A Filipino & A Kosovan Swap Meals For A Day 

Eyyy! This was so fun, hopefully I did the Filipino cuisine justice! Godfrey you smashed it my brother

I am super impressed by the amount of effort on both sides-- actually having the correct niche ingredients, soaking beans overnight, buying a makeshift grill, etc. I've seen other buzzfeed swaps be poorly attempted, so this was such a joy to watch

Shoutout to Lirim on showing me delicious Kosovan food! Need to see if I can re-do my Llokumas and cook them better.

My choir director was Filipino, he’s one of the most influential people in my life. And he used to bring those spring rolls with plantains and jackfruits. They were so freaking good. This brings back some good memories ❤

You nailed the bbq skewers thats how it really looks like in our neighborhood selling BBQs.

He did so well with the caramel not being too thick and you can just tell with the color of the bbq that it's peefect. Tip though you could dip it into spicy white vinegar that would add more flavor aside from it being sweet n salty👍

My family’s secret for the bbq pork skewers are sprite or coke. Trust me, your pork gets tenderized and the sugar in the coke reduces additional sugar you’ll put in it. Don’t waste the marinade btw. Let that boil for a few minutes until it’s almost sticky. Put more ketchup, soy sauce, sugar, and put oil at the end and mix. Taste it and that will be the sauce you’ll brush on your skewers!

I am from the Caribbean Islands and I love making Turon, we, or I was thought (taught) to make it differently, but same result of yummy-ness (ripe jackfruit, ripe plantains) slice it not too thick or thin, sliced the jackfruit as well the same in cuts. Make homemade spring dough, (store bought is okay, but nothing beats homemade, no additives preservatives added) lol Since both plantain and jackfruit are ripe and sweet, especially with its natural sugary juices embedded in each fruit, thus when combined in the springroll wrap and deep fried those bad bouy are yummy juices on the taste buds and the texture of the dough that envelops the fruit meats are yummy yummy for the tummy tum, lol. In addition, a scotch bonnet peppers aioli dip sauce and or duck sauce can be an added side dish for dipping the Turon Add a tall glass of wash (lemonade, or sour oranges lemonade, ginger juice for that nice tingle feel in the throat) Now my mouth is watering and luckily I have some jackfruit in the freezer and trust the home always have plantains, both green and ripe ones always available, we eat plantains with everything and make it differently in many other dishes, such as green plantains grated and make porridge (oatmeal) using coconut milk, and other spices like nutmeg, vanilla bean and extract for flavor town on the buds, .... Cheers!

Omg I love turon!! They sell it here in Singapore and it’s so sinful! The world needs more turon awareness tbh

It’s great how much respect and admiration they express for each other‘s food

All the dishes from both countries looked delicious 🤤

The first time I tried Turon and Philippono BBQ was when I was in Guam with my mom. I remember calling it banana lumpia when looking it the day. They looked the same anyway

Oh my god, I saw the Ajvar and my mouth instantly watered. I’m also Filipino who happens to love Balkan foods. My adoptive mamo makes Ajvar and she ships it to me through my friend during winter.

7-Up (or Sprite): the secret ingredient in some Filipino dishes haha

It all looks so delicious!!!

omg i love this ! such a lit posiyive idea and the food all looed so good, im trying it all!!

I’m waiting for Indonesian and Malaysian mums trying each other’s food.

Do you have the recipes posted somewhere? Everything looks SO good!

Your barbeque looks legit damn

Love that you guys loved each others food. Result!

All I want to say is I'm American but I gotta say that dinner for Godfrey reminds me of a treat I get at the local Mexican restaurant called charro beans and is basically a stew or soup with beans and chorizo and it's my go to with my regular order in the summer of fish tacos and rice but where it shines is on a dang cold winters day here... It was traditionally said to be a Mexican cowboy stew and I always try to order some to replace the refried beans and it never once disappointed me... Just wanted to say it brought back good memories of the people down there at the Mexican place and I hope it was just as good as it looked cause imo it looked great and dang dare I say stunning with the meat of choice

Looked so good I had to subscribe. Looking forward to more of this type of content!

I love these, they’re so beautiful and educational!

Wow I'm very impressed for this guy who made my favorite turon. Great job man 👍

wasted opportunity for him to try the pork skewers with a mixture of vinegar and chopped onion, garlic, some bird's eye chili seasoned with salt and pepper. it's just divine combination.

Me being an Asian: "That Pasul and Sudjuk needs to be paired with RICE"😂 It really looks delicious. Edit: This is my first time to get this much LIKES. Thank you guys 😁

That’s nice, Food is Life, to share the thoughts and ingredients, something deferent...lovely❤❤❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇬🇧🇬🇧

Pasul reminds me of Filipino (Ilonggo) fabada. Most Filipinos aren't even familiar we have a similar white bean dish from Spanish influence.

