I used to love foreign travel, learning about other people and different ways. Now I am old and disabled and can barely get out of my home. I am really happy to see what you are doing. I wish I could be there but watching your videos is the next best thing. Thank you.
Antonio Pigafetta, the chronicler of Ferdinand Magellan's expedition (1520s), mentions nutmeg in his accounts. In his writings, Pigafetta describes encountering nutmeg and mace in the Spice Islands (the Moluccas), a key objective of the Magellan expedition. Btw, there are lots of Pili nuts (which is entirely different from a nutmeg) in the Bicol area of the Philippines.
I'm new to the channel, watched the Nutmeg documentary yesterday, and now this one. Such amazing well researched information. Nothing beats experience! I have a feeling there's a video on cashews in the archive! As a kid reading encyclopedias for fun I saw a picture of cashews on a tree and the realization of what cashews actually are blew my mind!
Oh, I’m Indonesian (though about 1,550 miles or 2,500 km away from the Maluku Islands), but I didn’t know _kopi rarobang_ is a recent invention. 😅 Hats off to June and her husband for coming up with it, then! When I was in Ternate (North Maluku), I tried _ake guraka_ which is a drink made from ginger and other spices, topped with kenari nuts. Now I’m wondering… that might not be as traditional either? 😂 In Indonesia, we often confuse kenari with almonds and walnuts when translating it to English. We even use kenari as a substitute in baking and in sweets that usually call for those nuts. You can even pair it with meat! That kenari cheesecake looks delicious, but I hope you’ve also tried some of our traditional kenari cookies and candies. Cheers!
From now on, indonesians need to use your own name. Like im tired to see some weird indonesians prefer to use JAVA instead of JAWA. Or LUWAK instead of "civet". Civet is different kind. Or Luwak is a special civet. Edit : im indonesian myself.
The lady in the video is showing not just how recent traditions can be, but that they can & do change with time. Also, I bet marystestkitchen (best known for Will it Tofu?) would love to see this video heeding how much of this plant is usable
Your channel is one of my go-tos when i am feeling really angry about how awful people are. The research and fruit reviews are absolutely delightful, but there's an even better bonus that comes with them: the stories and chats you have with all the different people. Just ordinary folks, living their lives, beatific in their kindness and generosity, happy to share their knowledge and culture. It lets me take a big step back and go "man, actually, humans are pretty fantastic lil guys. I guess i do like them after all."
Its helpful to remember we live in an age of sensationalism and quick hits. People aren't all that bad, you're just more likely to hear about the bad stuff because good people are "boring".
@@lando8913exactly! And it’s difficult to remember that when a lot of our socialization comes from online nowadays. We’re more connected than ever, yet so isolated from one another, and online strips a lot of humanity from us. YT and other social media is designed in such a way that sells. They use our animal brains against us, preying on our fear and anger. We can’t see each other’s faces or hear each other’s voices or give each other smiles and hugs. So, for anyone feeling angry or sad about the state of things, please imagine me smiling at you and giving you a big hug…even though you don’t know what I look like. You can make me look like any way that comforts you 😊. 🫂
One of my fave "wow humans are neat" moments on the channel is I believe the calabash episode. Jared just found a random house growing the fruit and ppl were just like "come in, we'll show you how it's made!" 😊
Loving this Banda arc, put me onto reading into the history of Melanesia, which put me on the track of realizing that I actually love reading history from the lesser told sides. Thanks man!
The documentary style approach to these recent videos is incredible. Legitimately, you are making award-worthy content. Is there a chance of you looking into indigenous American food cultures?
One of the reasons California is full of invasive, flammable Eucalyptus trees (which unfortunately don't have edible fruit) is that they were planted as windbreaks for fields of other crops.
Yes it was. And 'traditions' have to start somewhere, don't they. She and her husband have added to their culture and now share it with the wider world through people like Jared. Wouldn't be surprised if it starts making an appearance in some niche cafe's in Europe and North America. I sincerely hope that they give credit to June and Sibu-Sibu Cafe'.
I anticipate kenari episode to come after the nutmeg😁. Kudos to you for this well researched episode as well. This one is special for me! Earliest intro I got of kenari was from asking a baker what's that topping on cupcake and breads so I think it's quite common to use in bakery and pastry through large part of Indonesia. Now I saw the real tree when I got into my campus. There are two rows of this gigantic tree (more than 1.5 metre in diameter from campus tree inventory) with fruits that fall every now and then hitting the pavement with loud thuds (RIP to plastic trash bin that got hit multiple times lol). Those trees are old because my campus was built in 1920 and they already look big in photos from 1930ish. I asked some old ladies that I saw come in to campus just after dawn to collect the fruit and they said it's "kacang kenari" and they would sell it.
