You know what's weird? One time I opened up a tin of butter cookies and there were actually cookies in it. I was so used to being disappointed by a sewing kit that it shocked me to actually find cookies.
I thought this was only in Brazil
I think of my grandma every time I buy a blue tin of cookies around the holidays. I never found cookies in hers 😂
@@priscillad8 I grew up and live in Savannah, GA, US... it's the same here.... I don't think it's a "culture" or "country" thing, I think it's just a "grandma" thing.
@@derekbroestler7687 I'm seeing by the comments
@@derekbroestler7687 So it must be like that grandma thing of giving money hidden from other grandchildren
My parents lived in Istanbul as hippie travelers back in the early '60s. YEARS later, I asked my Dad how to wish my immigrant neighbor "Happy New Year" in Turkish. He told me, and I proudly repeated it to her. Turns out...Dad did NOT remember holiday greetings; he actually had me recite a list of various dolma varieties. Poor confused neighbor...
@erinconroy9813 I can’t stop laughing!
😵 Ohhhhh noooooooo
Lmao! That is fabulous!
😂😂😂
In Turkey, they usually deliver the manti, yogurt, and tomato sauce in seperate containers so you can combine them yourself and it looks better. :) I lived in Istanbul for 9 years so I was really happy to see this video!
P.S - If you get the chance, try the dessert "Tavuk göğsü" then look up what it's made out of and your mind will be blown. ;)
My favourite dessert is tavuk göğsü
Whoah I just looked it up! That’s incredible!
Awwww that's so cute of you! our desserts are really delicious 🤤
the name just speaks for itself but gotta translate first though lol
@@ariellaryner7740 so gooooood
Hey Beryl, for the manti (as a personal preference) I go for melting butter and chili flakes (pul biber in Turkish) in a small pan until it heats up and blends together. Then you layer the manti with yoghurt followed by this butter-chili pepper final touch. You can (and should) have it with also dried mint. For "40 to fit", we refer to when manti is uncooked. and it's just an exaggeration :D
Pul biber is such an addictive flavor. It makes so many things taste special 🙂
that's exactly how it should be done, sister!
@@callitags I think the sauce changes region to region. Where I used to live in Niğde, it was fried salça (sundried tomato paste) but when I moved to istanbul everyone used the chilli oil
@@emiroven3683 The fried salça sounds lovely too :)
@@callitags It surely does, although it tastes perfect in every form :)
Any tin was reused for sewing supplies. I know it was done by my great grandmother, my grandmother, my mom and now me. May the tradition continue.
I think it’s common across the population, my mum and grandmothers did it. I do it.
My granny had like 5-6 of those Danish Butter Cookie tins filled w/ buttons, yarn, needles, you name it… after us grandkids complaining for the 1000th time she stored them in her sewing machine build in kinda desk… Gosh I miss those days, I can even remember the typical smell of that piece of furniture 😮❤ beautiful golden memories… I miss her so much, she passed away in 2007 at 83
I don’t know if Grubhub delivers Belgian food, but if they do I’d suggest these- first course: garnaalkroket; main course: Stoofvlees met frieten and as dessert of course a Belgian Waffle 😍😋
I think those Danish Butter Cookie tins are very useful to be reused that it’s really common all around the world 🌎
My gran did too, even though my family is Chinese and we are immigrants to the US she did the Danish Butter Cookie Tin But It’s Not Cookies thing too. I love how it’s this universal phenomenon 😂
I still remember the smell of my grandma's furniture as well. Her pantry was inside this super dark and very carved cabinet and I loved opening it to see what was inside and claim to "organise" it. I miss her as well
The meme regarding containers, Balkan version: soda bottle filled with brandy.
This episode was really nice to see because I love Turkish foods. The Balkans are heavily influenced by Turkish cuisine, and zucchini pancakes are the best way to make kids eat vegetables. They usually soak up a lot of oil, but in waffle maker they come up crispy, delicious and not at all oily.
