Interestingly enough, I hate that aspect 😭 I feel like it doesn’t allow an accurate representation of the dish bc if you’ve never even had the dish, you won’t even know how it’s supposed to taste ya know? Lol
@@Brifearless5 it’s def not an accurate representation! But I think it gives perspective of the steps it takes to make it, and hopefully gives them more appreciation for the meal. I hope they both go out and try the authentic versions of the meals they made
I do too. Though I will say we need to get back to that tight bond we used' to have- more like back in the 90s though. It's been a bit broken in recent times. We are the closest' on the "barometer" so it should be like glue.
Black and brown people are the only people of color.. anyone not white is a person of color.. so you’re saying ignore us? When our skin tone makes us up? Ignoring skin color doesn’t fix racism. Ignoring skin color is ignoring us? Ignoring skin color is ignoring and turning a blind eye to the discrimination and injustice we as people of color face. What you would like is for us to hide right? To oppress our own selves? Tie our own hands behind our backs, revert back to when hating the color of our own skin was in? Look how long it has taken for some people to finally be able to love their skin color after being mistreated and psychologically abused for it. And you want to just dismiss it all? We will not belittle and diminish our selves for racists to feel more comfortable. We will not let our skin colors be thrown away for our history to become white washed. We are here. We will be seen and we will not be contained. No justice, no peace. How about we fix racism? How about we fix discrimination and gentrification? How about we end oppression? Racial profiling and racial targeting?
Props to these ladies, not only for cooking food from another culture but for trying it. Some people be too scared or even rude when it comes to trying new food...you don't have to like it but be respectful ..you'll never know what you like unless you try 😋
A very respectful' post. They both did their best and everything looked great! Food and music are the only two simple things in life that can cancel out oppression.
A trick with the corn tortilla heat them in a little bit of oil, but don't fry it. If you are making a large batch of something you'll need someone to roll while you deal with the tortillas. You can also find the fresh corn tortillas made every day if you have a tortilleria near you and they tend to be much easier to work with.
Awe, I wanted to see fufu with oxtail stew (yum) … also I was like, noooooooo warm up the tortillas before you stuff and roll. She was just missing crumbled cotija (or queso fresco) for the taquitos and the sopes. Fun video ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
8:18 actually there she said perfectly well, it was when she wanted to correct when she pronounced it wrong😂 It seems to me that sherlly is not Mexican born in Mexico but Mexican American, I say it because the way it pronounces several words and because the breakfast burrito is not very common in Mexico, it is more in the United States, So we can say that it is actually a cultural exchange to the Chicano culture but it is also interesting too
To easily roll the corn tortillas for tacos dorados put them in a plastic bag (i use the ones from the stores for produce) and heat them in the microwave for like 30 seconds!
*Sheryl:* _"I promise not to overwhelm you, Elise...I want you to experience all of the flavors without too much stress."_ *Élise:* _"Sheryl, you got this."_
I love the cultural differences in preparing the unfamiliar food! 🥰 I recently tried to make tres leches cake. It was kinda a disaster, but a delicious one 😂 Both y’all’s food looks much better. When you dropped the meat pie tho 🤣 & Taquitos are so much work & a lot harder than they look! A friend who lived in Mexico gave me a pro tip: The shiny side of the tortilla should be down to roll, the other way is much harder… to be honest I’ve never made them again after that! I think that was 1999 🤣🤣
In Ghana, we call the Egusi or Melon seeds “Akatwa”. Normally in spinach stew, we add egg instead of the melon seeds but if you are a vegetarian or vegan, the melon seeds act as the egg.
May I ask what tribe you are? Because I've never heard it called "akwata" and I am also Ghanaian. Also using egg is a preference. I think agushi is even more widely used than eggs. The eggs also shorten the lifespan of your kontomire stew
@@nanaaraj "Egusi stew" IS NOT Kontomire. You social media children are so annoying. Egusi stew is like 70 percent egusi. not everyone adds leaves to it, whereas Kontomire is 80 percent Kontomire, and depending on the person cooking, IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT, they'll add akatwa/agushi if they want.
Omg malta I tried to get my kids to like it it’s a staple of my childhood I remember my parents in a phone call from elementary school because it that I was bringing in mini beers 😂😂😂🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
For me, the order of the toppings on tacos does matter. I love my cheese to stick, so add it on top of my cream or sour cream. After salsa and lettuce..yum.
This was so fun to watch. I gotta say though...that does not look like kontomire stew. Also the meat pie...what happened? Again, fun to watch though...
Mexico is a big place with many states. My mom says she's traveled all over Mexico and had their huevos rancheros and each area made it different. My mom is convinced that tamales need to have goat meat and my father convinced that tamale should have cow Head meat and they both say it's traditional and the proper way to make them. My mom also has 3 other ways to make tamales that isn't steamed and will make sweet tamales for an sweet treat. My dad also grew up eating fish every day for breakfast and a tall glass of coffee made with scolded milk instant coffee chocolate and cinnamon frothed.
I love that they cooked the food themselves. Hella hard, they did amazing
Interestingly enough, I hate that aspect 😭 I feel like it doesn’t allow an accurate representation of the dish bc if you’ve never even had the dish, you won’t even know how it’s supposed to taste ya know? Lol
@Bella - I agree! How they cooked their food was immaculate.✨💙
@@Brifearless5 it’s def not an accurate representation! But I think it gives perspective of the steps it takes to make it, and hopefully gives them more appreciation for the meal. I hope they both go out and try the authentic versions of the meals they made
@@iamyogiBella true! That’s an interesting perspective
It was so fun making Ghanian food! It was delicious! 🤤😊 I’m so proud of Elise for cooking Mexican food 👏🏽👏🏽 She did great!
You did great too! The meat pie takes a few tries.
@Janine Aww thank you!
Que ojotes tienes
Hi Sheryl i saw this video today 1-12-22 i subscribed to ur channel😊
@@shaquithas you are so sweet! Thank you 😊 ! Welcome to my little TH-cam familia 🤍
I love seeing black & brown representations & even more amazing together 🖤 🤎
I do as well- I’m obsessed with it.
If I could give your comment 100 likes I would!

