- Okay now, hold on.
Very interesting.
It's good.
Hi, I'm Beryl.
And this week,
we are looking at interesting food combinations.
I asked all of you what were some food pairing
that might be a little bit different
or a little strange.
And you all responded with some very interesting things.
So I chose a balance
between cultural combinations
that were different from things that I'm used to
and personal combinations.
So in this video we are looking at three.
From Spain, Poland and the United States.
So, here we go.
Taste buds, (Beryl mimics sheep sound)
get ready, its gonna be fun.
(lively orchestral music)
- Hey, hello everyone.
My name is Alessandra and I'm from Spain.
The combo I want to share with you today
is something really really odd.
It's chorizo and Nutella sandwich.
I'm not sure how this sandwich became famous to be honest.
But it's something at every birthday party is,
you can find it.
I think it's something is not common,
like you can't find in the supermarket for example in Spain.
But if you talk to someone about this,
we know already what you are talking about.
It's very easy and simple to do.
So basically you have to take two slices of bread
put it in the toaster,
get them a little bit brown,
spread a lot a lot of Nutella on,
it's my personal recommendation
and maybe four or five slices of chorizo.
It's creamy and really sweet
and definitely it's not bland at all.
Many people they think this is crazy and disgusting
but believe me its something really really good
and delicious.
(laughing)
- Chorizo and Nutella,
I mean I think it makes sense,
maybe.
Oh, that's some crunchy bread.
Okay now hold on,
I'm feeling like this working.
Okay this works.
So, I like it.
(laughing)
To be fair,
I kind of feel like
you could put Nutella on almost anything
and it would taste good,
but this is why I think that this combination works
at least for me.
I think that the Chorizo is salty and smokey.
And then Nutella,
is kind of sweet and savory almost.
Because you know Nutella
is got that hazel nut vibe going on.
God, what happen to my bread?
I can imagine myself in Spain.
Just hanging out, you know.
Having a chorizo and Nutella sandwich
and everyone be like, "Oh, how did you know?"
And I be like, (Hushing)
I feel like, Alessandra
invited us all into this like secret club of Spanish snacks.
(laughing)
Thanks Alessandra.
You know like, I don't know will I make this for myself?
Maybe not.
But, someone served it to me?
It'd be gone.
(lively orchestral music)
- Hello,
my name is Magda and I'm from Poland.
And the dish I would like to share
with you today is pasta with strawberry
and with sour cream.
This dish is just a very nice,
simple lunch you can assemble quickly.
I know that this combination
might be very unusual to you,
in Poland, we love strawberries.
Whenever the strawberries are in season,
I can remember from my childhood,
we would eat them everyday,
for pretty much two months.
Actually, in Poland,
I know quite a lot of people
who would not like this dish
because they would be eating it
quite a lot at school with over boiled pasta.
So, they end up not liking it
once they were grown-up.
But I think that's I really really recommend you to try it.
You just some pasta, al dente,
you should take thick pasta,
like Pappardelle or Farfalle.
Then you take the strawberries, ideally fresh
and you cuts them into halves or in quarters.
I'd recommend you add a small layer os sugar on top
because it will let you squeeze
all the juices nicely out.
Then you need to take a very thick sour cream.
And you will add a teaspoon
or two teaspoons of sugar to it,
just to your liking.
And then you assemble everything together.
It's very simple to prepare,
very easy to prepare.
And you can actually start slow.
So you would just take a strawberries
with sour cream and sugar.
And to begin with,
it's actually a very very popular dessert in Poland.
And then, if you want you can just add pasta to the mix.
And there you go.
- I've tried to do a pink theme
for my strawberry pasta.
(laughs)
I kind of,
I think this is like a strawberry shortcake.
Do you know what I mean?
I don't know.
(Beryl humming) (fork tossing the pasta)
Very interesting.
It's not that I don't like it
cause obviously, I like it.
There's nothing that not to like in here,
but do I understand that?
But why pair the pasta?
(playful music)
Why paired with pasta?
Why not do bread?
Cause then you have like strawberry shortcake.
But sometime, I'm angelus.