It’s funny how we in Romania took two Turkish dishes and made them our own, sarma and kefte (chiftea). I think those grapevine rolls are common in every country that had contact with the Turks during the Middle Ages. I actully made the zucchini fritters too a while ago, following a pinterest recipe but I had no idea they were Turkish. Well, thanks Turkey, they’re nice
The manti you got is actually HUGE! Lol I’m definitely not used to seeing them so big.. also, a garlic yoghurt with a tomatoey sauce on top with sprinkling of dried mint 👌🏼 🤤
Also, the Dolma or Sarma recipes change from region to region including size. My family is from Izmir and I was always told that they must be rolled long and thin like a pencil, without meat. Glad you made this video 😊
As someone who is from İzmir, I FIND IT ABSOLUTE HERESY TO PUT MINCED MEAT INSIDE SARMA, THAT BELONGS TO DOLMA. Sarma must be with rice, whatever that grape like thing is called, and must be cooked with olive oil. My mom used to cook great sarma but due to her health issues she stopped that completely, buying some from Migros, which are quite similar to my mother's cooking makes me happy. I think branding is "Beypazarı" or something, absolutely delicious.
I'm Romanian and I knew we had a lot of similar foods but you can tell we are cuisine cousins from this video haha (especially with the grape leaves, eggplant, and zucchini pancakes!)
Yes! Balkan foods from around the Black Sea are the so delicious
The zucchini pancakes look incredible
balkan gang unite
@@tamarlavy7464 these are not balkan foods, these foods youll find even in the corners in south eastern turkey. Its not a black sea thing at all. Its present in caucasia and levant countries as well.
@@tamarlavy7464 these are of mostly turkic and arabic origin
My late mother's sewing kit, which is now mine, has been kept in an eighty something year old tin of My Lady's Fancy English Biscuits for my whole life. When I moved at age 57 to the same city that my sister lived in, she was so excited to see the tin. She hadn't seen it in almost 40 years.
❤
Sounds yummy!
Hey Beryl! I'm from Barranquilla (Shakira's hometown), a city in the coast of Colombia. Most coastal cities in the country have strong turkish, lebanese/palestinian/syrian influence due to migration. It is very common to eat parritas (stuffed grape leaves), repollitos (stuffed cabbage), kibbe, kafta, hummus, marmaon, eggplant and other arab influenced foods. It always amazes me how far food can travel.
Love your videos!
Hi, Beryl! American here, but I was born on Incirlik AFB before it shut down, and spent some time there in early childhood. I have loved Turkish food ever since, and I miss my Turkish nanny. ❤️
Not only did my mom (who immigrated from Bangladesh) put sewing materials in Danish butter cookie tins, but she also filled old yogurt containers (like the large Greek yogurt containers) and margarine tubs with a variety of curries and daals. I love how universal this is!
Same, re: the universal aspect.
Same i do the same thing too
Everything looked so good! I love Turkish food. It would be really interesting to see some African cuisines represented in this series, like Moroccan, Ethiopian or any other you might have access to.
Ethiopian!
I have an Ethiopian restaurant in Ann Arbor close to where I live and I don’t know what I would get if I were to go there 😂
@@22kelseydillabaugh Ethiopian food is so delicious! 🔥
@@22kelseydillabaugh my faves are the lentils and the collard greens. Can’t miss. Beware the injeera (their bread) is spongy and sour and filling. So keep that in mind.
@@22kelseydillabaugh I've never had any African meals (yet!!!), but I recently made an Ethiopian friend who was telling me that one of her go-to weekday meals is jollof rice. She makes a big batch on Monday and reheats it for quick meals throughout the week. I'm allergic to rice, so this is one I won't be able to try, but maybe that would be a simple place to start if you get a chance to try Ethiopian food. ☀️
It’s official, I think Turkish good may be my favorite, without really trying much of it (all the ingredients/ flavors together is exactly what I like). Gonna have to learn how to make all of these
You can check “Refika's Kitchen” RUclips channel if you wanna learn Turkish cuisine. She’s a famous chef in Turkey.
That's so true. Even I grew up finding a sewing kit inside Danish butter cookie tin. But now that I've grown up, I find green peas or parsley inside the ice cream tub lol
Every Indian would be able to relate 🤣
The cookie tin one! 😆 in Indonesia, you won't find sewing kit inside but a snack called rengginang, we serve it during big occasion such as Eid or when there's a guest coming over
I remember that during Eid years ago, I visited my grandpa's house with my cousins and when we saw there was a cookie tin we took a guess of what's inside, "is it cookies or rengginang?" and neither of us were right, it was filled with fried peanuts!
