TASTING SOME ECUADOR TREATS

As an Ecuadorian, I'm happy to know you love our chocolate! And you haven't tried others as Tango, Manicero and Pacari. This last one is organic chocolate which last year (2014) won 14 awards in the International Chocolate Awards held in the UK. This was the third time this brand receives international recognition. So far, Pacari has received 79 awards since 2012. Visit their website and you will see the extense variety of chocolates they have! Proudly Ecuadorian chocolate!

[@toddkubela2657]

Miguel Dávila I love Tango and Manicero

[@donalskehan]

Brown and pink! Yup I heard right! :)

[@mrbarrylewis]

every time!

[@ariannes.1171]

Love the fact that you love the Ecuadorian treats cause no one knows about Ecuador and it's a shame cause the candy is amazing (I'm Ecuadorian so I obviously love this video) 🇪🇨

[@lucygillman2449]

Arianne S. ikr I'm from Ecuador aswell and the chocolate is the best😍It's a small country compared to the others in South America so that's why no one really knows about it🇪🇨

[@lunashepard5347]

arianne s. Same same same

[@adrianaulloa8857]

Hi Barry!, here is Adriana to thank you for the lovely video, its great you liked the treats i've sent to you, our chocolate is THE BEST i told you, hope one of them is reaching the #1 of your favorite candy list. ;) PD: sorry to my fellow citizens who thought the treats were very few, i know i know, there's so much love and chocolate to share here. ill do better next time. Hahaha GO ECUADOR!

[@ejsadlt]

Adriana Ulloa te faltaron los chifles y las galletas amor

[@jaelenearteaga7134]

Lol I'm Ecuadorian and I have never seen half of these chocolates 😂 Qué pasó con los Tangos, galleta Amor etc 🤔

[@valeriacordova7943]

Los tangos y las galletas amor no son producidos en Ecuador, Nestle es una empresa Gringa... La Universal es ecuatoriana.

[@jaelenearteaga7134]

+Valeria Córdova si pero son mucho más populares que lo que él comió

[@PierinaNarea2906]

Pero tangos y galletas amor eran producidos por La Universal hasta que para no quebrar vendió su receta a Nestlé!

[@mily2219]

Jaelene Arteaga exacto 😂 tangos are life 😍

[@jimelanevarez753]

Faltaron los platanitos :c

[@JoshRueff]

Barry- your videos are fun! Glad I found your channel. My wife and I just came back from a 3 month trip to Ecuador, so really enjoyed this video especially. Ecuador does have amazing chocolate!

[@mrbarrylewis]

thanks Josh

[@miguelrealp]

*The best chocolate

[@miguelrealp]

@Heysel Blood I refer to the commodity. After processing yea, British or Swiss are the best

[@chandlerfrantz3140]

I gotta stop watching these in the middle of the night, it gets me so hungry.

[@lukereinhardt4638]

Haha i literally just walked downstairs for a snack

[@bassmakouki2167]

I'm literally doing that right now

[@xsucookaros]

You should try gourmet Ecuadorian Chocolat, like Pacari or cacaoyere.

[@d_xcvi]

Proud ecuadorian here! I'm glad you enjoyed our treats (now I'm missing my country, but anyways) You should visit Ecuaador and try not only the sweets and treats but also some food, cause let me tel you, IT'S DELICIOUS! and you wont regret it.

[@oldasyouromens]

Toffee in the US is hard and crunchy, as you know from tasting that SKOR bar. Taffy is soft.

[@srahmanblake]

I'm really enjoying this series Barry! I'd love to see you bring back the mini food series though!

[@mrbarrylewis]

yep i'm still doing those for sure

[@MinnieBoo614]

Barry Lewis can you do a mini cake

[@Nancy1795]

Ecuadorian chocolate is the best in the whole world!!! Thank you for sharing our tastes to the world! :)

[@EnnAzazel]

Nanzii Noboa yea ecuador for life am i right

[@jenniferniola1108]

best chocolate ever! 😄.. missed manicris, tangos, turroncito, chocobanana, amor cookies. la universal = the universal. thanks to taste a little bit from our diverse country! 😊

[@bvampire2]

Oh yeah MANICRIS!!!

[@sinnlosen]

Manicho :^)

[@b26430]

We Americans don't call taffy and toffee the same thing because they aren't. Taffy is a chewy stretchy often but not always fruity candy. Toffee is like what is in a skor or Heath bar it's hard n buttery delicious.

