The Philippine topping of coffee being too strong might have been because the 'standard' instant coffee here in the Philippines tends to be something called '3 in 1' which is powdered milk/creamer, instant coffee and sugar and dissolves almost immediately with any form of moisture.

Like let’s be real it can vary from a 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup depending how your day was and a couple of table spoons of cold milk then stir until a think paste. Is okay if it’s lumpy.

Mom you finally ready to try pork floss?!

I’m glad there were so many savory ones! I discovered “savory oats” last year and it was an eye opener. I feel like most Americans see oatmeal as strictly sweet. Some of my faves are cocoa powder, peanut butter, and topped with either strawberries or bananas (if I have them on hand), I also love topping oats with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit- the yogurt really makes it. And for savory I also like treating it like congee so sautéed mushrooms, green onions, sesame oil and seeds, and fried egg is really good. But this gave me some great ideas to try!

Hello, I'm Chinese Malaysian living in Australia. I used to have oats sweetened with either honey or condensed milk. But have recently discovered savoury oats and have been loving it so much more. I had it with beef stir fry yesterday. Last week I had a mushroom, garlic and spinich one. I've also had it with vegimite and chicken. I've even had it with just tasty cheese. I can't believe all this time I only knew about sweet oats when the world of savoury oats existed. I'll certainly be trying out more savoury oat recpies in the future. They are delicious! Bon Apetit!

As a Swede I highly approve of the Canadian oatmeal of topping it with Lingonberry jam and maple syrup, sounds yum! In Sweden it’s super common to put some lingonberries on top of hot oatmeal, and then pour some cold milk on the sides of the oatmeal in the bowl (cow, oat, soy, whatever milk you like). The temperature contrast is nice between the porridge and the cold milk. And the milk helps round out the lingonberry jam. And the lingonberry jam isn’t as sweet as other jams, so it makes for quite a refreshing breakfast. But maple syrup and lingonberry combo sounds delicious and something I will have to give a try (Maybe with some cold milk, we like our dairy here in the nordics). But the maple syrup taste I can imagine probably goes well with lingonberries

I usually have bananas, blueberries, protein powder, chia seeds, vanilla extract, and a dash of salt. But shredded apple is great 🇳🇿and now that I've been inspired I think I'm going to try apple with a bit of cheddar. 🇧🇸

At the end, you said "it's cool to think outside our own boxes of what is a 'good' topping". When I watch this series, I actually think the opposite. I look at oatmeal and think "breakfast porridge". It's not savoury, it's not exactly sweet, it's just a plain base for my fruit or yogurt. When I watched this video, my perception expanded and I have now unlocked oatmeal as a complex base for toppings I didn't even give a second thought to before. I can put literally anything I want on it now. The oatmeal broke out of the box, not the toppings. Food for thought!

The savoury ones are so intriguing! Along the pina colada lines, one of my favourite porridges to make is with coconut milk as the main liquid, mango (fresh is best but I live in Northern Europe so frozen is what I've got) and a sprinkling of palm sugar to make a cheater's version of Thai sticky mango rice. To be fair it's probably not much more work to actually make the real thing...

Hello 👋 dear ,how are you doing?

As someone from macedonia, this is the first time im seeing it being eaten like this, for savory oatmeal we use sour milk (кисело млеко) and oats, its usually not boiled either, thats it, maybe because im from the part of the country where rice is a more abundant grain so we dont have that boiled variation with milk, cheese and butter

Love this series on toppings! I always struggle with putting the same toppings on oatmeal in particular, so I’m inspired! Can you do leftover pasta next (ex. elbow macaroni, penne, etc)? OR, what else to put on instant Mac n cheese? (I have small kids so mac n cheese is frequently in our rotation… I often put frozen green peas in at the end of the cooking time for the pasta to give it a little more nutrition). Wondering what other combos might be good

You might like danish pasta casserole; I guess you could prepare mac´n cheese with the same ingredients as well. You stack alternating layers of leftover noodles you mixed with dices of ham, peas and baby carrots (where I live you can get cans of precooked peas and carrots) with grated cheese in a greased casserole and then pour over it a mixture of eggs and milk, like thin scrambled eggs. You can leave out the egg mixture, but then a lot more cheese is necessary to keep it from falling apart if you put a piece on a plate. It´s ready if the egg mix is fully set and the cheese melted, which takes an hour plus/minus 15mins on 350F. Depending on your oven you might want to cover the top with tinfoil to prevent the top layer of pasta from drying out in the corners.