The only difference between sewing kits in Danish cookie containers and Dolma in ice cream containers is that you still get to snack, just not what you wanted 😂
Big difference!
Sometimes it is much good than ice cream
i love how they told beryl to pair dishes with yogurt lol. we basically eat EVERYTHING with yogurt. some people literally have manti with ayran which is just yogurt added water so you're basically having yogurt with yogurt. 🤣
Turkish food looks absolutely appetizing. Thanks Beryl for giving us ideas on what food we should consume next. Your recommendations are top notch. May God bless you and your family.
I have yet to be disappointed by a Turkish restaurant. At this point, I feel like I could wander into a Turkish restaurant anywhere in the world, and I would be guaranteed a delicious meal.
Hi Beryl, I would love to watch an Ethiopian delivery food episode. It can easily be both for meat eaters and vegetarians and even vegans. Also, teff, the grain that is commonly used to make the Ethiopian flatbread (ingira), is gluten free.
Yes!!! Ethiopian would be so good!! Thanks for suggesting it!
Ethiopian food is SO good! I'm vegetarian and I find Ethiopian food a good way to introduce people to new foods because it's got familiar ingredients but new spices. Berber spice blend is *chefs kiss*
Ethiopian food is so underrated
I always want to try it. Seems yummy and spicy, also that interesting injera.
@@TommyCashLover420 injera is so good! It's a fermented dough pancake basically, so it tastes quite like sourdough bread but like, very sour almost lemon levels. But it compliments the earthy smokey spicey flavours and the natural sweetness of the veg so well.
Hi Beryl! Please do a delivery episode on Malaysian food if you can. Our amazing, diverse, complex cuisine landscape features so much more than just nasi lemak (which remains the national dish for a reason, but we have tonnes more to offer!).
PS: Aside from the infuriating Danish biscuit/sewing kit issue, I also grew up facing the always-disappointing ice cream tub/frozen fish issue, especially in my grandmother's kitchen! Shoutout to all my Southeast Asian friends who undoubtedly have the same trauma.
i second this!!! singaporean food as well; we have so many cultures so it would be nice to see beryl try them all! would love to see her eat kueh for dessert, i love ang ku kueh and i can’t find it here in the US 😢
Omg pleaseeee I'm a Malaysian in the US and I would love to take part in this!
Hahah yes! The ice cream tub 😂 in England my mum would always reuse those. Expect cookies and cream and get chilli 🤣
I was going to say Malaysian food as well. I'm not from there, but when I visited, I really enjoyed the rich food culture there.
Would be also good for Beryl to showcase Peranakan dishes. A subset of Malaysian cuisines.
I am German and my grandma used to keep not a sewing kit but Kinder Surprise Egg toys inside a danish butter cookie tin. Was really fun to rummage around in it as a child.
For anyone in Boston, MA I would highly recommend going to Turkish Lazuri Cafe. Great staff and DELICIOUS food! I loved this episode
One of my favourite cuisines! I’m very fortunate to be living in a Turkish populated neighbourhood so I have easy access to the food
I’ve only been to Turkey once, but I have always enjoyed Turkish food and I find the variety and diversity of this cuisine incredible! I’ve learned about several dishes today that I’d never heard of, and now I’m so keen to try them. Great video as usual Beryl, thank you! ❤
Hi Beryl! It would make me so happy to see Portuguese food in this series. I feel like it often gets mistaken or overshadowed by Spanish food, but we have so many interesting dishes and pastries that are their own unique kind. There's a lot of meat, but also a lot of fish/seafood in our diet. I'm a portuguese woman living in India, so there's also a lot of influence and similarities in Goan food as well.
Eggs are always in my fridge. If I am out of them I’m like I need to go to the store lol. I live in the US so I get Pete and Gerry’s eggs. They’re a B rated corporation so they’re third party certified good for the environment and their animals in their practices. I’m mostly vegan so that’s something I care about a lot. All their eggs are from pasture raised hens and they never used hormones for growth or antibiotics either. There’s something about a good source for animal products that makes the experience eating the products a little more ethical to me. Well that’s my tidbit, I hope y’all are having a great day!