In England, cobnuts (a variety of hazelnut) are often sold fresh for a short time in early autumn. They have a crunchy, but not dry texture, and are milder in flavour than when dried and/or roasted. My mum is a big fan of them! There are also fresh walnuts, more often found in middle eastern greengrocer's, but I find them a bit fiddly because it's best to take off the membrane around the nut which can be bitter. I'm curious if these are not sold in the US.
I haven't heard of cobnuts before, I'll have to try and find those! Is it available throughout England or in a particular area? Foragers will pick fresh black walnuts, but I've never seen them for sale.
@WeirdExplorer the county of Kent is well-known for its cobnuts. I don't know about other parts of the country, but they're available around the South East when in season. Not something you usually find in supermarkets though.
They sell hazelnuts and walnuts fresh in Turkey as well; it’s a very popular seasonal specialty. The hazelnut is a very thin-shelled variety that you can easily crack with your teeth. Are the cob nuts that way as well?
Loved this video. In Papua New Guinea, we call it "Galip" in the common lingua franca, Tok Pidgin. It is an ingredient in many traditional dishes in the numerous cultures we have here and also linked to various customs and rituals in different parts of the country. I've always taken it for granted though, as I grew up on it and never realized that it wasn't found most places.
Thanks to finding your channel through this video two days ago, I've renewed a passion for fruit! I got a Kiwano, Cherimoya, red banana, golden kiwi, yellow dragonfruit, starfruit, and mini pineapple at my grocery store in order to bring it to a new years eve party tonight for everyone to try ❤ thanks for the lovely work!
as a kid growing at Bogor West Java, i used to collect Kenari and eat them fresh. it's really good. But then again, during those time i also used to climb Pala/Nutmeg tree and eat young nutmeg fruit that taste really sour, but i love it.
Merry Christmas Jared, and Happy New Year! You have done fantastic work in 2024, and your channel has evolved tremendously. It is truly a joy to watch each video, and to share in your Journey over the years! Here's to a fantastic 2025!.
It is interesting to me how a lot of cultures seem to underutilize fruits, for one reason or another. This is a very interesting and informative video, and I also love the Cascio Auto Accompaniment style music.
Only found your channel recently. Thank you so much for all the information. Ive branched out and tried strange fruits and such i knew nothing about. All based on your videos. Thank you.
JARED!! i love your videos. I've been following for a while and i binged most of them. It's so interesting seeing how the style of the videos evolved overtime, but what stays consistent is the amount of great information in them x) hope you have an amazing end of the year and an even better 2025!!❤ Love from italy
I think we have something similar in Sri Lanka, not sure if it's related Kenari. We call it Kottamba, according to wikipedia more widely known as Indian almond. Big trees, lots of fruit, falls down when they're ripe. We don't eat the outer flesh but, it's sweet and fibrous. you can hit the fruit with a hammer, break the seed and eat the kernel. very mild sweet flavor. eaten both raw and dried.
@@totot99 Hey this is interesting, I didn’t know they use _Terminalia catappa_ in mi aceh, wow what a revelation. Do you know if it’s what they call “keuthup” in Acehnese?
I know right? Though I'm not sure if every Mie Aceh you get in Indonesia would really contain ketapang seeds. Acehnese call them keutapang kleng; kleng meaning dry. Keuthup is, as per Google, the balloon vine, or ketipes in Indonesian. I just learnt that the seeds are also used in some Acehnese curries. People often sub ketapang with peanuts in Mie Aceh as well.
In the philippines the pili or pili nuts can be found in the province of bicol.. we eat the purple fleshy part in the province, by steeping it in hot water for 5 mins we don't boil them if you boil them the flesh go hard and i edible.. the purple flesh is mixed with fish sauce or salt and paired with rice..
