I suffer from moderate food aversion, I don't really like eating different textures and flavors in one dish so I never finish my meal. I have tried various medicines to increase appetite and stuff but that only gave me ton of side-effects. I started watching your videos 2-3 months back while eating my food and somehow I am able to finish my meal whenever I watch these videos of yours appreciating new dishes and celebrating food in general. I have also gained 3 kgs in last 2 months. It has proven to be the best therapy for me. Thank you Beryl.
That's amazing. Keep up the good work! I know I'm a random internet person but I'm proud of you! I'm a try anything and everything gal, and I understand it can be overwhelming and scary , but for me, the down side of putting something I your mouth that you dont like vs the feeling of discovering something/ flavour combo you never knew you loved is 100% worth it.
Everything I've cooked in this unit has come out great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB ! Everything tastes so good. Some of the recipes I've changed a little to improve the taste. For instance, for french fries which call for no oil, I spray them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. They come out great! It makes the best toast I have ever eaten. The recipe I use calls for lightly buttering both sides of the bread. It calls for cooking at 400 degrees for 5 minutes on one side and then 2 minutes on the other side. This time has a lot to do with the kind of bread you are using...so keep an eye on it. Also, the fans in this Ninja are a lot stronger than other air fryers. So lay a metal spoon or something on the bread to keep it from flying around. It's a little extra work to use your Ninja as a toaster but it is worth it!
It's not TMI, Beryl. A lot of people have really toxic relationships with food, thanks to media and social pressures. I think it's great to hear from people who have been in that negative place and got past it to something more positive. You're a great example, and your channel shows people the good things that food can do for us.
I will admit, I have kinda abandoned breakfast traditions almost entirely. In my head, any food can be eaten at any time, if you are willing to cook them. Porridge for dinner? Yep! Microwave lasagne in the morning? Easy meal! Also when one has a chaotic sleep pattern like I do, one breaks their fast at any time of day.
I like to have dishes seperated into different times of days, but what I eat has little to do with what would be traditional for my country. Soups, nargesi (eggs poched in greens with citrus juice), more traditional porridge or scramped eggs, cantonese ginger fried rice, milk rice, congee, green smoothies, rice with barberries. Millet barberry omelette, a not very sweet cake... From the outside there is literaly no isdication whatever I consider something a breakfast food or not 😅 And then there are chicken wings that are my no matter what time dish....
Growing up in the 1980’s and being left alone during the summer while my parents were at work, Frozen Chicken Patties, Frozen Hashbrown Patties, and bottled Sweet and Sour Sauce was my go to breakfast. 😂 As an adult, I’m terrible about eating breakfast, due to my crazy work schedule (fast breakfast options all seem to be overly sweet).
The audio for all of the recipes were very difficult for me to hear the presenters' comments. I'm not sure what happened but it was good to hear your follow up, Beryl.
Not TMI, I completely appreciate you sharing how you are healing from past struggles with food/diet culture. I think more people can benefit from those stories
WAIT YOU AND MIDDLEEATS ARE FRIENDS?? I never knew that two people who are strangers to me but end up knowing each other in real life would make me so happy.
@@toBe8ere Your comment really interested me (I love words!) and I had to do a wee Google search. I thought the Germans probably had a word for it, as it's basically the opposite of "schadenfreude", which is a German word we've adopted into English.. And right enough, they do! The word is "freudenfreude". 🙂
I’m at home having a sick day (while also taking care of a sick baby). When I stumbled on this scrolling through my TH-cam feed, I involuntarily said out loud, to an empty room, “Ugh! Beryl, I love you!” In case you’re wondering what kind of effect you have on people.
*So* glad to see Switzerland represented with Birchermüesli. We also have it ready-made here at grocery stores in the yogurt aisle, which is really good and convenient.
@Short Glass Of Water I am Swiss/ Australian and I assume Evieteresa's comment is of Birchermusli in the yogurt section of the supermarket in Switzerland. I say this because I have never seen it in a supermarket in Melbourne and wonder where you are shopping.
As someone who is allergic to eggs, I love seeing how other countries make breakfast! Thank you... this channel has definitely added to the family repetoire
One of my favourite breakfasts I call a Hot Mess Skillet. Saute all the veggies you like that are often found in omelets and use some canned chickepeas as the protein (maybe 1/3 of a can). It's really delicious, cheap and keeps me full for hours. You can spice up the chickpeas to match the veggies you are using or just use salt & pepper and it's really good.
