Brits Try TERRY BLACKS BBQ For The First Time In Texas! 

Unfortunately we cannot buy a smoker, we live in an 2 bed apartment 😅 one day when we have a house, we will definitely be investing in one. For now, we’ll just remember the taste of Terry Black’s 😂🥰

So this trip y'all found out you aren't picky eaters. Y'all just ain't had good cookin. 😂

It's such a shame. Britain conquered half the world over spices then refused to use any of them.

"I thought paprika was quite spicy. " is the most British sentence ever.

Why does it make me so happy to watch perfect strangers eat Texas BBQ ?

Now you understand why taking leftovers home ("doggie bag") has been mostly an American thing. 😊

Most American thing ever is to eat amazing food off of disposable plates and plastic cutlery.

I have to say it - this is what happens when you put the spices ON the food. Britain took over half the world looking for spices then proceeds to eat beans on toast for the next 400 years 😂

I’ve never been more thrilled for strangers on vacation. 😂

“I need that back, I need that in my life” …made me smile. We get it👍🏻

The primal body language that took over her demeanor when she wanted another bite of the pork rib 😭

As an American it’s nice to be reminded of how good we have it. The diversity of our country only adds to the appeal and it shows in our foods.

Well how about that? Our British cousin's finally came for a visit ❤ I hope everyone is being kind and helpful.

You only eat this way when you're ready to undo the top button of your jeans, have the meat sweats, and go into a food coma. 😂

I mean this in a silly funny way but Millie turned savage over that pork rib lol

"You're gonna need to hand that back"×2 "I need that in my life" Millie is cracking me up!

Im fasting for 24 hours and I have to say this is the WRONG video to watch.😂😂😂

Watching Millie’s brain break by the stunned look on her face and then her smile like a little kid because she couldn’t understand how good the food is , that made me laugh. Glad you guys enjoyed your visit.

Barbecue is pretty much the reason why people throughout Texas and the South are bigger than most people. It's just SOOOO good.

My parents had a vacation home in a town between Austin and San Antonio. My dad built a huge BBQ pit from bricks and metal he welded. Growing up, he would sit in his lawn chair near the pit all day with his glass of wine or cigar while the brisket slow cooked, ribs, sausage, baked potatoes. My mom would make homemade baked beans, homemade bread, homemade potato salad, homemade coleslaw, corn on the cobb and homemade BBQ sauce. Of course onions, tomatoes and dill pickle slices. For dessert, homemade peach cobbler with homemade vanilla ice cream or the famous Texas ice cream Blue Bell. Also banana pudding. The next day we make sandwiches with the leftover meat. For Thanksgiving, he would smoke turkeys on the pit. His friends would request him to also smoke their turkeys. The pit was so large, 10 20 pound turkeys fit on it all at once. They had pecan trees and made pecan pie from them. In the summer we would float down the river sitting in inner tubes. Nothing like those hot lazy summer days eating vanilla ice cream, cream cheese ice cream or ice cream made from fresh peaches or strawberries. Eating vanilla ice cream on cobbler or pie in common in Texas.

Don't be discouraged about your own BBQ, be challenged to up your game. Even if you don't have giant smokers, there's a ton you can do with your own BBQ setup at home. These guys were all like you once upon a time, they just invested the last ~70 years into making it perfectly. It's like making a good Turkey. You don't just start making amazing Turkey, you work at it, and the recipe and your execution of the recipe improve over time.

I said this before, but now you 2 are part of the RU-vid lore that actually made it to Terry Black's! From salivating over other RU-vidrs getting to travel and eat there and saying "We want to do this" to actually DOING it! That's the dream.

OK, had to pause at 9:16. "Is that good?" "Get your own." PERFECT in every way to describe what's up. Well done. 😁🥰

You are both now officially, US citizens. Congratulations.

the way y'all keep saying Terry's Black is killing me 🤣😂🤣

Watching Millie enjoy that rib was great, her almost assaulting James to get it back was priceless. If they found anything they didn't like at terry Black's, i would have been shocked.

Milli you are Hilarious. You had the most genuine response to sharing the Pork Rib. Im gonna need for you to give that back 😂😂😂😂. I lost it , I laughed so hard. You could tell she was serious

" You're gonna need to hand that back.. You need to hand that back...I need that in my life...." LOLOL. You know you got good BBQ when you hear a person saying that.

Loved watching Millie’s eyes light up after she takes a bite (of the sausage, the ribs, the brisket) and looks over like… “You are NOT going to believe this.” 😂😂😂

The video that the internets been waiting for!

I sincerely hope our patronage paid for a good portion of your trip because you both ABSOLUTELY deserve it ❤

A riddle for British guys -- “why were there so many British explorers?” Answer - “they were all searching for a good meal”. Haha.

I’ve never seen Millie this happy!

I never thought how we Americans take things like this for granted like slow cooking BBQ/food and actually seasoning it compared to the UK😂.

