Taste Testing BREAKFASTS from Around the World (GAME)

Which breakfast is your favourite???

[@gendoll5006]

I couldn’t eat any of these for breakfast as delicious as they look, they’re just too “stodgy” (learned that term from this show lol). If I eat carbs I get tired lol. And it’s still so hard to get my American breakfast mentality away from traditional “breaks fast” foods like bacon, eggs, hash browns, toast, sausage, etc.

As a Greek, I spent the whole round looking at the koulouria like...these are too thick but so similar to ours, they have to be from a neighbouring country like Turkey lmao! I've also literally never had them with butter and honey, or even feta and olives...they're a very common snack plain, and sometimes they're sliced horizontally and filled with cheese and maybe ham, then toasted. Either way they're delicious! Used to get them all the time at school.

[@zoeyelda3926]

In Turkey it is called simit and we eat them with all those things! :)

That’s what I was thinking too! A bit too thick but sometimes you can find the fluffy ones.

I am from Greece and I live in Thessaloniki. I was so excited when I saw the traditional koulouri! The original version of koulouri is a little bit thinner and crispier. Another very common breakfast here are pies (like tyropita-cheese fyllo pie or spanakopita-spinach fyllo pie). However, the most common breakfast here in Thessaloniki is mpougatsa which is something like a puff pastry and can have so many filling options! You should try to make it! Good job guys!

As a Turkish, I suspected if it was "Simit" because it is generally braided in Turkey. Simit is everyone's favourite, cheap and on-to-go kind of breakfast. We have lots of common food with Greece so I learned now Simit is one of them.

[@niakoaaankomah9178]

It is awesome to see an attempt at a Ghanaian dish on this channel :) Waakye which is pronounced more like "wah-chay" and is a Hausa word, not Nigerian. It originates from Northern Ghana which has a lot of Hausa people. Waakye tends to be little more reddish brown and black-eyed peas are used most often and the rice and beans are most often cooked in water with some salt. It is served with SO many things like a tomato stew, a pepper sauce known as shito, some spaghetti, some gari (cassava flakes), meat or fish or egg or all of them, and a side of plantain. It is the combination of all these that make waakye one of the most sought-after dishes for breakfast or lunch or dinner.

[@AbisolaFadire]

I'm Nigerian. Was looking out for this correction. Waakye is Ghanaian, not Nigerian.

I remember having flat rice for breakfast as a kid in the early 80:s as a fast way to make rice porridge. It came in a blue 500gr (or so) box and mum just heated up milk and left the rice to steep. Nostalgia. ☺️

[@sudippaul2876]

Try that with some crushed up ripe mango's and thank me later.

[@jeromethiel4323]

When times got really tough, we'd get leftover rice warmed up in fresh milk, with a little cinnamon and sugar for flavor. That was breakfast, and that was all you got for breakfast. Being poor sucks, but we never starved. In fact, we probably ate healthier then, because it was a lot of homemade and homegrown food. Because store bought break was more expensive than making your own. And growing a garden was basically "free" food (not really free, since you had to invest time and energy into it). But with careful planning and buying, supplemented with foraged, hunted, and/or grown food, you can actually eat pretty well.

[@RBRB431]

I've never seen Poha on any non-indian KZbin channel. It's such a humble day to day dish with no fanfair. You can also make awesome chiwda/chevda with the same flattened rice (Poha). It's a crunchy snack that tastes bomb with a strong cup of tea.

[@jaycari]

Really hope you'll feature tosilog and longsilog from the PH! Their names are portmanteaus of the different components in the dish; "silog" refers to "sinangag" (garlic fried rice) and "itlog" (fried egg). So "tosilog" is a dish served with fried rice, fried egg, and tocino (Filipino cured pork), while "longsilog" is served with the same elements but with longganisa (Filipino sausage). They're some of the most popular breakfasts in the country. Joshua Weissman featured a great recipe for both dishes in his channel, but you can easily find other excellent recipes on the web.

[@gaurib]

There are a lot ways to customize this dish. To give u some general idea. Get the thick version of flattened rice, the thinner one is used for a dry dish called chiwda. Take less portion of flattened rice than what you think you can eat as it increases in size when soaked in water and cooked. Wash the rice like you would a normal rice bt I recommend just once because mushier poha is not that great to eat. Drain all that water and set the rice aside. Heat a pan and put a non flavour oil like vegetable or any other of our choice if you want the feel the presence of the flavour of that particular oil. For example, for 2 handful of poha take 1/2tbsp oil. Put 1 tsp mustard seeds and they should pop in the oil, put 5-6 curry leaves, 2 green chillies, a small finely chopped onion (can slice if you want to feel the crunch), cook the mixer till the onion gets translucent, if you have roasted peanuts put 10-12 seeds (can be either skipped in case of allergy or substituted with peas), my family also puts 1 boiled potato sometimes but that's not the norm, then put 1/2tsp turmeric powder, 1tsp sugar and salt to taste. Once stirred put the rice and just add a dash of water help coat the rice with the other stuff. Cook only till the rice feels hot to touch not much. Like for 4-5mins. Finish it off with a sneeze of lime wedge and some coriander/parsley. You can also garnish it with either freshly grated or roasted coconut or some crunchy flakes called sev. You can also make it healthier by putting some soaked sprouts or vegetables like carrot, capsicum, sweet corn but that's not the traditional way but more like a trendy approach. Nothing wrong with making it whatever things you have at your disposal. Its a hearty breakfast and can keep you full for a long time. In my hometown it is sometimes served with a tangy/spicy chickpea stew or a lentil stew called sambar. Try making it for a couple of times and gradually you'll just develop a recipe of your own the way you enjoy it the most.