We used to eat a lot more fresh nuts, especially around the holidays. That’s why we had the holiday nutcrackers in our house! Ours were metal soldiers and they worked really well. They and the nut picks stood next to the festive nut bowl, which was full of raw almonds, filberts (hazelnuts), walnuts, pecans and Brazil nuts. The nuts were always relatively expensive and were sold by the pound with different prices for the different varieties. They were widely available in the produce section of the chain supermarkets in Boston and CA, the 2 places where I spent my childhood. We used to have family card games using the nuts as poker chips. The walnuts were the lowest value “chip” and usually the pecans were the highest. The Brazil nuts were the rarest (and usually the most expensive) but most people either didn’t like them too much, found them very hard to crack open, or were (probably rightfully) wary of eating too many of them. I think one is supposed to limit Brazil nuts consumption to avoid selenium toxicity. That was never a problem at our house. 🤷♀️
I've been binging your videos since I discovered your channel just before christmas, and I could swear I feel like my IQ went up a point or two thanks to your videos 😁 So interesting! ❤️
The crunch and texture you described for the raw nut reminds me of raw chestnut. They are not always cooked or roasted. My grandpa would take me to the forest as a kid and we would collect a few and peel them to eat. You have to scrape off the inner skin though as it's kinda bitter or astringent. The nut itself is really good when raw though.
Here in the philippines specifically bicol region sorsogon provice kanari nut or known locally as pili nuts is well known we also have an festival regarding the pili nut. The process to eat its pulp it you need to heat water until you see bubbles or near boiling then turn off the heat put the fruit then let it wither till the pulp is solf remove the skin and dip the pulp in soy sauce with chili and kalamansi(local citrus fruit) or fish sauce with chili and calamansi
Lindsey visited me in Hollywood Farmers Market in LA and brought be Dabai and some other Canarium fruits in the market yesterday. Plus she brought some random durians
Also curious about the Gandaria fruit that the lady mentioned in the market. Pretty sure it’s a boea species related to Maprang with the purple seed if cut in half. I saw other members of the genus the were long and more mango shaped in Myanmar but very sour and super sweet maprang or 枇杷芒果(loquat mango) in Chinese
All that fruit and so cute! I bet you get some inappropriate comments. I wish it was me that made the ones that you liked.❤❤❤😂 I'm melting like warm squashed fruit over here🫠
apparently ur eye sight is gettin better due to the healing properties of the many natural fruits u consume. yay!!!! i want to live on tuvalu which is near vanuatu, i wanted to live there first but for my courtship spouses sake n him havin internet vanuatu was a no go 🤣🤣
I did PhD research in North Maluku on Makian island, one of the islands that cloves are indigenous to. Kenari were a big deal there. I reckon they taste like a cross between almond and macadamia. Did you ever try halua kenari? It's a kind of toffee made from kenari and palm sugar: delicious. Or 'enak' as they would say in Indonesia.
13:30 Jared, i remember your old videos where you roast and make drinks out of a few seeds/nuts. friends came over to review do that video again with Kenari nut 😆
12:05 I eat fresh walnuts from my garden. They're a bit more work to eat that way, because the skin is pretty bitter, so you really have to take that off first, and with the intricate shape of walnuts that's a bit of work. But I absolutely prefer them fresh. Hazelnuts are also amazing when fresh.
The suspenseful music when the skinny bent-tailed cat was sneaking up on the cat with the treats, followed by him happily chowing down on his own pile of treats next to the other cat got a loud laugh out of me.
be on the lookout for kepel fruit while there, I grow them and are amazing perfumy that makes your breath smell like vanilla for hours, although you would battle with the locals that see it as a fruit only noble can eat so it wont ever be sold at a market, elders have never tasted it for fear of black magic punishing them if they do. They usually planted near former palaces and mosques to bring good fortune and just ignore the locals if they upset you eating the fruit and casting bad omens to the village. Its just a fruit and they gotta get over it
I am not sure if it is the case, but it is interesting to think that it is: The word Banda in Sundanese means treasure, so Banda islands, does sounds like an island full of treasure for me
The German translation of the title says Walnut Nut (Walnussnuss), which is really funny Also, the German description seems to be a template as the episode number, fruit name, etc aren't specified
Interesting, I haven't heard of that. Maybe the practice of doing that in North Africa and Kashmiri tea comes from the same source by way of trade or they came up with it individually.
this is the fruit of my childhood. after school my head was lowered looking for fallen fruit, smash it with rock and ate the white seeds. it's nutty and delicious
Was just about to comment, about giving the other cat a few lol. Good on you bro. WAIT!!! Grant reached out or his family? Sorry, prolly just wasn't paying full attention. But...I must know if Grant himself reached out.
