The thing is with tapioca pearls, you need to make a caramelised sugar syrup and leave the cooked pearls to soak in the syrup for a while. You then sieve them out of the syrup when you want to use them. Otherwise, they will just be chewy flavourless balls. My partner is Taiwanese (where bubble tea comes from) so I have learned a few tricks here and there.
I guess it would be different in a context where you are starving and there's really nothing else to eat. But in the context where you could buy from the store any ingredient that already tastes good instead... One must ask the question: is tapioca really worth the extra effort?
Sago is not like tapioca pearls. Hami melon texture is very different from cantaloupe or honeydew, it has a light almost foam-like texture - imagine a fine foam which happens to be a solid instead of a liquid.
I've always found discussions about authentic food and where and how food belongs in a region strange. For me, food is also about experimenting, trying things out, trying new things. In my small village here in Germany, the takeaway was bought by an Indian and he started offering a currywurst with coconut-mango curry along with endless typical "German" dishes, but many people got upset about this one dish. I tried it and the combination was quite interesting! It was banned from the menu shortly afterwards, but some people still don't go there because he wanted to try something new, this behaviour is totally nuts in my opinion. 🤷♂😂
You did the pronounciation for the Swedish meal really well! And there is a lot of meals in Sweden, a lot of them called "husmanskost", which roughly translates to simple and home cooked. I would definitely recommend you trying Porterstek, the sauce is the main thing! And if you do go to Sweden, especially the north of Sweden, try palt and renskavsgryta! Palt is like a boiled potato dumpling and renskavsgryta is reindeer with mushrooms and a creambased sauce. Absolutely amazing, miss the Swedish food! And something we eat for breakfast - filmjölk, with cornflakes. It's quite sour though, so not for the faint of heart.
Hey Barry, black peppercorns can't really replace white peppercorns. They're very different flavors -- both good, but different. Hot & sour soup (a favorite of mine) gets most of its flavor from white pepper and it wouldn't taste at all the same with black pepper. I keep white pepper around because it is really good. I recommend you get a small grinder to use with white peppercorns.
Loved this!!! Please do more like this. I love the recipes that you (we) would have never known about had it not been for the fate of the darts! I’m definitely going to make these! (Minus the melon thing)
Wah! I love this concept! It combines cooking or international cuisine with learning about places one might have never stumbled upon :D I hope this becomes a new series.
Where the flipping heck were you Barry! I've been twiddling my thumbs for this past hour! LOL 😜, I'm only joshing with you mate, looking forward to watching the video 👍
She is! lol bud the cool thing is if it was damaged, which it wasn't you can just heat gun up a strip, i've done it before when a relative managed to drop something very heavy, pretty fun!
Love this idea of trying different countries like this! You could even do something like 3 different States of America with how wide a variety of food that many states are known for.
As a swede I was worried you'd get into the "new Swedish cuisine" and make something that's a fusion of an old recipe and something completely alien. I'm happily surprised that you went with cod, I enjoy a good cod and I absolutely LOVE horseradish! As you sprinkled on that dill I breathed out a sigh of relief, that's when it all just "clicked" into place, the dot over the i so to speak. Good job!
Super cool video! Those dishes looked delicious 😋 I would definitely do vegetarian options, even with the fish there is some vegetarian replacements. Also loved all the jokes and puns!! 😂 You always bring such joy and fun to your videos ❤ I'm so grateful ❤ Many blessings ❤
I'm catching up on these, but let me tell you, Xinjiang is KNOWN for superbly sweet fruits. It's something about how dry the desert environment is, the sugar concentrates in the fruit and it's delicious. Hami melons are amazing. I'll even eat Xinjiang raisins when I hate regular raisins because BOY those are so good.
@@annother3350 Can't say I've ever had that, but I do remember the tale of Elvis Presley and the Fool's Gold Loaf. It was basically a massive PB&J hoagie with a load of bacon in it. It's likely one of the reasons why Elvis burst his heart on the bog back in 1973, alongside all the drugs. Still, I totally get peanut butter and bacon in concept.
Sorry, I don't understand the question - from worst to best (like the celebrity ones)? From old foods to today? And the burger one, do you mean the 5 levels of burger? I've got about 3 questions in one sentence here i'm trying to process lol.
You mentioned rye bread, that is also a huge thing in Denmark used primarily for Smørrebrød absolutely something anyone should try, and to take it a step further make the rye bread yourself and use it whilst still luke-warm
