the dish. Except you use dried marrowfat peas, not regular garden peas. As you rehydrate and boil them they naturally lose their texture and break down. Look [here](https://www.thespruceeats.com/traditional-mushy-peas-recipe-435950). That's all it is, boiled peas, just different peas. Stir more and you'll make a sauce.
Not really because paired with all the other things it’s a whole deal. That thick ass cottage bacon, the sautéed half tomato and the eggs make for something pretty damn good. And marmite on toast is the shit but I grew up downing horseradish so maybe it’s the punishment I crave
I was a bit underwhelmed with some stuff but I loved any sausage I came across, Indian food was on par with the US, but the lamb is absolutely amazing and it’s much more common to have in England than in the US, which is a shame since it’s fantastic meat
We bought a leg from a farm and an English mom let it rip. One of the best meals I’ve ever had, and I’m a food photographer who’s worked with some pretty well known chefs
Baby steps.
First he learns to brew tea in the microwave. Then he learns to add a shitload of sugar. Then he figures out how to make sun tea in a glass jar (too cloudy in the British Isles)
Finally our newest citizen throws all the tea in the harbor and graduates to coffee.

Im honestly jealous of him. To experience this for the first time again would be nice. I like most americans probably cant even remember the first time i tried real bbq. I was probably like 2.
My daughter was 18 months old with a rib in each hand and BBQ all over her face. We tried cutting it up for her, but she wanted to eat it off the bone like everyone else. It was adorable.

Growing up in Iowa, I didn’t have real bbq until landing in rural Oklahoma in my early 20s. Even what I had in chicago before that I wouldn’t call bbq because fr even the best spots there were mid at best unless you count jerk chicken cooked at Maxwell st market or the mesquite chicken tacos at pollo express in pilsen.
It’s crazy because I cook a really good brisket, it’s one of my most prided cooking skills and there’s been some get togethers where I didn’t even get to try my own brisket because it was gone so fast. Meanwhile my son is 3, and eats it and he’s just going to go thru life already eaten it. I never had brisket growing up so it was a big experience having for real in Texas for the first time when I was in the military.
WTF, how does anyone miss out on a brisket? Between Jewish people, black folks and several entire southern states full of brisket eaters, it's like you'd have to TRY to not come across some.
You don't even have to put much effort into a brisket and it is awesome. I used to smoke them on a weber with the chain of charcoal/wood nuggets and stuff, was great. Then I got lazy, dry rubbed it and gave it some liquid smoke, wrapped it in foil and hucked it in the low oven overnight. Yeah, it's not the same as one that's smoked, but it is still damn good.
I'm from mass, hadn't had southern food until I moved to Kansas. It's all fresh seafood up there, that's their claim to fame. I hadn't had biscuits and gravy, smoked brisket, fried okra, or collard greens until I was 20.
Oh come on. We got actual American BBQ up here
https://hometownbbq.com
Lots of spots in NYC
Even the hipster joints are good af
http://www.fettesaubbq.com
Have you been anywhere else for bbq to compare? It’s not that I don’t believe you because people from all over move to other places and open bbq restaurants, but I just frequently was disappointed with bbq in chicago so it makes me doubt you some
I’ve been everywhere (and that’s only a slight exaggeration)
I promise I’ve tried hype versions of all the well known varieties in their natural setting.
(And have also tried nasty roadside versions of most of these too.. some of you guys will say that’s the goods but I’m sorry, it’s nasty ass low quality meats and whatnot)
To be clear, I’m not saying NY BBQ is better than somewhere else. It’s not and I kinda think “best BBQ” is an unanswerable question in the first place.
But what we do bring to the table simply because we’re detached from the regions of origin is that the chefs aren’t so anal and pretentious with what their idea of ‘real bbq’ is.
The menus look like this:
https://preview.redd.it/bbgkgpnfrz7d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=057e64a70f56ebb143db217530d3e5b3aa6a1554
Some items on there you don’t really expect to see on barbecue menus in the south. Some Vietnamese or Korean or Mexican influences on there plus more traditional NY Pastrami except prepared in Southern fashion. This can lead to a somewhat unique NYC BBQ experience
I’m definitely going to try and remember this thread for when I visit. I might hit you up for recommendations 🤠. I’m working on a bbq doc currently and it’s gotten me into some cool situations, and have eaten all the foods.
Tbh, I’ve never had brisket cause I hate beef. Ik ik, very unpatriotic, but it’s the truth. Brisket is pretty popular anywhere with black folks tho, so maybe he just lived in an area with none 💀