We need to ignore skin color. It immutable and divisive. Let’s just enjoy the culture and cuisine.

I love how they appreciated each other's dishes and cultures. Kudos to both of these young ladies.
Sheryl's dog is the star. That little tongue hanging out during the plantains. 😍
I love the culture cuisine exchange
It’s so entertaining to see others appreciating each other’s cultural backgrounds. One blood, one love 💜
I loved both of their reactions to the food and lost it when Sheryl's doggo came into the frame. And then barked at the end.
🤍🤍🤍
That dog wanted some. He was like “what’s smelling so good, give me some”
@@QueenOfKings0402 He sure did! 😂 He knows good food when he smells it.
We need more food videos, especially the competition ones.
The way Elise said "Hot Chocolate", and her Jujutsu Kaisen shirt just made her my new favorite person 🤣🤣
Same😂
The Sopes you have to deep fry the little tortilla bowl before eating it :)
A very respectful' post. They both did their best and everything looked great! Food and music are the only two simple things in life that can cancel out oppression.
The way she said HOT CHOCOLATE lol It took me out! ! Idk why but it did, I laughed so hard lol
Seriously!! I knew it wasn’t just me
Great job cooking ladies. I love this idea of swapping cultural dishes and actually preparing them themselves. Everything looked delicious 🤤
Can we have the recipes posted? They look so good.

Love the fact u two loved each other's foods 🙌💪 everything looked so good both sides salute to u two
Elise is a damn trip!! I love her personality.
Love this collaboration! Food is the great equalizer and appreciation of each other's cusine and culture is what we need more of!! Way to go guys :)
I see black and brown folks exchanging love and I click on it! Love it! 🤎🖤
Both these ladies spirits were so fun and engaging to watch! 🥰
Im Dominican grew up drinking malta by Goya and whenever I tell people to taste it they say it taste like molasses 💀idc the shit smacks lmao
Lol I think it's def an acquired taste. Used to hate it when I was younger but I love it now.
I like the D&G brand i used to love Malta’s as a child, then i hated it as a preteen but i tried this brand and i like it again 💚
I’m Haitian, we drink it with evaporated canned milk. It gives it a thicker consistency. I love it cold. And it’s filling.
Hahaha her reaction! It was like when we made California style burritos for my old southern aunt “well that’s different” was her reaction 🤣🤣☠️
Omg same🇩🇴 it’s good!
Chorizo egg potatoes and cheese is 🔥🔥🔥 add some tapatio ooowee🤤🤤
The way she drop that Abobo lmao that food must be salty a hell😂
Hahaha 🤣 I had to commit but the dish was not salty at all, thank God 😂
Nah that’s flavor!
Yumm all these meals seem easy to make and soo fresh.
Fellow mexican here. I'm dying to try Ghanaian food. Don't be shy, drop the recipes!
Love seeing Sheryl she’s so sweet 🥰

Lmaoooooooooooooo Elise’s reaction to the dinner meal took me out 😂😂😂
"A very like, texture". 😆
This was fun to watch, and both of their food looked delicious!
I love this! I’ve always loved Mexican food as a Ghanaian 🇬🇭❤️❤️❤️❤️

I really wholeheartedly appreciate and enjoyed this video

Or put them in a plastic bag after heating them on the comal
Beautiful friendship beautiful young ladies! So happy for this video.

