@@imelimadame9244 @Imeli Madame :D Yeah, that's actually a fair reason to challenge someone to a duel. As a kid, I despised runny egg yolks, so my mother always made scrambled eggs. I just always assumed that's how it's done. (Bonus feature: you end up with only smashable components which allows a very mixable, porridge-like consistency. Excactly what you want as a kid :)). As a more sophisticated grown up, I now also prefer my eggs sunny side up and veryyyy runny (and am able to keep the spinache, eggs and potatoes seperated for a bit longer than before). So the scrambled eggs are no longer a hill I am willing to die on. ;) I originally grew up around Hannover. Sending my best regards to Hamburg. Cheers!

There was this Lebanese place right next to my university and you couldn't move an inch there when it was lunch time, because everyone was having lunch there. Everyday they would cook a giant pot of lentil soup. Whatever you would buy there, it would come with a bowl of lentil soup which you could refill as many times as you wanted.

German food is often not very spicy. Especially the foods that aren't fancy. Spices aren't exactly grown in Germany. A lot of the foods base on the natural flavours of their ingredients. In my experience at least.

[@jujubees]

True. I live in Germany and it's like Germans are afraid of spice. When they say a dish is spicy it really is not at all.

[@jeanche2420]

Of course, you can always add your own spice 😀 I myself would have added a small scotch bonnet pepper, which adds both heat and an allspicey flavor to the dish.

[@bearo8]

@@jeanche2420 that's definitely one way. I personally like nutmeg or allspice. Also bay leaves and juniber berries. They give a nice taste.

[@RR-kp5ps]

The spiciest German dish I'm aware of is Currywurst, which is inspired by British-Indian cuisine. Most spicy dishes around the world often have some kind of connection with the Indian subcontinent or South America where the majority of popular spices originated.

[@bearo8]

@@RR-kp5ps There is Pfeffersteak which is basically steak with a pepper-sauce. And maybe Soljanka a soup that originated in East Germany that can be spicy. But yes Currywurst is probably one of the spicier foods in the German cuisine. German cuisine just isn't spicy. Flavourful yes but not spicy.

In Trinidad and Tobago ours is definately Stewed Chicken soup with a dhal base. You put a little bit of oil in a pot and add some sugar, when it turns to a sort of dark caramel color but not burnt, you add in your seasoned chicken and peeled and cut up veges like carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams and what we call eddoes along with some chopped onion and garlic. Mix till all is coated and let it fry up for a few minutes then add water to cover and add the cooked dhal which is basically boiling split peas in water and pureeing with a hand blender. Cook until everything is fully cooked and add more water if you have to. Closer to the end add macaroni and dumplings which are flour and salt kneeded with water until a stiff dough forms. You can add finely grated carrots if you wish. Add your salt and pepper to taste and add a little bit of Golden Ray or butter (if you can find golden ray that takes it over the top) and add a little touch of dark soy sauce. I hope you see this and make it! You'll love it! Trini Cooking with Natasha, Taste of Trini and Foodie Nation should have similar recipes but not sure if they used dhal as the base though. Love you Beryl!

I thought just the same thing! It is a typical dish you make from leftover chicken. You pick the bits and pieces from the bones and throw them into the sauce. Also, for me, it has to have asparagus and green peas in it, but the vegetables used probably differ depending on the area you live in.

What a perfect episode to watch on a rainy/gloomy day, like today

[@alexandras8997]

Yess, Hühnerfrikassee is definitely a cozy rainy day food for me too. My parents would often make this on Sundays in the winter. The way we made it was to boil a whole chicken with some veggies to make a soup out of the broth, and then take the cooked meat to make the frikassee. So the meat gets picked off the bones and cut/scrambled into pieces and cooked in the sauce for a while, and we would eat it with a side of rice. I dont know if it is that common to pair it with rice, but that's how my family did it. Another crucial ingredient for us is the white asparagus, and we would always use the canned asparagus for this dish. I love the way my family made this dish, because you would first get a nice hot bowl of chicken soup, and then the Hühnerfrikassee as the main dish. Perfect for a rainy cold day in Germany😊

[@girlnamedchris]

super cool to see a dish from Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 I feel like there are many variations of this across Latin America & as Beryl said, it’s amazing to see how much people across the world have in common. I’m also Puerto Rican and my family has also made this with other white/sharp cheeses - you can use Gouda, Oaxacan cheese, queso blanco, and so on. Depending on what’s available/people’s preference, we may also swap coffee for hot cocoa and regular cookies (especially Maria, iykyk!) for saltines. And again, it changes person to person, some people prefer to dip the cheese/cookie/crackers and others prefer to mix everything in and scoop it out. also, perfect video for today as it is, in fact, cold & rainy. 😂

I am amazed by the absolutely delicious and comforting flavor of red lentils no matter how little or how much you add to them in a soup.

