Basil in desserts sounds very weird but I'm sure it must taste good. I enjoyed watching this

[@GorellJeff]

Hello there beautiful how are you doing today? I hope you're having a great and beautiful new year, ❤🎈 may this year be brings you good health wealth and joy Amen 🙏 do you think we could be friends?

[@Azikiel2602]

I’ve had basil and lemon gelato in Rome on a hot summer’s day. Let me tell you, there’s almost nothing better.

[@markawe1712]

The apple strudel, gelato and chocolate gateux cake are my favorite. Otherwise I enjoyed watching all the deserts. They all look delicious.

[@jaimeortega4940]

Getting your authentic German "Blackforest Cherry" cake popped looks like a good idea same for the Strudel.

[@red1948]

Macaron is toooo sweet

[@GorellJeff]

[@kristinamariearthur8252]

Black Forest cake does it anytime for me and nothing beats gelato ❤

[@kevinfed668]

Will have to fight you for the black forest cake. Heard you have been stealing all my black forest cakes.

[@sulis7997]

Would like to try apple strudel, gelato and black Forest cake, yummy

[@ericpmoss]

I think you will be very happy when you get a good example of each. And VERY happy if you get to spend a vacation searching. :)

[@fee4900]

You have never tried a Apple strudel, oh wow. They are pretty good. Apple pie is a little better but Apple strudel is good.

[@fee4900]

If you like cherries then a black forest cake is for you.

[@dougcargill6730]

I absolutely love the German in Italy.

[@r-labs9357]

Whenever I see a black forest cake I keep thinking of that Portal game

[@FireRaptor100]

I have tried all of them and loved them. In Cologne Germany I also tried very good chocolates.

[@croitor2009]

So Europe is..Western Europe.

[@Sarah84232]

Il y a la suite partie 2 et 3 sur d'autres pays d'Europe.

[@Henkka2801]

I think there are different parts to this series. I have seen at least another one. Maybe there will be more different countries 🤔

[@FlavourFool]

I'd love them all! Really hard to choose... maybe the gateaux

[@user-qm4gp3gl5d]

I can't help but eating them!!

[@lolis2016]

Extremadamente delicioso. Un cordial saludo desde Chihuahua México.

[@kscptv]

Yum 😋

[@mistrzyoda87]

It's very nice that in practically every video you see Europe as the old European Union :) And where is Central Europe and the Balkans?

[@DESSERT_X]

Yum yum yum! :)

[@aao5979]

Baklava is a legendary from Türkiye. If you knew how it was made, how much work it took and how it made 40 layers of dough and how it spread to countries under the Ottoman Empire, you would put it at the top of the list.

[@RatFacedJasper]

It's bizarre that you think complexity and effort means you should have to put something at the top of a list of sweet treats. If how difficult something is too make had any impact on whether people enjoy it or not, surely New York and Chicago would be fighting over who makes the best lasagne instead of pizza.

[@michaelibk418]

I eat a lot of Baklava, my Turkish mates bring it to work occasionally. I like it but it's not my favorite. For my taste it is way to sweet, I only like it with less sugar and honey.

[@___beyondhorizon4664]

I tried it twice, too sweet for me. I prefer Turkish ice cream

[@lunayen]

​@@michaelibk418 Aren't you supposed to eat it with tea?

[@michaelibk418]

@@lunayen You are right that tea is the most popular hot drink in Turkey, I drink my tea without sugar so maybe taste of Baklava is less sweet I don't know. Traditional Turkish Teal is also with a lot of sugar so it remains very sweet:-) Nevertheless i like Baklava but not that sweet.

[@RoyalMela]

Finland makes a run for it with Runebergin torttu.

[@lucydratva4884]

English tea time and Black forest cake is my preference.

[@anadventfollower1181]

I want em all

[@fee4900]

French macrons are my absolute favorite treat. These are the best cookie i have ever had. I want to learn how to make this cookie badly.

[@jennystrandqvist1568]

Take two sugar-cubes, put a thin layer of flavored jelly between them: done.

[@kannansubram]

Did anything whet my appetite? Everything did!

[@sun131089]

Tiramisu is d best dessert period

[@HojatKarimi-xv5rv]

What about yazdi candy?

[@hussienalsafi1149]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@sitasurjitkalair8371]

😋

[@PedroDuqueBR]

The best one was left out: pastel de Belém.

[@krispykruzer]

Macaron FTW

[@user-en8vp6fc9f]

tiramisu? Belgian waffles? crema catalana? portuguese egg tart? affogato?

[@fashiondiva99]

All of these looo good except for the apple strudel. Not a fan sadly.

[@fee4900]

Im a huge fan of a great French macron everytime.

[@MikeSenger]

mmmm... Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte

[@carveratutube]

Actually, I am not a big fan of Macarons 🤷‍♀️

[@matildabe5088]

Me too 😅 Nothing special, just looking very cute.

[@netcoffee]

where is Polish - Ptasie Mleczko?! :D

[@monkmind6121]

French are best dessert n pastry chefs. Belgian chocolate best .

[@lingo4048]

1:10 ze FR word macaron comes from ze IT maccarone, which in turn comes ze GR μακαρία. it means flour + water.

[@jennystrandqvist1568]

Maccarons are not for me, the only once I know asks for them is old people. Everyone else only eats them if there basically nothing else. In my experience. The rest seems lovely, although I would think of Greek ice cream before Italian.

[@RobertSmith-up9rz]

What?!

[@user-su6qb6gx9h]

Anahata charkra ( green ) = all plant based ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@omarmehio7800]

You forgot swiss chocolate 😮😮

[@user-su6qb6gx9h]

Cow ( devill toxic ) = devill degree = all out out out ❤❤❤❤

[@mm-gi5mx]

Kick out the macaron, pure snobbery and tastes like nothing.

[@theworldaccordingtokirsch]

I guess you have never eaten a freshly made macaron? Not the rubbish you can buy in supermarkets. 🍒