Im swedish and my mom sometimes make this except she does like a fishpudding, that with potatoes, carrots,peashoots and the butter and horseradish😋 one of my comfort meals.
Love this concept, as I love discovering new foods and combinations. There's a channel, blondie in China, shes an Aussie girl travelling all throughout china/Asia and trying the craziest things, but makes it look so normal and sound delicious most of the times. Even things us westerners might find not as appealing when we hear about them. But then she explains exactly what they do to make it edible and mostly sounds super logical and very much edible 😅 except for the crazy spice levels, she handles local spice levels like an absolute BOSS! 😅
I truly believe that using small (not mini) tapioca would have been fine. You may want to try tapioca pudding, if you have never had it. It is a very easy, creamy, comforting dessert. I you add cinnamon or nutmeg it is perfect on cold winter days👍👍👍
What a brilliant challenge , I think you should do more of these but don’t damage your kitchen floor, find a another method 👍Thanks for sharing Barry 😋👍
Hope this is a start of a new series, you might need to figure out a better way for the darts to stick however. That floor 😅. Really like learning about new and random places around the world, so this is really cool :)
About the Mali dish. I make something similar that I thought up myself. I brown chicken drumsticks and thighs, then remove it from the pan and brown some onion. Add can of tomatoes and some bay leaves and all spice. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer till chicken is done. Then, I add 2-3 tablespoons of peanut butter to the sauce to thicken it. I serve it with couscous, blanched spinach and roasted butternut.
Yes. It’s a wild substitution. I’m always really surprised by the things he can’t get at the store. There’s always horseradish, both fresh and jarred, at my store. White pepper too. I live in a smaller city in the Midwest us.
Insanely late to the party on this one, But HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! Me and my Partner just got Engaged in August and we love watching these videos together! We cant wait to seal (Bayaiii) the deal in January
Glad you liked a Swedish dish and I'm also glad that you choose a fish dish so people can learn that we have more than just Surströmming in that category. Even though I'm not from Norrköping I have made a video about it if you would like to check it out it's on my channel.
I think you'll find Norrköping pronounced approximately like 'Norr-SHIR-ping' (without the sound of the 'r'). I like the 'throw a dart at the map' idea. What about getting an atlas and just randomly opening a page up with your eyes closed and stabbing with your finger? Or have someone move the map under you while you drop a dart from above? Or have a selection of countries to choose from and spin a wheel (or use a random generator) to pick your three? Options!
We swedes don't really use fresh horseradish either. We get it out of a tube.. (We swedes sure do love our tubed foods) Ohh, and for proper effect, some chopped up egg on top of the cod is higly recommended, along with green peas and some boiled potatoes. :)
Gr8 video. Did u know Barry that u can get melons her in Australia that are half a honey dew and cantaloupe that are crispy like a cucumber. I'm sure you'd have the same thing in the UK.
This reminds me of your tasting the world series. Please consider visiting Colombia: suggestions: Arroz con leche, arroz con pollo, tres leches cake, bandeja paisa 🇨🇴🇨🇴🇨🇴
Really nice format. Keep it up but you need a better way to set up the map and throw darts... Maybe get it hung up outside vertically. That Swedish dish looked lovely!
Not a melon-head, either, but the fish looks amazing! Maybe put the map on the grass outside and launch the dart high behind you? Like those lethal "lawn darts" that were a thing when I was young.
I think it would be awesome if you could get cheap flights to any place to try the actual food. It would be cool to experience the scenery and the shops where you get the food.
That recipe from Mali sounds a lot like some I tried from a food stall from the Ivory Coast, but apparently variations are popular around West Africa. The one I had was thinner and soaked the rice under it.
Hoi, Barry! If you want to do a food travel series, go for it! I know it wouldn't be cheap, but I'd love to watch it. As much as I like to pretend I have some culinary knowledge, I truly don't know very much about worldwide cuisine, but I'd love to know more. And hey, maybe one day we'll get a crossover or cameo with Abroad in Japan! I know, wishful thinking; but still, starting with Scandinavian countries wouldn't be the worst choice, since funnily, we don't know a ton about their cuisine or delicacies. I mean, yeah, everyone knows about surströmming, but there's a lot more hidden around. Anyway, that's all, hope to see ya trying out more fun stuff, as I really do love watching your videos, mate! Cheers!
An idea if you want to have an easier time with the darts sticking, put some cork board behind the map. Again assuming this does become a regularly thing.
There is a dramatic difference between white and black peppercorns the dish again with white peppercorn it’s mild so you should’ve just put one or two as a black