Yeah, part of why I watch your channel is definitely to see your reactions to the dishes. Its not the watching you eat part, it's more of watching how you experience what you're eating. Milo (pronounced My low) is awesome sprinkled over vanilla or toffee ice cream. I don't really like drinking or except for as a thick milkshake but my girlfriend always keeps a tin around in winter as a warm drink. When I'm making a mug for her, I'll usually eat a spoonful straight from the tin but when I'm really craving something sweet I'll mix up 2 parts Milo to one part Condensed milk 🤤 Condensed milk is just amazing though.

I haven’t even watched the video yet in its entirety, but right off the bat I’ve to mention how flawless your eyeliner looks! Work it sis!

Milo is great on vanilla ice-cream. You can even mix it in like a soft serve. Yum

Instant coffee on oatmeal is the best. It wakes you and makes your stomach full an all in one meal.

finally the one I've been waiting for, i bought bags of oats for this lmao

@@BerylShereshewsky Lately I'm into savory oats, usually i just make it sweet tho... gonna make more savory oats for now on 💪💪 thanks for the idea

I make steel-cut oats from scratch with quinoa and flaxseed meal, plating with a teaspoon each of turmeric and cinnamon, topped with a quarter cup of blueberries, a heaping tablespoon of plain Greek yogurt and some local honey. Sometimes I substitute maple syrup for the honey and milk instead of the yogurt. I do another variation with ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, berries and maple syrup. I have oatmeal for breakfast every day when I'm home and have for decades.

I know everyone apparently wants to watch you eat these dishes, but I LOVE the little individual tablescapes you make for each dish. So cute and charming!

I enjoy all of your content...but these especially make trying different things accessable to more people.

Beryl, we pronounce it My-lo here in Maldives! Was weird to hear your pronunciation! Wonder which is the actual correct pronunciation now haha

Yes "my low"... the good Aussie drink. It can be spoons over anything... ice cream, cake frosting, fruit such as bananas... we usually eat it by the spoonful here in Australia. I love it on semolina (cooked like porridge but instead of oats I use semolina) just sprinkled over the top.

Same like Beryl here from Indonesia 😁

from Kentucky and I go with fried spam cubes and an egg, caramelized onions, seared grape tomatoes, steamed bok choy, sometimes topped with some kimchi, sweet soy sauce, and chili crunch oil! Super filling and good for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Your Videos are like little ray of sunshine! ☀️ they are so much more than just about food!! ❤️

I'm not an oatmeal fan, I've tried a couple times but it felt too heavy for me... I'm willing to try one more time though, these toppings ideas look so good! Do you guys cook it just with water?

How interesting to hear someone describe oatmeal as heavy, as I always think of it as something very light and easily digestible :D. My mother would use milk and water, but I personally like to only use water :) I like to add raisins while cooking, so they become nice and plump :)

@@Ginatus oats are good for sensitive stomachs but they are calorie dense, so if you eat a large amount of them, it feels heavy on the stomach. Also it keeps you full for a longer time

I prefer an overnight soak in the ref so it doesn't become gummy and pasty. Liquid can be anything you like even yogurt or juice.

I didn't used to be a fan either, I also thought they were heavy. I use either milk or water to cook them. I also find I prefer old-fashioned or steel cut oats rather than the quick cooking or instant varieties. The oats are bigger and in my opinion taste better. I do not like them when they look the way Beryl has them in this video (I think she used one of the quicker cooking varieties).

NOBODY in Finland puts salmon on their oatmeal porrage! NOBODY! We eat our oatmeal porrage with a "butter eye", or with some milk, or with some fresh or frozen berries. That dude had no idea about eating oatmeal in Finland!

I prefer my oatmeal savory as well. I use steel cut oats and make them with broth and add meat and vegetables topped with shredded sharp cheddar.

Hi from Germany. My grandpa used to make oatmeal for us two every morning Monday to Friday before I’d left for school. He’d cooked it in half water and half milk. Toppings depended on the season . Fresh berries and fruits from the garden /a piece of butter, sugar and cinnamon / sugar and grated old mans dark chocolate / butter and salt / leftover fruits dessert (fruits from the garden just boiled up with some water and sometimes a bit sugar) / preserved blueberries we’d collect in the forrest (they are boiled up with some water and sugar and preserved in jars) / elderflower blossom Sirup (Sirup made with mint, limes and citrons) / elderflowersoup from the berries/ different kinds of jams…. I wish I could try savory ones with him nowadays. He would have liked them as well.

