[@cel2460]

I hope someone else said this but just in case they haven't, i think the similarities between roti bandung and hagelslag is due to the fact that sprinkles (and the tradition of putting sprinkles on toast) is a relic of Dutch influence in Indonesia. I mean, the concept of eating bread itself came from the dutch, and the Indonesian word for sprinkles came from a variation of hagelslag called muisjes (meses in Indonesian). So the indonesian copying the dutch to eat bread with sprinkles might makes sense. Side note: Also the Indonesian wikipedia page on "meses" said that in the beginning the Indonesians saw how the Dutch eat bread with hagelslag and muisjes, but since Indonesians can't pronounce hagelslag, the whole concept of "sprinkles" got generalized into "muisjes" and in time turn into "meses" to reflect the Indonesian pronounciation.

[@sandyamaulana2317]

I second you, brother. Great addition.

[@vishnu4234]

Roti means bread commonly in India too, though this differs from common baked bread. Roti in general means a flatbread but it can be used as a suffix to mean bread.

[@nyanyan3503]

I third this

[@cel2460]

@@vishnu4234 That makes sense! This is a hot take but the etimology of "roti" may came from hindi/sanskrit either through old malay or old javanese. Maybe in the past "roti" means something like the "roti" in India (flatbread) and have the same usage, but since yeasted bread is more prevalent after the 20th century, the word changed meaning (from flatbread to yeasted bread) but still retain it's multifunctional purpose. Hence why even now the word in Bahasa Indonesia can also be used as suffix for something (e.g. roti bandung, a type of dish; roti pratha, indian paratha; roti kismis, bread with raisins)

[@vishnu4234]

@@cel2460 Bahasa (Indonesia)= Language = Bhasa (India/Sanskrit) Raisins are called kismis here also.

Not quite the same thing as milk toast, but in my family we dip buttered toast in hot cocoa. You dip it in long enough for the toast to just become a little soft. My grandpa used to always give it to me and my sister whenever we came over and my dad grew up with it as a kid. Me and my sister actually have matching tattoos of a little mug and a plate of toast in honor of our grandpa and how synonymous with familial love it is for us. It's my ultimate comfort food

[@iCanbEYOURrUKIA]

Mmm sounds like something we've snacked on in my house. Best bits are the soaked crumbs in the bottom 😋

[@hederahelix4600]

Yes! We used to do this too. buttered bread or buttered toast with hot cocoa is one of the most comforting things to me and also reminds me of Christmas because that was the only time in the year we splurged and bought butter instead of margarine. Thanks for reminding me. :-)

[@iluvzurara2]

I do that all the time! Lol idk how ppl DONT dip buttered toast in hot chocolate !!

[@tinahochstetler2189]

That's always been a favorite of mine. Everybody else is dipping dry, crunchy, too sugary oreos in cold chocolate milk. I'm over here with my hot buttered toast, dipping in hot chocolate. 😋 No offense intended to the chocolate milk and oreos fans. Chocolate almond milk is my favorite drink. And I do the oreos sometimes too. But toast and hot chocolate is a little piece of heaven.

[@jessicaaye3738]

I used to love that as a kid and actually taught my daughter how to eat it which she does every morning before school. She loves when it's so soaked that the bread falls in. I'm not a fan of that.

[@Rachelle660]

You're right! My family just always kept our butter in the refrigerator so growing up, I'd always toast the bread so the cold butter wouldn't destroy the slice of bread 😂

[@annevankins7145]

Agreed, in my opinion the hagelslag is supposed to give crunch to the soft fluffy bread!!

[@RosesAndIvy]

But then it wouldn't be toast, just a boterham

[@magnoliamoonbloom6473]

I'm obsessed with the toast with tuna, tomato paste & olives. I put avocado on top...sooooooo good!!!

[@StinaBaby1221]

Thanks for making quarantine feel less quarantiney.

[@Hoid.]

