To get out beet stains soak it in milk

[@bravoalley228]

I am just curious.. With the last dish, I noticed that you ate it using your hand. Is that how it is meant to be eaten or something that you may have borrowed from your husband's culture?

[@missy13d69]

The WHITE shirt, that says "You Can't Outrun The Inevitable", getting splashed with beet juice, is probably the most apropos thing I've ever seen. I snort laughed.

[@sallycormier1383]

Exactly what I thought! Lol😂

[@jschwab27]

And I thought, instead of it saying "Bad news travels fast," it should be "beet juice travels fast"

[@calipigeon]

TRUTH 😂

[@esther_margolis]

I never served beets at home because I was afraid of staining things, but then one of my daughter in laws told me it comes right out in the wash! easier to wash out than stains from fruit or many other foods.

[@eleonorazampilli245]

Fruit and vegetable stains are quite easy to wash if you soak them in cold water and soap, wash in cold water and hang out to dry in direct sunlight. Also hydrogen peroxide is very effective (watch out for dark fabrics, they may fade)

[@Jeanelleats]

I’ll run your ube extract empty once I visit 😂😂😂 PS YOUR HAIR LOOKS AMAZING

[@foodiefoodie2131]

In Botswana there is a meal we call 7 colours. The name comes from how on one plate there will be 7 different colours from different sides on the plate such as butternut side orange, beetroot purple , and more. Usually eat 7 colours at weddings, get togethers and more. There has to be Seswa which is like a pulled beef and is unique to the Botswana. 7 colours is also done in South Africa im not sure about Zimbabwe, Zambia and Namibia

With all the stuff Beryl bought in the last few years, I think she should do an episode where she can re-use them again! She could tell us "Ok I've got this and this and this in my house, give me some new recipes so I can use them!". That way the ube flavoring won't be left sitting in her pantry for too long lol

[@BerylShereshewsky]

I’ve done that with a few! My pork floss and rice paper episodes!

[@ivy_inferno]

@@BerylShereshewsky Ohhhh yah I remember now that you are talking about it lol I watched so many videos on your channel that I totally forgot about that 😅 Well, in the future it would be cool so watch other videos like that again!

[@maeannengo4908]

​​@@BerylShereshewsky I hope you saw the suggestions for squid ink and bagoong fish paste Edit: Since you used packets of squid ink in this video, does this mean the Jar of squid ink you bought before has gone bad?

Oh yes, more of that! 😅

[@lesmercredis]

I bought that exact same bottle of ube extract for an ube birthday cake. I used a third of the bottle. Afterwards, I put that ube extract in every dessert I made: cheesecake, puto, tres leches, pan de sal, white chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, etc. That little bottle last me about a year.

[@FernandoCantuba]

Hi Beryl, just so you know - dry taro leaves are available in Filipino stores. You'll need to clean them first by washing with water and then drain before cooking.

[@qryzkrozhearth5377]

Lol my thoughts exactly after watching this vid.

[@phatsmurf575]

I used to use those dry ones until I started growing my own taro. I soaked it in water at least twice to get a lot of that smell I don't like😂 Man, it's time I made some ginittaan aba again.💚

[@qryzkrozhearth5377]

@@phatsmurf575 well for Taro leaves newly dried ones are always recommended but if you do not have those, store bought is fine, but yeah need thorough washing.

[@jenniferhogan7347]

Hey Beryl! I work for an amazing dry cleaner here in southeast Alabama. Take your T-shirt to your local cleaners! Tell the counter lady that the tiny stain is beet juice, and they'll most likely be able to remove it. For less than a $10 investment, you'll get your shirt back in near mint condition, and you'll be helping support a nearly extinct(usually family owned) small business. I love your personality and your videos always make me smile 💯

[@mercedesvelasquez8781]

Damn Alabama charges so little because knowing she is in New York that state most likely charges the same dumb prices as California unless you are willing to travelling to the ghetto to find a good deal

[@kestrelhawkins8728]

The Ube extract is actually pretty delightful. I use it in some things I would use vanilla in. Try it in other things like pancakes. It's so good!

