I love that Beryl husband is Indian but that she didn't use that as an "excuse" to talk about a culture that is not the one she is born and raised into. I think she very well knows A LOT about indian culture and traditions and food but she decided not to say "well you know, my husband is indian so i know things" but she was like "here are some amazing indiand chefs etc cause what do i know". That is what respect for other cultures is like and that's the way you show how much you appreciate that culture without appropiating (is this a proper word? i don't know, but u guys get it I hope) it. Well done Beryl, love your channel and your content so much! Baci (means kisses) from Italy!

[@karinec.2131]

Yes! I respect that:)

[@MT-zm1yb]

Yes you nailed it

[@aayansh3919]

Yes correctly put!

[@vandanalopes9661]

yes yes yes!! that's what I love about beryl

[@iamdanyboy1]

That is some BS that only White Western PostModernists can make. All this not born into a culture means I can't talk about it is stuff that makes no sense when you have white Indophiles that know way more about certain Indian traditions than brown Indian kids in cities. This is just a fact of life. It's nothing abnormal or appropriating(another BS word). Especially Indians get triggered when people talk about cultural appropriation.. We want literally everyone to try and do things Indian. That's why we swarm comment sections talking about Indian food and customs . We love sharing it.

[@emmagerwig5896]

I am a white American who is a nanny to an Indian family who also happen to be fully vegan, both kids included. They have taught me so much about Indian food, so I didn’t actually learn anything from the video because I basically have it all already in my house now. I think Indian food is the best food in the world, and their spices are just insane. Because of them, I eat way more lentils, including idli dosa sambhar with toor dal and urad dal. I have learned the difference between many of these lentils and how to cook them, and if anyone is wanting to eat more lentils in a super delicious way, just look up Indian recipes(you prob will have to buy a bunch of spices. (Cumin seeds,jeera) mustard seeds, haldi or turmeric, dahnia or coriander powder, spicy red chili powder or Kashmiri lal mirch powder and a few others that are just the basics. Also having a pressure cooker is vital when cooking lentils or they will take hours depending on the type. I think it’s so cool that beryl is married to an Indian which gives her so much exposure to Indian cuisine because it is actually a big deal in India. And EVERYTHING is homemade other there. Like if you were going to make everything from scratch like how many do in India, you would literally be in the kitchen all day, which is why it’s super common in India to have a cook, because it’s very cheap actually.

[@bluenred]

Its not common to hire a cook in India expect for super rich people. And It does not take hours to prepare any regular Indian food , atleast for Indians. Its foreigners who are usually slower in cooking indian food, as it take them time to understand and learn it. Things that take hours for foreigners to prepare and cook, Indians can usually do within minutes, especially if they cook regularly.

[@itsgonnabeanaurfromme]

​@@bluenredthat's ridiculous. Why making it about race? It will take faster to cook something IF YOU KNOW HOW TO COOK IT PROPERLY. saying indians can cook it faster is so stupid and racist. And no, lentils will never take minutes to cook. You clearly know nothing about cooking or indian culture.

[@Tintifee]

When travelling I always take time to go to large supermarkets. I refer to them as *Museums Of Daily Life*. I absolutely love doing that. They give you such a big insight into the local culture. The only sad thing I noticed over the past years that due to globalisation a lot of supermarkets in very different countries started selling the same brand items. It feels like loosing parts of their identity to me...

[@cherryday7528]

[@tarren452]

100% the same! It is a fascinating window into the differences everywhere!

[@14guptamayank]

I totally agree... Grocery stores are the museums of life... And when u live in a city with so much of diversity.. For eg: London or NYC or Toronto or SF or Sydney where you have so many nationalities and their own neighbourhoods - a visit to grocery stores is a whole different experience altogether... For instance... I live in toronto in an area which is a cross between Asian and Indian neighbourhoods... It's always interesting to see local grocery stores that how one Indian store keeps some items of the Asian groceries and vice versa... And how even other nationalities visit them just to even try new thing that they never knew existed...

But I think we Indians ourselves forget to explore a lot of other state food.

Absolutely right! I recently discovered gavvalu from Andhra and kodubale from karnataka and wondered where these things have been hiding all my life. TN Ribbon pakoda and seedai are great too and so are north india's bhujia and Kolhapuri bhadang (a spicy dry bhel - similar to Kerala mixture)

Bitter gourd is one of my all time favorite vegetables and here is my mother's recipe for you. Peal the outer bitter undulated skin, soak in salt water as you do, cut in half or thirds, split, remove the insides and seeds. Next finely chop or dice, keep in salt water. Now in a hot pan add oil, splatter a pinch of cumin seeds, one finely chopped onion cook till translucent - golden, 1/4th spoon turmeric, chilli powder, salt. Can finish off with chopped cilantro/coriander. Serve with chapati (whole heat flat bread). A recipe good enough for 3 to 4 small to medium size bitter gourd. There are also some other amazing Indian recipes for stuffed butter gourd, you might wanna check those out too. Love from India!