[@MsCptMal]

You were cracking me up in this video. I'm not sure what's up with people flinging penguins in the sea but I appreciate that it's a tradition that both Ecuadorians and Americans share. Also, I'm slightly confused now about what other countries call toffee and taffy. In America toffee is a coffee/caramel candy that is either a hard candy or extremely tough and chewy/sticky while taffy is usually a soft and gooey candy that comes in a million flavors. Taffy makers actually 'pull' and 'stretch' the candy. It is pretty neat to watch.

[@mrbarrylewis]

:-)

[@zyeonjoitell4118]

Love these videos it makes working third shift brighter! By the way as someone from the USA i find your accents and comments AMAZING!

[@MsPandacakes]

lol Taffy and toffee (for the most part) are two completely different confections. Taffy is soft and chewy and is made by boiling sugar until it gets thick and then it gets pulled on a "taffy puller" until it forms a glossy, smooth appearance , toffee is hard caramalized sugar either in a block, sheet or crumbs, kinda like peanut brittle without the peanuts.

[@ghidorahs1fan209]

Toffee in many countries is different to American toffee. Like in Australia have soft and hard toffees they are the same ingredients but are cooked to different heats to get the different textures and they can be any flavors. American candy apples are called toffee apples in many countries including Australia and they are covered in the hard toffee. Then Taffy is different again but I don't know much about that as its pretty rare were I live and I have never tried to make it myself.

[@googlesaccount4592]

Cómo no ha probado los TANGOS!!!!!!!!! No me lo puedo creer, si es lo mejor de lo mejor de los dulces ecuatorianos!!! I can't believe Barry doesn't taste Tangos, it's absolutely the best of the best among ecuadorian candy!!

[@giss588]

Agree 100%

[@DiegoCando]

Fran Herrera Por lo menos no le mando una clarita, segurito se le pegaban las muelas

[@pabloidep3]

Si como no pudo haber probado los tangos

[@MrUs]

Fran Herrera Hubiera sido interesante melcocha!

[@nyc.ole.]

Falta el tango y el barilete!!!!

[@PickUpThePaintbrush]

Hahaha love this video. I've only been watching you a few months but it seems like your videos are just getting better and better. So glad I clicked on the youtube advert to your page!

[@yodudeHQ]

I remember in primary school when we had those Christmas party's and stuff, the thing which would tell you whether it was a good party or not was whether someone made marshmallows covered in chocolate on the top with a smartie for decoration, good times

[@beakinch2461]

I love this series and I must say I love you, your work and can't wait to your cookbook get here! keep up the awesome work!

[@mroptimusprime9022]

Very late to the party, but I really do appreciate this. Though I live in the States, I’m Ecuadorian, no surprise there. Most of these Treats make up a good portion of my pantry. Guayaquil is where I usually go to visit family and there’s a local mall with a supermarket. It’s a paradise. Some things you can get in the US, but there are other things that can only be found in Ecuadorian markets. Btw, I’ve seen all of Barshens and Ashens, so I’m a big fan and have now started watching your content. It’s very different from Barshens but in a good way. I like the family friendly vibe here. Don’t tell Stuart, you’ll always be my favorite, Barry.

[@jamilemunoz4331]

I am half Ecuadorian and have had most of this stuff. Amazing. Huevitos are my favorite out of all. First ever video I watched from you and immediately subscribed. Keep doing what ur doing man, cuz u r hilarious.

[@grimTales1]

Taffy candy isn't really the same as toffee, its more like penny chews (?) in the UK as it doesnt taste of caramel I think

[@diegolavayenalarcon]

Hi Barry, Greetings from Ecuador... your video was funny as always... and no, Bambolina is not a expression we use for excitement hahaha... I think it's just the name of it... Manichos and so many products you tested are from a local company which name was so funny to hear from you "LA Universal"... it's most like "The Universal" but nothing related with Hollywood... anyway, it was so hilarious... I'm glad Adriana sent you those lovely treats, but I think she missed some that are extraordinary like Organic Chocolate Pacari and handycraft sweets from our Highland... Great videos!!!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Thanks a bunch Diego

[@connelduffy8834]

i could watch these everyday there so good

[@lindroe4446]

Little bit pate, but you can get marshmallows covered in dark chocolate in Denmark in every supermarket, and there is some with white chocolate in some stores.

[@lindroe4446]

They're Flødeboller

[@abbiehyndman312]

I need to watch these earlier in the day they make me want to eat food. Barry I have watched all your videos on trying food and loved them all my favourite one was the Swiss candy one because I've tried some of the sweets you ate! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!

