As someone from the (bland) midwest, when I had paella, shawarma & butter chicken they changed my life. Thanks for sharing recipes that we never heard of, couldn't imagine were a thing and cuisine that will also rock our little taste bud worlds.
As another person from the “bland” Midwest, and having mostly Scandinavian relatives, I didn’t get exposed to many things growing up. There are still many things I don’t like, but have tried them. I now live in New Mexico, and have learned quite a few spicy dishes made with chiles. 🌶️🌶️🌶️ I haven’t yet developed the heat tolerance of the natives here, but I’m getting better.
I'm an American living in Sri Lanka. I've made the Bhutanese Ema Datshi several times. We don't have Jalapenos here, but there is an equivalent. This is one helluva delicious dish. I've made it for parties and everyone loves it, especially my Sri Lankan friends.
YES, BHUTAN!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I grew up in Chicago; practiced law in Seattle; and recently retired to Utah. I have never met anyone from Bhutan. I had never eaten any Bhutanese food…until this video! I have now made this dish at least six times and I’m planning on making it tomorrow. It is the best recipe that I’ve ever gotten from your show. It is the only recipe I’ve made multiple times I believe.
This isn't about anything specifically in this video, but I wanna thank you for introducing me to so many international recipes! I recently started playing Foodguessr (like Geoguessr but you have to identify a food's country of origin) and I know that a lot of my success in it is because of you and your videos!
I was BLOWN AWAY when I tried Ema Datshi in Northeastern India (Darjeeling). It was incredibly spicy but my goodness it was good. I had it with steamed buns instead of rice and it was an absolute winner. It was a revelation to me
When Beryl says "Ema Datshi is like Jalapeno Popper soup!" that's completely true. It is delicious and TIL Jalapeno Popper Soup is the national dish of Bhutan. 😂
10:04 you always do everybody proud, Beryl 💚 I don't eat meat, but I can't wait to modify and try all of these 😊 thanks for another wonderful video 💚 Edit: I also love how all of these dishes are very "vegetable forward" 🌱
After watching the rice video last week, I booked a Laotian restaurant near me (didn't know there was one before) and tried the nam khao, and I agree, one of the best things I've eaten this year.
I actually saved this to file, while making ma own list of favourite foods I just found. Plans for christmas are almost done. New year: unsure. That's why I'm making this list. Happy holidays from the far north of Germany!
I made zupa kuperkowa for the first time tonight for dinner (or a variation of it, I did add in cream cheese and some shredded cheddar) and OMG!!! SO heavenly, oh my goodness. Best potato soup ever!!!
Thanks Beryl for colouring, spice and flavour my life with your video! ❤❤❤💖 may 2025 more joy and prosperity. Road to 1M for Beryl!! 🤲🏻 Much love from 🇲🇾 Malaysia
Surely I'm not the only one who wishes they were Beryl's neighbor lol... you make this all look so friggin tasty and I've been on a mission to try new foods.
OMG, I have to try all of these! I remember seeing them in the individual posts and thinking they were good and now they’re all together. I can find them quickly.😆😋😋😋
I really appreciate your use of the safety glove on screen! Whenever people use a grater with their bare hands, it makes me so nervous they are gonna cut themselves that I have to skip that part of the videospeaking from someone who has been cut by one
So excited to try some of these. BTW - for those of us with the cilantro soap gene (ugh), would love to see you test and rank a few substitutes so I know if there's something more interesting I can try than just leaving it out.
As a coastal Georgia / low country native, here's the GENERAL rules on shrimp tails around here, though they differ by person.... Hard and fast rule is we USUALLY don't, because our native shrimp tails can be SHARP here as they have thick telsons, as anyone who's spent a few hours cleaning live shrimp as a kid can tell you... So shrimp tails is a big "depends" on how it's cooked and who's cookin it.. USUALLY.... Deep fried is fine unless the person shouldn't be trusted with shrimp in the first place. Boiled is OK for smaller shrimp but if they're big one's by the times those tails calm down that shrimp is overcooked. Steamed is the same. Sautéed is a hard no. Grilled is again a depends, which largely depends on the skill of the cook and how they put them on the grill... if they can get the tails on the hot zone while the rest is more of a medium, than you're golden on eatin those. Most folks I know just keep the cooked tails (provided it's not a BIG event, like a boil) in a freezer bag along with the rest of the shells and heads to freeze for stock.
I'm Irish and Welsh, but I think I must have come from Bhutan in a past life, because I made that same cheese/pepper combo in college, and poured it over rice, quite often. It's a cheep, tasty, sober-up meal; come to Jesus, though, I used American Cheese, or Velveeta, for their wonderful melty qualities. Also, I was a poor student at an Alabama State College. Love yah, Gem of the Hills.
You had me at jalapeño popper soup. I'll eat a fried shrimp tail. Not sure about one that hasn't been blistered within an inch of its life. Dill on sushi is incredible.
The reason it’s like a jalapeño popper is because the ingredients are very much the same as many Mexican dishes : jalapenos, tomatoes, garlic/onion, and cheese
Regarding shrimp (aka prawn tails), I generally always eat them as the textural contrast is amazing especially if the shrimp have been marinated and grilled. Ditto for tempura. Then again, I also controversially perhaps likewise eat the shrimp heads which have amazing depth of flavour (think smoky bittersweetness). Obviously, I do draw the line at the "poop chute" removing that as a matter of course due to its sullying of the natural prawn sweetness and slight but yummy saltiness which decreases proportional to shrimp/prawn size...I.e. bigger = sweeter 🤩🦐🙏
I’ve been obsessed with chaat variations since I had a Samosa Chaat at a favorite Indian restaurant in Providence. If you could recommend things I should order from Kalustyan’s to put in a chaat I’d appreciate it!
For "North Indian" chaats, I feel its all about the perfect balance between the green chutney (spicy and herby), tamarind chutney (perfect combination of sweet and tangy) and fresh creamy yoghurt (sweet with a hint of tang)! Combine with something crunchy (raw onions, fritters, peanuts, papdi), something fresh (coriander leaves, cucumber) and optionally something that gives body (chickpeas, samosa, potato patties). Sprinkle with a good chat masala or just plain black salt, and maybe some lime. But its all about that balance, which takes a lot of experimenting to get right
Hey Idk if I don't have jalapenos But got a pepper in locality exact in appearance but not really spicy Will add green chilis to mitigate that Would It work?
I am very plain American. My husband is Vietnamese. He taught me that shrimp tails (even the fins, also the heads) are edible and have great flavor and texture. We went to a seafood place with my father (who thinks he is very proper) and he saw me eating the shrimp tails and was totally disgusted by it, almost to the point of anger that I was embarrassing him.
Back in the 50s-60s, before baby spinach, spinach was ALWAYS assumed to be dirty and sandy. It was joked about in the media. It was a meme before there were memes.
I love your channel so much! But it's a bummer to open the video to a Harry Potter thing, not gonna lie. JKR has turned out to be viciously transphobic and just kind of awful, so it is a little kick in the teeth compared to the normal energy here. 🥺
As someone from the (bland) midwest, when I had paella, shawarma & butter chicken they changed my life. Thanks for sharing recipes that we never heard of, couldn't imagine were a thing and cuisine that will also rock our little taste bud worlds.
Congratulations you have unlocked a new level of taste! 🎉
I'm surprised to hear an American try shawarma considering the alternative of it, the burrito is wild availabile across the US.
@@Zrs3820 Shawarma should be wild available across the US too, so more people can try it!

