We couldn't get to town because there was a thick coat of ice on our truck & we couldn't get the doors open! We barely went outside because it felt like your face would freeze if you stayed out for more than a couple minutes.

I am from Hawaii. We are known for our nice weather and scenery. We receive a lot of sunshine and rainfall frequently, so it is easy to grow fruits such as papaya, mango, soursop, lychee, ulu (breadfruit), banana, lilikoi (passion fruit), guava, and coconut. We also grow kalo (taro), sweet potato, ginger, turmeric, cabbage, and watercress. There is a lot of development on the islands, so locally-grown produce is not plentiful and can be expensive. We heavily rely on importation, and imported foods tend to be cheaper, so it is difficult to support local farmers. We also LOVE fish, such as ahi (tuna), uhu (parrotfish), and ao (marlin). Poke is a side dish that includes raw ahi cut into cubes and seasoned with salt, roasted kukui nut (candlenut), limu (an algae), soy sauce, and more. It is delicious! There are also many shoreline fish that are popular. Thank you for your video! Very fascinating to see how those who live in extreme temperatures get and prepare their food!

And it starts with us. My girlfriend loves ordering groceries on the app for curbside pickup and I can’t stand that.

It’s nice, but then you’re starting to lose with public and humanity in a way - if that makes sense?

I do agree that some people are just introverted and don’t like being around a lot of people. Especially when we go to stores like Walmart, where I live those stores are always packed with my people (Mexicans) lol and it’s just so crowded and I wouldn’t want to be around that many people as well but I had a bad experience on grocery delivery/curb pick up. I got the worst looking fruit and vegetables, the packaging on more of the items were damaged and more. That’s why I just go inside and take care of the shopping myself. Plus I don’t take that long, I go straight in and grab what I need and walk out 👌 I know that some people don’t have the time tho, that’s totally agreeable and understandable.

Did we "need" it? No. Did we consume it all the time? Also no. But we were very lucky to experience it. I think it's so cool that this stuff is available to them, even if it's expensive.

Hello from Egypt. Most of our food here is as you'd imagine middle eastern style, but every country in the middleeast has its own vast array of dishes. Our food is very hearty interms of meat and fat (ghee, most egyptian dishes contain ghee) as for meat, it's staple to have, theres a whole cuisine on grilled meats alone. Spices are for sure essential! Yet our national dish is vegetarian, its called Koshari. Fun fact about it: Egypt's population back in the days was composed mostly of farmers who couldnt always retort to having meat dishes, so they created koshari, a mix of rice, pasta, lentils, chickpeas, fried onions, garlic sauce and tomatoe sauce. Cheap and filled with Callories!! Fish is also available but mostly in coastal cities, it's not popular in inland cities. But there are two types of fish that we eat raw and fermented during easter, Herring and Feseekh (gray mullet i think) which can be traced back to Pharonic time! Breakfast is my favourite, Egyptian Falafel and Ful are a must try (fava beans, also traced from Pharonic times) Breakfast is all about side dishes too, fried eggplants, eggplant salad, friend potatoes, mashed potatoes, salad, pickled salad, omlette.. and many types of cheeses! just pair up and choose your combo for the morning at a local vendor cart who cooks it and prepares it infront of you.

Then I add a couple of tablespoons of the leftover onion oil into a deep pan and add in my washed rice and brown lentils and uncooked pasta and give it a mix then add in water (can boil first in kettle) until it's a bit above the top and then add a bunch of salt. Close lid and mix occasionally. Taste to see if cooked. And during it in the same pan I cooked the onions in keep enough onion oil to coat the pan and add a bunch of minced garlic and some cumin mix and wait till garlic has become golden and then add in a tin of tamato sauce/peeled/chopped tamatoes, with a bit of tomatoe paste if u like and add vinegar, sugar, and salt to taste. Adjust everything as needed! Extremely easy recipe. Afterwards plate the rice lentil pasta mix pour some sauce on top and top with ur crispy onions.

So interesting ! I'd love to go to Poland at some point. In France we also have blood sausage ! It's made with pig blood and intestines, it's called boudin !! It's amazing, it's salty, and we eat it with cooked apples, thus the sugar and salt tastes combine, it's delicious. Very traditional food all around France. Also when you say "cousine" I guess you mean cuisine ! It's pronounced ku-ee-zin (the "u" sound being different from the "oo" sound, you can google it). It means the gastronomy, the culinary culture / type of food (French cuisine, Japanese cuisine, Persian cuisine...) but it also means "kitchen" as a noun ("la cuisine"), and it's the verb for "cook" or "cooking" ("Je vais cuisiner / Je cuisine / Je fais la cuisine = I will cook / I am cooking / I am doing the cooking"). But "cousine" is a real noun in French, it means your female cousin (the daughter of your aunt or uncle). And "cousin" is the same but male version, the son of your aunt or uncle.