I think one of the artists in the community needs to make a very pretty Scoville chart that Beryl can hang in her kitchen as both decor and useful info. No matter how much her spice tolerance is improving ;)
Me: DYING as Beryl fries her mouth away with whole scotch bonnet pepper. That dish looks INCREDIBLE though. The backdrop Romina had set up was so simplistic but SO BEAUTIFUL.
Love the video as always! I'd recommend making the music a bit lower since for non-native speakers is quite difficult to understand people talking when the music is almost at the same level.
Your channel is a place of comfort, a safe haven to come to on good and bad days, wind down and look at pretty, new things and wake that explorative appetite! I love these videos, thank you so much for making them and thanks to all the viewers sharing great recipes! Please feel my genuine appreciation and affection and be aware that hundreds of thousands of people feel the same way and send you that energy! Tap into it whenever you feel down, because you deserve love!
fyi the (indistinct) bit in the Boxty subtitles is "I hope you don't forget the (lashings) of butter, because it's so important", lashings here being informal slang for lots, so lots and lots of extra butter spread on top :) I normally make tattie scones but this video has inspired me to try making boxty too!
Some one said lashings of butter in the comment section of last week’s video and I thought it was just a jokey comment...didn’t know it’s actually used by many! I’m going to start to say it too lol 😂
@@kalliste01 Yeah, we must use it in Aus as well, because I found it really easy to hear. It's so interesting how english is different and the same across countries
The great thing with Birchermuesli is that you can make a bowl of it and it sits in the fridge waiting for you to be hungry; breakfast yes, snack why not? dinner, occasionally, after fitness refuel, definitely. It is seasonal, very healthy, economical and delicious. I love birchermuesli. The grated apples are a must have and if you’ve made it too thick you can add some more fruit, or yogurt or milk or even a splash of fruit juice to thin it out a little.
I never thought I liked Mexican food very much, until I decided to try making it at home. Turned out what I didn't like was cheap American chain restaurants - now chilaquiles are my go-to breakfast food when I have the time to cook. Homemade salsa, homemade tortilla chips. Super simple and absolutely delicious!
I think a lot of people fall prey to this when they eat at restaurants that are serving foreign food in the US, unless you're well informed from friends who know what the food from a specific place is supposed to be like, 8/10 times you're probably not going to get something authentic.
I'm irish-american, and it made me smile so big and run to show my mom that the first recipe presented is boxty! I grew up eating boxty in the car on the way to school, and I can't wait to make them for my niece when she can have solid food.
I just can't get enough of therapeutic channel! Thank you Beryl for the passion and hard work you put in the content, thank you for my midnight travel around the world amazing journey and I was caught off of guard when u took me home tonight 😀 welcome to Egypt ❤
I have grown up as a Swiss/ Australian and my family has made Birchermusli my whole life. I have always thought (apart from oats and yogurt) it needs nuts, grated apple, lemon rind and beaten cream to be a real Birchermusli. As an adult I omit the cream, add fruit I have on hand and I also grate in a carrot. I know carrot sounds weird but it gives it another texture (and yes I'm mother that likes to hide veggies in food). My 3 year old can not yet say Bircher so it will now and for ever be called 'Busli musli' in our house.
The bots recommended your channel a few days ago. Already tried Indian Chilli Cheese toast, gosh it's amazing. Now I'm addicted to your vids. I've subscribed, rang the bell for every video and just know my calorie intake is going to seriously increase. So much for my New Year resolutions.
Those little cats on the table!!!! What are they, they're so precious! Thank you for a continuance on this topic. I love brekfast foods, I always look forward to your videos :3
Can you share your fitness journey with us beryl? I lost a lot of weight recently and want to know how to keep it off while still eating well and avoiding pitfalls
You might like to make a pastry meat dish called RoEt. It’s filo pastry with fried lamb meat sandwiches between lots of filo sheets, then chicken or duck or rabbit broth is poured all over the pie, then baked until crispy. It’s so juicy and moist but crunchy and crispy inside all at the same time!
Beryl, the way your videos make me feel so emotional about food is astonishing! You are amazingly skilled and talented, thank you so much for this channel!
So I’m Mexican so the huevos divorciados look soooooo 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Actually all the breakfast foods look so good! It’s my favorite meal of the day cuz I wake up hungry! I just signed up for a vegetable/fruit delivery service and got some apples and bananas this week. I’m going to make overnight oats and mashed them in with the yogurt instead of just topping it ❤
As a person who has suffered from severe food insecurity and also strange issues due to health, I want to thank you for your openness, your channel, and helping me learn how to stretch meals and keep an eye out for new simple staples.