[@summerf3022]

“It’s hard to have a cape without trying to flourish yourself” 😂😂😂😂🦸‍♀️ omg I love you!! Also Jeannelle on your channel, eeeeeeek!!!! Two of my absolute favorites combined!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@maya-gracefidow-magele]

What I love about the Pacific islands is we share alot of aspects of culture and a big one is food. As Shayla said, the same dishes vary not only across the nations but also on our islands themselves and from household to household. Taro, cassava and taro leaves are massive staples of all of our cultures. Either way, Rourou is always delicious. In Samoa we call the dish Palusami or Lu'au! Love our friendly Fijian neighbours ❤️.

[@year.of.darren]

Awesome! In Guam, we call this dish hagun suni!

[@ddori-dk]

Hey Beryl! You can add crushed walnuts in Pembe Sultan which makes it extra delicious and crunchy!

[@kimkimsan]

Beryl dislikes walnuts though...😬

[@jacers14]

Ube❤ Also Rourou looks like a Filipino dish called Laing which is Taro leaves cook in coconut milk.

[@imaginativeskydadytm1389]

Kabayan, I was looking for this comment, we called it natong in bicol.

[@ylw]

Also found in Malay cuisine, but using cassava (tapioca) leaves!

You can just put the Ube Extract in Cakes and Pancakes - so you will use it up.

[@hannahcomia]

love the different backgrounds matching the color of the dish when you try it!

[@BerylShereshewsky]

Yesssss so glad you noticed!! 😝😝

[@adedow1333]

I just made the Pembe Sultan. OMGosh it was so good! I had some beautiful big beats from the store which I peeled under running water so my hands didn't stain, wrapped in foil and roasted until knife-tender. Boy, when I added the yogurt it turned such a gorgeous deep fuchsia! And it was so delicious! Its forgiving too as every beet is a different size. I had to add more yogurt, but two cloves of garlic was just right. Sweet, tangy, umami, just glorious ❤. Thank you for this recipe!

[@melikeaysegurgen8184]

I am so glad I got to see this comment, it made my day! I’m happy you enjoyed it, next time please try putting some crushed walnuts in it, you’ll like it even more. 🌸🌼

[@CharleneOcampo13]

I recommend trying to make ube pandesal to use up your ube extract! It pairs nicely with jams like ube halaya, and mild cheeses like white goat's cheese, cream cheese, or even plain ole' American slices. The normal ones are kind of like sweet Hawaiian rolls with a bread crumb coating, very good for both savory and sweet. We often eat it in the mornings dipped in coffee or hot choco. I use it a lot for pizza toasts, too.

[@memorycelle]

Wow, congrats on the PBS show, that's so great!

[@Brwngrlgthc]

Fiji!!! 🇫🇯 I love seeing the food I grew up with highlighted. Taro leaves are ridiculously delicious and you can find a different variety of taro leaf at Vietnamese grocery stores. If you cook with taro leaves, please please please cook it down well! Like even when you think it's cooked down enough, cook it down even more! Lol

[@maeannengo4908]

Beryl, Filipinos use Taro Leaves and Coconut Milk too to make Laing. I love learning about similar-ish dishes across different countries especially from different continents ❤

[@sjohn228]

You can find taro leaves in a West Indian or Caribbean market. There, it is called Dasheen leaves, or sometimes Callaloo. The texture is slightly different from spinach, and the green is darker.

[@ShaylasImagination]

Aaah I'm so glad you enjoyed the dish! 🥰 Thank you so much for this video! I had a lot of fun sharing about Rourou and seeing all the comments about similar dishes! I'd love to try Laing like many people have mentioned here. It is so fun seeing all the other colourful dishes as well and I can't wait to try them myself 😄😄

[@tennisCharlzz]

@BerylShereshewsky It must feel strange to hear a hurricane named Beryl since the name isn't common! You're much better than a hurricane!

