  • (upbeat music)

  • - Mm.

  • - I'm Beryl and this week we're looking at desserts.

  • Or puddings or sweets, whatever you call it.

  • It is non-savory food week, yay!

  • The world was not always addicted to sugar.

  • In fact, the original sweeteners were honey and dried fruit.

  • But then we got sugar cane.

  • Sugar cane is actually originally from New Guinea.

  • But the plant made its way to India

  • and there, around 100 AD,

  • are the first instances of sugar refinement.

  • The crop spread to the Middle East and China rather quickly.

  • But it didn't get to Europe until around the 12th century

  • and it really only got there because of colonization.

  • My dog smells the donut.

  • - [Man] How ya doing?

  • - I'm recording!

  • Hey!

  • - [Man] Give the dog donut.

  • - (laughs) There's a lot happening right now.

  • Since then, sugar has taken on many, many forms.

  • Ice cream.

  • Cake.

  • Perfect French, tiny, expensive cookies.

  • Mm.

  • Chocolate.

  • Jello.

  • It's good.

  • There is a lot out there.

  • There's no way that I could cover it all.

  • I mean, at least not in a video like I make.

  • I'd be out here forever.

  • It'd be delicious though.

  • But I chose desserts that I thought were interesting

  • and that maybe you hadn't heard of before.

  • 'Cause we're all curious people, right?

  • I spoke to seven people in seven countries

  • to see what desserts were like around the world.

  • So this is the dessert episode.

  • In making this episode I decided two things.

  • One, I'm not gonna do instant desserts.

  • So nothing from a box.

  • Sorry, Betty Crocker.

  • And two, I wanted the desserts to have a connection

  • to the culture that we were in.

  • Sorry, one last thing before we start the video.

  • I know that I could only cover seven.

  • And I'm sure that I missed some amazing desserts out there.

  • So let me know in the comments where you're from

  • and what the best dessert from your country is,

  • because I am super interested

  • and I bet other people are too.

  • My future self thanks you.

  • Okay, let's start the video.

  • (bright music)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • - Gajar ka halwa is not difficult to make.

  • It's quite a basic sweet found in Indian households.

  • The red carrots particularly are quite sweet by themselves.

  • So it's a sweet dish with a nice crunch of nuts to it.

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • - [Beryl] Okay, let's begin.

  • So first up, a dessert from Turkey

  • that leads with a non-traditional ingredient, chicken.

  • (upbeat music)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • I saw this dessert on "Great British Bake Off"

  • and was totally intrigued.

  • Did not disappoint.

  • (upbeat music)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (bright music)

  • In Colombia, this dessert has a deep rooted history

  • with not only the city but the people who make it.

  • (upbeat music)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (bright music)

  • I chose this dessert from Japan

  • because it is made out of something

  • that I would not consider a dessert, beans.

  • (bright music)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • Whenever I'm in India, this is what I ask for after dinner.

  • The carrots here work perfectly in the dessert.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - Gajar ka halwa is made out of the things

  • that you usually find in your kitchen.

  • My name is Anar.

  • I live in Gujarat, India.

  • This recipe was taught to me by my mother-in-law.

  • Her recipe of gajar ka halwa is really loved

  • by all our family and friends.

  • Gajar is like carrots.

  • And halwa is like a pudding made

  • with wheat flour, semolina, other vegetable.

  • Gaja ka halwa is cooked grated carrots

  • in milk or cream and then sweeten it with sugar.

  • The red carrots particularly are quite sweet by themselves.

  • So the among of sugar that you put

  • in this dish is quite subjective.

  • Nuts are fried.

  • Nuts are added to it, raisins are added to it.

  • That's how a gajar ka halwa is made.

  • This is usually eaten

  • during special occasions but during winters,

  • people prefer to eat it daily as a dessert.

  • It can be even eaten with ice cream during summers.

  • So it is very rich in taste.

  • It has a good flavor of carrots and cardamom

  • and that gives it a very nice crunch.

  • So it's a very universal dish,

  • very appealing to the taste and simple to eat and cook.

  • (upbeat music)

  • - [Beryl] This dessert from Lebanon actually makes

  • my mouth water just thinking about how good it tastes.

  • (bright music)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (bright music)

  • And finally, we end with a cake

  • that's cooked over an open fire

  • and looks nothing like a cake.

  • (bright music)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • - Mm.

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (people cheering)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • - I think desserts are an amazing way to explore a country

  • because if you're not totally down

  • with trying the main parts of the cuisine,

  • maybe you're not the most adventurous eater,

  • desserts are a really safe place to go.

  • Plus, they're usually utilizing a lot

  • of local ingredients and flavors.

  • So you're still totally getting a taste

  • and a sense of where you are.

  • Which is great.

  • Desserts look good and they make you feel good.

  • And they taste really good.

  • So, yeah, I don't know.

  • This has been a great week.

  • I liked it.

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • (speaking in foreign language)

  • - Because this dessert is special,

  • you enjoy eating it with the family.

  • (bright music)