Hi, Nigerian here. Wow, you nailed the puff puff. I have a hard time making them right. For the Pap, we usually have it with sugar, or milk and sugar to balance the sourness.
"Pap" in South Africa basically refers to porridge of some sort (usually maize meal based) and if I'm not mistaken, that's pretty much the case elsewhere on Africa too. The texture can vary a lot depending on your ratio of maize meal to water, and it's often eaten with some kind of cultured/fermented milk or buttermilk.
Yeay I was checking if someone is going to comment. Yes pap can be runny or stiff or crumbs, and its not using fermented flour, just plain maize meal, and you can eat it with tomato and onion relish (with your braai meat) or we as kids loved it with butter, sugar and milk…delicious!! So interesting how the dishes differ between countries! Again Beryl enables us to learn from each other ❤ Edit: oh my dad loves it with maas, the fermented milk almost like buttermilk.
Indeed, this particular pap, if we were to try to relate it to South African ingredients, almost sounds like a thick mageu (pretty much fermented mielie meal).
We also use a super similar word 'pappei' in my dialect of German as well for referring to a food of soft consistency, usually for small children. But honestly I have no clue how to prepare it.
It's the Dutch word for porridge. I'm quite amazed it's gotten so far around. South Africa used to be a Dutch colony before the English took it over and still has a large population decended from it. Other African countries and the Caribean must have gotten it because of the slave trade. Germany is a neighbouring country with a lot of similarities, especially along the border regions.
Beryl, your culinary chops are getting real!!! There were some very non-trivial dishes in this one! Love the inspiration I got from this video - thanks!
Hahaha add in my younger sibling who is definitely lactose intolerant but refuses to try lactaid in case it works and then they have to acknowledge that they are lactose intolerant hahaha "I'm not lactose intolerant, I just have dairy make tummy hurt-itis" lol
@@Rose-jz6sx I am weirdly lactose intolerant - cheese, heavy cream whipped, half & half in coffee, ice cream, yogurt : I'm FINE. try to drink a glass of milk or put it on cereal : it's the apocalypse. Makes no sense!!
@@creepyspookyicky No it makes complete sense because cheese there is very little lactose since the bacteria breaks it down in the process, same for yogurt. Heavy cream and H&H in your coffee it's not enough to cause you an issue other maybe the faintest amount of gas.. But when you drink large amounts yeah it will cause lots of gas, bloating and resulting pain.
Beryl! I just found your channel and you are so inspiring! Recently, before I found your channel, I started a series on my channel cooking foods from around the world for the first time. I will have to say it has been the most fun and educational! That series and my research led me to your channel and I am so happy to be here! You rock girlfriend!
I am so mad I didn't get to see this yesterday, but happy I can watch it today! I love seeing how other people live in this way, food really can bring the world together in it's own tasty way.
Hi Beryl, I love your content so much-you’ve become one of my favorites here on TH-cam! ❤ And such a coincidence that I watched this video today, as I’m currently living in Oaxaca City, Mexico & just this morning saw Huevos Divorciados on the menu when I was out to breakfast; never heard of it or seen it on a menu here before & thought, “Divorced eggs? Am I understanding that right & why would it be called such a thing?” Thanks for answering that question for me! 😆 Not only am I going back to the restaurant to try it, I’m also gonna make it at home (plus the Irish, Egyptian & Swiss recipes)! Hugs from Oaxaca, Mexico ((❤))
Please tone down the music. It covers what the people explain and some speak so softly, they are difficult to understand. Other than that, I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing all those international dishes for us to try. 👍
Beryl, don't be afraid of fat in dairy! People with higher fatty-acid levels associated with a higher consumption of whole-fat dairy products had a lower risk of death from all causes, as well as a lower risk of heart disease! Plus, the fat in the meal slows the spike in blood sugar that occurs after we eat a meal, thereby staving off diabetes. Not to mention, fat tastes good, so there's that, too! 🙂 I just love watching the evolution of your cooking and your attitude toward cooking. It's just so cool to see the delight on your face after taking the first bite of a dish, and hearing you say, "I made this!" Things like homemade salsa or homemade fritters make such a difference in the pleasure of a meal, and I'm thrilled, as I said, to see the evolution of your cooking and your attitude toward preparing new foods yourself. Loved this video and loved that you mentioned the TH-cam channel Middle Eats, another fave channel of mine. :-) Can't wait for your next upload, Beryl!
