Breakfast Swap: US Vs. Puerto Rico

[@humanbeing-te1hu]

Who is Puerto Rican!!?? 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@piratafrequency]

ME!

[@osvaldoarocho7696]

Me!!!

[@sandraleegutierrez5542]

Meeeee

[@MahoNishizumifrfr]

I’m Russian

[@michellebadillo7574]

Me :)

[@calypsovaldez]

I love how Ivan loves to emphasize “born and bread on the island” because he knows a Puerto Rican from the US and from the island are very different. 👀

[@MsSwthrt102]

Ikr. It's also inspiring to see him get into Buzfeed and be recognizable despite not living in the US before becoming popular. Not a lot of people from here make it anywhere else when it comes to TV

[@astridb9700]

Us islander ones are probably at least 50% "bread" by the time we reach adulthood, so much delicious pan de agua, pan sobao con cafe, and panaderias everywhere 🤤 my poor thighs.

[@calypsovaldez]

@@astridb9700 Ahahah oh god I know, I feel like stuffing 5 loafs of pan sobao in my malleta everytime I leave PR

[@mirandatorres2642]

Damn straight

[@whatever5922]

That’s so weird to me as a non-puerto rican

[@namelessreyes4093]

In PR the go to breakfast is pan sobao con jamón y queso y café

[@joycemedina9949]

Si, pero la mayorca se vale

[@annierodriguez410]

Un desayuno deli 👌🏻

[@yelitzacolon7993]

Or galletas con mantequilla y un cafecito!! That also some good 3pm snack!!

[@TheChantelleBell]

This is what I was thinking. I thought maybe I was going crazy

[@piratafrequency]

This was so fun to make! Now all I want is to keep eating these sandwiches!!!

[@digglethedogdad4788]

Ivan is adorable!

[@Lynartz]

Ivan! Te vi pensando en el Montecristo del Meson! Haha

[@aroundtheworldinaprildays]

Iván singing Best of Both Worlds is such a mood! Jasmine Minnie Belle being her jolly self despite some setbacks is too cute! Please do Filipino food swap, it's Filipino American History Month after all. 😁

[@ashleydayrit]

Yessss id love that

[@Dangic23]

Mayorca definitely not the go-to breakfast in PR. Montecristo definitely not a US breakfast item.

[@Lvu24]

Usually i remember 🍞 sobao con jamón y queso y café.

[@Dangic23]

@@Lvu24 Or a Media Luna. And on weekends....Tripletas for breakfast....lol

[@Khaese]

In PR I belive that wold be something you will have if u were out but true not the go to xD

[@rebeccam.7249]

that true the go to breakfast in america is cereal

[@Dangic23]

@Jasmin Marie De Jesus Not THE breakfast. More like a snack.

[@kimmykun]

Apparently, apart from knowing the difference between an empanadilla and a pastelillo, and knowing the correct names for nickels and dimes, we western Puerto Ricans also know that mallorcas are swirly.

[@astridb9700]

Yes, NW #represent

[@suzyq20]

I have never seen a Monte Cristo made this way...ever.

[@Ricardo-gf7ts]

We eat almost the same breakfast because we’re Americans too i have been in Puerto Rico my entire life and I have never ate any of these for breakfast

[@maro6549]

You never had a Mallorca go to old San Juan pr they Mallorca is to die for delicious 😋😋

[@domimomo9394]

Every family eats different tbh but usually it’s always based on either porridge’s, sandwiches, or a simple mayorca with coffee.

[@ginaspringershirley1307]

Is Recipe Swap a series? This is fun and I want more.

[@meghajain1712]

A fried sandwich? That's definitely American

[@Khaese]

Is it?

[@katherinezoeligonzalezrodr1498]

She definitely messed something up with the pan de mallorca, cause it should be very soft and sweet. I’m born, raised and still living at the island and it’s the best. You go to a panadería and buy it. Put the ham, cheese and microwave it so it gets a little warm and it taste amazing! 🤩

[@pinkandbright1234]

You know Ivan is Puerto Rican when he is adding the salt after “measure” it and add a little more saying “for good luck”. That’s so Boricua. I’m like “1/4 de sal... y un poquito más por siaca” 😂😂 PD: “siaca” is an abbreviation of “si acaso” 😉

[@sloud471]

“And this... will make them easier to pull out” that did it for me 😂

[@cornick115]

That’s so amazing Puerto Rican food hands-down my grandma and my Titi so glad they taught me

[@DannyDaemonic]

Are we all just ignoring the tablespoon of baking powder?!

[@PuertoRico413]

Oh wow I'm puerto rican and I never knew that 😢 I'm so jibara we never had it where I'm from

[@tiffanyc965]

"Tell me you're Puerto Rican without telling us you're Puerto Rican" Iván at 8:19

[@mirandatorres2642]

I've honestly never eaten a mallorca that looks like that, it looks so pretty!

