Hi Baryl, I’m glad you liked the mussel soup. Thank you for letting me be part of your video and I also enjoyed it as well

[ProduccionesSamy]

Oh no, the black plantain would’ve been perfect for this dish. When my brother goes to the grocery store he gets a discount on the plantains that are all black (even more than the one you showed on the video) because the owner says nobody buys them, but most people don’t know those are the sweetest ones and haven’t actually gone bad at all.

Tinolang tahong... it's a surprise that there was a lemon soda used.
Usually, we use the lemon soda in stir frying shrimp in olive oil or vegetable oil, with butter, garlic, and onions; seasoned with salt and ground black pepper.
As for the cola soda, we season a duck and deep fry it until it's cooked. Then we stew it whole in pineapple juice, vinegar, and coke; until almost syrupy. Takes hours, but it's good.

Here in Germany there is a simpler version of the Fanta cake with sugar, lemon icing and sugar sprinkles. The Fanta is used directly in the dough, it is very popular here to bake for occasions such as birthdays or it is often brought to parties.

Knowing Beryl likes fish sauce as much as I do makes me happier for some reason.

Series suggestion: focus on one continent per episode, showing dishes from different countries from either the same continent or region.

[DanteAbendstern]

Soda is probably the hardest thing to use in cooking, if you strictly follow a recipe cause taste and colour differ wildly depending on where you live. Fanta in the UK for example has only a third of the amount of sugar that Fanta in the US has and looks way brighter

I think you also need to do the German Fanta Cake. The Fanta goes into the batter of the cake and not on top as a jelly. Totally different and so tasty.

[SpinX]

Coke makes a pretty good base for a sauce for chicken wings. Also when I make fish and chips from scratch I use ginger ale when making the batter.

Granny Smith are the apples you want for baking! The tartness works well with sweeteners, and it remains firm after cooking instead of turning to mush :) I wish I could eat apples, but I have chronic illness that doesn't like certain types of natural sugars, so I can't eat apples anymore :(

[taraoakes]

My brother insists on Watergate cake every year for his birthday. It’s made with pistachio pudding mix and 7-up. (The frosting is made with more pistachio pudding mix.) I wasn’t surprised to see recipes made with sodas.

Cummerbund Bandersnatch is one of my favorites. 😆

[angyeliz]

We have used soda in several recipes over the years. 7up biscuits, Dr Pepper pulled pork, coke cola cake and root beer baked beans. Lots of sugar for sure but all are yummy.

[atulmalhotra]

When you said 'thunk' for 'thought' I was floored Beryl

Love it ! 🙂😂

[kataszamel]

Eating mussles without slurping (learned from an Italian): eat one, then use the empty shell as a tweezer to get the other mussles out of the shells. It works for me!

[oxanadc]

OMGMGMGMG!!!
Thank you so much for sharing my family recipe, and glad to know you enjoy it. 
I love spreading the love for cooking on my own YouTube channel and you have always been one of my main inspirations ☺
Glad I could be part of the video and if you ever need another recipe don't hesitate to let me know
PS: You should defo try it with walnuts even if you don't like them, trust me they add a nice crunch and flavour that😏 might turn you into a walnut lover

[bsteven]

I LOVE Granny Smith apples!! 🍏 They give a refreshing tartness, especially right out of the refrigerator, that quenches the thirst and wakes up my taste buds.

[gdlnovn]

Weird easy thing is to take a box cake mix...add one 12 Oz can of soda and nothing else to the mix. Stir gently and then bake. This is a life saver if you run out of eggs or oil that are typically needed for cake mixes. You can use diet and it works with any flavor of soda. My favorite combo is a chocolate cake with Cherry Coke.

[angelasieg]

My mom's 1980s Crockpot cook book has a recipe for beef roast cooked in Coke. There was another cooking ham in Dr. Pepper. I love to bake, I developed some of my own recipes. My favorite was an Ice cream cake for my daughters birthday. The pond cake turned out really well. I made ice cream myself and frosted it in real whipped cream. I garnished with some fresh berries, and it was a hit.

[nananaklaro]

In Germany we also have Fanta Cake, but it’s basically a Fanta sponge cake with lemon glaze and sprinkles on top. Perfect for a childrens birthday party

[janiragavina]

I’m Mexico we use Mirinda soda or mandarin flavored soda to make cóctel. Which is a seafood cocktail. It gives the tomato/ketchup based dish a nice crisp sweetness