[@vidishajoshi9482]

We don't make it at home but as soon as it rains my mind goes Jalebi Dahi (Indian sweet with curd/yogurt) , my favorite thing to eat on a rainy morning as I have childhood memories attached to it

[@HumanityBeforeReligion]

Jalebi is so easy to make, try it. I used to think same too that i can not make it at home but really i made amazing ones in first try. Go for it 👍👍👍

As a Colombian living in PR, yes. This is the backbone of our society.

WHOAAA I’ve never seen chocolate in that tube form before!!! I know it’s just a different shape but I think it’s super super cool!!!

[@BerylShereshewsky]

It's ACTUALLY from a filipino grocery store! I used this in my comfort foods video haha

[@real_Fabiot]

I have never seen a Hühnerfrikasse made this way and we used to eat it all the time when I was younger... usually the chicken is shredded up in the sauce and there also is aspargus in it, and usually you also serve a side dish with it, mostly rice (that's the way I know and love it)

[@sagarchaudhary5260]

The german chicken dish is looking so pretty and making me famished.

[@lisam2026]

I’m German. I really liked this dish as a child. Both of my grandmas made some amazing Hühnerfrikassee. I don’t eat meat anymore but if I ever find a good alternative to chicken I will try this recipe again for sure😍

[@jamiewojciechowski205]

Beryl, I just love all of your videos about cooking and food, with recipes from all over the world and your viewers sharing their memories. Such a nice way to open up our horizons and try new foods from all over the world. Thanks for sharing.

[@kktt725]

As a person in the UK I appreciate the rainy day foods

[@2many_sodiumz587]

My family loves a good moose stew on rainy cold or winter days. My SO goes up to Northern Ontario every fall and sometimes comes home with moose and grouse. This is one of our family favourites.

[@naturewanderer1609]

Thank you for the pakoras and chai!! Honestly even I think pakoras you make at home are always the best!! Here in India eating pakoras and chai is a family affair!! Guys if you haven't tried pakoras, you must!!! It's super easy and super yummmm 😋❤️

[@wasabe3191]

Here in Puerto Rico we also eat something called "Sancocho", which is a stew with meat, vegetables, it goes very well with white rice, bread, tostones or avocado. You should give it a try!!!

[@countduckula9977]

Hi Beryl, I live your videos both you and all your guests are wonderful to watch. You have such a lovely community & I am so happy to be part of - it is so welcoming & fun. I love Coriander Chutney! You & this community are so diverse & make this huge world a bit smaller in a nice way.

My great grandmother put the cheese and crackers in coffee for us. We had no business drinking coffee that young but thinking of the flavors brings tears to my eyes.

[@aleafaye8112]

When I saw iraq in the title I knew what she was gonna make already. I'm half afro iraqi and African american and my dad used to make this for breakfast in the winter all the time its my favorite with fresh samoon to dip in there instead of using a spoon

[@Henudable]

Me too! Knew it right away.

[@shannonrobinson262]

For me, ham split pea soup with French bread is my favorite rainy day meal. My daughters prefer potato leek soup. We don’t get many rainy days in central California, so it’s best to make the most of them.

[@gaurigatha]

Interesting variation of the Huehnerfrikassee! As a german I make it this way: chickenbreast chunks, capers, mushrooms, white asparagus, white wine, worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt, lemon juice and that is the the way to make it and serve it with rice. I have never seen anyone cook your variation of it. Frikassee is always a stew and not a sauce or gravy over meat.