Mostly vegan? So like vegetarian?
Would love to see Japanese, Korean, Mexican, Peruvian, Moroccan, Greek food featured!
I´m not a mom, but I put a lot of food on the fridge in yogurt containers, here in México we have that meme but what we usually find inside the yogurt or ice cream container are beans . Lol . And yes! of course I have a danish cookies tin with sewing supplies
Yess! Here in Brazil is very common to find beans too!
Your name is very Indian (sanskrit) like
@@forcehucos2429 yes, is not my birth name, but I know is sánscrit and what I means 😊✨💖
I feel less weird about the beans in the yogurt container thing.
In Morocco my mom used to put the sewing kit in a Quality Street chocolate box so yeah it is an international mum tradition :)
We had both tins the danish butter cookie one and quality street 🤣
Okay but those in the video are definitely on the big side, and while not uncommon in Turkey either, the whole "to fit 40 in a spoon" type is regarded as the holy grail type and is a speciality of the city mentioned in the video (Kayseri); they are hard to find outside Turkey as making them is incredibly labourious due to their tiny size. Taste-wise it is really the same though texture-wise slightly different. By the way, ideal grape leaf dolma is also to be the size of a lady's finger, though again, not easy to find outside Turkey as making them that thin and long is too much labour...
Back home we would make mücver whenever we prepared “dolma” that day. Great way to utilize the leftovers from coring vegetables like zucchini, eggplants, potatoes and tomatoes!
Turkish food is wonderful! So many cultural influences. I'd eventually love to see delivery videos of Ethiopian, Afghani, and Sri Lankan food--all cuisines I love. Really, any cuisine that interests you and the other viewers will interest me. 😊 Something purely vegan, or at least vegetarian, would be fantastic. Thanks for your fun, uplifting, and world-view expanding videos.👍
Ethiopian food🤤🤤🤤 allways makes me go Homer
Greek and Turkish foods are sooooo common, in so many ways! For example, in Greece is well known that if you open any moms refrigerator you will find frozen grape leaves, ready to be used for dolmas! Anyway, it will be great if you do a Greek food episode as well! Greek foods are many more that mousaka and souvlaki!
Mediterranean food is just the best 🇬🇷🇹🇷
Because we live 600 Years together lol :)
sorry my neighbor moussaka is a turkish food :DDDD
@@nadozp During the Ottoman Empire, the Greeks ruled for only 400 years. But Turks and Greeks have been living on the same land for 1000 years. lol :)
@@nadozp lan nado sen kivoyu takip etmiyor muydun
I loved this Turkish episode. Looking forward to more food adventures.
Great episode! Looking for cookies and finding sewing supplies truly is a universal experience lol. I'm loving this video series, it would be great to see one for Japanese cuisine!
Funny fact: In Brazil we have the same meme, but what we have in the ice cream box is frozen beans!
We also have Kibet here, we call it kibe or quibe and you can find it anywhere, supermarket, "lanchonetes"... very easy to find. It's a staple snack here.
Thats so interesting! I would assume it was brought over by lebanese immigrants?
Turkish food is my kind of food. Loving this!!!
Turkish lentil soup, cold white bean salad along with eggplant salad are musts. Manti is a great main course. The rice flour pudding with the burnt bottom is amazing. I grew up with a butter cookie sewing kit and also one that held buttons lol Oh 1 more Bulghur as a Turkish side is also a must
Oh my God, now I’m hungry and craving Turkish food!! This was great Beryl and guests. I lived in Turkey, and there were some dished I didn’t know about.
Hey Beryl! I think you should do a delivery episode for Bangladeshi food! I think often bengali food gets lumped in with indian food and many restaurants in NYC usually say bangla/indian/pakistani food, so its hard for most people to distinguish the food . I think bengali food is pretty different from your typical indian take out so I would be interested in seeing your take!
I would love to see a video with persian food because I know there are amazing persian restaurants in the US. It would be also a great way to shine light to the situation in Iran right now 🙏🏽
I've never had Turkish food, but everything here sounded delicious!
