I’m from Mississippi, and I have a cousin who moved to England and married a guy who owned a fish market. When she found out that crawfish are an invasive species there, she told him to have his guys go out and catch as many as they could. While they were doing that, she made up the best Cajun crawfish boil spice mix she could come up with, so when they got back with the crawfish, she boiled them just like these. They absolutely loved it.

You won't find New Orleans style food anywhere else. It had to be created where it was due to the types of people that congregated there. New Orleans cuisine is a mix of French, Spanish, German, African, Native American, southern American with Italian influences. Good luck finding that combination anywhere else.

You can get great crawfish at a restaurant like that, but a full blown crawfish boil in someone's backyard is a whole other experience and worth coming to town in the spring for.

Creole/Cajun cuisine is a blend of West African, Caribbean, German, French, more recently Vietnamese, and all those people learned from the indigenous how to eat from the lands and waters of Louisiana❤ glad y’all got to experience my culture

everybody pitched in a little. The Acadians (and other French) brought sauces and techniques, the great cured meat traditions came from the Germans (and the rice farming tradition), the Spanish and Canary islanders kicked in their spice palette among other things, the natives taught them about the edible seafood and wildlife, and so on, and so on. It's a legit melting pot. Note-- the list is not exhaustive, and is not a ranking.

@@testodude I could break this down more precisely but I won’t. I’m a food historian specializing in the cuisines of my blood lineage. I’m very well aware of the contributions but the European people did not contribute as much as they’re being credited for seeing as how for hundreds of years most of them didn’t do any cooking 🤓 important to consider when talking about the development of creole cuisine. Cajun sure.

I love watching Brits try American food. Y'all were blessed to have Debbie there with the patience and willing to teach you how it was done. You guys did very well. I hope you guys tipped her well because she earned it.

Debbie made this segment, what an amazing lady! The food is incredible, and the guys really enjoyed it. Very nice representation of regional southern seafood.

The thing you guys did perfect about this was having a group of people together, sharing, joking, laughing and chowing down on food. I know that's the basis for a lot of your content, but it's also the basis for a crawfish boil. It's just not complete without sucking juices out of things, getting spices in the wrong places, and joking about it all with friends.

I’m from South Mississippi and to see these two eat these different foods from the south makes me take for granted what I eat like this on a daily basis thanks for sharing guys

This is one of the most wholesome things I’ve seen all day. So glad y’all enjoyed

I loved Debbie. She was so sassy and funny. She just put a smile in my face.

Josh and Ollie are always so entertaining and gracious.

Always remember this dining experience when people in Europe tell you, "American cuisine is hot dogs and hamburgers".

As a cajun myself i am proud of seeing some brits eating crawfish so well cultured

Great video guys and you can do this in the UK if you can get your hands on the seafood. I'll give you a good tip... go to a US grocery store while you are there and buy something in the spice section called "Zatarains Seafood Boil". You can get it in a solid form or liquid..I prefer liquid. Get some water boiling with salt, add this Zatarains generously then add the seafood (shrimp, crawfish) to the boiling water and turn off the heat immediately. Let the seafood sit in the hot water for 15 minutes or longer if you want it really spicy, remove from water, cool a bit then enjoy! You can also add corn and potatoes to the boil but let them boil for 10 minutes or so before adding the seafood and turning off the heat. You will love it! I'm an American living in Europe and I bring this Zatarains back from the US when I travel and amaze my EU friends with the results.

Crawfish boils has to be shared among friends & family. That last time lapse part of the video is exactly how it’s done. Everyone enjoying the feast together. Relaxing. Telling stories. Just having fun.

Salvos is great tho and they have big communal tables. We’ve been going for years. Can’t always get it together for a house boil but I find I want crawfish at least once a week in season.

I’m a proud Cajun. I love the fact that everyone who comes to visit us always has a good time and eats some great food

It's so touched to see wherever Jolly crew go they always meet the fun, softest, lovely, and kind people. I'm so happy to see the interaction in every video

So proud of Ollie with the oysters. He doesn't hesitate as much anymore with trying them.

As an American I love your videos. Often we take for granted what is around us and it is great to see your infectious energy as you try new things

Every crawfish boil I’ve been to has been in somebody’s backyard. Love them.

I love that she says "suck" (like a straw) and Josh immediately tries to turn into a vacuum. 🤣

As a Texas girl, I’m used to potatoes and corn cooked with our crawfish. Yum! And when working for that little bit of crawfish meat, eating is messy as heck! No gloves. You don't notice though because you get in a routine and talk to everyone around the table. I love crab though & this spread is amazing! La food & seasoning are beyond! And Debbie is a sweetheart for showing them how to eat all that seafood.

Thank you guys! Watching you both enjoy these foods sheds a new exciting light on a beautiful culture that has become commonplace to me over the years. Y’all are great!!

I love being from New Orleans and having non New Orleans people experience the culture! You guys need to come to Mardi Gras next😊❤

Debbie for the win!! That's Louisiana hospitality at its best right there ❤

Debbie was exactly how most people are in Nola. That’s why I fell in love with that city from the first time I visited. The food is amazing. The people are amazing. The architecture and history is rich. I mean I could just go on!!

So glad you got to experience a taste of Louisiana along with Debbie’s fantastic Southern hospitality! She is a gem for sure! Great video!

Marylander here and most seafood is a shared experience. Be is South, East or Northeast, you sit around with friends and family to eat and enjoy!

I am from Louisiana, and worked in northern Virginia for a few years. I really enjoyed Chesapeake Bay seafood. I have to say you guys know what you're doing, too!

Ollie is truly a hands-on eater and was thoroughly enjoying the whole process. Thank you jolly.

Debbie giving a great example of Louisiana hospitality. If any of yall have never been to Louisiana, ya should come for a visit but be warned, you may not wanna leave 🤣.

I liked Debbie watching from afar, listening and then chuckling to herself

We need a Canada food tour, it’s bound to happen at some point!!!!

Ollie literally represents all of our shower thoughts and acts on it for the adrenaline kick lmao

Well, don't forget that it was Josh who was advising Ollie to not get caught up sucking on the wrong head.

I love Josh's optimism and excitement paired with Ollie's absurd and slightly cynical observations...his soft shelled crab comments were hilarious!

Just watching them enjoy our vast collection of good food is so satisfying. Makes me so happy

I wish y'all had an extras section where it was the part at the end with the crew trying everything and enjoying it.

Loved seeing Debbie in the back reacting and laughing at their reactions and comments 😂

sucking the head is so integral to eating crawfish 😂 i’m so glad ms. debbie educated you guys on how to eat a seafood boil- learning how to eat another culture’s food is just as important as trying it in the first place ❤️

Sucking the head out always gags me so I don’t do it anymore.🤮

1 day in 37 on trending and the reaction channels are also loving it...when Josh says he'll you know it's great😅😅😅

Ollie's facial expressions remind me of Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy. Funny faces and so spot on with his food analysis at times. Love your channel!

Born and raised in Louisiana, moved to Texas in 1988. We host boils at our house, otherwise Ive not found a true boil here. Some try, and they are okay (I mean, its crawfish...I'll never turn them down!!), but I do love a REAL boil! Typically at a boil I eill eat 7-10 lbs. on my own. I know they say 3-5 lbs per person, but any self-respecting crawfish lover will eat double that any day! Haha!!! Glad y'all enjoyed that!!