[@MrJUANJIN]

Great video Barry I'm from Ecuador those are some good treats from here Cheers

[@nadiaduman3208]

This is so good!! We do have really chocolate. I think that you need to try chips from Ecuador like Tortolines, riscos, rosquitas.

[@mndydltn1980]

i would have been in chocolate heaven!! Those looked amazing!!

[@mrbarrylewis]

Was something really good about that choc

[@xriskiex]

I love these vids of you eating sweets from around the world. Makes me want to travel and buy loads of sweets lol. X

[@kingofnothing4208]

in the USA, we have a candy bar called rocky road. it is chocolate covered Marshmallow with cashews.

[@marissahelms7074]

Hi Barry! I'm a huge fan! I was wondering if u could tell us where we could get the chocotin? Where do u think we could order it?

[@reillyowens3152]

More reviewers/chefs should be like you. I'm going to repeat some of the things already said here, but you're so very authentic (not in a TOO creepy way) and you always make me laugh. Thanks for being so awesome! Could you and Dr. Ashen do more sand-witch (get it?) and tin challenges.

[@Emsgems613]

Barry you are one of my favorite foodies to watch on KZbin! You're always so funny and fun to watch! I'm from the USA and I love watching UK KZbinrs, I love these videos and your giant videos as well. I'm going to be trying out a lot of your recipes (especially the dessert ones) very soon and I can't wait to see more! When is the next giant video coming?

[@feritaly]

I was looking some material to teach my British boyfriend about Ecuador and I found this video. You are pretty funny but I might suggest if you do another video of Ecuador or well just another country, try to find the traditional treats. Ecuador has so many of them! We have melcocha, dulce de guayaba, turrón, etc.

[@suecaz27]

Love the videos Barry. Me and a relation have been sending each other US and UK sweets after watching them. So you are a star for international trade.

[@AllyAllyZONE]

You should come to Ecuador and taste all the incredible food we have!

[@avonleanne]

do you have "vintage" treats in the UK? I have been trying to gather up some treats from my childhood that are not around anymore except occasionally I will find one or two...just wondering....

[@lucky1atlas2]

OMG you're amazing Barry. By the way thank you for the welsh cakes recipe it's delicious, but I use cinnamon instead of mixed spice.

[@itxofficial8281]

Hhahahaha Barry you're my man!!! I read the video description and INSTANTLY, the song "Ecuador" popped into my mind!!! I was so amazed when you actually played the song on your phone :D

[@saracalderonsudario883]

Viva Ecuador!!!!!❤️❤️❤️ finally i found a vídeo like this of my country!!!!

[@shuriKen469]

is Ecuador a safe place to visit? seems the chocolate is to die for and should be experienced first hand.

[@scarlettrodriguez4956]

i am Ecuadorian and me and my mom watched and we thought we have never seen someone who is not from Ecuador love our candy that much! LOL BTW new subscriber right here me

[@moomills3597]

Barry lewis I love your channel you are so so funny when ever I fell down I just watch one of your videos and I fell fine and happy again

[@kineticpsi]

Taffy and Toffee are two different things to me. I always think of salt-water taffy and a Heath bar for toffee. One is soft and chewy and the other is not. Are they more similar in the UK?

[@domenicaalava6192]

hello !! i'm from ECUADOR !! the snacks is delicius !!! much snacks !!!

[@kati3harrison]

a giant wagon wheel sounds so nice hah

[@mrbarrylewis]

Yes! I will do just that i'm sure

[@TieganSwift]

The jam filled ones are the best 😉

[@kati3harrison]

yeh they are ahah +TieganSwift

[@Frauleingruen]

Absolutely great video. I just love every video because you are so entertaining and all that stuff is sooo good looking and delicious :) Greetings from germany

[@AlexanderWu4587]

Hope to see some Taiwanese, Chinese, and Vietnamese treats soon. You've got so much energy, it's so intoxicating. I can feel it all the way in Southern California. Stay cool.

[@carolacosta129]

ooooooomg!! you had the best cholates and cadies from my country! vaferito and maanicho are the best

[@pabloidep3]

I'm from Ecuador and your video was so cool happy to be ecuadorian

[@ReaperUnreal]

I'm going to Ecuador in a month, this video is very useful to me.

[@veronicagovea936]

How I miss all those sweets! Ecuadorian chocolate is amazing! Barry you should try our banana chips, cassave chips and the salty treats now! :)

[@puttytat007]

My Virgin Kitchen, we call it El Universal and it's NOT from the USA it's a Ecuadorian company in Guayaquil. My Grandfather lived across the street from the company. Boy the smells were fantastic. :) Love your videos. The guy singing Ecuador isn't from Ecuador, he just came up with that song (sort of song) when he visited and fell in love with the country. I think he stayed and is from EUR.

