This is one of those episodes where everyone was really respectful and honest! Would love to have another episode with these ladies.

[@mxxxw4529]

No i want them to insult each other

[@boochi7087]

The Jewish moms are always really nice and respectful. They had a broth soup before that they rated. I think Beth won that one as well.

[@neehadbaharuddin3106]

Because they're British

[@broda4588]

Yesss, no need for backbiting

[@wifey231]

You beat me to it. I was going to comment the same thing. They were all so nice and fair. They weren't nitpicking each other.

[@MsRose00]

These Jewish mom’s are lovely. No down-scoring here out of pettiness. The “criticism” was genuine and not malicious.

[@sweeney60]

British Jews vs. American Jews. Americans would never be this polite.

[@ajirikoko]

Yea

[@erinchamberlain1315]

@MsRose00 totally agree. Very nice to see them being sweet and genuine.

[@anarchist_parable]

They need New York Jews next time 😂🤌🏾

[@sertankacar8594]

Italian moms are not like that. They criticize harshly

[@amalzuhair4495]

I love how constructive this criticism is, no negativity or politics. These women get a 100/10 from me.

[@aikasan5900]

Beth is the type of Jewish mom who even if her son doesn’t marry a Jewish girl, she’s going to teach her how to make all the traditional food her son loves. Her love of food and tradition is obvious, but her kindness is what’s noticeable first.

[@nomad_cat1]

or she can teach her son to cook his own favourite food… why do you project the need to please onto the woman

[@jbyrd9118]

@@nomad_cat1 I see what you are saying but it’s a sweet comment because Jewish moms of the older generation (like mine) can be less accepting of intermarriage, but Beth has such a warm and accepting disposition that the dynamic would be different.

[@aikasan5900]

If my man’s mom was kind enough to be willing to teach me some shit in the kitchen, I’ll sit there and learn. It’s bonding time with a woman from a culture that isn’t mine and has potential to educate me on things I don’t know about. Older, traditional people from different cultures typically don’t like intermarriage (like another comment said), but women like Beth are brimming with kindness and pride about their food that’s it’s clear it’s a major source of bonding in their families first and foremost. And Not everything is some feminist hill to die on. Some women actually do like to cook for their partners (I know I do) because it’s a sign of affection, not because they “have to”!

[@brh.1892]

@@aikasan5900 spot on

[@jodishapiro9257]

@@aikasan5900 my family is jewish but jewish cuisine varies a lot based on your diaspora community. My mom is Italian so we ate a lot of Italian food growing up. My sister in law is 100% Ashkenazi and so my mom, brother and I have taught her a lot of the family recipes so that she can one day pass them on to their kids. I learned Ashkenazi cooking from my grandma and Italian from my mom.

[@LetsCookItaliano]

These mums are lovely! As one of the Italian mums, can we please have a mashup? Like, Jewish mums teaching us how to make their delicious food and we’ll do the same? 🤩🤩🤩

[@Ineddiblehulk]

Yes! Love how sweet and generous you all are. A cross over would be great.

[@bo2720]

Yes as it happens the Italian and Jewish mums are my favorites so lovely would have a drink with any of them !

[@genuisglt8162]

This is everything! Best idea

[@chloeysuslocuras1157]

That would be great, you all are the nicest of the competition definitely.

[@edelgyn2699]

It would be fun if some of the mums were Italian AND Jewish. 😊

[@mirimeerkat2087]

They are all so sweet about each other. They don’t purposely do a low score on the others just to make their own score higher

[@cyntmarker]

I love the reviews where people are truly critiquing the food and not being rude or giving low scores just to win.

[@iokepakaona6209]

These women show the actual purpose of this whole thing positive feedback and not bringing each other down! Love them!

[@LivingInTheShade]

Another great episode, example to us all we should be nice to one another it's not difficult. Plus, I want to try the bread!

[@paraplegicmom5318]

I've seen other Try's and their critic reviews are brutal.

[@LivingInTheShade]

@@paraplegicmom5318 I know just over the top.

[@SAYZLEE]

This. This is how other moms should act. None of this negative and bitter attitude. Nothing but constructive criticism and positivity from these lovely Jewish mothers 👍🏻

[@KCNwokoye]

All the ladies are complimentary and not threatened by their competition. They also were fair. Lovely to watch. More of these please!

[@MrBigcraft]

This is why the Jewish community are so well off. There very supportive of each other Nd always looking for the positive. Something we need to do more

[@lpkhoudari]

I mean, even though you’re attempting to give a compliment, “the Jewish community is well off,” is antisemetic propaganda.

[@WW-wn4ef]

@@lpkhoudari Completely agree.

[@Rahila520d]

@@lpkhoudari is anything NOT antisemitic these days. Get a grip

[@Lexiz2902]

@@lpkhoudari I'm Jewish. I wouldn't call it antisemitic so much as just a bit tone deaf.