[@TheMimiSard]

I have family with the name Beryl, and they felt it was a tad odd.

[@Karasus_drug_dealer]

I was thinking the same thing all week

[@berylwootton1181]

Weird time to be Beryl, for sure

[@tennisCharlzz]

@@berylwootton1181 The good news is they try to avoid repeating hurricane names, so much like hurricanes, it will pass (unless it becomes a Katrina, but hopefully not!).

[@randomaccount6387]

I love that the beetroot splashes landed right next to the word "inevitable" on the shirt.inevitable indeed.

[@TheMimiSard]

Add in some peaflower tea and you could have blue as well. The downside is it can't have any acid added, or it will turn purple-to-pink. Natural blue is very PH sensitive. The tea also tastes like peas and grass.

[@TheMimiSard]

The green of the rourou reminds me of my green soup. It is actually a very simple soup where one puts whatever vegetables one has, in a pot of chicken stock, simmer until squishy, and add one stick blender. This method works for any veg, and is a simple way of using frozen veg, but the green version is a bag of frozen broccoli and cauliflower, some onion, and spinach. The spinach really kicks up the green.

[@TheMimiSard]

Vacuum sealed rice is so... blocky. My favourite brand of sushi rice is vacuum packed.

[@TheMimiSard]

The limestone strikes me as maybe being a calcium source.

[@TaLeng2023]

Yeah, I can't usually stand the leafy beany taste of butterfly pea tea. I usually use it with milk so I can pretend I'm just drinking blue soy milk. Sometimes I just add some vanilla.

[@Fehren_Hi]

The taro paste, is a similar traditional staple from Hawai'i called pa'i'ai (puuh-eee-uh-ai) then water is kneaded to make poi. The taro root is steamed, peeled, hand pounded like mochi , but instead of using a stone bowl and wooden hammer, we use a wooden plank with an indentation, like a shallow bowl. And a stone pounder. So awesome to see how taro is prepared around the world.

[@denvercuss4583]

Petition for Beryl to go on the Off Menu podcast! That would be such a fantastic conversation.

Beet tip! Boil skin on, pour on cold water from the tap, and the skin peels off just using your hands 💜

Yes, that's how its done in Canada, we eat beets here regular. beet juice doesn't stain.

Hi Beryl, love your show, watching this morning with mom. Hint for handling beets: put a sieve in the sink and carefully open the package or can there, rinse the extra juice off, then transfer to wherever needed. Trust me, I've been dappled in pink for years. ;-)

[@Valeria__2604]

Crni rizot is one of my favorite foods ever, it's soooo tasty and creamy. Every time i go back home to Croatia, that's the first thing i order :D

In the Philippines, we have a taro leaf dish cooked in spices and coconut milk too! It’s called Laing and it’s honestly so delicious. I love watching these videos and learning about the cultural crossovers or even just how different cultures use the same ingredients to make their own unique takes.

[@adrigon]

Taro was like most satisfying pimple pop vid ever! Love watching you discover African limestone. Tripe is intestines, not stomach lining. Stomach lining is smooth and chewy. Between taco trucks and Korean BBQ, I'm fairly confident in this

[@kathrinlancelle3304]

You should make Labskaus. It was extremely popular in the Hanseatic league port cities of Hamburg, Luebeck and Bremen in Germany. There is a kind of hash comprised of mostly potatoes and jarred red beets. The latter gives this a very bright, red wine color. Additionally there is a fried egg, a pickled herring and some gherkins. Look it up and see what you think.

[@malice41414]

You have to cook tripe for a long time or like you said, in a pressure cooker. I love Mexican menudo and make it often so I know how it was in the beginning, how rubbery tripe can be if not cooked long enough. 😅 Great video!