8:25 I've seen in Sarawak, Dabai sellers scrape off some of the thin layer of the outer skin. i had presumed it was to make the soaking time even shorter. perhaps you can try to do the same with Kenari (if you ever go there again 😁)
So, do all of the other coffee shops putting the nuts in the spiced coffee attribute the idea to June at Sibu Sibu? Or is there a variety of origin stories?
Nope, they just took her idea. I think at this point many people don't know that she and her husband created it. Its often listed as a "traditional drink" online and there are many recipes. Its available on other islands throughout Indonesia and there is even a company making instant rarobang coffee! I asked June if she was upset that people have taken her idea, and she didn't really answer it but gracefully led into talking about how she is glad that rarobang coffee is helping people learn about the traditional ingredients in Maluku.
Not sure if you distrust her claims, not even sure if I trust them or not, but I did take a look at what Google can find on it - and the earliest mention was 2012. So it is indeed very likely a modern invention. I tried to find any mention of an origin story, and only found an article by CNN where the same woman made the same claim. No other contenders, but mostly simply no attribution to any inventor, it therefore seems that her story is likely true, but that hardly anyone actually knows the origin story of the drink.
Curiosity piqued. What are the orange fruits at 0:20? I know very well that they could be any number of the orange/citrus family but there are oodles of other round orange fruit that are not oranges.
@@WeirdExploreryo, was looking for the Gandaria comment? So this is a boea species related to maprang right? I’ve wanted to try this one heard it’s nice but never saw them so round
@@stevenmurray3238 I think they are the same species as maprang. The ones in Ambon were rounder and juicier than ones I've had elsewhere in SE asia so I could be wrong. Taste is the same from what I can tell.
I really hope the cafe owner gets some noticeable traffic from this video. She seems great. Also btw UA-cam auto translate of titles is dog shit. This title got translated into "Walnussnuss" in German. A non existing word meaning walnutnut - and the rest got cut. Just this single word.
I didn't even know kenari is not the same like almond, in indonesia we are taught that kenari is almond in english, just like we are taught that "bawang merah" is onion instead of shallot lol
My hometown manado is very close to ambon, i love halua kenari (kanari clumped w palm sugar), we use in Klappertaart, bobengka, dodol, as toppings in balapis... love it.❤
3:28 I know I’m childish but could someone make a remix of “people drying deez nuts in front of their houses”? Please? I would listen to it for hours:D
Just wondering if you ever tried Monkey Jack or Monkey Fruit? Please allow me to suggest you do as it got some interesting taste, a unique tropical fruit.

I wish I could afford to travel. My health will not permit it. I enjoy your content so much ❤
Aku kira burung kenari eh ternyata kacang kenari 🤣
Aku tidak sabar melihat buah buahan pedalaman Indonesia lainnya 👍
I've been binging your videos since I discovered your channel just before christmas, and I could swear I feel like my IQ went up a point or two thanks to your videos 😁 So interesting! ❤️
Welcome aboard!
Thank you, I'm here to stay 😊 My mom is another new viewer but only by proxy since she doesn't understand English so I'm translating for her 😅
Just in case you're busy before then: Happy New Year, Jared! Hope you have a wonderful 2025 starting off strong 🥰🎉🎉
UA-cam decided to translate video titles to my native language again... So I am watching a video named (translated) 'walnutnut' right now...
walnutnuts are pretty good 😅
The crunch and texture you described for the raw nut reminds me of raw chestnut. They are not always cooked or roasted. My grandpa would take me to the forest as a kid and we would collect a few and peel them to eat. You have to scrape off the inner skin though as it's kinda bitter or astringent. The nut itself is really good when raw though.
Here in the philippines specifically bicol region sorsogon provice kanari nut or known locally as pili nuts is well known we also have an festival regarding the pili nut. The process to eat its pulp it you need to heat water until you see bubbles or near boiling then turn off the heat put the fruit then let it wither till the pulp is solf remove the skin and dip the pulp in soy sauce with chili and kalamansi(local citrus fruit) or fish sauce with chili and calamansi
Btw he said in the video, Kenari nut is not pili nut, but similar. I wonder if Kenari nut can also be eaten like that
Me when a new video is out: EAT! EAT! EAT!
