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. )

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.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

@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...)

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.

"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.

If you get the chance, try other Louisiana dishes too, such as gumbo (there are three varieties!), etouffee, red beans and rice, and jambalaya.

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!

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

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).

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!

I was in 2018 in Japan for the first time and before tasting the food in Japan directly I was also not able to understand the difference..the „imported“ or „reproduced“ stuff that gets sold abroad from Japan isn’t even slightly demonstrating the good flavor of Japanese food...for example the melonbun that I got in my country in a Japanese delicacy store was sugary but bland, while the real deal in Japan had a light melon flavor without being too sugary, it was also more fluffy and had a perfect texture. The most fight bun in Japan is yakisobabun I was able to buy it once(6am, woke up early only for that) and its savory and delicious and yes, if I would be a schoolkid I would also fight to buy it cuz it can be breakfast and it can be dinner or lunch or midnightsnack or whatever and it is just perfect...the dry and sugary stuff abroad can’t compare to that..same goes bro for sandwiches..if I buy them in my country they are dry and fatty and despite me choosing stuff with meat it tastes sweet and if one checks the ingredients there is sugar in it..the ones I got in Japan were instead fluffy delicious healthy no sugar and best taste of a sandwich I ever had.....I miss Japanese food, I need this pandemic to be over so I can visit for another foodtour

After that variations (culture fusion) has evolved into fried boudin balls, smoked boudin, used as stuffing said as stuff flounder/red snapper or chicken/turkey, etc. Even the boudin balls have taken on a different spin by stuffing them instead of the boudin being the stuffing.

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.

Most ppl add something sweet to it like jam or Marmelade of any kind of fruit, or even Nutella, some even add a mixture of cinnamon and more sugar to it...this is the first time I heard that somebody added salt and pepper to it 😹 I guess they didn’t cook it with sugar and milk, so it didn’t taste sweet...but I can’t imagine it being cooked with only water 😹