I actually also eat milk with bread! It comes from my Tunisian mother, when we have stale bread, she breaks it up, covers it with warmed milk and adds honey. It's delicious 😋 (the Maltese toast is also something eaten in Tunisia as a sandwich)

[@ivamll3814]

HI From Philippines!. I put sweet spaghetti sauce to a bread and put it in an oven .. topped with cheese and or egg !

[@kellymarieoconnorful]

I love how much coverage you give to Netherlands cuisine 🤣

[@bethanya99]

Oh my gosh! My grandmother would have milk toast before bed to help her sleep! She was born in 1929 in Riga Michigan.

[@Becks-and-books]

You got to try the Swedish "räkmacka" or "prawn sandwich": Toast white bread, add a layer of butter and mayonaise on it, then a lettuce leaf, then sliced hard boiled eggs, a lot of prawn, fresh dill, and a wedge of lemon that you squeeze over it (some put the mayo on after the sallad, but that's a personal choice). The mayo and egg with the prawn, and the toast is just... woah! We even have a saying around it that basically is "slide in on a prawn sandwich" which is basically "born with a silver spoon in your mouth" :)

[@jessicaperkins1024]

I was looking for inspiration for a Friday fish/seafood dinner (Lent). And I was settled on one thing until I watched the Malta toast piece. It’s what’s for dinner tonight! That looks amazing!!

[@jennymeacham6539]

Hi, Beryl! I have to say that I just recently found you and I’m just so warmed and joy-filled watching your channel. I’ve been binging, but trying to go slow so I don’t run out of videos! It’s so relaxing and soothing and I have teared up watching several of these, incredibly moved by the demonstration of community and respect. I love seeing so many beautiful cultures, people, and cuisines represented and look forward to your window into the world growing larger! I’m current sitting here eating the Hobz Biz Zejt and it is simply stunning. The flavors are so beautiful and I was mindful of each component as I made the dish and and it brought me such peace. It is now and forever going into my favored recipes. Thank you for presenting all of these dishes, opening our eyes, and bringing so many together. You are truly a light and I’m thankful to have run across your work.

[@WordsofaReader]

I already love learning about different cultural foods from your channel but I really loved learning about milk toast today. Would love a series on forgotten foods. ♥️

[@Tgod4reals]

I actually really like the idea of videos using an ingredient multiple times

[@cecigoo5430]

That is so cool to see milk toast, my nana called it milk soup, she would make it for me when I was a kid !! She would push the toast in the bottom of the bowl and pour the milk mixed with butter , salt and pepper over it . I loved it when I was young. Now as an adult I eat it when I am sad or sick . It is so loving !! The memories behind it mean so much to me !!!

[@Myrtle2911]

Hagelslag!!!!!! I had that just about every morning when I visited my bff in The Netherlands! She has sent it to me in a care package twice. I love that stuff! Koningsdag (King's Day) fell during my visit, and there is a special hagelslag they eat for that. It's orange and white and tastes more like anise. I much prefer the chocolate.

[@ninan9650]

It feels there is a hagelslag for any occasion. I remember a dutch colleague had blue sprinkles on cracker, when his son was born. There is a pink version as well. Although I am not a big fan of colour stereotypes I found it quite funny. I do love the anis hagelslag and the cocos sheets they have in the Netherlands.

[@l.i.i.l0]

There are soooo many 😍 I leave near the Dutch border which is kinda closed for some time now and I really need new hageslag 😅 I think there is a test-package with a lot of small sized ones, maybe I can send beryl some

[@TheHeroSaver]

I've wanted to get capers and try using them and that Malta recipe has fully inspired me as I love soooo many of those combos

[@sreedevi6_134]

"I only made two I kinda wish I made more.." Me after every damn meal😁🤣😭

[@karenbenavente1124]

Wow! That Vietnamese shrimp toast sounds so delicious! 😋and the Malta toast yummm the milk toast my mom used to make it for us when we we’re sick but she would tear up our toast into our bowl of warm milk😊

[@WilliamBode]

Beryl thanks so much for recommending the book by George Takei. I read it and it is so helpful to know about this history from the perspective of someone who lived it.