Those Equadorian corquettes are the literal definiton of scrumptious.
I always know Beryl will LOVE the dish when she starts by saying "WOAH!" 😄
I made ema datshi when you first showed it. Wow, amazingly delicious. I had it for lunch all week with rice.
Great visual joke, Beryl! In the first episode, you are reading Jane Austen's "Emma" to accompany the recipe of Ema Datshi! Good one! 😂😂😂
When Beryl says "Ema Datshi is like Jalapeno Popper soup!" that's completely true. It is delicious and TIL Jalapeno Popper Soup is the national dish of Bhutan. 😂
Beryl I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing dishes from around the world. Really opens my mind how much there is to eat in the world.
As an Ecuadorian thank you for appreciating our dish!!
Drooling, I want to try each and every dish
10:04 you always do everybody proud, Beryl 💚
I don't eat meat, but I can't wait to modify and try all of these 😊 thanks for another wonderful video 💚

Amazing video! As a Pole, I'm really happy that you appreciate our dill soup.
Hey Beryl! Sent a box to your listed mail address. USPS said it’s going to be returned this weekend unless you pick it up. Merry Christmas!
I actually saved this to file, while making ma own list of favourite foods I just found. Plans for christmas are almost done. New year: unsure. That's why I'm making this list.
Happy holidays from the far north of Germany!

Much love from 🇲🇾 Malaysia
I just picked up all the stuff for the crispy rice salad but couldn't find the lime leaves --- so I'll use zest and juice. Can NOT wait!!!!
Surely I'm not the only one who wishes they were Beryl's neighbor lol... you make this all look so friggin tasty and I've been on a mission to try new foods.
Chaat is just out of this world ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video to end off the year!! Can’t wait for next year!!
OMG, I have to try all of these! I remember seeing them in the individual posts and thinking they were good and now they’re all together. I can find them quickly.😆😋😋😋
haha, as soon as you said "double dog dare" my cat woke up from snoring and meowed loudly. Looking out for the double dogs - gotta be.
I really appreciate your use of the safety glove on screen! Whenever people use a grater with their bare hands, it makes me so nervous they are gonna cut themselves that I have to skip that part of the videospeaking from someone who has been cut by one
Poland!!🎉❤
Another great episode, Beryl! Love you and love all your content! ❤️
So excited to try some of these. BTW - for those of us with the cilantro soap gene (ugh), would love to see you test and rank a few substitutes so I know if there's something more interesting I can try than just leaving it out.
Such an awesome episode! I just love your channel and your quirky nature. Please have a happy holiday and take good care ❤
I love that dill soup! I put some dill pickles in it too 😉
I will have to make your favorites. I don't eat the shrimp tail. I use it as a handle. I love how you are so eloquent when you describe each dish.
Beryl never change... you are a riot :)
I had the dill soup at a pirogi restaurant once (they called it "pickle soup") & for something so simple, it was honestly the best soup I've ever had.
that's a different, yet similar soup - there were probably pickles involved ;)

