Somali Women Try Other Somali Women's Suqaar

[@monasirtakesitall]

Suqaar has no one exact recipe; it varies from region to region and home to home. From North to central states through east, vegetables are scarce hence their recipes of suqaar contain more meat than vegetables. In the southern states; the agricultural land of Somalia, suqaar recipes display abundance in vegetables. Also, suqaar has alot of broth which has water-like consistency. To me, safia was spot on.

[@alanjyu]

I would love to try this. I noticed Safia's version did not actually have a lot of broth. It looked like Chinese pepper steak stir-fry. She alsoactually said "Don't make it saucy" at the beginning. Sara describes it as a stew. Sara and Khadra's versions looked more like stews.

[@ahmedopone4080]

Exactly. It was like a stir-fry. She also said she added soy sauce which is definately not traditional. The 2 girls that said it was a stew were more correct. A little sauce, that is thick and covers + fills the spaces between the meat pieces is pretty much the real suqaar. I can’t speak for the regional differences. Most suqaar I’ve had was like this.

[@monasirtakesitall]

@@ahmedopone4080 well I said there's variations from home to home. Suqaar is not suugo lol. It has a very runny consistency as in maraq.

[@SamMKKK]

Oooh. You better explain!

[@SamMKKK]

Actually, you’re making a proper point. In the Bariskukaris episode, Sarah critiqued one of the dishes as not very Somali because it had veggies. So more merit to your point about different sectors having different meat/veggie palates.

What's interesting to me is that they show these "new" foods, and they are usually nearly the same all around the world, but with different names and a variation of the seasonings. I made this dish on Saturday, but just called it Lamb Stew (served over Jasmin rice). 🎶 *We're All in this Together!* 🎵

[@baybeetricia]

I feel bad for Sara 😢 She tries, like she really does, and I get that her food might not be the best but at least give her constructive criticism. No need to be mean or harsh. There's always a nice way to say things, Khadra, so that the person will understand how they can improve. Also, at least taste the food! Not the sauce/gravy but the food!

[@heyya7464]

Yeah Khadra is so harsh to point of being unnecessary and extra. I would hate to be her friend or family. She has this diabolical quality about her.

[@sedled2829]

I think it’s necessary. Somali dishes are being forgotten in this gen. We all know what good suqaar is, so her honesty is very necessary. Our grandmothers would be even more harsh tbh😂

[@sedled2829]

We both know some suqaar don’t go down as easy. Wedding and Ramadan Suqaar is always elite

[@BushraAhmed-sv6ey]

Safia and Khadra's suqaar look like a proper suqaar because they've added vegetables and onions. Although Sarah tried her best, it would have been better if she added other vegetables to her suqaar (even though she stated she does not like to mix it with her suqaar). Khadra seems nice but she's way too judgemental about Sarah's food. I wish they could try malawah or canjeero alongside suqaar but other than that I really enjoyed watching this video, well done ladies!

I have no problem with Khadra's confidence. I find her critique useful. If I were to make these dishes, I would take all of her recommendations into consideration. Actually, both Safia and Khadra had the exact same things to say about Sara's dish. Khadra just did it in a more colourful, over-the-top way.

If I had to choose, I’d hang out with Khadra cause she seems the most fun, and I think she’s being extra for the show. But obviously she’s not acting humble, which is a rarer and more precious trait than over-the-top confidence. It’s easy to act arrogant than to humble yourself before your peers.

I don’t think Khadra said anything wrong. She said the same exact things that Safia. The only difference is that she went to explanations as to why she did not like something. Her comments were not nasty, mean-spirited, disrespectful or rude. It’s not like she told Sara, “Yuck. This food is absolute trash, and you should not be in the kitchen”. Instead, she stated that she did not like it, and that it was unacceptable by her standards. She went on to tell her ways to make the dish better for improvement. Khadra was direct, straight to the point and honest in her opinions. Sara is a champ. At least she has the courage and the confidence to get on camera with her foods and display it for the general public to gain their positive or negative perspectives. Most of KZbin’s general public say much meaner, nasty, mean-spirited things than any of these ladies, yet they don’t even have a profile picture of themselves for us to judge them as a whole, lol. Me included. So, Sara is a champ in all aspects in my opinion.