Oh my heart melted, such wholesome content as always♥
Lindsey visited me in Hollywood Farmers Market in LA and brought be Dabai and some other Canarium fruits in the market yesterday. Plus she brought some random durians
Also curious about the Gandaria fruit that the lady mentioned in the market. Pretty sure it’s a boea species related to Maprang with the purple seed if cut in half. I saw other members of the genus the were long and more mango shaped in Myanmar but very sour and super sweet maprang or 枇杷芒果(loquat mango) in Chinese
im waiting for this dude to live until 120, all dem fruits gotto be mad healthy
All that fruit and so cute! I bet you get some inappropriate comments. I wish it was me that made the ones that you liked.❤❤❤😂 I'm melting like warm squashed fruit over here🫠
Those veggies with sauce are making me hungry. 🤤
Actually, the pulp of the pili fruit is very good when picked at the right stage.
The more it ripens the more it hardens.
Good information.Is new to me.
apparently ur eye sight is gettin better due to the healing properties of the many natural fruits u consume. yay!!!! i want to live on tuvalu which is near vanuatu, i wanted to live there first but for my courtship spouses sake n him havin internet vanuatu was a no go 🤣🤣
I did PhD research in North Maluku on Makian island, one of the islands that cloves are indigenous to. Kenari were a big deal there. I reckon they taste like a cross between almond and macadamia. Did you ever try halua kenari? It's a kind of toffee made from kenari and palm sugar: delicious. Or 'enak' as they would say in Indonesia.
She's gonna go down in history like the Cronut guy, or at least she should! That's so cool!
13:30 Jared, i remember your old videos where you roast and make drinks out of a few seeds/nuts. friends came over to review
do that video again with Kenari nut 😆
12:05 I eat fresh walnuts from my garden. They're a bit more work to eat that way, because the skin is pretty bitter, so you really have to take that off first, and with the intricate shape of walnuts that's a bit of work. But I absolutely prefer them fresh. Hazelnuts are also amazing when fresh.
The suspenseful music when the skinny bent-tailed cat was sneaking up on the cat with the treats, followed by him happily chowing down on his own pile of treats next to the other cat got a loud laugh out of me.
I may be mistaken, but are some of these musical bits from Toejam & Earl? Loved the Nutmeg video btw, so good.
be on the lookout for kepel fruit while there, I grow them and are amazing perfumy that makes your breath smell like vanilla for hours, although you would battle with the locals that see it as a fruit only noble can eat so it wont ever be sold at a market, elders have never tasted it for fear of black magic punishing them if they do. They usually planted near former palaces and mosques to bring good fortune and just ignore the locals if they upset you eating the fruit and casting bad omens to the village. Its just a fruit and they gotta get over it
I am not sure if it is the case, but it is interesting to think that it is:
The word Banda in Sundanese means treasure, so Banda islands, does sounds like an island full of treasure for me
The German translation of the title says Walnut Nut (Walnussnuss), which is really funny
Also, the German description seems to be a template as the episode number, fruit name, etc aren't specified
Probably because in Indonesian kenari is often mistranslated as walnut, or rather, walnut as kenari.
In North Africa, they do the same thing with their tea.
But they put pine nuts and almonds in it.
Interesting, I haven't heard of that. Maybe the practice of doing that in North Africa and Kashmiri tea comes from the same source by way of trade or they came up with it individually.
Great coffee shop
Dude, your bravery knows no end
this is the fruit of my childhood. after school my head was lowered looking for fallen fruit, smash it with rock and ate the white seeds. it's nutty and delicious
You should try Arctic Bramble if you havent already! :D. I think it is also called arctic raspberry in english. It's SOOOOO goood!!
Wow, from the last scene, the tree that fell down is really huge.
Fascinating ❤
appx 18:20 wow, a real vegan cheesecake? Will it store/freeze well? possible American market?
Was just about to comment, about giving the other cat a few lol. Good on you bro. WAIT!!! Grant reached out or his family? Sorry, prolly just wasn't paying full attention. But...I must know if Grant himself reached out.
Antarctica has green unfrozen areas sometimes. Perhaps under certain times of the year there are spring blooms of grass, flowers and perhaps fruits
Sadly no true Antarctica fruits, though there are gaultheria fruits in Falklands and subanatrtic islands plus Kerglan cabbage
No fruits unfortunately.
Pour boiling water to kenari fruit. Try it. In borneo/Kalimantan they eat the fruit.