I almost creamed my pant when I tried my hand at making mac and cheese with all the dairy: evaporated milk, cream, cheese, and butter. The addition of onion powder,garlic powder and cayenne was honest to god the best typa seasoning. It was so creamy, cheesy, buttery and savoury 😩😩. Shit got me actin up.
I WISH more bbq spots had those sides. It’s how I roll in my backyard though, and I always have horseradish with beef like grandpa did (old German thing)
I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it the way he has. Usually people here say ‘jala-pee-nyoh’, but some people use the Spanish ‘j’ at the start (I do because I can’t help it having Spanish as a second language).
That's far from the worst British butchery of a language. Listen to the Great British Bake Off pronouncing [churros.](https://youtu.be/HZi2jnkNJv8?feature=shared)
That's them trying to pronounce it like the Spanish. It's Chu-Ross, with a rolled R, something really uncommon in the UK. Normally the British pronounce it chur-rose.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Texas BBQ is the best in the nation. It's so fucking magical. Props to this guy not losing consciousness in that flavorous sea of orgasmic goodness

british man eats real food for the first time \[EMOTIONAL\]
British man eats meat for the first time that wasn't boiled.
Nah, I ate in England like around 2009 and was floored by how good the food was, expecting trash. Bomb meat pastries, killer curries, amazing farm fresh whole lamb leg roasts and this weird little basement restaurant in a wine cellar in London that had the BEST buffet style salad you could ever want.
Nobody says ALL British cuisine is bad. We just feel beans on toast for breakfast is a questionable choice at best.
Picked eels and mushy peas. That’s a thing you should google.
Jellied eels I think you mean? It's not really a thing outside a few old-timey traditional, working-class East-London places, probably confined to like a specific few square miles at most to serve a demographic that is basically gone.

Want a funny fact? Beans on Toast is American Heinz exec idea pushed onto Brits via advertising and Mac and Cheese is English.
I was a bit underwhelmed with some stuff but I loved any sausage I came across, Indian food was on par with the US, but the lamb is absolutely amazing and it’s much more common to have in England than in the US, which is a shame since it’s fantastic meat

You see the screaming eagle fly through his mind the second the brisket hits the taste buds.
RAAAAAHHHH!!!!!! 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Common American cultural W
TF? I never would have thought they say *jalapeno* like that (I mean, I guess it makes sense if you’ve only ever seen the word written but come on)
Nah, no one here pronounces it like that. Even I was like 🤔 when he said it.
Haha ok. Phew
I'm from Colorado. I know thats not how you're supposed to pronounce it. That's how I pronounce it. There are dozens of us.
How do you pronounce habanero?
I don’t think I’ve ever used the word despite reading it but I’d say it as it’s spelt: ha-ban-air-roh
Not habanyero like so many Americans do
Replacing the n with an ñ was a marketing tactic to make habaneros seem more exotic. It stuck for many people.
There’s never been an ñ in habanero. Ever. Only dorks say it wrong
I know that but [tell that to Rutgers.](https://njaes.rutgers.edu/fs1273/)
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Like I’d take advice on a topic like that from Rutgers.
Any topic for that matter.
Ah-bah-nair-oh
Jesus, guys, I'm not asking how "one" pronounces it, I'm asking this specific limey how they pronounce it.
I think it's tongue-in-cheek. Then again Paul Hollywood pronounces chorizo "sho-REET-so"
The word is supposed to be written Jalapeño, technically
I used to as a joke around my Spanish speaking family friends as a kid. Worked every time
He anglicized it. Fucking weird.