Ghana girl here 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭👍👍👍
I love seeing friendships like these.
Yoo I’m about to start expanding my horizon cuz ALL that food looking good like omg💚❤️
The spinach stew looks 🔥
This was so dope, y'all should do more videos like this. Thanks for sharing 😊
Watched the second episode about Ghanaian cuisine and I'm all into it right now!
Ghananian food is similar to Mexican cooking with all the blending of the sauces! So cool to see these recipes are do-able in an American kitchen
I love this duo
🤍🤍🤍

The kontomire was tragic 😂but props to her for trying
Hahaaaaaaaaa! Sheryl's dog was low key begging on camera! That;s when you know the Kontonmire must have been good!!!
Looked really good, I would love to try all of their recipes.
Loved this video! I want every dish!!!
Jamaicans from the city drink hot chocolate (Milo tea) for breakfast with anything 😂😂
Nigerians drink Milo for breakfast too
Guyanese too
So we just out here living the same lives? 😂😂
like Australian milo??
@@Sum.Mer444 Yes
She didn’t like corn tortillas bc she was eating them raw 😂
The mexican food looked really good actually! She did a good job

It’s Egusi stew or Palava Sauce. Akwata is a Twi word for Egusi. It’s either way said.
It's actually akatua pronounced "aka to wa"
@@nanaaraj "Egusi stew" IS NOT Kontomire. You social media children are so annoying. Egusi stew is like 70 percent egusi. not everyone adds leaves to it, whereas Kontomire is 80 percent Kontomire, and depending on the person cooking, IF THEY FEEL LIKE IT, they'll add akatwa/agushi if they want.
Egusi stew is totally different from kontomire stew
Ladies please drop the recipes! I want to try these so badly
That koko looks raw. 😀
For real
“But they weren’t fried in any oil 🤭. They were fried in coconut OIL 😜”
That dog is waaaaaaaay too comfortable leaning over her plate. You just know they’ve eaten from it. 👀🤨
or he thinks the food smells hella good
@@grace9729 it’s not whether the food smells good or not. It’s the proximity of the dog to the plate for me. 👀
I don't know Goya drink. Supermalt is what we have here in UK
I want Mexican food now
love this video concept !!
Great video! Would love a part two, maybe desserts? 😊
I would love part two, as well! I need this kind of wholesomeness right now.
12:24 is the best reaction onggg 🌝
Omg malta I tried to get my kids to like it it’s a staple of my childhood I remember my parents in a phone call from elementary school because it that I was bringing in mini beers 😂😂😂🤷🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
Yooo shorty wild out on the adobo 😩
Wow amazing ladies! I love this video. We need more like this.
Kontomire is also called Palava Sauce and palm oil is usually used.
I need a Ghanaian friend rn ‼️
I need that spinach stew and cucumber water
i love Élises’s commentary😂😂
I so love Elise reactions....
I liked the look of the Mexican breakfast, the Ghanian lunch and both dinners.
So cute 🥰 it’s MALTA, Goya is the brand 👍🏾
I want to be friends with Elise!😍😂
We All the same...! Africk. Carib ..or south America
Besides European...
Good food is good food love it!
Bless up 🙌
For me, the order of the toppings on tacos does matter. I love my cheese to stick, so add it on top of my cream or sour cream. After salsa and lettuce..yum.
Sheryl just be eating the rice😂
I absolutely love Mexican food ahhhhh
I need the recipe from this stew, it looks amazing 🤤
Cool video. 😄
What was the noise after the corn tortillas lol I LOVE HER WHAT IS HER IG lol
Isn't coconut oil an oil?
6:33 Malta Goya, add some milk to it. Whole canned, evaporated milk. It will give it a thicker consistency and make it taste better.
oooh im gonna try this
dear jesus- i need to try these.
I see you Elise either the jujutsu Kaisen shirt!!
*scoops stew with rice* “mmm this is so good” *slide stew over* “somethin about seeds it’s so good” *only scoops rice *
This was so fun to watch. I gotta say though...that does not look like kontomire stew. Also the meat pie...what happened? Again, fun to watch though...
The dog on the table lol
i loved her reaction to the agua
there is meat in that stew but when does she add that in? theres some parts missing throughout
The way she disrespected the corn tortillas 🤭🤣
Loved this💙
That is NOT hausa coco 😩truth is the only place you can find coco is im ghana where it’s freshly made
I was about to say, put the tortillas in the microwave for a few secs to get them soft and rollable
Did she...SALT AND PEPPER HER PLANTAIN?!
Ever heard of kelewele
@@periodt5264 kelewele is mostly spicy
It’s a thing of preference
People salt their plantain
Has anyone every not liked the dish picked for them because it seems like everyone on this show likes everything
"When my husband tries it" damn
Wait the burrito looks great ..BUT a burrito is not authentic that’s more Tex-Mex (Mexican American if you will). But overall looks great 👍
Mexico is a big place with many states. My mom says she's traveled all over Mexico and had their huevos rancheros and each area made it different.

Aww she didn't fry the sope 😢 it's okay but if you fry it it tastes soooo much better
The way I'll drink Malta is with some evaporated milk and a little bit of sugar
With sugar??
@@Nellyty5 yes and in the summer a whole bunch of ice.
@4:46…who tastes food from the palm of their hand?! 🤣