8:25 I've seen in Sarawak, Dabai sellers scrape off some of the thin layer of the outer skin. i had presumed it was to make the soaking time even shorter.
perhaps you can try to do the same with Kenari (if you ever go there again 😁)
Yeah I've seen that! I think they do that to have less of the skin flavor. I like it with the skin intact personally.
the song around 8:20 is very SIm City 2000
So, do all of the other coffee shops putting the nuts in the spiced coffee attribute the idea to June at Sibu Sibu? Or is there a variety of origin stories?
it happens a lot in Indonesia, someone made a new variation of food, and the inventor remains unknown while everyone making it.
Nope, they just took her idea. I think at this point many people don't know that she and her husband created it. Its often listed as a "traditional drink" online and there are many recipes. Its available on other islands throughout Indonesia and there is even a company making instant rarobang coffee!
I asked June if she was upset that people have taken her idea, and she didn't really answer it but gracefully led into talking about how she is glad that rarobang coffee is helping people learn about the traditional ingredients in Maluku.
Not sure if you distrust her claims, not even sure if I trust them or not, but I did take a look at what Google can find on it - and the earliest mention was 2012. So it is indeed very likely a modern invention. I tried to find any mention of an origin story, and only found an article by CNN where the same woman made the same claim. No other contenders, but mostly simply no attribution to any inventor, it therefore seems that her story is likely true, but that hardly anyone actually knows the origin story of the drink.
lovely June
If you go culinary your channel will go 📈 🎉
It's unreal how close to real cheesecake that kenari cake looked
Curiosity piqued. What are the orange fruits at 0:20? I know very well that they could be any number of the orange/citrus family but there are oodles of other round orange fruit that are not oranges.
gandaria. it's similar to mango but a different genus. video coming soon :)
@@WeirdExploreryo, was looking for the Gandaria comment? So this is a boea species related to maprang right? I’ve wanted to try this one heard it’s nice but never saw them so round
@@stevenmurray3238 I think they are the same species as maprang. The ones in Ambon were rounder and juicier than ones I've had elsewhere in SE asia so I could be wrong. Taste is the same from what I can tell.
macadamia nuts raw also very amazing
"nuts with every sip" doesn't sound too appealing, but I would give it a try. Long time fallower. Also, have a happy new year.
Happy New Year to you too!
Have you tried tamanu? I just found out it exists while googling ingredients in a skincare serum
Great video again! Have you tried kepel?
Not yet!
Good video..
Fun video😊
Cool
That is a huge tree. Once you guys went under that trunk, we could see how big that tree was.
Love your videos
It seems like your favourite place to visit most likely in southeast Asia 😁
I really hope the cafe owner gets some noticeable traffic from this video. She seems great.
Also btw UA-cam auto translate of titles is dog shit. This title got translated into "Walnussnuss" in German. A non existing word meaning walnutnut - and the rest got cut. Just this single word.
Does that second location have people who eat the skin? Since they have different customs of eating the nut.
I've had raw almonds. They're pretty good, but very mild.
Could you compare the texture to raw chestnuts perhaps?
its softer and crispier than raw chestnut
Another fact Kenari in Bahasa Indonesia can also mean Walnuts
Have you tried the Cohune nut?
Be careful with species synonyms. There's huge differences with cultivars. Think dachshund and collie.
Lol that one nosey white guy in the café that kept looking back at you. He looked so confused.
Not sure when it happened, but UA-cam unsubscribed me. I just re-subscribed, but that is frustrating.
You tested all the Parts and it sounded like a Paste would mix the Tastes to a good Combo.
Less Labour, more Yield, decent Taste?
good idea, someone could make a sauce blending the fruit and seed together to get more out it.
What a sweet beautiful Lady, so cute ❤
I didn't even know kenari is not the same like almond, in indonesia we are taught that kenari is almond in english, just like we are taught that "bawang merah" is onion instead of shallot lol
grant thompson? isnt that the youtuber that tried a paragliding trick and crashed and died like 4 years ago or something
My hometown manado is very close to ambon, i love halua kenari (kanari clumped w palm sugar), we use in Klappertaart, bobengka, dodol, as toppings in balapis... love it.❤
I love fresh peanuts
Nutmeg jam he said 😂 cant even imagine such !
3:28 I know I’m childish but could someone make a remix of “people drying deez nuts in front of their houses”? Please? I would listen to it for hours:D
Just wondering if you ever tried Monkey Jack or Monkey Fruit? Please allow me to suggest you do as it got some interesting taste, a unique tropical fruit.
fanastic.