[@kirsty001]

Great video as always. I would live to try them all.

[@VirKhullar]

Barry, your channel has inspired me to start my own and has given me so much inspiration, thank you. PS: this vid made me laugh so much haha

[@NoraMariaV]

I love these tasting videos! You're just so funny and not afraid to be wacky and have a laugh :D

[@emmawalsh8529]

"Let it go, let it go, I am from Ecuador" I am loving that quotex

[@camigonzalez1483]

Yeeeeeees!!! Ecuador finally :D

[@asdrubalvivanco2301]

Barry,You are the best making amazing videos!

[@EliLee]

[@pratofundo]

OMG, licking the cow head killed me. Hahahahah

[@attfittoth3677]

Im ecuadorian, loved the video, most treats are delicious. ManiCHo actually is pronounced ash in naCHos, because the "CH" in spanish sounds diferent, and is not maniac is because "mani" is peanut, an ingredient for the chocolate.

[@jacksonwarne9065]

dude love your vids i love doing taste-test vids too! keep it up!

[@Idiotcookbook]

Some people can't take a joke, you are plenty funny and entertaining I binge watch your videos when I am feeling down. ^_^

[@inakilopezsuarez]

By far my favorite playlist

[@mrbarrylewis]

Cheers, have fun trying these foods

[@22paulae]

Manicho actually stands for peanut + chocolate which translations are "maní" and "chocolate" :)

[@nikkidee94]

What is that song that you play in between tasting candy in the beginning?

[@derickarteaga4183]

I'm Ecuadorian and Hondurian and I love this video because if you ask 20 people about both those countries only will know it

[@derickarteaga4183]

[@Gaby02-]

[@ira_souza]

RELAX! Your "PACOCA" was cute :) Ps. LOOOOOOVE THIS KIND OF VÍDEO and the "my mind say nooooo... But my bodyyy..." Ahahaha

[@Over_Toasted]

Isn't toffee a different kind if candy, almost like a brittle with chocolate and caramel? Taffy is soft and chewy.

[@JaegerDreadful]

You know Barry, one day your daughter's are going to be teenagers. And if they see these video's of you with some silly jokes in them they be like: ... Da fuq dad?!

[@mrbarrylewis]

they do that now i'm sure

[@dausb]

Barry pls make like a top ten treats of the world video!

[@superemillita2710]

Fangirling so much cause you tasted stuff from our country :D luv u Barry

[@wickedlilladyxox9009]

I just watched a commercial telling me to watch your video. While I was trying to watch your video. Lol!

[@alexisvictoria3655]

There actually are penguins that live by the equator and that's right where Ecuador is correct? I think that's why he said something about throwing penguins in the sea? Its the Galapagos penguin.

[@cassandra6315]

Correct

[@whitewolf3178]

Oh and the osito thingy must have hardened during transit because its suppose I be creamy kinda like Nutella

[@HidenLotus]

Whats the song at 9 28 i have been trying to find that song for a long time and couldnt find it

[@MissDemolish]

"Throw a penguin with me" lmao.. Omg you're too funny.

[@soziomulan7830]

I'm so excited, to see how you react to the Swiss Stuff! :)

[@mrbarrylewis]

can't wait

[@KatherineJhajairaMoraFierro]

Try ecuadorian tipical food and fuits and you will be amazed!

[@TheJaimster10]

When me and Barry have the same phone case 😎👌🏼 love your videos!

[@Mushnp]

Toffee and Taffy are similar in texture, but they are made a bit differently and usually taste quite a bit different.

[@thejdogcool]

Toffee is hard and usually caramel, chocolate or coffee flavored. Taffy is soft and usually fruit flavored.

[@Mushnp]

thejdogcool Toffee isn't always hard but you are right, its usually a caramel/molasses/treacle flavored thing.

[@thejdogcool]

Well, usually hard or hard-ish.

[@alem4831]

"Howdy, folks! How's it goin'?" If this isn't a t-shirt yet, it needs to be ;)

[@EllieApperley]

I was playing a game whilst watching this and I must've missed the first "throwing penguins in the sea" reference and now I just don't know whats going on :')

[@kingcheefty12]

BAMBOLINA BARRY! Why you don't have your own primetime show on lets say channel 4, im struggling to understand. Anyway love all your vids and hopefully you do some sort of appearance in Glasgow sometime ;)