[@lpkhoudari]

@@Rahila520d literally propaganda put forth by antisemites to invoke hate. It’s part of the “Jews have money and control the word” rhetoric that is used to negate any form of abuse and antisemitism.

[@jjm6555]

I love how these mums are polite and still respectful while stating their opinions

[@DaughterOfTheKingdom16]

When I was a kid I went to this Jewish Museum and learned how to make Challah bread and it's always been my favorite. It's also the best bread for French Toast, that or Brioche bread.

[@henrystoes6508]

true. i love challah french toast

[@miasolis1497]

These ladies are so fair and polite in their judging. Truly class acts!

[@Nqobile.Mediocre]

Jewish moms are literally the only ones I've seen on here that don't bash each other.

[@elizabitty213]

I love Beth’s little puns and jokes she so adorable 🥰

[@bigempty777]

I'm a baker, I make challah braids almost everyday and I can honestly say all 3 of these braids look incredible!! Good work everyone! Braiding bread isn't an easy task and challah is suuuper sticky

[@alicelindborg5096]

Watch America’s test kitchen clock method for braiding with four strands and starting the dough with a roux.

[@toywilliams8830]

I love how they find the good out of each loaf instead of bashing it. Loved this 🥰

[@kallisto3263]

I miss the Italian mums. But I like the Jewish mums also really much ☺️

[@LetsCookItaliano]

Aww that’s so sweet! I love these mums too! I suggested a mashup where they teach us how to make their food and we teach them how to make Italian food 😂

[@execbum1]

So nice that they were all so nice and respectful about each other's breads. I enjoy these so much more than when people are rude about each other.

[@ellierk2880]

They're just all so lovely and kind. I mean even their criticism is more helpful than rude.

[@TheBLGL]

I love these Jewish moms, they are the most respectful of any of these “moms try other mom’s…..” I’ve seen on both US & UK buzzfeed, and I’m gonna copy the putting flaky salt on top of the challah idea the next time I make challah! More of these nice moms, please! I’d love to see them try the US Jewish moms’ food and vice versa, but know that’s not really possible right now.

[@weareyoungfamily5746]

This was so refreshing to watch,everyone was nice and honest 🙂

[@Milzo950]

I wish the other videos I've watched were this fair in scoring each other's food. There's no "Mines better" or "What am I eating" I score this a "0". It was refreshing seeing them all being respectful ❤️ I want to see more of this ❤️

[@88Sunshine88]

From the very beginning Beth's technique draw me in with the addition of salt on top to compliment to sweetness . I wish I could try some haha

[@soobinxzer1838]

i love how they were all so sweet and respectful to one another when rating each others food

[@rad92]

Best part of making challah is the braiding. It's so satisfying, I love making 6-braided challah. Check out Jamie Gellers challah workshop.

[@Cupcake4me]

How lovely are these mums ! I live near a Jewish area….might go pick me up some of that bread..looks yum.

[@genevievejaneczek9768]

They were so respectful and not rude. This was nice to watch.

[@HAIRHOLIC_1]

We have a similar dish in Switzerland we call it pane treccia ( plat bread) and it looks exactly like theirs, it’s almost like a brioche, so soft and delicious, we have it for breakfast with unsalted butter, jam and hot ovomaltine chocolate 😍. I’d like to try challahs as well.

[@fatimascrying]

these mums were really lovely ! usually you'd have at least one who's very picky or mean bc they wanna win but these women were all kind and honest 🥺

[@goingthrough9390]

Well that worked out well for me, cuz I coincidentally bought Challah a couple hours ago at Trader Joe's, so I ate some while I watched this video and didn't get too jealous! But Beth's definitely looked better than the loaf I bought, cuz it wasn't actually very fresh.

[@simonscowled9925]

WOW. Women uplifting women. High scores given.

[@productplacement39]

a thick warmed up slice of Challah bread with a nice layer of peanut butter and chocolate spread on the top used to me my breakfast of choice on some weeks.

Do something with Chinese or east Asian mum's.

Yess, like chicken balls or sweet and sour chicken, chow mien etc. I am here for that suggestion!

I make challah maybe once a month because my family recipe uses so many eggs and it can take like 8-10 hours. I also use poppy seeds because that’s what my grandma used.

[@debbyrabold6069]

I really enjoyed this video. I used to make challah for my family when my kids were young. Now they're all grown up & it's just me. (Sad). I make challah dough in a bread machine. Then I form it into a braided loaf, or rolls. I like when you pull a chunk off the challah with your hands & it's kinda stretchy & melts in your mouth. Thank you for this video, ladies!

Use bread flour only! Glaze the top with egg and a sprinkle of sugar right before baking! Also the more you knead the fluffier it is. Eat leftovers warmed in the microwave with butter or margarine. Also it tastes better torn not cut!
