"You never get too old to enjoy a chocolate ball"
The wisest words ever

Love how most of them go to fancy bakeries, but Australia and UK just go to a supermarket xD

France looks so fancy, even the bag looks amazing.

Fun fact: Macarons are actually Italians, because Caterina de Medici commissioned these to an Italian baker, then she brought them in France at her wedding with Enrico II di Francia.

Who else thought Greece was just the bread

I like how the Australian self-checkout has an Australian accent XD

This is great, loved it. In South Africa we have so many culture that has a preferred cookie or backed good. In my Afrikaner culture, I would say that we enjoy the plait koeksisters and soetkoekies.

Koeksister is a type of deep fried dough, that is soaked in a sugar syrup - It is very sweet, thus traditionally had with strong coffee. Its shape is always a little plait. The inner texture is similar to the texture of the South Korean treat. Our Cape Malay communities has a different variation on the koeksister, the dough and inner texture is completely different. The shape is an oval ball, inside is similar to a donut however the dough is flavoured with a mixture of spices. The fried ball is briefly dipped in a sugar syrup and the covered with desiccated coconut.

Soetkoekies - Soetkoekies are baked cookies, ideal for dipping into a hot beverage. Most of the time they have a vanilla base (in some occasions mixed spice is added) with some decoration on top such as a piece of candied fruit or they are tossed in fine white sugar after they are baked and slightly cooled.

Me, an Australian: She better be getting Tim Tams

[hhwwaa]

Lmao as a Vietnamese person I love how the subtitles kinda match with what she was saying but at the same time not at all she said more to the lines of “very crunchy this reminds me of my mom
I miss her”

[aietra]

3:50 idk but I love how she said merci

[irockmore]

Imagine going into the shop and stopping at ONE. That amount of self restraint

[jaeromie]

Funfact: Speculoos (Belgium) is eaten worldwide, it’s the Lotus Biscoff cookie!

[mariasianturi]

The pig ear cookies from Vietnam is just like elephant ear cookies from indonesia, we called it elephant ear because the size is more bigger and the color is dark/dark brown and white. The texture is the same as she describe. And Tim Tam from Australia, we loved them too.😍😍😍

i love this series, feels so good to learn about other places and their delights

[pinksk]

Anyone else notice that most places are hole in the wall, freshly produced cookies, whereas the UK & Aussie are mass produced cookies (nothing against them, I love Tim tams & digestives!). I hope all these other places can keep their uniqueness & not become mass/factory produced products. Can’t wait to visit these beautiful countries someday

everyone explaining what they got

french girl: mmMmmM

[analanaf]

As a Peruvian, I should say alfajores are one of my fondest childhood treats. No matter the occasion, my parents would always make time for a quick trip to our local bakery so we could buy those delicious sweets!

This video brought back many memories, thank you. ❤️🇵🇪

In Thailand, there’s a cookie called “Singapore Cookie” It’s a crunchy cookie with flower shape and has a cashew nut on the top. It’s not a Singaporean’s dish but because many years ago the flour that use to make the cookies can only be imported from Singapore.