You should def try it 🫶🏼
Turkish food is reaaaally good you should def try it! I recommend Manti and Karniyarik! :)
@@ilayda4187 Thanks for the recommendations! I may have to try making those recipes myself because I'm pretty sure I don't have a Turkish restaurant nearby.
You are so lucky to have so many different types of foods from different countries available where you live.
Get Peruvian food! It's so distinctive. I'm not Peruvian but we have a sizable community in SoCal and I've had it. It's delicious, and unusual and I know you'll love it.
I second Toby: get Peruvian takeout, and order the causa! 😋 🇵🇪 🇵🇪 🇵🇪
I would love to see an African country represented in one of the delivery videos 😍 I love Ethiopian and Nigerian food personally!
Turkish cuisine is something I've always been inquisitive about. Speaking of which, künefe was definitely an element of revelation for me as I thought it was a classic middle eastern sweet dish.
I remember my mom used to keep the needles and threads inside a large round chocolate box very similar to the Danish biscuits box. Even the large Nivea Creme' box was her favourite. And the needle would deliberately be pinned on to the white thread roll :)
I always have pickled onions/cabbage and a cheese to go with it in the fridge… Yesterday I had this mind blowing chicken saffron pilav with raisins in it… Was the first time I made Pilav and we just devoured the whole casserole… didn’t even had to take out plates, my hubby went straight in the pot 😂❤ I got goosebumps when I heard Gulin her voice skip due to getting emotional about Manti and memories of her grandmother… I know the feeling all to well
Dolma is something that i wish i could eat 3 times a day 😭😭 it is sooo good
My grandma always had a butter cookie tin for her cookies. She raised me and sadly passed away a few months ago. I miss her so much! I forgot she used to do this. Thank you for reminding me of it 💜
Grandmas are just the best. Big hugs to you.
I had to laugh at the fear of running out of yogurt! I started making a large batch of yogurt (from a gallon of milk) about once every three weeks since the beginning of the pandemic. And I definitely have that feeling of urgency to make more when I see I am getting to the bottom of the container. So funny!
Not just a sewing kit in the Danish Butter Cookie tin, sometimes it would be really heavy… which meant you found your grandma’s button stash! 😂
I have fond memories of sorting & counting the various buttons I found
I love Turkish food! I wish my area had options for restaurants!
The danish cookie tin sewing kit seems to be universal and I'd love to see a study on why. My grandma did that when we moved to the states even though that would be the first time she'd seen them.
In Brazil the same thing happens with the ice cream tins… but inside there are frozen beans!
Same in Chile 😅
Beans! 🫘
I love this series! Other cuisines I’d like to see: Ethiopian, Sri Lankan, Laotian.
I'm Danish and I have never encountered a single cookie in of those tins I found at my relatives' houses! 😭 (even though they still smell like cookies after years of being empty)
Fun fact: The original Danish company who makes the cookies ships limited numbers to Japan where they are considered prized gifts and expensive treats, especially during Christmas time.
I used to work for a Danish company called Maersk in their US headquarters and we would get tons of those cookie tins around the holidays to give out to our customers, except we would eat most of them ourselves. I haven't worked there in ages but still love the cookies, especially the ones with the sugar crystals on top. So good with hot tea!
@@a697ag I love the sugar crystal ones.
I Love this series, it definitely gives me options to try other foods I normally wouldn’t!!
African food is finally getting easier to find where I live. I fell in love with many dishes that my friend learned from her Nigerian in laws. I am still learning about the food and culture but everything I have had is amazing. I would love to see what other people with first hand experience would recommend.
But which African food?
@@priscillad8 that is the part I think we would need help with. Nigerian is the only African Food that I have any experience with ...so not sure what is available in her area but I am sure that it is more than where I live in the Midwest 🙂
@@theresahoward7216 I think in New York there were several African countries, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Congo
@@priscillad8 There's also a Kenyan restaurant now in Newark.
@@rimun5235 oh cool, NY has everything you can imagine, right?