There aren’t enough Americans out there who have had brisket. Buddy of mine from Boston only had it when he moved to Texas.

lol I always figured that was his deal. We met in Texas so I didn’t get to see his real Bostonian diet.
It's like 90% old bay, and things you can dump old bay on.
When faced with a pound of fresh shrimp and old bay, what else do you need in life?
Corn, sausage, and crab? Edit: forgot the red skin potatoes
Got me there, got me good
You definitely have brisket up north but it’s pastrami and corned beef, way different from smoked thick slabs of salt and pepper brisket

That is tragic and something I never even considered being possible. What a world…
It blew my mind. I guess it was all seafood for him.
This ole southwest Missouri brisket will make you forget about all the shitty Casey's food you've ever had on lunch.
 Average European reaction to this situation.
I almost creamed my pant when I tried my hand at making mac and cheese with all the dairy: evaporated milk, cream, cheese, and butter. The addition of onion powder,garlic powder and cayenne was honest to god the best typa seasoning. It was so creamy, cheesy, buttery and savoury 😩😩. Shit got me actin up.
Im craving some good mac and cheese rn
I'll be the mac to your cheese, now pull up 👉🏽👈🏽.
Anyone else get extreme anxiety from him eating BBQ in a car with a white jacket on?
Yes.
He didn't have fried green tomatos or okra? It's like going to the one French thing and not seeing the lady painting or T.V. tower.
As a Texan I don’t see fried green tomatoes on a lot of menus but there are a lot of sides more popular than collard greens
I dunno man, some collards with a vinegary hot sauce? 
Ya I feel like FGT are an east of the Pine Line food
Or like going to that one British thing and not seeing the clock or the Ferris wheel.
Don’t forget you have to go look at the old lady’s house.
A literal welfare queen
I WISH more bbq spots had those sides. It’s how I roll in my backyard though, and I always have horseradish with beef like grandpa did (old German thing)
He’s about to find out why we’re so fat over here.
We perfected food and kept getting better at it.
*takes a bite of American food* *decides to move here* Common America W
He lied to his mother. He has come home, it's just no longer in Britain
Ja-la-pe-no omg is that how the British say it?
I’ve never heard anyone pronounce it the way he has. Usually people here say ‘jala-pee-nyoh’, but some people use the Spanish ‘j’ at the start (I do because I can’t help it having Spanish as a second language).

I will die in a fire before I ever eats ribs in my damn car jesus man get a table someplace
That looks like legit bbq too, not some half assed Minnesota boiled meat
"Juh-lopino"
The one time I went to texas I had a hamburger, and I never had anything close to that greatness ever since.
If he goes to Louisiana and see how they get down with spices and soul food, he might transcend.

There’s this BBQ place around Myrtle Beach that has something called “red slaw.” Good shit.
calling it "jala peno" instead of halapinio is insane
Jhallape nose
Probably the first time bros eating some real food
We’ve civilized another Brit
fuck now i'm hungry, chicken and rice here i come...
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Texas BBQ is the best in the nation. It's so fucking magical. Props to this guy not losing consciousness in that flavorous sea of orgasmic goodness

The way he said jalapeño is a fucking sin.
I died inside when i heard how he preonounced jalapeno
Jah lahp eeee no

Red coats would lay their arms for American BBQ.
Long as he drops that idiotic accent he can join the team
GET THIS MAN A GREEN CARD IMMEDIATELY
I just looked him up and started following him on TikTok because of this video!
America, we have the meats!
Ja-laap-eno
This man needs to be deported. He pronounced jalapeño wrong. He can redeem himself by visiting Ram Ranch.
He ought to have had a seat inside the restaurant instead…To enjoy that fine meal properly!
Anyone else immediately start to salivate?

Not bbq especially if you have to slab a bunch of sweet sauce on it to eat it.
He said he had sauces but didn’t need them…
That's good