As a native Texan, it makes me incredibly proud that out of all the places you could go, you chose one of the most authentically Texan dining experiences you can have. Places like Terry Blacks are EVERYWHERE. The only place I'd rank over Texas (that I've experienced) is Louisiana. Their food is on a whole other level with the seafood and French and Caribbean influences. They're untouchable

I love your mum with the cowboy hat! She blends right in! And your son is growing so fast! 🥰❤❤❤

"That is the softest meat I've ever had in my life" Millie - *chuckles*

The guy in blue shirt shirt and hat behind you guys was entertained by you two..he liked your reactions and accents 😂❤

I so enjoyed watching Millie be so excited about what she was tasting. She looked so amazed by everything except the pickles. Lol

Mr. And Mrs. H just bought a killer smoker. That’s gonna be your best bet. Maybe the Jolly boys next. Welcome to Texas. 🙌🏼 watching Brits try Texas BBQ is such a reminder to not take it for granted.

Lol, Millie said get your own!

James! Your Mum looks proper gorgeous in her cowgirl hat! WOW! Like a proper Texan (if she doesn't talk😉🤭)!🥰😍🤠

We are spoiled with our BBQ here in Texas. I never get tired of it.

I LIVE IN TEXAS AND I HAVE TO SAY WE DO HAVE SOME OF THE BEST BRISKET AND BARBECUE IN THE WORLD

Isn't it way cool when your expectations are not only met, but surpassed!👍

The green beans are probably steamed, then quickly tossed in a frying pan with hot bacon grease. That's why they're so good!

I just love it when our English friends come and indulge in some great BBQ!!!!!

White bread, onions, pickles, and loose peppers are meant to be nibbled on while you’re eating your meal. The bread is a palate cleanser and the other things introduce brightness into the meal.

What’s so cool is after watching all of your reaction videos to BBQ and finally seeing you try it. Pretty damn cool!

your mother is a sweetheart helping you - hope she had a good time too

What the Brits do is considered grilling meat. BBQ you are having is smoking low and slow hours. That is how it is so flavorful and tender.

“I will remember this meal forever.” Wow. Imagine eating food like that and you may never be able to get it again.

Millie is in BBQ heaven...😂 James Mom is rockin in her cowboy hat ❤❤

If your turkey is dried out, it is overcooked. I cook mine upside down so the juices go into the breast.

This makes me proud to be born in Texas. I don't live there now, but I appreciate a good BBQ. I'm so glad you got to try it.

9:17 "Get your own" Okay, so we know what she likes the most out of the meat. She shared the mega rib, the pork rib, but when it came to brisket, BACK OFF 🤣

When you show up at the "H" family home, make sure you're wearing one of their "Here for the Brisket" t-shirts! 🤣🤣❤

Creamed corn is a classic Southern dish. My mother was from southern Alabama and it was a part of every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Her mother was born in southern Alabama in 1903, and she made creamed corn all the time. And when you're in the South, it's not a pee-ken or pee-kan. It's a puh-kahn. I had a friend from Louisiana who would say pee cans are something you keep under your bed. Pecans (puh-kahns) are something you eat. My grandmother had pecan trees all around her house so whenever we went to visit, she'd make a pecan pie from scratch, including the crust. After experiencing that meal, you may understand why the U.S., particularly the Southern U.S., has an obesity problem. 😀

If someone opens a BBQ place in London, serving american bbq, they would make millions.

Mom has the Texas look down perfect, she definitely looks like a local 👍

You eat the onions and pickles with the meat to cut the fatness and break up the smoky flavor and add a crunchy texture. The bread is for if you want to wrap up pieces of meat, but also to absorb the bbq sauce. Wrap/sandwhich the bread, meat, sauce, onions and pickles for the perfect bite (Cole slaw optional). ALL Beans with meat in them is a MUST! Flavor! 😅

I love how she turned to Mum and said Barbeque you need to sort it out. And Mum in the video trying out the Beans and the Ribs holding her Grand baby

Your baby is beyond adorable n your mom a proper Texan dressed in her get up . I'm glad Texas treated you proper loved watching y'all enjoy the food

And so it begins. 🥩🍽 Welcome to Texas, guys. Glad you had a chance to experience Texas barbecue. You should also try Tex-Mex and Chicken-Fried Steak while you're here, to get a well-rounded notion of our taste. Enjoy your stay, and God bless.

Everything Millie hands to James, she wants back as soon as possible and I think she'd smack him if he finishes it off.

This is what Americans call flavor. You know, salt, pepper, seasonings.

This video had me crackin' up! Being a native Texan, I kind of take BBQ like this for granted as I have eaten it and cooked for most of my life. But, to see these Brits dive in and see the looks on their faces and their comments, it made me realize how lucky we are to have this kind of BBQ any time we want it. And, the best Mexican food in the US, too! Texas gives new meaning to the term Foodie.

My fav RU-vid couple at one of my favorite BBQ places in the world. Love this reaction!