[@diannt9583]

The recipe from Malta sounds like a must-try!

[@BellaHiew]

Maybe you could make a video that people with certain allergies can eat, so maybe like gluten free dishes from different places or like dairy free, might be too much to ask but it could be fun!

[@J_C_90s]

I love this idea. How are food allergies handled in other cuisines? I eat mostly GF and lactose free due to FODMAP issues.

[@spoonergirl75]

I agree - not that I can't find plenty of recipes on my own, but we eat dairy and gluten free in our household due to a severe dairy allergy and celiac disease. It would be great to see dishes from other countries that also omit these foods/ingredients.

[@irdairda514]

@@J_C_90s Agreed, I eat Gluten/dairy free due to allergies and FODMAP issues too, also avoid garlic, onion, apple, leek and asparagus. i would love an episode/series relating to multiple food intolerances.

[@sybilreneemcgowan1472]

My mother made milk toast for me in the late 40’s, early 50’s. No sugar, no salt or pepper. I loved it.

[@FrogCities]

Loved the artist this week! So fun seeing characters from MOB on this channel

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

Educate me...what is MOB. I loved the art.

[@FrogCities]

MOB (full title MOB Psycho 100, though I’m not really sure what it means haha) is an anime and manga coming of age story about a kid with seemingly limitless psychic powers. It’s really really wonderful and I would highly reccomend it! It’s by the same creator as One Punch Man

[@CJM279]

Tahini & maple syrup work well together too

[@SenpaiTokyo]

Here's a tongue-twister: She sells 'shrimp shells' on the sea shore.

[@Relampago_Blanco]

A comment on the "Milk Toast" recipe presented here. So, my Alabaman family had a spin on this one: white bread toast, with peanut butter spread overtop, and served with hot chocolate to dip the bread in. Growing up, my sister and I would have it for breakfast when we were sick, and it was so good!

[@InfiniteWater_]

Loved this video, as always ❤️ How about a street candy around the world video? Like go-to candy from the corner shop when you were kids

[@erinhowett3630]

OMG YES

[@kap319]

I’m new to this channel, but I’m really loving it. You’re now on our Sunday morning watchlist along with Glen & Friends and Refika’s Kitchen. I love learning about different world recipes or the history of different foods and your channel is a great fit. 💗

[@wen98107]

thanks for selecting George Takei's book I'm Japanese American there are so many people who still don't know about the incarceration of Japanese Americans. Also love how you feature the community's creatives

[@kjeleharrison3249]

I was raised on Milk Clice, also called Milk Soup. It is dumplings made with eggs and plain flour mixed to a thick batter. Drop small pieces of batter into boiling water and cook through until firm. Drain, return to pot and add milk and butter. You want the milk to be very hot, but do not boil it. Season with salt, pepper, and more butter to taste. It is a very nostalgic dish. Came from my grandmother from Poland.

[@TierraD2021]

The shrimp toast recipe was very interesting to me. As a Vietnamese myself, I've only had shrimp toast in the context of Cantonese dimsum, where the shrimp is turned into shrimp paste, spread onto a piece of bread and deep fried. Even in the recipe you linked, this was how they prepared the toast. If this is how Vanessa showed you, maybe this is how other Vietnamese people do it in different regions, or even a Vietnamese-American thing. It seems nice regardless ☺️

[@himechi]

Same, I've never seen one made this way before and have only had the shrimp paste style.

[@johnmartens6789]

Seeing the milk toast recipe brought back memories. My mother would cube slices of bread into croutons, then saute in a buttered skillet, add whole milk, salt and pepper, and serve up warm. She called it "Graveyard Stew."