8:15 I remove them, I hate that odd crunch!
I was like, what??? People eat shrimp tails? What?!
Ema datshi is good, but I prefer shamu datshi with mushrooms~
I'm Irish and Welsh, but I think I must have come from Bhutan in a past life, because I made that same cheese/pepper combo in college, and poured it over rice, quite often. It's a cheep, tasty, sober-up meal; come to Jesus, though, I used American Cheese, or Velveeta, for their wonderful melty qualities. Also, I was a poor student at an Alabama State College. Love yah, Gem of the Hills.
Chaat is unbeatable delicious, IMO
I hate spinach but i would try this dish look yummy
Spinach hates me, I’m still into trying that dish!
You should do a series about how different cultures use canned ingredients.
NO to shrimp tails! 🦐🦐🦐 I'd love to try the spinach chaat though!
Nam Khao is so good! There's a food cart near me that makes it and it's honestly addictive
I love Nam Khao!! Reminds me of Persian tahdig!! But way better, and I say that as an Iranian lol

Definitely, I eat the shrimp tails!
Especially for those big,Japanese tempura shrimp!
This almost exact soup is also made in Mexico, so similar wow
Ya ampun Mbak Beryl... kamu food content creator favorit. Please, kok bisa ada aja idenya coba makanan seluruh dunia? Hahaha...
I knew the last dish.The rice salad was gon to be in this!! Must have been hard to narrow down though
I haven't had zupa koperkowa in years!!! I definitely have to make one :)
The spinach dish was my favourite

Hey
Idk if I don't have jalapenos
But got a pepper in locality exact in appearance but not really spicy
Will add green chilis to mitigate that
Would It work?
The Polish dill soup looks just like Finnish salmon soup without the salmon. 😁👍 Love dill, it's my favorite herb as well! 😍👌
Love salmon soup, been eating a lot this dec!
I had that soup on a visit to Finland last year! (I’m American). Some of the best salmon I’ve ever had!!
I am very plain American. My husband is Vietnamese. He taught me that shrimp tails (even the fins, also the heads) are edible and have great flavor and texture. We went to a seafood place with my father (who thinks he is very proper) and he saw me eating the shrimp tails and was totally disgusted by it, almost to the point of anger that I was embarrassing him.
We eat deep fried shrimp heads, tails, bodies here in Japan too.
Really chrispy!
Yum!
I love nam khao but it’s not easy to find a restaurant that makes it.
when my mom complains ab the dust in my apartment i will say it derived from the dill i was chopping it's fancy
For the LAO dish,can you fry the rice like a big hashbrown?
Texture thing for me absolutely no crunchy shells on my shrimp. It’s why I will not be eating bugs.
Beryl, everyone:
_Spanish ham, Jamón ibérico, prosciutto crudo,_ etc are also raw, dry cured pork….
Use the shrimp tails to make stock.
If its a fried shrimp, I'll eat the shell.
Back in the 50s-60s, before baby spinach, spinach was ALWAYS assumed to be dirty and sandy. It was joked about in the media. It was a meme before there were memes.
Ema dashi deserved that spot. I absolutely love it.
I had an idea "Liver & Onions" plus recipes from around the world?
I never could eat that!
How did that blue bowl bcome a red bowl in the first dish?
The red bowl had just rice in it while the blue one had the soup
💛💛💛
Did you put pork skin in the last recipe?
NO SHRIMP TAILS!!!!!
❤❤❤
“When I lived in Russia…” 😮🎉😁 What is this exciting life we (or maybe just I) know nothing about??
She has talked about her Russian days before. But not in detail.
Hello I love your channel I would love ❤️ to see in your channel soups around world 🌎 thanks 😊
I had you pegged for a fellow Hufflepuff... Slytherin would have been my last/2nd to last guess
The dish from Ecuador looks like mini stuffed baked potatoes
I love Pommegranat jewels. But I hate the seeds. I will never be eating them, ruining my teeth.
My partner’s daughter will take my discarded prawn tails off my plate and eat them - I don’t, I don’t like the texture so I just eat the meat =)
When did you and why did you live in Russia????
Indomie..
I love your channel so much! But it's a bummer to open the video to a Harry Potter thing, not gonna lie. JKR has turned out to be viciously transphobic and just kind of awful, so it is a little kick in the teeth compared to the normal energy here. 🥺
Too much background music for me, sorrie 😊❤
sad... no 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 dishes
NO FILIPINO FOOD? BOOO!!!!
It's her list of favourites this year...BOOO
Yes and yesto the first the chilli forward dish …. The dill soup is just NO, the rest meh
Uh, thanks for your opinion.
Please learn the proper way to dice onions.
This is the second time and second video I've seen you comment this on. Grow up. Stop criticizing her. No one asked.
What is the correct way to dice onions??
I really want to know.
I’ve always wondered about the correct size of onion dice…
