British Highschoolers try Texas BBQ!

I feel like you're having a spiritual experience here. I kind of am. You've come in for years. This is the best thing you've ever put in front of me. What age can you legally move to America? The British high schoolers have tasted it all. Fast food giants, comfort food classics and everything in between. But now comes the crescendo. It's Texas barbecue, baby! That looks amazing. I feel emotional. Have you guys ever had southern barbecue before? No, I've had this like bread. You've had bread? That's good, that's good. This is what a platter might look like, but you're missing the star of the show. No, what is that? That is massive. Oh my, it's bigger than my head. It's like one of those food challenges. That looks lovely. What does that look like to you? Like a burnt steak. Like mud. It's like a huge raisin. Like a huge raisin. This is brisket. Oh my word, just look at the juice coming out when you're just cutting it. Look at the juice just seeping out. It is slow cooked for over 16 hours. I'd rather go Maccies. For your first ever bite of Texas barbecue, I think we should try some burnt ends. Oh my god. That just melted in my mouth. Yeah. Wow. I can't even describe it. Perfect. It's actually wonderful. That is amazing. That is so good. It is like steak but smoky. The flavour just lasts for ages, doesn't it? It's so good, I'll probably have to go back for another one. Yeah. It tastes like, I can't even explain. It's absolutely sublime. That's really good. So it doesn't taste like mud? No. My eyes are watering. The flavours just hit you in the back of the throat. I've not eaten all day and this is probably the best thing I've ever eaten. Help yourself, you can grab some fatty brisket. Look at that, look at that. So tender, it just rips apart. Oh my days. Is that fat? It is. But that fat, it's not like steak fat, right? Where it's a bit chewy and you might want to cut it off. It is rendered down so it's all soft and melting. It melts in your mouth. Are you lying? He's not lying. That is amazing. My mouth's mesmerised. Your mouth is mesmerised. That's lovely. I've literally never tasted anything like it. It's like steak times a thousand. Those fatty parts makes it so much better. It's not like a chewy fat, it's like... A gooey fat. Yeah. You're the funny one. Okay. The bark is the best part. Oh, it's really, really good. The best bit is the bark though, isn't it? Just to have it on its own. Oh wow, wow. It's a lot of flavour. It makes it all like really warm and like cosy, like you're eating a pillow or something. Yeah. It's like being hugged. Why don't we have this in like the UK? I don't think anyone's that patient to weigh 60 pounds. You did say I'd rather have a Macca's. Is that still your opinion? Macca's can have it. No, I would definitely go this. Especially if someone else is cooking it for you. Yeah, I'm not wearing that for Sydney. With the lean brisket right here, you might want to try something we call a Texas Fold. Texas Fold. What's that? Wait, fold as in like... Grab a bit of toast, a bit of brisket. You can even put a bit of slaw in there if you want. Some pickles. I'll get you some pickles. You got pickles again. Are you putting pickles in the milkshake? Yeah. They're in control. This is chaos. You like pickles? I've never tried them. So what do you think? I think that's good, yeah. It's like cucumber but better. Exactly. Do you like pickles? No. Okay, you don't have to have pickles. I'm all for the rad. Okay, you're up for new experiences. That's a lot of pickles for someone who doesn't like pickles. Oh, look at that. Oh, he knows. And what you're going to do, fold that in half. I think I put too much. You put a lot, I'm not going to lie. Just like lean on it to fold it. And that they call a Texas Fold. We learned this recently. Everything is better with bread in it. Chow down. That is so nice. The pickles ruin it though. Oh, you're not a fan? Cocktails make it so much better. So many different flavors coming in and the meat is so juicy. Took enormous bites. That was really good. That was like... That was so nice. The coleslaw mixed with the sauce and then like the pickle, the crunch and then the meat. This is the best sandwich I've ever had. Okay. Oh, wow. It's so good. You are chowing down. I love to see it. Wow. Oh, wow. Oh my gosh. Dave. Are you going on holiday this summer? Yes, off to Portugal. Well, we actually have a gift for you today.

