You should also go to a Brazilian grocery store. Brazilian food is really different from other Latin American countries and I think you would like it. You should also try Brazilian cinema (I'd recommend Central Station, it was nominated to the academy awards for best international film and and for best actress in the 90's)

@adambrickley9088

3 жыл бұрын

The interesting thing is the US is that there are a lot of "Latin American" grocery stores that basically throw together products from most of Spanish-speakin Latin America in one store (haven't seen much Brazilian but I think those might be rarer separate stores.) So you have this weird effect of walking into a "Latin Market" and then once you're in you realize what local community is their primary clientele (a lot are very Mexican but one I was in recently was extremely Peruvian).

Something I’ve noticed throughout the years is that my favorite artists/creative people all happen to be from Russia. That country is full of the most amazing creativity I’ve ever seen in my life. I really hope to travel there one day.

Ballad of a Soldier (1959) film - one of the greatest! Highly recommend!

I can say with full confidence that "Ivan Vasilievich Back to the Future" was one of the funniest movies my friend Artyom shared with me! He and his family moved to the US when he was young, but he's been trying to share childhood movies with us because quarantines made us all miss being little kids. Also USSR movies are absolutely wild to watch, so much happens in such a short time! Couldn't recommend that eras comedies more! Can't wait to see what others think of it!

It's so fun to see 2 of my KZread friends together! I've followed Niki since he was in Thailand in early 2020. I'm going to St. Petersburg next year, so I'll look for some of these foods. I have a great Soviet movie on DVD, Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. It won the Best Foreign Movie Academy Award in 1980.

"Moscow doesn't believe in tears" is another soviet era classic

i always think of my lecturer in uni whenever i think of russia-- he lived there for a couple of years and he wouldnt stop talking about in our class. we even had a study group to their embassy once. would live to visit russia someday!

My two favourite Russian movies are 1) Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears, which won an academy award. It's a bit of a heavy movie though 2) Office Romance, which is a really sweet, light-hearted romantic comedy

It's so amazing to me to see how much similarity is in foods, even in countries that are considered to be neighbors/related in languages. I'm Polish, and so much of the food shown in the video is pretty much what I grew up eating in my Polish household in NYC and when I'd visit family in Poland.

Yeah! Because I feel food is cultural and like local thing , goes beyond actual border but connect people who are close together geographicly. I mean many Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Slovak, but Lithuanian People too eat same kind off foods, but even within those countries there are regions where people cook a bit differently. Also there was one video where a girl compared Polish and German eating and the similarities are uncanny. You know I think maybe nowadays our food culture is going in a different direction but I think that Europe has been through a lot as a continent and some things Thorne it apart but some also joined everyone together and a lot of European countries stand by dairy products , meats (especially cold-cuts ), bread and pickled food.

Very often people making videos about Russian food forget to mention that some of the popular foods there are not actually Russian. Thank you for mentioning that Adjika is Georgian!🇬🇪 Love your videos❤️

Not only is the video beautifully put together but the playlist and the artist are fantastic as well. Thank you for opening these windows for your viewers!

Another Russian film I'd recommend is "Moscow doesn't believe in tears". It won Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1981. It's considered to be a classic.

First time so early Love how you respect all the cultures Love from India 🇮🇳

Grocery stores are a passion of mine and I recently started learning Russian and my friend told me to come to Brighton Beach! I love this. Recently I watched Battleship Potemkin/ Броненосец «Потёмкин» which is from 1925 and is really an exquisite piece of history and a movie-musical-comedy called « Стиляги » / Hipsters(lol). It was lively.

My favourite Russian movie is "Kidnapping, Caucasian Style" (кавказская пленница ) a ussr comedy about an anthropology student who travels to Crimea and gets roped into a kidnapping affair thinking he is just learning about crimean traditions!

How hungry you made this ole Russian girl living in an area with no Russian market any longer. I was so happy and nostalgic seeing the deli counter. Beryl, I think you made me drool hahaha.

I lived in Russia for 3 months and my favorite standout ingredient was Russian mustard. I'm not sure what they do but its 100x better than any mustard I've had anywhere else in the world. It's super sharp and pungent and just soooo good.

