My oldest daughter went to RIT in upstate New York to college. Keep in mind we're from Arkansas and she had lived her entire life in the south. One morning she called me, and with complete disbelief in her voice said "Daddy, these people up here don't know what sausage gravy and biscuits are!"
😂 I was born and raised in Northern California, but raised by family from Arkansas. I was stationed in upstate New York for a couple years and boy did I miss home cookin and good southern food in general. Still do cause unfortunately I don't live anywhere near them. I make do with my own attempts but it ain't the same.
I'm from NY....born n raised and I didn't know what a grit was until I went to Montgomery Alabama and had some at Waffle House. Yankeeland doesn't know what it's missin with Southern cookin!!
Matt (bald one) is my favorite on the channel, everything He's in is good, skits, shorts, rankings, southern certified, always a good time when He is in the video.
Karen Wichmann : I didn’t start liking gravy and biscuits until we visited my relatives in Kentucky. My oh my, my grandmother made the best southern foods and used only her hands to measure with. My mom couldn’t cook, just bland unseasoned things (that’s why I learned to cook to feed all of us). Sausage gravy is now a favorite of my (converted to the south) husband.
My favorite part? When he sais the summer could be the cure but they've tasted the food and now know why we never leave. If that's not the truth I don't want to know what is!
I could maybe see to visitin', but y'all don't even know what snow rilly *is*. Trouble be that the prime time for the visitatin' is in the winter; but then, I'd surely miss the snow. :) Bless your hearts, but how is it in the early spring? maybe the end of winter?
I didn't either until the Army and then work after. I stayed in Virginia but the Northern Most City. Still get back to good ole Topsail NC but I look and feel like a tourist.
Years ago, my sister and her husband were hosting guests from England. I invited everyone over for breakfast of homemade buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy. They were so apprehensive with the food description, but once they saw and tasted all was good. They were envisioning some sort of cookies with brown gravy! Bless their hearts.
Lol U.S. cookies are called biscuits in England--think of the phrase, "tea & biscuits," literally just tea and cookies. British scones are the equivalent to U.S. biscuits.
@@Rookseven7 Saw a play regarding the history of the Irish. At one point the cast says "but to tell the story of the Irish we also have to talk about the history of the British." And then they go -In the year blah blah the British invaded China, in the year whatever they invaded India, the same with Jamaica. etc. And then they say "Obviously, they were trying to escape their own cooking!" I had some really good Chinese and Indian food when I visited London so they did have a point..
So true, we Southerners know if your food don't have flavor you have officially lost your Southern Card and will not be allowed to cook for anyone that knows better... which includes family, and friends!
@@johnree6106 Yes that is true but with one exception if it is concerning your health and only if you really must cook with no butter and have nothing fried then you definitely must ensure Mrs. Dash and all her herbs along with other any herbs make those dishes good are else you will lose your card!
Do you know the difference between a Yankee and a damned Yankee? A Yankee comes to visit and always goes home. A damned Yankee comes to visit and never freaking leaves.
chrisb3522 : my husband (before I met him here) got orders for here in the south, back in the early 1970s and refused to live up north ever again. He calls the south home. He doesn’t miss the winters, the rude people, nor the very high cost of everything.
Not quite, in my opinion a damned Yankee is one that stays down here but won't stop complaining or talking about how they do (insert thing here) better up north.
GREAT Story: In Baton Rouge, we had a weekly radio call-in show with our governor. A nawthern-er was FURIOUS about our failing schools, crappy roads, corrupt politicians, etc. Said he was taking his family back North! There was a long pause... Then the radio host and the governor said, one right after another: "But...it's COLLLLD up there......!" / "You're gonna miss the fooooooood!!!!" Those were their only answers, as if those were THE right answers!!!
