Some people don’t feel tastes as much as others and I guess it’s easier to enjoy more foods when you don’t feel the tastes really strongly.

Mamaliga! What can I say? 🥰 I fell in love with this dish as an exchange student in Romania. I remember my first night with my “new family”. They were so nice but it was awkward. I was thinking, “What have I done? I’m here a whole year!” I felt overwhelmed and suddenly scared. At dinner we all sat down together to eat. My host mom sat a BIG bowl of mamaliga on the table. The youngest little brother said, “Mamaliga!” With a big smile. I knew I’d have to show I liked it no matter what so I wouldn’t offend them. With my first bite, I fell in love. It was magical. It lightened the mood, and the awkwardness for all of us faded. At the end of dinner, it was time for bed. Mama in broken English, came to me and said, “My son. Love you. Happy for you here”. Mamaliga made me a Romanian son. To this day it floods me with the feeling of safety, comfort and family. ❤️

Would like to believe that, but it might also just be that they weren't afraid to use loads of fats, sugar and carbohydrates in their cooking, which are all the things our body thinks taste best and wants to eat more of because they will help us store energy that we would need in hard times when we can't get enough energy through our food. But then again, because they love you so much, that's why they want to feed you well and take extra care when cooking and the food turns out extra good. So you're probably right :)

At the beginning, she clarified that “comfort food” is a personal thing, so she said she wasn’t going to claim that any one dish represents an entire culture or country. I take pleasure in cooking, so it doesn’t matter if the dish is difficult or time-consuming. “Comfort food” is, indeed, different for ever person. I live in Indiana, yet MY favorite comfort food is a Dutch dish called stamppot. Kale and mashed potatoes with smoked sausage.

[@nurhidayat9162]

I can’t say more, this is not about “comfort food “for everyone, but for someone, even its complicated one, u will don’t care about it.

[@amzilla]

As a Dutch person this is such a pleasant surprise to hear! Stamppot is any mixture of potato, vegetable, meat and gravy when mashed together here. It's often eaten with sausage but I also love it with bacon cubes or sliced pork belly. Your favourite is probably the most iconic stamppot along with peen-en-uien (carrot and onion) stamppot. Oh, you'll probably love to know that some people like to add a little bit of mustard or piccalilli to their mash to add a hint of acidity. Often once you've almost finished you plate you will be asked if you want apple sauce. If you say yes, a spoon or two of chunky apple sauce gets thrown on the plate. Some people like to keep the sauce separate but generally there will be potato bits in the sauce when you eat it, lol. It might sound gross but it's surprisingly nice! Thank you for letting me info-dump under your reply, I've never had the opportunity to talk to a foreigner about stamppot and not have them look disgusted so this is a special moment :')

[@watchnerds]

The thing about indonesian cuisine is that most of it is quite complicated to make because it was made to fill up the serving of one family and most of the time for the dinner then next day for breakfast so you don't have to cook everytime you hungry thus why we made it delicious enough so that we're not bored of the taste after one meal. If it's just a random craving we just buy it in delivery or in a small stall just around the corner. Oh yeah, if you gonna make make another soto again, do add thinly sliced and fried potato (no need salt, just plain fried potato chips) and eat it together with soto. And if you want it to be even more exotic, get a coconut flakes in store and roast them a little on top of frying pan with no oil, fry thinly sliced 1-2 clove of garlic, then put them all in food processor. Add to your soto ayam together with the potato chips.

[@DBT1007]

The thing with Indonesian cuisine is... YOU EAT IT WITH RICE. That's why it tastes so rich. And basically this also for the other Southeast Asian foods. Especially from the Malay ethnicity. Malaysia, Singapore, Southern Thailand, Philippines(but Philippines is kinda.. More westernish and tribe-ish. They also eat the food without rice too and with some raw n extreme ingredients such as balut and the sago worm). They always cook food for the whole family and to eat with rice. Except for some dessert. Dessert is dessert.. u eat it without rice of course XD. That's why the taste is so rich. saltier, spicier, sweeter, sour-er, etc. It's supposed to eat with rice. And btw, that girl gave u all wrong information about "Soto ayam". Soto is not soup. Soup is soup. Soto is Soto. But yeah it is on the same category as soup in English. But we also have chicken soup recipe. Soto n soup are different. Soto is soto. Soto is more like curry than soup. If curry can keep its name instead of "veggie spicy soup", then Soto ayam also need to stay as Soto ayam. Not "chicken soup". Or maybe "chicken Soto" is fine. Ayam = chicken. Chicken soup and chicken Soto are different. That girl looks like Chinese descendant. She maybe don't know lot about Indonesian stuff. Or just don't know how to choose word.