Your BBQ is just called grilling here. Our BBQ is both the food and a cooking method different from direct heat at high temperature, short periods of time that you're used to. American barbecue cooks for a very long time over indirect heat (usually hardwood or charcoal) and with the smoke of the wood playing a key role in the flavor of your end product. The long cook at low temperature cause connective tissue, cellular structures and fat to break down. It makes the meat incredibly tender and moist. Banana pudding is usually a vanilla custard with layers of sliced banana, vanilla wafers and whipped cream.

The only banana in banana pudding is fresh banana slices. The pudding is vanilla. I think a lot of people think the pudding is going to have an imitation banana flavor. The best banana pudding recipe is Paula Deen's "not your momma Banana Pudding", it calls for chessman cookies but you can replace them with shortbread.

I think the first time you have REAL Texas BBQ it’s a life changing experience. 🍖

As a Texan, I'm happy to see y'all enjoy the food so much.

I've never seen that reaction to creamed corn before.

You have achieved barbecue Nirvana.

I love the foreign reaction of “why are ours so bad!!!???!??? 🥰

For day-trips/picnics/tubing/etc in Texas... 1 Smoke (or buy) some brisket, then wrap in foil. 2. Get a loaf of Texas Toast (warmed/cooked) and put it in foil. 3. When you're hungry, put the brisket on a slice of Texas Toast (Garlic Bread), then fold it like a sammich... Shiner 1909 or Shiner Bock pair well.

Looks like somebody is going to be investing in their own smoker. What most people don't realize, is the sheer amount of time it takes to make the bbq that tender and flavored. That brisket was probably smoked for 8-12 hours.

Wow Millie looks more happy here, more out going she always looks shy so way to go millie you look great. Now mom is beautiful also I'm 53yrs old and it's hard staying fit and look good but this woman looks amazing.

Millie has the best smirk for this whole video 😂 glad you enjoyed your time over the pond.

This makes me so happy to watch it is literally bringing tears to my eyes for some reason! Maybe bc I am a Texan and so I am proud of our bbq and also I can totally realte to how good it is! there is nothing like our barbeque00it is sublime and Im so happy to see people from all over the world appreciate it so much! Much Love to you from Texas!

Love that you guys know how to eat ribs the way Americans do- with your hands.. Ive seen some Brits at Terry Blacks using a knife and fork

It makes me smile seeing other people experience Texas bbq 😊

Millie: Get your own! 😂😂😂 So happy that you guys enjoyed the food and the trip. C'mon back! We'll leave the porch light on for ya!

It’s always great seeing our sisters and brothers from across the pond loving American style BBQ. There’s nothing like it. I hope you two had a great time ❤❤❤

So glad you guys enjoyed and was not disappointed. Mum you’re looking good too!

Believe it or not, the UK has great AMERICAN BBQ at a place called "Spitfire" in Bristol. The owner was trained in the states.😊

This was priceless, watching you two discover genuine Texas BBQ.

I was waiting for this reaction! We all know how excited you were to get to Terry Blacks. It seems you enjoyed yourselves 😊 Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

For clarity, there are two separate "Black's BBQ" entities in Texas. "Black's BBQ" is the original 1939 chain, formed in the "BBQ Capitol of the World" Lockhart, TX. They have restaurants in various cities across the state. The family split up the business at some point, and that is when "Terry Black's BBQ" was formed. They also have restaurants in various cities. I've only been to "Black's BBQ" in New Braunfels, TX. However, since they are from the same family, I'm assuming that most recipes and the smoking process are pretty much the same thing at either entity.

"Why is ours so bad?" A description of most British food.

I kept waiting for Millie to curl up her nose to something but her eyes lit up instead.....So much fun watching you two try these new foods.

I love that yinz we’re fighting over the meats “GET YOUR OWN”! Me and my bestie do the same when we go out! We are big meat eaters lol

So now you know: BBQ is a food, not an event. Unless we are serving actual BBQ’d something, when we have friends over to eat something cooked on our grill it’s call “cooking out” or “grilling”. We never say “we’re having “a” BBQ”. When we say we’re having BBQ, that means the actual food is BBQ be it ribs, chicken, brisket, etc. I loved watching you enjoy the wonderful food! Glad you had fun!

😂😂😂 Mrs. Beesley has bloodlust in her eyes😂😂😂 Full bore carnivore right there 😂😂😂

The interesting part about Brisket is that if it wasn't smoked and seasoned the way it is, the brisket cut is considered a throw-away meat otherwise, but slow-cooking makes it so incredibly tender and the seasoning is heavenly.

Glad to see you guys trying our state foods. I'm in my mid 50's and I'll never get tired of Texas BBQ!!! It's so gratifying learning to make your own. Spending all day hanging with friends and tending the BBQ Pitt is very rewarding!!!

I grew up in San Antonio and have had Terry Black’s multiple times. I don’t believe it’s possible to overstate how good it is. I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

Your mom looks so nice. She literally fits right in with Texas! 😁

My favorite is whenever she takes a bite and just looks over to him waiting for his reaction.

The double-takes with each new thing basically tell the whole story. 😊