Can you talk about this a little more? We grew up with 1% milk. Several years ago Due to skin issues (eczema) I thought maybe it would help me if I drank whole milk. I felt like I gained a bunch a weight but not 100% sure if it was due to the milk or just life (I was in college). Over the past few years I buy either 1% or 2%. But I have lost significant weight over the last year and have reintroduced whole milk again over the last month in an effort again to co trilby eczema. Any benefits of whole milk for skin health. I know essential fatty acids are huge for skin so maybe I’m making the right decision? I also usually eat full fat plain yougurt or sour cream at least once every 2 week’s if not more often
It's always the highlight of my day when you release a new video, you've helped me regain my joy for food and make it stronger! And I love how you've created such a wonderful and vibrant community
Beryl I'm having difficulty understanding you over your music. I'm visually impaired so CC is difficult for me to follow. Can you Please turn the music down just a little next time so your voice is easier to follow. I REALLY Dig your channel!!
Dare I say Beryl.. If you will accept this as a compliment.. You have become a amazing cook, truly!! Dont doubt yourself too much.Loved seeing these dishes yum.
That was very entertaining. The look on your face after tasting the Cameroonian one was priceless! I did once eat something so hot it made my ears burn! It was on a visit to Delhi and my uncle had taken me to the main railway station to put his car on the train to Bangalore. We had Idli and a very hot sambal and it was explosive! That was 50 years ago. I still like spicy food, but my digestion is not up to it anymore. However you did remind me that I hadn't had anything from Maggi for a long time. I found that one of my local supermarket's (I live in SW London) stocked various items. I now have Maggi Instant Nooddles in various flavours, Maggi Seasoning both Original and Hot, and Maggi Masala Chilli Sauce which is HOT! I have only been to Ireland once, to Dublin to operate the instant replays for a boxing match. I stayed overnight and had pretty much the same breakfast you had. And in the '80s as a freelance editor I did several jobs in Switzerland and had different versions of the Birchermüesli for breakfast. My current go to breakfast is a version of Birchermüesli using Oatibix, either banana, red berries or raisins, low-fat Greek style yoghurt, and semi-skimmed milk. Oatibix is flakes like Special K, but made from wholegrain oats. It's from the same people who make Wheetabix. Diabetes 2 and hypertension mean I need to be careful of my diet, but I still try to eat interesting meals. Keep up the good work, and Happy New Year.
Background music is way too loud to hear the voices during the cooking segments. I had to turn on close captions. It is cute music but really competed with the story being told.
The puff puff and beans combo is so suprisingly good. im Nigerian so we dont usually eat them together but my Cameroonian friends introduced me to the combo and i havent looked back. i dont like pap at all lol. But it was cool seeing you try it.
And you continue to inspire and surprise me with amazing videos! Birchermüsli was something I had a lot as a child as we were very, very often in Switzerland visiting friends. And I can still taste it remembering so many years later! 😊
The Cameroonian dish is so interesting! Here in Panama, where we have a strong influence from various different African (as well as Caribbean) cultures, we use Scotch bonnet peppers a lot (in fact, I always say that is one of the flavors that I most associate with Panama, the other being culantro). And we call them "ají chombo" (chombo is a sort of an affectionate---but can be controversial, too, depending on the tone and context, of course---way to refer to Black people; I know, it's a touchy subject and I apologize in advance :( it's just the name of the chili pepper). So when Akom said that the dish is also known as "achombo," my ears perked up! As an etymology nerd, I now have to look it up. I'll keep you posted :) 🌶🌶
@Beryl (not that you'll see this) - it sounds like the mix in this is a little off. The music is much louder than it usually is in your other videos (which are super well mixed!!!). Love the video though.
Achombo (puff puff and beans) is one of my all time favourites and not just for breakfast! Loved to see this! Will definitely try these other meals as well. And Hey sis, @Akom ☺️
So nice to see a fellow Clare person on the show! And boxty is a nice Irish tradition to share. Hello if you're looking at the comments :) P.s. beryl visit the west of Ireland, we have so many dishes to share here :)
The Cameroonian dish is pretty similar to another Nigerian dish. The puff puff is replaced with akara which is a savory fried bean ball. Eaten together with pap. I always add lots of milk and sugar to my pap because I don't like the sour taste 😅😅
I love the breakfast videos because it gives me ideas! I enjoy more savory dishes for breakfast and seeing so many different types makes me so happy. Breakfast is a meal to jumpstart the day and give you energy!