I love mini cheese cakes/cheese curd snacks! When I was younger I loved the Philadelphia Cream Cheese "cheese cake bars" you could buy in US supermarkets, but they discontinued them. Then in my 20s I got to visit Lithuania and bought a cheese curd snack in a store and they were almost a better version of those cheesecake bars I missed so much!

I read The Gentleman in Moscow last year and the Russian dishes that were mentioned that had me craving everything. Black rye bread was mentioned a lot of times.

i spent my college years in Russia, so thank you for bringing back those food memories!

wow, i’m really amazed by what a broad variety of foods your today’s guest provided. given he’s russian, i’m even more surprised he named many goods that i myself would buy when casually shopping groceries. sirniki is actually one of my absolute favorites to have for breakfast, they’re quite cheap to make, and i personally like them more cheesy (if it’s correct to say so in case we’re talking about cottage cheese) rather than bready and fluffy. what for the sweets, i’m not a real fan of any cliché russian chocolate treats, but what i do like are soviet themed soy bars of a brand called ‘rot front’ or соевые батончики in russian. AND OMG IVAN VASILIEVYTCH ON THE LIST! one of the very few russian new year movies that i can rewatch million times and every time it’d feel like it’s first time watching it! i’d add ‘Любовь и голуби’ и ‘Служебный роман’, they both create the same magical vibe whenever they’re on air! great investigation as always, beryl! lot of luv from russia, can’t wait for a new video to come 🤍💙❤️

Look for Russian recipes that use buckwheat (flour or groats). Blinis are DELICIOUS -- plain or with just a spot of your choice of sour cream, melted butter, syrup, jam, Nutella, berries or sliced fruit, caviar, clotted cream, peanut butter, et cetera. And, of course, there's belly-filling, soul-filling borscht! The trick with borscht is that if there are chunks of meat in it, it is possible that they were dusted with flour before browning. So if you are celiac or highly gluten-sensitive, you have to either stick with vegetarian borscht if you buy from a store or restaurant, or make your own.

This channel is the best way to get a crash course on cultures that I didn't even know I'd want to learn about. Thank you Beryl!

Makes me happy that eastern European food is getting recognition! As a Ukrainian, this is all the same food I grew up with. Its an extremely underrated cuisine! Some of my favorite Russian language films: Carnival Night (1956) super classic alyosha popovich i tugarin zmey. it's a kid's animated movie but I still laugh every time I watch it

yaaaaay, a Russian-themed video! btw, that Russian music playlist is dope, and you put one of my all-time favourite bands in there! P.S. Correct me if I'm wrong, dear Belochka, but did I just witness you having a caviar sandwich, syrniki with sour cream, kvas and ryazhenka all in one meal and finishing it with a shot of vodka? I hope your stomach felt okay after that. P.P.S. Speaking of Russian movies, I'd recommend starting from movies made by Gaiday (the director of "Ivan Vasilievich..."), Ryazanov or Daneliya. If you want something more modern, try anything by "Kvartet I" ("Election Day", "Radio Day", and my personal favourite, "What Men Talk about") or Stilyagi (translated into English as "Hipsters", though it has nothing to do with 2010s subculture, but is actually a 1950s-themed musical). Most of the movies that I mentioned are on youtube with English subs. And if you're more into serious movies, try Tarkovsky or Sokurov. And if you have kids, you could watch Russian cartoons or Soviet fairy tales.

Pelosi : This is russian disinformation message

For Russian cinema I definitely recommend морозко! It's a beautiful but kinda funny story and I've watched it every Christmas since I was a child.

Love what a wholesome educational space this channel is turning out to be. ♥️♥️ Definitely trying Syrniki!

I am from Georgia 🇬🇪 and trust me Adjika (Georgian hot sauce) 🌶 is one of the best thing in the world

Love the stuff. I live in Belarus, and the best kind is made by the babushkas in the farmers markets. 😁

I actually live near a Ukrainian/Russian Market! There’s a big Eastern European population in my area and this does hit home thank you so much for highlighting Russian food! 💕

Yay Beryl! I’ve been having a rough few weeks and watching your videos brings me to a better place. Thank you.

Fantastic video! I'm Polish and many of the foods are the same or similar. Watching this made me feel nostalgic and hungry! 😋💕