Just a quick clarification on rice and beans regarding protein- they are not complete proteins on their own because they're each missing essential amino acids (those that our body can't make on its own). But they are each missing complementary amino acids, so when eaten together you get all essential amino acids! There are several plant sources considered complete proteins such as: soy beans, quinoa, buckwheat, and spirulina (blue green algae).

Poha is a hearty and delicious breakfast. Best enjoyed with a cup of Chai😊

[@SurprisedEagleRay-ic3fy]

And with lots of potatoes and onions! Yumm I'm craving it now

[@alpharomeo786]

Poha is specific for western India also called Chura 😊

[@graeme111]

Appreciate you not making a long winded intro to the concept of the video, here you read the title and you're straight into the meat of it 👌

[@ketanb.8151]

As a Maharashtrian, I was delighted to see Poha, which has been a breakfast staple throughout my childhood. Keep it up lads! 😄

Ethiopian Breakfast Dish: "FirFir" made with day old injera bread and a sauce made with berbere and meat. They eat this because it prevents food waste since its made out of the leftovers from the day before. It can be served with a cup of "Buna" (coffee) on the side.

[@sujaywaghmare6752]

Please try "Misal" from Maharashtra, India

Thanks for the recommendation 😁

I WAS SO EXCITED TO GET THE GHANAIAN ONE RIGHT! I teach third grade and at the end of the year I have the kids do a “teacher for a day” project where they each get to give a short presentation on literally whatever. I had a student who’d moved here (Texas) from Ghana about 3-5 years before and she did her presentation on her favorite things from back home. The food played a big part of it. I was pretty sure I had it pegged on sight and then as soon as he said it was often served on banana leaves I KNEW I had it. That’s exciting!

The thing is, being from Israel, I also thought like Mike about the bagels in Jerusalem. It's not a popular breakfast item so I changed the answer in my head to Turkey. So Mike had a very logical thought process 😅

[@saitarun1148]

In southern parts of India, puffed rice is used instead of flattened rice to make variation of Poha, either way absolutely delicious. Also very common to have onion pakoda or mirichi bhaji along with poha.

[@noamz9527]

This bread IS very common in Israel, but not specifically for breakfast.

[@slothdance2020]

We have bagela like in the video in Israel but it is not a typical breakfast food. It is more of a snack or used to make toastim for lunch. The bagel for breakfast is an anglo import.

[@noamz9527]

You can have them for breakfast in hotels, but not common while at home.

[@pandate2036]

Jerusalem bagels are elite

[@busehamurcu1393]

It's really funny how almost all Greek food is actually Turkish and no one from Europe or America knows and are fooled into thinking that yoghurt is Greek when even the word "yoghurt" is Turkic in origin

[@jasminv8653]

It's really funny how almost all cultures in the world share foods with their neighbours as if contact with other people and what the region has to offer affects the cuisine...

[@KristineMaitland]

Keep in mind that many Westerners could not find either Greece or Turkiye on a map. Let alone keep up with geographic or name changes. Further, knowledge of history (from any country's perspective) is often non-existent. Oh and I got Ghana. Grin.

Love these breakfast video! Please try Taho and Kaya Toast. Silken tofu with a brown sugar syrup called arnibal and sago pearls. Toast with slices of butter, thick spread Kaya - similar to Dulce de leche but made with coconut milk and sometimes egg and pandan), its eaten typically with soft boiled eggs, white pepper and soy sauce.

[@SortedFood]

Thanks for the recommendations 😁

[@mubashiramoin8971]

I got 2 of these right and i'm do proud of myself! But fr guys, I did not expect it from you guys to legitimate Israel being a country like that. It is an apartheid state committing heinous war crimes everyday. A 5 year old child died of TERROR and panic because of the israeli strikes in Gaza a few days ago, everyday millions of Palestinians suffer for their ethnicity being wiped off this earth, please don't play a part in this. I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this in the comments. I love you guys, please educate yourselves on this topic. love and peace

[@monicareno4088]

I got both the Indian and Cambodian dishes spot on! I should’ve picked up on the olive clue for the Greek dish but like Mike was thinking Israel or Turkey. I would like to try all of these dishes. I love experiencing new things and learning about different cultures.

[@ferrisk9116]

Israe, never heard of it of it.

[@Tortall2012]

I really enjoy this game because while I wish I got to eat the food, guessing the country is just as fun. For example the last breakfast option made me think of the southeast continental countries of Asia (Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia) and used the different flavors that Jamie and Mike were talking about to try and narrow it down. They said that it was on the milder side of spicy so that took away Thai food and Vietnamese food so I was just left thinking on whether it was Cambodian or Laotian.

[@HFC786]

Please invite kwook for an episode or two or three!

[@agatasousa2885]

I was watching it whilst having rice and beans for lunch 😂 would never imagine it for breakfast, but it's a Brazilian staple! Great combo

[@RBonfas]

Eu sugeri deles usarem pão de queijo no próximo, dá um upvote no meu comentário pfv!

[@bettosama10]

What is Israel!?

[@evabones7324]

You should try "žganci" from Slovenia! They're made from buckwheat flour and traditionally eaten with sour milk, but we usually do it with warm milk/yogurt for breakfast. Can also be eaten for lunch with sauerkraut and "kranjska klobasa" (our version of pork sausage) or topped with cracknel (not sure if that is the right translation) as a side to different stews. Delicious.