[@Vera-kh8zj]

interesting!

[@trusfratedbunny2215]

Peel outside skin, Soaking in Salt water (+ remove the seeds & inside skin) remove all it's bitterness which kills the purpose along with health benefits completely of the veggie i.e, Bitterground!

Patra is made from the leaves of a vegetable named arbi. The leaves are cut vertically long and the paste of soaked white urad dal(LENTIL) with some spices in it is to be spreaded on the leaves and then the leaves are rolled out and deep fried... Even the vada is made from that dal(lentil) paste

[@indianjanesmith]

It's besan paste actually, not urad dal. Patra in both Gujarat and Maharashtra (alu vadi) uses besan..not sure where u saw urad dal paste wala patra 🤷‍♀️

[@indianjanesmith]

And the leaves are not cut. The spiced besan mixture is spread on the whole leaves which are then layered on top of each other, rolled, steamed, then cut, then fried (optional). At least, this is how Gujarati patra and Maharashtrian alu vadi is made. Source: I am from Mumbai and cook both cuisines

I appreciate her pointing to some Indian chefs and vloggers. But she doesn't need to acknowledge anything for nothing she had done. She has ancestry from Eastern Europe and no "White" Eastern European has ever caused any damage to the Indian Subcontinent (Bharat). She could be white, black, brown, yellow and she must not need any permission from anyone to talk about Indian culture or cuisine. I know there are insensitive people out there who don't respect other cultures but an average person shouldn't be obliged to acknowledge every time they involve in things of "other" cultures.

Beryl this is high key one of my favourite video types - love supermarket tours in general but especially loved that you showed how you use the things you buy, would so love to see more of these for the other places you shop. (And 1. I love bitter gourd so really hope one of the recipes changes your mind hehe 2. A sabudana video would be really cool because in China/hk it’s a sweet thing not savoury, we eat with like a sweet coconut soup)

[@incubusk8r]

yep we have it sweet as well. just like rice pudding, we just use sabudana instead of rice.

Your content is JUST what I’ve been looking for!! Love the grocery store episode and would definitely watch more like it :)

[@jacquiwmch]

The supermarket video is an awesome idea, I would love to see people's favourite items from around the world. It makes up for the isolation and yet sharing that covid has afforded us❤️

[@MelvisVelour]

A shopping episode has the makings of becoming a legend, sign me up - I can take you to my favorite Arabic grocery here in Fort Worth.

[@littlecrookedhouse]

Used to live in Arlington. I miss the big Asian supermarket. Is it still there? I'd love to see your Arabic grocery cos I love that cuisine.

[@MelvisVelour]

Are you referring to HMart? I went but preferred the one in Austin

This is a cool vlog! I'd love to see you going to other international grocery stores, perhaps in Queens/Jackson Heights or Flushing?

[@preeti_prasad]

Can I just say, I lOVED this video! I love love love the things you picked up - pav bhaji is my absolute favourite, colocasia leaves and the root are my fave, plus upma and sabudana are super underrated but delicious breakfast foods! I love your videos, keep doing you, its awesome to learn more about how differnent and yet how similar we all are around the world!! (HUGS!)

Beryl I really loved this. Thank you!! I love Indian markets but don't know the first thing about most of the things that i'm seeing. This gives me a bit of an open door into trying a few things and understanding different categories of other things.

Love this video 😍 if you salt your bitter gourd and leave for 15 minutes then squeeze out the excess water, it’s not that bad. We fry it with onions, garlic and hot pepper here in Trinidad. It’s delicious 😋

[@vandanalopes9661]

I'm so happy that you made this video, I love the representation, and that you're introducing people to Indian cuisine

In the mid west we have a magical small grocery store chain, Cermak. It's amazing, they have aisles upon aisles of different countries/cultures foods, every week I give myself one one impulse purchase to try out something new, sometimes I'm not quite sure what it is, but generally turns out to be delicious. Cheers!

I'm going to the Indian grocery store this weekend. I'm not a great cook like you, I'm picking up some naan, samosa, and Indian frozen dinners.

[@14guptamayank]

There are lot of really basic Indian recipes which anyone can make at home... U don't have to be a cook for that... Even my 9 Yr old niece makes some of them... They are very homely taste and not a lot of spices ... Let me know if u want the recipe

[@seanostalgia]

Beryl, you're like the ultimate role model. And I'll aways look forward to your videos. I loved the cultural adventure you just took us on, even to a grocery store. I agree. It can be nerve wracking going to an international supermarket. I absolutely love going to the Asian market. its like going to a gift shop and seeing so many things you never knew existed. And I learned a lot from this video.

When Beryl told she hates BITTERGOURD AKA KARELA it hit me hard as even I and my brother hate it to the core.