I’ve always believed sharing food and how you prepare it shows a lot about your culture. Seeing yours you can tell how hard working you all are and how food brings everyone together. Although a lot of people in the US would probably turn their nose up at it id love to try these dishes. Everything looks good and looks like it’s made with love.

[@SaadMughal-ko5fw]

Why is yr produce moldy? Doesn't yr country have refrigerators ?

[@Froby2378]

@ it has to travel quite a distance to get here, most of our produce comes from Mexico…so it’s already weeks old when it arrives. It’s also 120 degrees Fahrenheit in summer so the trucks probably struggle to keep it cool enough in transport. I keep all my horse grain in the house during summer or it goes rancid in one day. Still better than negative temperatures and covered in snow for my kind of lifestyle. I am very lucky to live here.

Watching this from tropical country. Really appreciate the way of living in Yakutsk. Can't imagine living in below freezing temperature as your daily routine, where lives are at stake every day, even with spiked price of daily needs. In my country price of tomatoes just around US$ 0.8 / kg for the example. Price of eggs just cost around US$ 2 / kg, yet we're struggling to save expenses because of low per capita income. But your video is inspiring for us in here. We should work harder and less complaints. Keep up!!

[@maslina4567]

Your videos are always fascinating! So interesting to learn about different cultures, traditions, foods, climate, etc. I'm from Canada with temperatures down to -45C...can't fathom -71. Some summers days can be as hot as 35C. Now I live in Croatia where the climate is far more agreeable (my health issues can't cope with cold). Thank you so much! You were born for this. ❤

[@denissorn]

Often, it is not the cold weather itself that affects people's health (not that it can't), but rather sudden weather changes. My hypothesis is that it has to do with changes in pressure and/or humidity. I say this because people with autoimmune conditions often experience an episode before the weather has actually (significantly) changed, but when it has started to change. This is observable in factors like wind or atmospheric pressure.

[@maslina4567]

@denissorn I absolutely agree...I suffer from five autoimmune conditions and weather changes is one of the greatest contributors.

Hello Kiun B, I feel insightful after watching your video. I am from Bengkulu, one of coastal small city in Sumatera, Indonesia. In Bengkulu, people rely on chicken and seafood because it's affordable. Chicken around 2$ and seafood 1,3$. The reason why seafood is cheap because local fishers sell the seafood directly to buyers in local fish market. Grow fruits and veggies is easy that contributing to cheap fruits and veggies. Beef is quite expensive in Bengkulu, people only eat beef in a special event like new year, eid fitri, eid adha and another events. Keep warm and happy! I really like watch your video about Yakutia culture.

I am from the Canadian prairie (prairie is a type of steppe biome). It's the same climate as Central Siberia. We also have taiga and muskeg. My family has a Slavic/Siberian mix, by blood. In winter, my grandfather would go ice fishing. Grandmother would do several things with said fish. Varenyky with potato and cheese is common here. Grandfather would also hunt small animals. As far as I know, I'm the only one who likes stroganina. Qurut as well. Pelmeni are another thing I indulge in. Flour is for pancakes, bread, pastries, and thickening. Borshch, shchi, and chicken noodles soup are common. Any other common ingredients - such as beef, chicken, and pork - can be found at the butcher. Being in Canada, typical Western foods are most available. I prefer traditional food more, however.

[@fssrk1]

I live in Alaska and interesting to see how different the food is even when we both live cold climates. You definitely living in a colding part of your country than I am. The coldest city I have spent time in was Fairbanks where it would get to -75F during winter. We would throw out boiling water and it would evaporate before hitting the ground. The tires on my would be squarish until I drove far enough for the tires to heat up from friction and round out more. Fun times.

I'm from rural Tennessee (I live in Nashville now) and it's cool to see how people adapt to so different an environment! Growing up here, our main problem with food was that it went bad quickly in the heat and the damp, so we canned a lot of things at home or smoked them (we didn't have a smoker until I was like, an adult and we didn't need one 😅).

[@Unindoctrinated101-i4k]

In Russia, in Siberia, and far east, the houses/apartments are heated to about +25C, and it's normal to be in a t-shirt inside, while it's -20C or lower outside.

[@OutragedPufferfish]

Why?

[@TheHammer70]

It's a bikini I'd be surprised to see her in 😂

[@Unindoctrinated101-i4k]

@@OutragedPufferfish There are several reasons for this. First, there has historically been, and still is, an abundance of gas, coal and wood for fuel. Living in extremely cold climates, it is essential to maintain a comfortable indoor environment. Temperatures of +18°C or even +20°C can feel quite cold indoors when it's -40°C outside for several months. Heating is a strategically important service in cold climates (similar to the human right to housing), so it is centralized rather than individual. It is financed and maintained by the government, with some costs covered through fees paid by housing owners. Because heating is centralized, it is provided at the same level of comfort for everyone. Saving on heating, for example like it's done Canada, is uncommon in Russia.