Beryl you amaze me! I see you sourcing obscure ingredients and cooking and enjoying all these amazing dishes each week! But then you surprise me because you have never made fried rice or intimidated by salsa...I barely cook but when I do friend rice is my go-to (and I’m thinking isn’t the salsa just blended pico de Gallo?!). I’d love to see your beginners cooking guide! See you next week! Also a request of your fitness journey too! I follow you on fb and was amazed at your figure (I hope that’s not too creepy). I just recently lost 20-25 pounds over the last year and want to keep it off but also eat well :)
Beryl, when you drop the puff batter by hand, you did it upside down, they do it from the thumb side, you did it from the pinky side. You'll have more control doing it from the thumb side. We in Asia do similar method when making meatball..
I really enjoy how versatille a breakfast can be! I just ate the most swedish breakfast: warm oatmeal-porridge with lingonberryjam and milk, or oatmilk since I'm vegan. My whole family loves your show Beryl! You're doing a great job!
The background music is a little too loud to hear the Irish woman tell us about boxty.
I know I couldn't hear everything she was saying.
Way too loud
Yup. Music too loud to hear her.
and the Egyptian segment.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that

@Sarah I'm pretty sure bircher muesli is different to just muesli

Your salsas have a good color and texture! And a real Mexican always prefer a green salsa 💚
As someone who is allergic to eggs, I love seeing how other countries make breakfast! Thank you... this channel has definitely added to the family repetoire
That’s such a tough allergy to have! I hope you find some new favorites!
If you can have Avocados their a yummy substitute especially on toast ❤

You could try vegan substitutes for eggs. I'm no longer vegan myself, but vegan "egg yolk" is forever in my cookbook.

I just can't get enough of therapeutic channel! Thank you Beryl for the passion and hard work you put in the content, thank you for my midnight travel around the world amazing journey and I was caught off of guard when u took me home tonight 😀 welcome to Egypt ❤
I always find something to inspire from the many cuisines covered
I have grown up as a Swiss/ Australian and my family has made Birchermusli my whole life. I have always thought (apart from oats and yogurt) it needs nuts, grated apple, lemon rind and beaten cream to be a real Birchermusli. As an adult I omit the cream, add fruit I have on hand and I also grate in a carrot. I know carrot sounds weird but it gives it another texture (and yes I'm mother that likes to hide veggies in food). My 3 year old can not yet say Bircher so it will now and for ever be called 'Busli musli' in our house.
The bots recommended your channel a few days ago. Already tried Indian Chilli Cheese toast, gosh it's amazing. Now I'm addicted to your vids. I've subscribed, rang the bell for every video and just know my calorie intake is going to seriously increase. So much for my New Year resolutions.
Those little cats on the table!!!! What are they, they're so precious! Thank you for a continuance on this topic. I love brekfast foods, I always look forward to your videos :3
So glad you gave @Middle Eats a call out! They're one of my favorite channels!
Fresh puff puff is what I love getting from the street sellers when I'm in Nigrea🤗🤗
I love these videos but the background music is too loud! I can barely hear what the first person is saying about boxty
I totally get what you’re saying about healing from your past and fitness blogger recipes!
It’s a slow process to unlearn that stuff but I think things like this show have helped me so much
Can you share your fitness journey with us beryl? I lost a lot of weight recently and want to know how to keep it off while still eating well and avoiding pitfalls
I'm glad she gave that link to Middle Eats, because ever since the preserved lemon video I have been on the hunt for more Egyptian food to try. 🇪🇬
You might like to make a pastry meat dish called RoEt. It’s filo pastry with fried lamb meat sandwiches between lots of filo sheets, then chicken or duck or rabbit broth is poured all over the pie, then baked until crispy. It’s so juicy and moist but crunchy and crispy inside all at the same time!
@Amber L I tried hawashi and that was delicious. What you are describing also sounds so good! I can't wait to try it.
Beryl, the way your videos make me feel so emotional about food is astonishing! You are amazingly skilled and talented, thank you so much for this channel!
So I’m Mexican so the huevos divorciados look soooooo 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Actually all the breakfast foods look so good! It’s my favorite meal of the day cuz I wake up hungry! I just signed up for a vegetable/fruit delivery service and got some apples and bananas this week. I’m going to make overnight oats and mashed them in with the yogurt instead of just topping it ❤
🇨🇭 Birchermüesli🇨🇭 waht a joy to see somtimes a swiss dish on your channel Beryl. Love that.
All her recipes are illustration worthy ❤️
As a person who has suffered from severe food insecurity and also strange issues due to health, I want to thank you for your openness, your channel, and helping me learn how to stretch meals and keep an eye out for new simple staples.
Hi, Nigerian here. Wow, you nailed the puff puff. I have a hard time making them right. For the Pap, we usually have it with sugar, or milk and sugar to balance the sourness.