That looks like a bite from sauce. What do you think that is? I have no idea. Oh wow. The meat has literally slid right off that bone. Wow. When we order ribs, they're not like this. They're not like this. I think our people eat all of this just in one go. Flap it around. Try flap it around. What do you mean flap it around? So it can come up. Yes, pull it off. Straight in with your hands. Oh my gosh, it's a feeding frenzy. I don't even know what that is. Get stuck in, boys. That was a big bite. That's really nice. My mouth wants some water. Oh my goodness. It's absolutely incredible. My eyes are watering. That's better than the brisket. It's like tougher in the middle. It's like as you bite into it, it's so nice. It's so good. If it's getting a bit too much flavor, I really like to offset that with a bit of cornbread. Is it cake? It's not cake. I thought it was sponge cake. It looks like normal cake. It looks like cake, yeah. Oh, you're not sure? That's not for me. It's really bland. It's like eating paper. Wow, okay. Brutal. It goes quite well to offset the greasiness of the meat. You're not a fan. I mean, it's not that I'm not a fan, but once you've had the flavor of this, fair enough, yeah, this is like eating a crouton, isn't it? Amazing. Okay. And that absorbs the grease and the meat in your mouth, and it like really disperses it. It's gone. It gets rehydrated with a meat juice. You know when you get that, you spill water on the floor, you get like a mop. It does that, and when you push it into the thing, in that little bucket, it redisperses it, into your mouth. A really horrible analogy, but yeah. There is another kind of rib on there from a different animal. This one? Nope. Yeah, this guy, this guy. You guys are so clueless. That's the difference between a pork rib and a cow rib. I've never had ribs before. Yeah, same. I've never had ribs. You've never had pork ribs? I've had so much different types of meat, but I've never had ribs. And then you can rip off one rib at a time, or just go in, just go in, fair enough. Oh, that's like a special taste. There's a little bit of honey, maybe? That's it. That's lovelier. It's good? Better than the ones I've had before. Okay, okay. This is... How does one eat this without getting bones? You can really tell that you guys haven't eaten ribs before. It's so good. Each one is like getting better. They're all like really good. This is so good. There's just bones and skin on this pig. I'm actually jealous. What do you mean? How do they get to eat this? I want to go to America now. If you could get this here, how often do you think you would? Every day. Every day? Every day. There is actually beef sausage there. They make beef sausages? They make beef sausages. Beef sausage? I severely hate that. So in America, I feel like beef sausages are the most common sort of hot dogs and sausages. Why is it like this? That just looks... Wow. America's really go big or go home with all their food. So this is a beef sausage that's been smoked, infused with some cheese, jalapenos, a lot of spices. The skin is really hard to bite through. Oh, I love that skin. It like cracks as you bite into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I just love sausages. That is a good sausage. That is really, really good. That's the best thing. Oh my God. Much better than normal sausages. Much better than Tesco, Aldi, Sainsbury's, any shop that does this. I don't think I can eat food here anymore. Now it's time for some barbecue sides. Mac and cheese. You guys like mac and cheese? Yeah, I love mac and cheese. It's disappointed me. I'm not a fan of mac and cheese. You don't like mac and cheese? No. Have you had mac and cheese with a crispy top before? Yeah, my mom makes them quite a lot. Okay, okay. I'd never tell her this, but it's not very good. Wow, I hope she's not watching. To tell the truth, I've never tried a mac and cheese. Okay, this is your first ever mac and cheese. I like it, but I don't like the crusty bits. You don't like the crispy top? I don't like the crusty bits. It's the best. Oh, it's creamy mac and cheese. Nando's mac and cheese is nice, but... Is this better? Way better. Another level. It's nice, it's not sloppy. Mac and cheese is sloppy, isn't it? Yeah, it is. It runs like that. It's not running, is it? I'm not sure what this is. Yeah, it adds too much texture to it. Oh, what, the crispy breadcrumbing on top? You don't like that? A bit too cheesy for me. Oh, too cheesy? I think it's cheesy, but it's not the same type of cheesy I'm used to. It's more like a rich. Oh, you want it to be more bland? Yeah. We also have some pit beans for you. What's in it? You got your beans? And pit. But it's like... Thankfully, no pit. That looks like dirty sewage water or something. And it looks terrible. Oh, is there meat in there? There is a bit of brisket in there as well. Trying to sneak beef in everything. I'm not really a big fan of beans. I can tell from the single bean that you've picked up there on your fork. The texture's throwing you. You don't like the beans. That was the best we could have hoped for. This is not your average beans on toast. That we should clarify. I can't. So you don't like beans? No, not really. It's not my type of thing. Okay. It's better than sewage water. Is it better than British baked beans? No. Wow. I don't like the sauce. Oh my goodness. Wow. Yeah. It's good? I love beans. Is it better or is it worse than British beans on toast? As much as I hate to say it, it is better. Okay. They've won this time, yeah. They've won this round. Have you not eaten in a week? I love it. It's lovely. Mate, you are a man after my own heart. I love how well you're eating this. Something to wash it down with. Cup of tea. Okay. I love tea. This is southern tea. That's not tea. That's so sweet. Taste that juice. Yeah, it's a bit, yeah. Isn't that... I don't taste any tea in that, to be honest. Not a cup of tea. What do you mean? It's an iced tea. How many cups of tea do you have a day? I'm not a massive tea drinker. In fact, it sounds really snobby. I only drink tea if someone makes it for me. Yes. Like a royal. Correct. So if someone says you want a cup of tea, I say yes. I would never think I'll make myself a cup of tea. Do you have a final message for anyone in the south watching this video? Please never make cornbread ever again. Wow. Okay. Don't take the negative. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean everyone has to dislike it. I mean, feel free to send me this. Okay. What is this? Keep making beef ribs. It's a beef rib. He still doesn't know what it is. He just loves it. I want to go to America now. I'm still, like, comprehending the flavours.