[@gimbulr.7624]

@@DevilishDude he/she doesn't mean to be racist... often from chinese descendant, they would alter the recipes according to more chinesse culture, hence towards more bland than the original recipe... Indonesian recipe are a lot more causing cholestrol, diabetes, high blood pressure because the amount of spices, sugar, salt, oil, coconut milk in the dishes are a lot... Can't stop eating it tho.. If you go to Indonesia, you will find the different of taste between chinese descendant or arab/indian descendant or malay descendant recipes... They alter it according to their mother culture.. And if Indonesian called someone or refer something from their tribe/culture/descendant as oh it's javanese, it's sundanese, arabic, chinese, etc, it doesn't mean they are racial expression.. because a lot of culture are in Indonesia (hundred something more) and each of them has its own unique-ness whether it's recipes, language, ability, cultural-like way of living, so for easier calling it's always use the race/tribe name.. Example, soto ayam recipes in the video in Indonesia is not only that.. There is soto banjar, soto betawi, soto manado, coto makassar, soto ayam (the one in the vid), and other soto recipes...

Champorado on a rainy day (or a typhoon) is sooo comforting. I like champorado with dilis (fried anchovy) only because it's easier to eat with every bite. But any salty fish will do. Also, i prefer it to eat it with freshly fried fish so it'll be crispy.

[@dthurley8490]

Beryl, I just found your channel a few days ago and subscribed almost immediately. Since then I have been watching a ton of your videos. I must tell you, the way you present each dish is so relatable. You are not over complicating things with chef terminology or saying if you don't have this ingredient you can not make this dish. You are exploring food from around the world and making it accessible to all. You are doing a very good job and I hope you have great success.

[@TriWidyan]

That dried salty fish on philippines comfort food is also a one of comfort side dish in indonesian lunch. We called that fish 'ikan asin'. We eat it with warm rice, belachan sambal(sambal terasi), sour soup(sayur asem) or just raw veggies, fried tempe or tofu or both, and our best tofu is yellow tofu, which is made and then soaked in salted tumeric water. So the tofu is not bland like chinese tofu. Perfect combination for lunch. Especially if the sambal is very very spicy.

I'm happy she made Polenta as that's always the first food any Romanian friend has told me about :)

[@StevXtreme]

@@laurakissthechef4674 It does bother me quite a bit that people mistake polenta with mamaliga. They're made from different flours and with highly different cooking times. Mamaliga is made with medium-ground yellow cornmeal, while polenta is made with yellow corn semolina. Additionally, classic mamaliga is to be made in a pot that favours caramelization, such as a cast iron one, and is cooked for a much longer time. This makes it so that it gains a toasted corn taste, similar to cornflakes. Additionally, the mamaliga showcased here is a variant. Neither cheese, nor butter, nor sour cream go IN the mamaliga at cooking time (they probably add a good taste, but it's not really mamaliga at that point - more like a porridge). The differences matter :)

[@laurakissthechef4674]

@@StevXtreme oh I didn't know that! My friends from Romania just call it Polenta, that's why I didn't have an idea that it's different! They probably don't want to explain all the time ;) My boyfriend is Italian and he uses different kinds of grades of corn flower or grits to make polenta. In Italy they sell many different varieties of yellow, white and brown corn grits in different grinding grades. He also just cooks it with water and salt!

If you like polenta I have a version of my great grandmother's that I modified you can try. Polenta: blend 1 cup corn meal in a blender to refine the grain to a finer texture.On the stove bring 2 cups water and 2 cups milk to a low boil, Whisk in 3 tbs of Better than Bouillon Chicken, 3 Tbs butter, 1 Tbs garlic powder, 1 tsp black pepper and salt. Add in blended corn meal, whisk constantly 10 min. Add in 4 oz of herbed feta or Chevre (Humboldt Farms) and a quarter cup of shaved parmesan and continue whisking another 2 to 4 minutes until cheese has melted through and throughly combined. You can add additional herbs to taste. Ragu topping(Start this First): Saute together 1 medium or 2 small shallots thinly sliced, 2 large portabella mushrooms diced, 2 large carrots cleaned and diced. Saute until soft. When the veggies are soft add in 1 to 2 cup(s) of veggie/chicken stock, 1 can of diced/crushe roma tomatoes (san marzano), 2 tbs of tomato paste, 2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp of s & p, and reduce down on medium to low heat for 30min to an hour depending on how thick a ragu you want while stirring occasionally. You can also choose to add in ground lamb or beef to the ragu for a heartier dish. This is great to have in the fall or winter months as a comfort dish.