[@samiranasser7588]

Hühnerfrikassee weckt soo schöne Erinnerungen 😍😍😍 meine Mama hat es uns immer an regnerischen Tagen gemacht und jetzt mache ich das selbe für meine Kinder und sie lieben es ❤❤

[@jmcamero]

I am from Venezuela and even though not everyone does this, we also have hot chocolate with a good piece of cheese (queso llanero) which is a hard and salty... awesome

[@isabelgonzalez2719]

For years, rainy or not, my father's hot chocolate was awesome. Chocolate Cortés, evaporated milk and cheese. They don't go for the crackers, but "pan de agua" recently baked from the neighborhood bakery, La Imperial in Ponce, 🇵🇷 ❤🖤

[@kattyberrios8775]

Yes! Next time she should try the chocolate with much less water and more milk, especially evaporated milk. Also, queso de bola (Edam) works great.

[@martinaavila285]

Wow, this video was a nice surprise! I used to live in Bogota when I was younger and in school for a snack, they would give us the hot chocolate and cheese with a slice of brioche bread. It was one of my favourite things to have and watching it now gives me a nice sense of nostalgia :). Thanks Beryl, your videos always help me feel like I'm home!

for the lentil soup you can also deep fry some small squares of thin pita bread and it tastes soo goodd and adds a bit of crunch to the soup

You could do a favourite memories meal! One of mine growing up in New Zealand when we were on holidays my dad would go fishing at dawn and I’d wake up to fish frying - fresh fish in a little flour, fried with butter... delicious!

So happy I found this channel. I feel so transported when I watch. Love the content.

[@simonemartinez9927]

I’m Puerto Rican and I grew up and love this way of having hot chocolate. One hint is to not put your crackers into your cup until you are about to start eating. It’s more of a crumble as you go situation. Also, you can opt out of the cracker into the cup method and just butter your crackers and dunk as you eat ( which is how I grew up eating them) as for the cheese well queso de papa is similar to mild cheddar but isn’t exactly mild cheddar. It’s best just to get the queso de papa. A tastier substitute is Gouda cheese which is very common in Puerto Rico enjoy

[@ImPerfectlyTwitta]

I will be making the second chicken dish. Reminds me of bread less chicken pot pie. Or creamy chicken soup. Side note: I literally commented this right before you said “deconstructed chicken pot pie”

[@jw4390]

Omg I'm so excited I'm german and "Hühnerfrikassee" is my favourite dish. It's so mild and makes me feel so cozy. I usually also put white asparagus in it

[@ras6070]

Germans discussing every difference on German dish. Because they are different everywhere. Our Hühnerfrikassee is also diffrent in the making process and also ingredients. But I still agree on the rainy dish, even though I make it vegan

[@norak.bartholin544]

It's interesting to see the different variations. :) for ex. I never make Hühnerfrikassee with milk. 🙈😄

[@Strawberrihead]

The ingredients reminded me of chicken pot pie so I'm glad she made the connection. Everything is the same except the pastry and cutting the protein down into bite size before baking. The only difference is who have to reduce it a lot more until it's thick enough to hold together and bake with the pie dough. Huhnerfrikasse looks simple but delicious and comforting, I would definitely love to try the different German variations!

[@19sunheart96]

I'm German and have never eaten Hühnerfrikasse😂 only Hühnersuppe

[@norak.bartholin544]

@@19sunheart96 you're definitely missing something!! :D

[@MrHodoAstartes]

@@Strawberrihead It's usually eaten with rice or some other starch. Dishes around a sauce based on butter and flour (effectively forming a roux but the process is a bit different) are pretty common in Germany as well as Switzerland and Austria. France has a bit of a different methodology, but you find very similar concepts. My grandma used to cook a whole chicken for a broth, then breaking down the meat to put into the dish. So she'd use an entire bird for a soup and main course. Today it's obviously too much trouble to do it that way, and the meat does get pretty tough. But many cook books offer variations of Hühnerfrikassee. As mentioned in the video, just about any white meat may be used and anywhere from all the vegetables to none may be in the sauce. With a very good stock you may end up with a rather pricy dish that's more or less meat in a sauce and still have a very deep and rounded flavor.

[@kendrai.304]

Beautiful, now i wish i had more of these ingredients to try but I'm very sick with a really bad head/sinus cold. Thank you for bringing in some sunshine in this very uncomfortable worldly situation. Much love 💞