[@johanreillo8403]

Yo nunca he visto una Mallorca así “swirly” a lo mejor así la hacen en Mayagüez

[@piratafrequency]

jajajaj nunca has ido a la Ricomini en Mayaguez!

[@astridb9700]

Ricomini 😋 me encanta

[@johanreillo8403]

Iván Emilio nah 😂😂 yo soy de Carolina

[@inelissenvs]

Yo soy de Naranjito y nunca la había visto así. 👀

[@mirandatorres2642]

Yo soy de Rio Grande, aqui es un pan sobao amarillo XD

[@PurpleRagingFire]

All the family restaurants around me serve monte cristo. The ones I’ve had have French toast as the bread. I’ve never seen them deep fried before. Are monto cristos usually deep fried? Or are monte cristos just something Americans decided to deep fry like everything else?

[@VivaCohen]

How crazy is it that Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens who can move to any state but Puerto Rico isn't part of the United States?

[@tektyger1]

I guess you never went to school. Puerto Rico is part of the US.

[@A_Yiyi]

Oh no I'm half US and half Puerto Rican now I'm flipping hungry porque yoo😭

[@fuifua]

Mayorca isn’t a “favorite” breakfast item. We prefer to go to the bakery/deli and have our fix. Mayorca is available everywhere, so we don’t have to make it from scratch.

[@Camillelele69]

im american but never even heard of monte cristo :(

[@ADR199E]

Her rollers not big enough...😏 Get you a 🇵🇷 Roller you'll be obsessed and satisfied. 🤭😉👍🏽

[@rmlrl1971]

You all need to buy some measuring spoons and cups for dry stuff.

[@dianasanchez117]

I’m Puerto Rican and live in the island and never heard of Mallorca.

[@kimmykun]

...¿cómo?

[@tinyoddfable]

¿En serio? Tan buenas que son.

[@anairdaodette]

You are missing a delicious treat. If you live in the metro area. Go to Panificadora Pepin in the Americo Miranda (appears in google maps). You can buy them in packs of 4 or 6 and add whatever you want inside at home.

[@calypsovaldez]

nena tú estás bien?? Mallorca = life

[@jameskoskidescamps2497]

Uhm, I hope you have Jam; I have never had that sandwich without jam

[@maricelyrivera5700]

I don’t know where in Puerto Rico is this a breakfast staple , I’ve never heard of that at all , this has to be a fancy bakery thing but is definitely not a Puertorican every day breakfast at all

[@katherinezoeligonzalezrodr1498]

I’m from Juana Díaz, Puerto Rico and we eat this as breakfast a lot! We go to the panadería and buy the pan de mallorca. Put the ham, cheese and microwave it so it gets a little warm, and it taste amazing! Should definitely try it

[@aliceaarmstrong6276]

That is not a Monte cristo...

[@tropicaleo1726]

Jaja pero papá, cuidao con la compu😅

Eso es demasiado trabajo para un desayuno, mejor me voy pal mezón. Quien quiere venir conmigo!?!

[@DK3n70]

You do know that Puerto Rico is in the US right?!

[@pr_tr4p_g4wd20]

No we are not what you meant to say was that we are a US territory we are not located in the continental US.🤦🏽‍♂️😬🤷🏽‍♂️

[@VivaCohen]

Well, they're U.S. citizens, but Puerto Rico isn't a state so they aren't part of the United States (how weird is that? lol)

While they're at it... Get Jasmine a rolling pin. 😂

[@katieballesteros7171]

I am triggered and incredibly anxious by these people who use spoons as a measuring device instead of, I don’t know , BUYING REAL MEASURING SPOONS! they have all those measurements you need, a teaspoon half teaspoon quarter teaspoon tablespoon, all of it! And it’s so easy! No guessing! Buzzfeed needs to up the budget and give these people proper tools

[@honeybeewantsahalo]

One spoon is 1 table spoon tho

[@kanorysvelez2896]

Very inexpensive the full set

[@pinkandbright1234]

Lots of Puerto Rican uses those spoon, not because they don’t have them in the house, is just a cultural thing. Specially learned from our abuelitas (grandmothers) because in their times they didn’t have those tools. I use them (the measuring ones) but most people like to use other 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@katieballesteros7171]

@@pinkandbright1234 I understand that, my comment was kind of a joke. I do think it makes it difficult to follow a recipe you’ve never made with accurate measurements. However my grandparents were from Mexico and my grandma didn’t even use a spoon she just put spices in from the jar or put them all into the mochahete. Whenever I’m making her recipes I have to do it by smell, I know the ingredients and then I add the spices until it smells like how my grandma used to make it. Then I will know it’s done. It’s one of my favorite things to make her old recipes, it’s the closest I get to be with her and when I pass these on it’ll pass on a little bit of my grandma to my children. My grandma and I were so close I miss her everyday and wish that she could have met my husband and kids.