Loving the Death Cab sweater 😁 Fun episode, now I need to track down a local Turkish restaurant 🤤
Korean food would be cool! I don't have a lot of experience with Korean food other than the more well-known basics, and I'd love to learn more about it!
That's already done
Here in Brazil the meme is that when you open an ice cream pot from the freezer that you didn’t know was there, it’s usually cooked and frozen beans lol
So happy to see Turkish food! You should follow this up with Greece, as much as our food is practically the same as Greeks, you can distinct them from each other also Greek food is awesome and you cannot live without trying pastitsio and bougatsa.
i loved the food they've chosen! I'm Lebanese and we have same kinds of food : warak inab- kebbe- 3ejje with tahini sauce instead of yogurt- we have shishbarak similar to mante- and for sure knefe 😍😍😍😍😍 we don't have the dish with eggplant but I'm really interested to try it😍😍😍😍 I love your show thank you❤️❤️❤️
I've moved to another city for university and there are a few lebanese restaurants here. I'd like to go to one and I think I'd like it a lot because I've grown up with Turkish foods and lebanese seems to be similar.
I totally forgot about the sewing stuff in the round cookie tin! Wow, such a cool flashback. I can almost feel what it was like to pry the lid loose from the tin… and how it let out a little metallic rubbing sound before it popped off.
Thanks so much Beryl for showing some of my Countries' culinary gems!!
I've never had Turkish food before! Though everything you showed off today looked really good :D Thank you!
Totally relate to the sewing kit in Danish Butte Cookie Tins.
In Brazil, we always find beans in Ice Cream containers so whenever we wanted a cool summer treat we would get some frozen ( normally unseasoned ) beans instead 🤣🤣
It just popped into my head that those full bangs that graze just above the eyes would look sooo good on Beryl!
Anyway, I always always enjoy watching this channel. Beryl, your positive energy is so contagious 😆 Please keep spreading it around the world!
I love your personality and how open you are for new things, really appreciate your energy …greetings from Germany from a Turkish rooted guy :)
Hi Beryl!
Regarding ‘Dolma aka Yaprak Sarma’, I dont think the one you tasted cannot be good enough, since even in Turkey it is hard to find the good one in restaurants.
You should try to make by yourself deffinately!
Also you should know that ther are 2 types of sarma in Turkey ( w/out meat inside) . First is probably as you tasted, sweatness, spicer. Second one ( my fav) is actually made around Aegean side of Turkey ( İzmir) , with some herbs and that is it.
I would love to see you do a Taiwanese takeaway edition! I feel like Chinese takeout is an obvious option, and has SO much scope given China has so many distinct cultural/ethnic cuisines within it, but I rarely see Taiwanese food being featured on larger platforms such as your own channel!
so sweet. and i can tell how much that puppy is loved.
Wow, this looks so good! Unfortunately, the Turkish "restaurants" around my little German village only offer kebab, pide and lahmacun - but my husband has many Turkish colleagues, so he sometimes gets the chance to taste something he hasn't known before. I like cooking meals from foreign countries because I'm very curious about new tastes, but it's a little difficult to cook something without having any idea, what it's supposed to taste like.
May I suggest for your next food around the world episode that you do foods with rich histories? I live in Appalachia and a lot of our food has really cool stories behind it
Hey beryl, i would love to see you do dominican republic in this series! Since you live in new york, there's probably a lot of great options! Also, I had an idea for a video that i think would be cool; Immigrant food..like a favourite dish you discovered because you're an immigrant in a different country. For example I discovered my love for food from different asian cultures cause i moved to canada from dominican republic as a child. I think it would be cool to see! Love your channel and i hope you have an amazing day!
So true about the Danish butter cookie tin!! And my fridge is never without lemons!
In our refrigerator, the thing that can never be missing is Ranch Dressing. Suitable for chicken nuggets, fries, salad, tofu pieces, wraps/ sandwiches, and such. It is the one condiment of choice that replaces salsa, catsup, and mustard, as important.
Kunafe is a middle eastern masterpiece in my opinion. In my region it is made with goat cheese, to me it is the most delicious comforting dessert that exists . There is a great competition between restaurants and cooks whose is best, what a great dream job that would be to travel around sampling everyone’s version to decide and award the best kunafe!