Even though I'm from Finland, I've never used fish or pickles on porridge, I usually add margarine or berries and sugar or berry soup on top of it. And some oat meals require berries in their recipe, such as whipped lingonberry porridge called "vispipuuro" where lingonberries are part of the porridge recipe.

Aussie kids grow up on Milo (pronounced My-low) ...my favourite way other then eating by the spoonful directly from the tin, is sprinkled (heavily) over vanilla icecream. The correct ratio for a milk drink is at least 4 heaped tablespoons to the cup of milk.

I really miss watching how you did these videos before. Seeing you cook and then experiencing it all while tasting the different dishes was really wonderful to watch…. I always say “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it. ❤️ I hope you go back to those types of videos

Oh my god. This video blows my mind! A lot of these look great! Other than Quaker flavours my family only add a tsp of light brow sugar, sprinkle of nutmeg, and a little milk

I’m addicted to watching this channel… I love watching how people make food around the world !!

Great video! I think it is not so much that people want to view you eating, but rather watching your reactions and mostly, your description of the food. You are VERY descriptive and sometimes I can almost taste what you are eating! That is the joy of watching you taste the foods that you present!! You always do such a great job!!

I have a couple of sweet oatmeal versions I normally make. One is raspberry and choc: I cook the oats in soy milk (to make it creamier than just being made with water) and add cocoa powder and a little sugar to sweeten. I stir in chia seeds and finally frozen raspberries towards the end so they soften but don’t cook. The tartness of the raspberries balance out the rich cocoa oats. The other is a Persian inspired version. I cook oats in soy milk again, add a splash of rose water and some chia seeds. Then serve sprinkled with brown sugar, chopped pistachios and sliced figs and strawberries. You can do any fruit combo though, like banana, peaches or mango.

I was feeling really frustrated and anxious, but the relaxing and happy mood of this video really helped me to feel better.

In the Dominican Republic, we drink oatmeal with a melted cocoa bar, cinnamon stick, cloves, vanilla and evaporated and whole milk. The milk is thick and the oats are kind of thin or mashed. It tastes so good and we eat it with a slice of toast with butter and occasionally dip it. The spices are boiled together in water to get the flavor.

This reminds me of when I first started babysitting my niece and nephew and they kept asking for something before bed so I actually ended up inventing an oatmeal that they loved and ask for to this day 6 years later. It is called chocolate oatmeal and you just cook the oats in milk with a couple spoonfuls of hot cocoa powder then once it’s cooked just add some chocolate sauce and mix in some hazelnut coffee creamer and it’s done. It is really good although not the healthiest.

My childhood oatmeal, which my Dad introduced me to, is also choco oatmeal. But I add baking cocoa and then sugar - the good thing about this way is that you can add as much/less sugar as you want or use other sweeteners like honey or agave sirup (its an amazing sweetener) if you avoid sugar. I usually mix the oats, cocoa and sweetener, add milk and just heat it in the microwave for 1 minute or so. Easy breakfast in winter!

I do oat bran as a porridge cooked with diced apple while cooking, then add toasted pecans then a bit of maple syrup or honey. It’s so good. Another way is using steel cut oats with butter and maple syrup or Demerara sugar. So good. Both can be with a bit of milk or cream too. I love hot cereals. Any starch like oats, barley, brans, or farina work with both recipes,

Excited for this! I made the BEST baked oats almost every day. I put plant milk, yogurt, coconut oil or butter, spices, salt, raisins, fruit (like apple, blueberries, cherries) nuts and hempseeds and nut butter layered in the middle. Bake in a muffin liner for 14 min at 400. 👌🏼

Why do these videos make me tear up? Like the vibe of connection feels touching...

I really loved all the different ideas, I am pretty l Iost. Please know we love your videos because of the charm and personal input you bring. I found these hard to follow. It's fun to see all of these different variations. Please don't think it annoys us to to have more than one episode for one ingredient. I understand if these were better served in a faster format. I just don't want you to think we need this page always to be pleased. ♡♡♡ Your slow trek through the dishes helps us study howv the items all come together and we love seeing all the different art backgrounds. This was so fast pace, I don't remember if you had an artist. Thank you so much for bringing back your tasting if the dishes. It gives us a wrap up & a personal account of which parts were difficult or different. My kids were very sad that there wasn't a tasting this time. They look forward to seeing what Beryl thinks! We are definitely going to try hot cocoa oats! This was so fun!