"Pap" in South Africa basically refers to porridge of some sort (usually maize meal based) and if I'm not mistaken, that's pretty much the case elsewhere on Africa too. The texture can vary a lot depending on your ratio of maize meal to water, and it's often eaten with some kind of cultured/fermented milk or buttermilk.
Yeay I was checking if someone is going to comment. Yes pap can be runny or stiff or crumbs, and its not using fermented flour, just plain maize meal, and you can eat it with tomato and onion relish (with your braai meat) or we as kids loved it with butter, sugar and milk…delicious!! So interesting how the dishes differ between countries! Again Beryl enables us to learn from each other ❤
Edit: oh my dad loves it with maas, the fermented milk almost like buttermilk.
we even use that word in the caribbean for soft foods :)
Indeed, this particular pap, if we were to try to relate it to South African ingredients, almost sounds like a thick mageu (pretty much fermented mielie meal).
We also use a super similar word 'pappei' in my dialect of German as well for referring to a food of soft consistency, usually for small children. But honestly I have no clue how to prepare it.
It's the Dutch word for porridge. I'm quite amazed it's gotten so far around. South Africa used to be a Dutch colony before the English took it over and still has a large population decended from it. Other African countries and the Caribean must have gotten it because of the slave trade. Germany is a neighbouring country with a lot of similarities, especially along the border regions.
Beryl, your culinary chops are getting real!!! There were some very non-trivial dishes in this one! Love the inspiration I got from this video - thanks!
I made the muesli tonight after watching your video. Excited to try it tomorrow!
SISTERS: STOP EATING THE DELICIOUS THING THAT GIVES YOU HEARTBURN!!
US: NO!!
**BERYL: Eats pickles**
**ME: Eats garlic dip**
BOTH: gets heartburn.
CRIES
eats more of deadly delicious treat.
Rinse. Repeat.
FOREVER.
NO REGRETS!
Kefir and other fermented things like kimchi help if you feel it coming on, I keep some in the fridge for this.
@@larosePNW AAAAAHHHH YR RIGHT!! And I have a bottle of kefir in my fridge!! I need to remember this! Thank you! 💚
Hahaha add in my younger sibling who is definitely lactose intolerant but refuses to try lactaid in case it works and then they have to acknowledge that they are lactose intolerant hahaha "I'm not lactose intolerant, I just have dairy make tummy hurt-itis" lol
@@Rose-jz6sx I am weirdly lactose intolerant - cheese, heavy cream whipped, half & half in coffee, ice cream, yogurt : I'm FINE. try to drink a glass of milk or put it on cereal : it's the apocalypse. Makes no sense!!
@@creepyspookyicky No it makes complete sense because cheese there is very little lactose since the bacteria breaks it down in the process, same for yogurt. Heavy cream and H&H in your coffee it's not enough to cause you an issue other maybe the faintest amount of gas.. But when you drink large amounts yeah it will cause lots of gas, bloating and resulting pain.
I thought they looked like the Middle Eats falafels! Yummm!! Fantastic recipe and channel 💜
Beryl! I just found your channel and you are so inspiring! Recently, before I found your channel, I started a series on my channel cooking foods from around the world for the first time. I will have to say it has been the most fun and educational! That series and my research led me to your channel and I am so happy to be here! You rock girlfriend!
Just want to say you are extremely talented. Your content is very entertaining and educating. Thank you for all your hard work.
I love this series. Thank you for being my comfort youtube channel 🥰
Bircher muesli is delish! My recipe uses apple, pear, orange supremes and candied ginger, which I love!
I am so mad I didn't get to see this yesterday, but happy I can watch it today! I love seeing how other people live in this way, food really can bring the world together in it's own tasty way.
Hi Beryl, I love your content so much-you’ve become one of my favorites here on TH-cam! ❤ And such a coincidence that I watched this video today, as I’m currently living in Oaxaca City, Mexico & just this morning saw Huevos Divorciados on the menu when I was out to breakfast; never heard of it or seen it on a menu here before & thought, “Divorced eggs? Am I understanding that right & why would it be called such a thing?” Thanks for answering that question for me! 😆 Not only am I going back to the restaurant to try it, I’m also gonna make it at home (plus the Irish, Egyptian & Swiss recipes)! Hugs from Oaxaca, Mexico ((❤))
My 2 year old LOVES watching your videos Beryl!!! Everything you make, she says, “mmm nummy (yummy)” lol!
Please tone down the music. It covers what the people explain and some speak so softly, they are difficult to understand. Other than that, I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing all those international dishes for us to try. 👍
Great job @Akom 👏🏾👏🏾, Cameroon 🇨🇲 is finally represented.
