    I asked you all in a poll what you wanted to see next and the winner was clearly the humble potato.
    I found 5 potato dishes using different kinds of potatoes that challenged me to rethinking the gentle tuber.

      Ahhhhhh! I have memories of absolutely BEGGING my mom to make Ube Halaya for my birthday and special occasions. She would give me a little bowl with a spoon and let me go to town on it. Or, we'd slice a pandesal (Filipino bread roll), and put a dollop of it in there with/without a scoop of icecream. Such a good snack with tea! Then in the winter time, she'd send me out to fetch fresh snow from the top of our car to make Halo-halo. Even now as an adult, I still try to mix the ube until my Halo-halo is an even lavender color while I eat it.
      Also, a few years ago, when I first went to meet my paternal side in the Philippines, it also happened to be my birthday, so I requested an ube cake in remembrance of my mom!

    To your question about how you would eat the Turkish Kumpir in the Street: it is eaten exactly like you did ahahahaha. It is giving with plastic spoon and something around the patoto. (normally the potato is a special one which is huge, but it is totally understandable that you don't have that version. It doesn't matter much anyway. ) But the bigness of the potato helps you to hold it with a wrap. It is also served with ketchup and mayo. Cheers from Turkey!

I was growing at a time were Spanish was being replaced with English and that's how we children were being talked to, aside from the filipino vernacular. Although my parents would talk in Spanish, we children were then too lazy to really learn it, as everybody outside talk in the local dialect.. and Chinese was non existent. Whenever my Angkong came for vacations he only talk chinese to other chinese people.

    Beryl! Girl, love your authenticity and the fact that you're an amazingly versatile cook. The pounded potato dish from China is taken to a different level in the Sherpa cuisine (of Nepal). They make a potato dumpling soup called "Rildok". Try it out if you ever get the chance; you'll love it. The potatoes are pounded for hours to get the stretchy texture and then, the mash is divided into small balls and boiled. These are your dumplings. It is served in a mild garlic-y, tomato-ey broth. The potato dumplings just melt in your mouth and warm you up, which is the point of it, considering the Sherpas are the people of the Himalayas.

    That is a purple sweet potato, not ube.
    Ube has a dark brown matte skin. Very close to the brown color of soil. The inside of the ube yam is what gives it that purple color.
    I mean, their inside color is similar but taste and texture will be different. Other ube manufacturers do cheat their ube using that purple sweet potato.

      @japhetmanalansan5932 3 роки тому +9

      Yup! I noticed this too. Purple sweet potato has that starchy texture when cooked as halaya, maybe that's why she described it as "potato-ey". Ube becomes almost creamy when cooked and without a gritty texture. Imagine her reaction if she tastes the real ube. But still kudos to her for having the patience and strength to stir that halaya constantly. I myself don't have the patience for it.

    If you make the Turkish kumpir for yourself again, I recommend you to fluff and blend the butter and cheese into the potato with a fork before you add the veggies, like street vendors do. As toppings go, corn and peas are also great. Instead of kielbasa (which I think you went for?) you could use chorizo to add some spicy goodness! It's the closest sausage I know to the Turkish dried sausage we call "sucuk".