Try 'groundnut stew ' from Ghana - variation on the Mali recipe.
Barry , you sooooo need to get a andre the giant cardboard cut out camera focus point when it's time for homer to go back to Springfield
Barry, they say we eat with our eyes!!
Can I suggest creating a store cupboard spices and tins to send off with your kids to college?
Please do more. I loved this.
hope this is the start of a new series. reminds me of the videos you did years ago of you and your family trying snacks from all over the world

I've learned to leave tapioca balls in the shop

One must ask the question: is tapioca really worth the extra effort?
Great Video Barry. Love this concept. Looking forward to the next dart / country cooking show
Norrköping is pronounced Nor-shur-ping. It kind of means north-market. Very nice industrial town, kind of like the Manchester of Sweden.
thanks, yeah I did mention that in the longer Patreon version of the video - seems a cool place!
@@mrbarrylewis Hmm...guess that means I should join your patreon then ;)
"Very nice", "Like Manchester"
Only one of those things can be true. I'm sure it's the first.
So its full of pubs, is filthy and largely famous for a football club?
I live there 😃😃or just outside now.
Sago is not like tapioca pearls. Hami melon texture is very different from cantaloupe or honeydew, it has a light almost foam-like texture - imagine a fine foam which happens to be a solid instead of a liquid.
Really enjoying the new concept. Definitely want to see this develop in to a series. Thanks
Did you destroy your floor for a video?
Nope, the darts are proper blunt and it's really good floor

Okay Barry you do understand you've just damaged you own floor... Rest In Piece Barry, cause of death: unhappy Mrs B 🤣🤣🤣
Unhappy? Barry has given her an excuse to pick out a new floor! She'll be chuffed!
next time use magnetic darts with a metal backed map LOL . cheers met , please continue bruv ! :)

I loved this episode! I'd love to see more like this!
Please do these more often! Food around the world fascinates me and I’d love to see you do this more!!

Next time you make spaghetti with marinara sauce, put a lil peanut butter on your bread . Idk why they combo works but it is delicious!!

Chinese peanut beef also

If the dart lands in the sea you could cook Canarian "papas arrugadas" (wrinkly potatoes). They are traditionally cooked in sea water.
There is dishes for each municipality norrköping is potato pancake with "bacon" with lingberry sauce. Swedish name is raggmunk med fläsk
Ginger is a strong flavor, this would totally change the taste of the recipe.
Yes. It’s a wild substitution. I’m always really surprised by the things he can’t get at the store. There’s always horseradish, both fresh and jarred, at my store. White pepper too. I live in a smaller city in the Midwest us.
I whinced, too. Can't you get preserved horseradish in the UK? It would work in a pinch and be way better than using ginger.
Was refreshing Twitter expecting it to drop and then see your post. 😂

There is a dramatic difference between white and black peppercorns the dish again with white peppercorn it’s mild so you should’ve just put one or two as a black