I loved this episode very much Beryl, because you are so thoughtful of including minimal meat dishes.
Thanks for being so considerate 🙏🏻
I like the recap at the end. Great addition!
So great to see Ireland represented! 😃
Beryl, don't be afraid of fat in dairy! People with higher fatty-acid levels associated with a higher consumption of whole-fat dairy products had a lower risk of death from all causes, as well as a lower risk of heart disease! Plus, the fat in the meal slows the spike in blood sugar that occurs after we eat a meal, thereby staving off diabetes. Not to mention, fat tastes good, so there's that, too! 🙂
I just love watching the evolution of your cooking and your attitude toward cooking. It's just so cool to see the delight on your face after taking the first bite of a dish, and hearing you say, "I made this!" Things like homemade salsa or homemade fritters make such a difference in the pleasure of a meal, and I'm thrilled, as I said, to see the evolution of your cooking and your attitude toward preparing new foods yourself.
Loved this video and loved that you mentioned the TH-cam channel Middle Eats, another fave channel of mine. :-) Can't wait for your next upload, Beryl!
Can you talk about this a little more? We grew up with 1% milk. Several years ago Due to skin issues (eczema) I thought maybe it would help me if I drank whole milk. I felt like I gained a bunch a weight but not 100% sure if it was due to the milk or just life (I was in college). Over the past few years I buy either 1% or 2%. But I have lost significant weight over the last year and have reintroduced whole milk again over the last month in an effort again to co trilby eczema. Any benefits of whole milk for skin health. I know essential fatty acids are huge for skin so maybe I’m making the right decision? I also usually eat full fat plain yougurt or sour cream at least once every 2 week’s if not more often
More breakfasts videos please! I struggle sometimes 😂
Probably my favorite TH-cam channel of all thanks for bringing us these videos ❤❤❤❤
It's always the highlight of my day when you release a new video, you've helped me regain my joy for food and make it stronger! And I love how you've created such a wonderful and vibrant community
For the Mexican dish I saw your cute figures surrounding the "huevos divorciados" I have similar ones :) great job Beryl! On the salsas
Definitely one of your best episodes ever! I feel like trying all the dishes that you made!
Yay! Thank you!
The divorced eggs look incredible!!
Beryl, you always make me feel happy even on a bad day!
The video would have been more enjoyable with the music much lower. Fun breakfasts!
Noted!
As soon as I saw ful ta'ameya 'on the menu' I thought that Obi's channel would be the place to start. I wasn't disappointed.
Beryl I'm having difficulty understanding you over your music. I'm visually impaired so CC is difficult for me to follow. Can you Please turn the music down just a little next time so your voice is easier to follow. I REALLY Dig your channel!!
Middle Eats channel is wonderful! So happy to see that shoutout
Dare I say Beryl.. If you will accept this as a compliment.. You have become a amazing cook, truly!! Dont doubt yourself too much.Loved seeing these dishes yum.
omg ❤ that Pap, Puff Puff & Beans from Cameroon 😍 love it, Akom ❤ thank you so much for sharing!!
That was very entertaining. The look on your face after tasting the Cameroonian one was priceless! I did once eat something so hot it made my ears burn! It was on a visit to Delhi and my uncle had taken me to the main railway station to put his car on the train to Bangalore. We had Idli and a very hot sambal and it was explosive! That was 50 years ago. I still like spicy food, but my digestion is not up to it anymore. However you did remind me that I hadn't had anything from Maggi for a long time. I found that one of my local supermarket's (I live in SW London) stocked various items. I now have Maggi Instant Nooddles in various flavours, Maggi Seasoning both Original and Hot, and Maggi Masala Chilli Sauce which is HOT!
I have only been to Ireland once, to Dublin to operate the instant replays for a boxing match. I stayed overnight and had pretty much the same breakfast you had. And in the '80s as a freelance editor I did several jobs in Switzerland and had different versions of the Birchermüesli for breakfast.
My current go to breakfast is a version of Birchermüesli using Oatibix, either banana, red berries or raisins, low-fat Greek style yoghurt, and semi-skimmed milk. Oatibix is flakes like Special K, but made from wholegrain oats. It's from the same people who make Wheetabix. Diabetes 2 and hypertension mean I need to be careful of my diet, but I still try to eat interesting meals.
Keep up the good work, and Happy New Year.
Background music is way too loud to hear the voices during the cooking segments. I had to turn on close captions. It is cute music but really competed with the story being told.