For those of you who are in Poland,
please let us know in the comments
how you feel about this?
Cause Magda did say,
that some people did not like it.
- This a mess.
I will say that,
January is clearly not a strawberry season.
So, this strawberries I tried to let them ripened
but (huffing)
like what can you do?
Not much.
I mean, they're sweet
but frozen might have been a better bet.
May has an interesting combination
and I got it, you know.
Plop me in a situation where someone feeds me this?
I'll happily eat it.
The pasta's interesting now,
I like this.
I like it, you got me.
Interesting.
(laughing)
(slow playful music)
- Hi Beryl, I'm Kara.
I'm in Cincinnati.
And I'm here today to talk to you
about my one of my favorite weird food combinations,
peanut butter and fried egg sandwich.
It's something that really easy
and comes together in just a few minutes.
My grandfather is actually the one who taught me about this.
We're on our own one day, left our own devices,
he's not much as a cook but we both really like to eat.
So, he made this for me that afternoon,
and I thought it's little strange
but he kind of urge me to try it.
And it turned out, I really liked it.
It's not something I make very often
but it's really good.
You take two slices of toast,
whatever kind you like.
I prefer white,
then you scatter both sides of peanut butter.
I prefer creamy,
you can use crunchy or whatever you have on-hand.
Add a fried egg,
and sandwich it altogether and enjoy.
It's a little bit messy,
for me at least I prefer mine with a runny yolk
and I like to dip the sandwich in the yolk
as I'm eating it.
It's delicious.
I don't think it's that's strange,
specially if you like eggs in toast.
I know they're are different variations around the world.
I do think people should try this.
It's something really easy,
most people have most of the ingredients at home.
You can add hot sauce or whatever you like.
And kind a make your own.
I hope you all get to try it.
And you enjoy.
Thanks.
(playful piano music)
♪It's the final sandwich ♪
- I was listening to the final countdown.
(laughing)
okay.
It's good.
I love that,
this is something that Kara's grandfather made up
and that she had with him.
And I think that kind of one of those fun things
about food combinations that somebody does something
and kinda turns you on into it.
And there's a story behind it,
which gives it a lot of meaning.
Actually,
I had should pretty in to this.
I dip it in the yolk.
I gotta cloud nine in my mouth.
I just have food, everywhere I can feel it.
This definitely a personal thing for me,
but I grew up with a lot of peanut butter as a kid.
And so I think,
that peanut butter trigger
is a little bit of that childhood nostalgia
and so it is a comforting flavor for me.
And putting with eggs, which is like,
eggs who don't
I mean, I guess some people don't like eggs
but I love eggs.
There's something's very nice about this.
It's a bomb in the mouth,
like between the peanut butter and the bread
the egg yolk, my mouth is like I need a beverage.
I should've gotten one.
So we know that this video is a little different
because there's only three and I am normally do five,
I felt like,
the videos were getting really long.
Like, a ports of 17 minutes
and I felt the same time like I was rushing people
and I had to cut them.
And I wanted to give people
a little bit more time to talk about things.
So, I'm trying this out
and what that means is that,
most of these moving forward
or gonna have two parts,
because I had plan ahead.
So, there is a food combination part two video.
That's gonna come out.
And I'm curious what you guys think about
making them a little shorter
it definitely means that,
I have more time to work on other videos.
The bigger fivons,
even though I know it doesn't seem
maybe like that much work
like, they're monsters to get out the editing alone.
It's just like, it's wild.
Anyway, (munching bread)
I'm still eating.
I should've waited, I was talking,
why would I take a bite?
(laughs)
I launch my Patreon and so many of you join
that I can't even believe it.
I'm so excited, at the 20$ level.
We're doing a cooking club once a month
and for all of you who are in it,
I have so many fun ideas.
And I'm really excited to cook with all of you.
And pick some recipes that are yours,
and some of mine,
and I don't know it's gonna be really exciting.
Anyway, that being said, like I ask.
Let me know if you think about doing the three
and maybe doing two parts of each one
for a little bit.
And I will see you all,
in my next video.