I remember that blizzard. March of 93. I was six and didn't understand what was going on... Had never seen snow before. When everything calmed down, my mom took us outside and we took pictures in the snow. My cousin had us eating it, she told us it was good ice from heaven lol
Yep. March 93. I was about the same age and stuck at my cousin’s house. I remember when my dad finally made it through. He acted like he had conquered Everest. Haha
When my husband got transfered to the north, I cried so hard that he had to drive the entire way. When I drive my vehicle wants to head only one way HOME to the SOUTH!! Goin home soon for good
I love this channel! Ya'll show the world the true South! It don't matter if you're black, white, Asian, Indian, ect. We're all lucky enough to be born in the South or live here longer than 10 years, you're Southern! I thank God I was born here every day! And I welcome anyone who wants to be Southern to come on down! We'll set a plate out for ya'll! 😁 Keep making these videos! They make me happy! 😊 ❤️
Southern Born Southern Bred, And when I die I'll be Southern Dead!In 1966 my S. Mississippi born grandpa was on a guided tour of a Civil War museum in Virginia when the young tour guide asked how he liked the "deep south". He replied: why you little SOB, I drove a thousand miles north to get here. He was not a tactful man, but southern to the marrow. Also made the best hand squeeze d cat head biscuits you ever ate.
Can we get a cure for the Snow Birds that come down for the winter and gripe about how things are "sooooo much better" back up north ... from whence they came running ... to the South ... to hide from the "greatness" of the north?
As the Pacific Northwestern wife of a lifelong Southern man...I know for a fact this is a true and accurate representation of what happens to folks that come in from the outside! I wouldn't dare drink my tea *gasp* unsweetened now and y'all know I'm fixin' to cheer on my Dawgs this Saturday!
I was working a construction job in eastern Tennessee ( probably 30 years ago ) and was sitting in a bar one night listening to a guy from Kentucky and a guy from Maryland arguing about who was not really from the south ( I’m originally from south Mississippi and all I could do was shake my head ).
My southernitis kicked in when I met my wife... Born in New Jersey, came it Ft. Bragg NC... That dang southern bell put it on me, 15 years later I'm still here!
I was born and raised Texan. I loved nearly everything about it save for two things: most of current politics (I lean to independent & dem, Texas had some bad Reps lately ) and the heat. Out of the two the one I can't ignore is the heat as it started to affect my health. After employers having to call ambulance when I had breathing problems at least once every summer for 3 years in a row, and docs saying that its extreme heat that would trigger bronchio-spasms which lead to asthma-like symptoms, I finally decided I had to move to a cooler region. So I've lived in southern Wisconsin for 10 years and only once did I have one of those episodes (wildfires were to blame). Yeah it gets cold, but that's the point. And yeah more than once I wanted to move back down south. But then I remembered the misery of having those bronchio-spasms … and the heat induced migraines
I was born in WVa. Now I live in Ohio, and so look forward to the day we move south. But I have to be near my mom as she is elderly, and like many older people, she is stubborn and won't move now. While I want to be warm in the winter, I hope she has many years alive still.
No, No, No... She's STIIL a damn Yankee in this scene. She has only BEGUN to convert. She hasn't yet reached the " Bless your heart! " phase. ( Forgive me, Talia, I know you were born and raised in Alabama ... The things we must endure for our art...)
"That old English dead dude"! 😆😂🤣Oh my stars and buttons, that's sooooooooooo knee-slapping funny, I reckon! That's as funny as what I call Shakespeare: Old Shakey.
“Y’all done tasted the food so now you know why we don’t leave either” LOL 😂 if that ain’t the truth. Gotta stay close to that gravy and biscuits and fried catfish👌🏻
At 18 I left home in California and started heading east. Somewhere around the Pecos River I caught "southernitis" and have never gotten over it. It's snowing here in Idah.....
"He's positive for manners" That's a fact. For 10 years I was with a chick from Philly. Her, her friends, her family, none of them had manners, let alone table manners. It was like being at the table with a bunch of pigs. And most of them had master's degrees.
You were with the wrong northerners. Here in Minnesota, we look down on people with no manners. You open the door and hold it open for everybody behind you. Period.
I got a bad case of Southernitis when california re-elected Pelosi again. Thirty plus years of her nonsense my immune system was knocked out. Had to return to the South. I do miss good Mexican food though. BTW, love these sketches.