The puff puff and beans combo is so suprisingly good. im Nigerian so we dont usually eat them together but my Cameroonian friends introduced me to the combo and i havent looked back.
i dont like pap at all lol. But it was cool seeing you try it.
Obi and his wife are such sweethearts. I discovered him just by pure luck of algorithm. His channel is a treasure!
Thank you for including Birchermüesli. I know this dish since my childhood. We ate it together with bread and butter and drank hot chocolate.
And you continue to inspire and surprise me with amazing videos! Birchermüsli was something I had a lot as a child as we were very, very often in Switzerland visiting friends. And I can still taste it remembering so many years later! 😊
Birchermüesli is my daily favorite... As I watch your videos I can tell my mom have a very Scandinavian influence to her cooking =)
Scandinavian? Switzerland is not in Scandinavia.
Music was too loud and I had difficulties hearing what people were saying. I didn’t make it too far into this video before I quit.
those sunny side up eggs are perfection, Beryl! incredible!
Beryl you are so much fun. Information can be dull without a personality that is cheerful and inspires. Shalom Mishpoha.
I love your videos so much! Thanks for making such quality and interesting content ❤
The Cameroonian dish is so interesting! Here in Panama, where we have a strong influence from various different African (as well as Caribbean) cultures, we use Scotch bonnet peppers a lot (in fact, I always say that is one of the flavors that I most associate with Panama, the other being culantro). And we call them "ají chombo" (chombo is a sort of an affectionate---but can be controversial, too, depending on the tone and context, of course---way to refer to Black people; I know, it's a touchy subject and I apologize in advance :( it's just the name of the chili pepper). So when Akom said that the dish is also known as "achombo," my ears perked up! As an etymology nerd, I now have to look it up. I'll keep you posted :) 🌶🌶
In Nigeria, there's a pepper variety called Shombo
@Beryl (not that you'll see this) - it sounds like the mix in this is a little off. The music is much louder than it usually is in your other videos (which are super well mixed!!!). Love the video though.
Yup I see this it was a mistake the levels in the edit were fine but I see the pile on of comments I’ll be more careful next video 🥰
I'm always looking for new savory breakfast ideas to shake up my mornings! Thanks Beryl!
The Birchermüesli looks amazing!
The Boxty made me have a very happy memory. My Aunt used to make these just like this! I used to put apple sauce and bacon with mine. Yum!
Even though it originates in Switzerland, Birchermüsli is also eaten in parts of Germany, Austria and Italy. Had this often when I grew up
I am from Germany and love it but embarrassingly never knew it originated in switzerland.
Achombo (puff puff and beans) is one of my all time favourites and not just for breakfast! Loved to see this! Will definitely try these other meals as well. And Hey sis, @Akom ☺️
So nice to see a fellow Clare person on the show! And boxty is a nice Irish tradition to share. Hello if you're looking at the comments :)
P.s. beryl visit the west of Ireland, we have so many dishes to share here :)
The Cameroonian dish is pretty similar to another Nigerian dish. The puff puff is replaced with akara which is a savory fried bean ball. Eaten together with pap. I always add lots of milk and sugar to my pap because I don't like the sour taste 😅😅
I love the breakfast videos because it gives me ideas! I enjoy more savory dishes for breakfast and seeing so many different types makes me so happy. Breakfast is a meal to jumpstart the day and give you energy!
Beryl you amaze me! I see you sourcing obscure ingredients and cooking and enjoying all these amazing dishes each week! But then you surprise me because you have never made fried rice or intimidated by salsa...I barely cook but when I do friend rice is my go-to (and I’m thinking isn’t the salsa just blended pico de Gallo?!). I’d love to see your beginners cooking guide! See you next week!
Also a request of your fitness journey too! I follow you on fb and was amazed at your figure (I hope that’s not too creepy). I just recently lost 20-25 pounds over the last year and want to keep it off but also eat well :)
Birchermüsli is popular in Germany too.
You can buy it premixed with dry fruits and oats to store or in a cup with yoghurt to mix on the go.
Some interesting dishes, the pap, puff puff and beans looks quite interesting.
Beryl, when you drop the puff batter by hand, you did it upside down, they do it from the thumb side, you did it from the pinky side.
You'll have more control doing it from the thumb side.
We in Asia do similar method when making meatball..
great big story phone thingumajig... nostalgic!!
I really enjoy how versatille a breakfast can be! I just ate the most swedish breakfast: warm oatmeal-porridge with lingonberryjam and milk, or oatmilk since I'm vegan. My whole family loves your show Beryl! You're doing a great job!