I would love to see the episode on Greek food. It’s one of my favorite but I always seem to get the same thing
Hi Beryl, I have been for quite a longtime enjoying your channel, not only because of the genius unifying idea behind it, its simplicity of showing we are so much more connected as seperated, but also because of your thruthfulness and great personality, which seems to lay in your family!!!:) anyway, it is so exciting to see your journey of discovery. I have been noticing it already for many years travelling and living around the world; there are so many similarities in dishes around the world that makes you ask, arent we not really a big family? This episode was a special one in many ways in this regard. You had Dulma, or Dolme or any one of the other names, taking the same dish, wine leaf wrap, from Portugal east to Gujarat India and south to Subsaharian Africa in every country. Then, you had also Mante, also known as Mantu, in every country in Asia including ex soviets Union countries, south Korea, Afghanistan and even eastern Iran. You also had the creamy eggplant dish. As you recognized similar to Baba Ganush in all Arabic, north African countries and Israel. But also quite similar to Mirza Ghasemi from Caspian Sea region of Iran, and many other names in Indian and other Asian cuisines. Recipies migrates as humans do. You can even observe the way of migration based on way of preparation of some basic stocks, such as rice. We know that Rice strarted its journey from China in two ways. One way from the north over land, and that is why all Asian countries up to Iran cook rice more or less in the same way, by washing and covering with water, yet each with different finesse. The other way over sea through African and Arabs sea trader. That is also the explanation of why Turks, Arabs, European and north Africans sweat the rice first in oil before adding water. You also can see the same journey from Tea. From the north called Chai, from the south China, called Tea, even based on the two different dilects, or rather languages, in the south and north China. These two are foodstocks migrating west. There are also two stocks who travelled around the world and created similar recipes eastwards; Tomatos and Potatoes, both globalized by colonialization of south America.
Watched this. Got a recipe. Made manti. YUM! Thanks for more eye opening yumminess 😋
What's always in my fridge is hummus :) That's a new thing in the last 5 years. Less meat more veggies and more beans.
I'm literally Danish and I have NEVER in my 32 years of living found a single cookie in the tins I've found at my families houses! 😭 How has this part of my culture become so widespread? 😂🇩🇰
I can confirm though that they are delicious! (after purchasing them myself)
Lmao the Danish cookie tin... so true
Thanks for showing this cuisine, Beryl and guests (drooling from the dessert, reminiscing on that goodness when I tried it)
I love these videos, they have introduced me to some food/cultures that have intrigued me. I would love to see Spain, Portugal, Egypt... Just keep going👍
👋 Turkish food sounds good , the ice cream tin reminds me of the cookie metal containers & all we would find is sewing supplies 😂🤣
I would luv to see you order Indonesian food... It is such a diverse array of textures and tastes, I think you'll love it 😍
We don’t really have Turkish food in my hometown. But I’m on assignment in Boston and found a place that has all of this, and I am so excited to try it! Especially kunefe… I saw that on a travel channel and have been wanting to try it ever since.
I’d love to see one of these featuring Somali food 🤤
Yoghurt makes everything better! ❤
Oh my gosh. I love seeing Asha's little face in the corner of the video, haha! So cute!
I think Hawaiian food would be a cool episode.
being from the appalachian area you got sewing kits in cookie tins, screws in empty coffee cans, and the empty butter/cool whip container was always your form of tupperware. if you knew how many times i opened a shedspread container to find it was soup, chili, or metaloaf lol. also them empty pickle jars was your good drinking cups lol.
What about the bag of bags?
What part of Appalachia? I have lived in many places and am curious where you come from.
@@a697ag Always need them, especially with the little ones around. What part are you from in Appalachia?

I love international foods and have eaten many of them. But watching this episode made me realize that I have not had true Turkish food. On a mission to find some in Miami, FL!
By the way, Berkan's eyes are mesmerizing!
My mom always kept her sewing tools in a Danish Butter Cookie tin. Now I use it!
Can I suggest Lebanese cuisine too?
Yessss! Lebanese/Syrian cuisine is top notch!
Beryl I love your videos. Pleaseee, can you do somenthing for the sound?
I heard all the slurping and chewing in this video