As much as I love the South, there's one thing that bothers me. Being called honey/baby/sweetheart/ darling/sugar by someone who is neither family nor my BFF. I love it here in Virginia, but I have strong boundaries about being touched and terms of endearment. But everything else Southern makes me happy.
@@ineedamirroroferised2844 I agree with you on, "baby" and "darling" I don't care for those. I think the others just sounds so friendly, maybe too friendly for some. To each his own.
He's right about food with flavor, since I moved to Wyoming I cook my own food. If I cook for anyone else then I have to tone it down, people out here don't like food with flavor.
I almost cried when I had to leave New Orleans to go back to New York! It's been 15 years or so and I still get a lil teary eyed thinking about it! Sniff.😥😢
i have a confession, i am a addict, i have ben a addict for the past fifty years, ever since i went to see my grandmother, she got me hooked on the REAL hard stuff, it is something fierce, i still remember the first time she gave it to me, that first bowl of field peas and turnip greens and god help me her hoe cake corn bread , it was that dense kind where a single piece is a meal unto itself , and if you were to drop the that piece on to the floor, it would crack the floor, and lord help me i am still addicted to her fig preserves, i loved them so much i learned how to make jelly and figs. to paraphrase a lewis grizzard album, i am an American by birth and a southerner by the grace of god.
Mayday if you ever run into someone who isn’t kind, they’re not “from ‘round these here parts”. I believe I saw the recent statistics that say only 40% of the people in GA are actually from GA. It’s why so much has changed for the absolute worst in metro Atlanta.
I’m from Chicago and somehow I got a Southern drawl! It skipped a generation! Great aunt 4x got it Grandmother got it none of her kids but I got it so bad my momma don’t always understand me! 2nd exhubby from Louisiana and his entire family completely understand me! Even when I ask for hush puppies and actually do toss ‘em to the dog!
I talk with a drawl for the fun of it. Beautiful accent! Somebody thought I was making fun of him and I said, "No way no how nooooooo, I'm not making fun of you, sir! I loooove the Southern drawl. It's beautiful and if you don't believe me I reckon I'm fixing to cry." That straightened him out and he never again accused me of making fun of him again, thank goodness. Bless his heart, I can't believe he had originally thought I was making fun of him.
I'm going to be honest, I feel like that when I leave from visiting family in Georgia. I don't want to go back, food is too good, winter weather is so much more tolerable, and etc. Lol.
For the love of Petes' sake ! Y'all are going to have to keep preaching to the choir and NOT tell everybody else. Next thing you know everybody'll want to move down here........ Dang! It's already started. See whatcha did ?! Lol. Keep it up guys. Y'all are hilarious ! Bless your hearts.
Current state of Nashville at this moment..lol...My home! There was a billboard in the city, and it said something like "Stop moving here, we're full" 😁
no literally my gram ma came out from cali 20 odd years ago. my mom followed her a few years after. brought my bro and me. then bout 5 years ago my moms bff from girl scouts moved out from cali. and started bragging on facebook and shit out GREAT it is out here how quite and cheap it is. and in the last 7 years the number of city folk has sky rocketed BECAUSE YOU PEOPLE CANT KEEP YO MOUTH SHUT
You finally got some food with flavor There’s no reason to ever leave the south I had an argument with my best friend today he wants to move to New York as an adult bless his heart
He said WORSH! Hahaha I have to love it because that's how I say "wash" but rest of my family (who also lived in Texas) says it as "wash". My neighbors didn't even pronounce is "worsh". I've encountered few who said it the same. A few pronounced it as "wah-sh" a few who would say wash as Wa-shhh" but very few pronounced it as "WOR-shh" This alone gets a thumbs up.
Snow should have been followed with "bread and milk!" for true accuracy. Boy I remember that one time I was snowed in during Blizzard 93. I was about 12 I think.
2 seconds into the video and I already knew he had the 'Itis. 😂But when the EMT lady said, "I would've fought you" I died. Ain't nobody wanna go back to the cold! Me: Always wanna move North for the summer. But can't leave in the winter.
Dad had so much gravy, he said that if they took a blood test, that his blood would be "white sop." Well, I thought he was joking; now, I am beginning to wonder if he were telling the truth.