I visited Kosovo a few years ago, and I LOOOOOOVED it! Omg---the food is so good, and the prices can NOT be beat!

FYI: Turon are traditionally/more specifically made with Saba bananas (different type of sweet plantains)

I love this so much! They both seem so supportive of one another. Nice to see them not knocking the other country like in some videos I've seen. ❤️

More of it please! Like make it every week 🙏🙏🙏

Food looked great, you guys are fun to watch

Pasul is like the Spanish Fabada. Since we were a former colony, we kinda make those too with morcilla (spanish blood sausage), pork belly, and pimenton dulce (paprika), lots of onions and garlic and olive oil. YUM.

i’d like to eat the pasul and sujuk in rainy days, it just seems a warm comfort while rain is pouring

Great content!

Awesome job guys

Awesome video!

Oh wow those food looks delicious.

That bbq looking legit amd tasty😍😍😍😍im craving for one now ahhh Nd it's midnighttt here haha

Thanks for sharing. 😀

Great idea for a show! Swapping cultures

Godfrey definitely had to ask mummy for these recipes

I saved this video for that kosovan donut recipe. Thank you for sharing

that bbq looked awesome. While cooking the Plantain springrolls, you need to add brown sugar to the oil to carmelize and cover the turon.

Good job guys! Let me know if you want to know some tips and tricks for the perfect beans! 😁😁😁 I make this almost every week, it's a staple dish in Bulgaria.

I’ll try the llokuma at home since we always have those ingredients at home. And for a twist, I’ll probably mix it with the same cooking plantain (saba) that we use for the turon haha coz it reminds me a bit of our maruya but this will definitely be a better version.

All four dishes showcased on this vid looks very tasty.

Everything here looked awesome

I love ittt 💗😍

You know a delicious barbecue when you eat it without the sauce.

reallly looks delicious❤❤

We have llokuma in Southern Africa, they are called mgwinya in Lesotho and South Africa, mafat cooks in Zimbabwe, I think Nigerians call them puff puff, those are just some of the names and countries I know of, but I know they are all over the continent. Just seen the full video, they look exactly the same, but the ingredients differ, no eggs or yogurt added, but we use sugar.

Suggestion next time you marinate any filipino barbecue, marinate it overnight or 24 hours. You will love it more

I've been to Kosovo a few times and the cuisine is great.

I'm salivating, that basul and sudjuk look really sumptuous

Filipino food is Amazing! I lived there for 8 years and so miss the food. Some I can cook. I made arroz caldo for my neighbor and she said “how did you make this??

This is good, cultural diversity, acceptance and transfer of knowledge.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Subscribed!🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 He cooked the Filipino turon perfectly.

Here for it

omg yumyumyum 😍

Ty for trying our food❤❤❤

I seriously need them to start sharing the full recipes at the end. I'm excited to try it all, but don't want to screw anything up 😂

Wow! 😍

Fyi, plantain is not the main ingredient in turon. It's actually a variety of banana in the Philippines known as saba that is used. But since the saba is not commonly found elsewhere, most use plantains instead. Saba is not plantain.

Trying those pork skewers, look Banging

New subscribers here from Philippines 🇵🇭

Are there somewhere measurements for the pork bbq? :)

damn lads, you got me super hungry as I finish up work.

Now im hungry…. I wanna try the Kosovan breakfast and that bbq

Nice!

Wow happy to see u liked Kosovan Lokuma and Pasul soup I love it so much 😂🥰😍🇽🇰🇵🇭

Love these food swaps so interesting 🙂

I'm Jamaican and I love tasting other people culture through food I definitely am going to try these at home both cultures they BOTH look delicious 😋 ❤ Please give the recipes in detail so we can try them in our kitchens❤

That pazul look so good with rice

Buzzfeeduk can you please do , British people try each others scones !?! Love your stuff from Australia

I'm from the Philippines born and grew up ang still living here and I just want to point out that we never have turon for breakfast (we have turon for meryenda it's the Filipino word for light afternoon snack. For Filipino breakfast you could have chosen from any of the variety of silogs. The "silogs" define the quintessential Filipino breakfast. "Silogs", a portmanteau of the words "sinangag (Filipino styled fried rice) and " itlog" (fried egg, The variety of the Filipino "silog" breakfast includes TAPSILOG = tapa (Filipino styled fried or cured beef) TOCILOG = tocino (Filipino sweet cured ham LONGSILOG = Longganisa (Filipino styled Spanish sausage) BANGSILOG = Bangus (Filipino fried milk fish) plus many more silogs like danggit, hotdog, fried chicken The common or the uniting theme to all these Filipino breakfast would therefore be the fried rice and the fried egg. SI = sinangag (Filipino styled fried rice) LOG = Fried egg either styled in sunny side up, scrambled, over easy.

Those barbeques is missing some vinegar dip~ with onions, garlic, chili with a bit brown sugar~

Oh my, I am Greek and lokumas are also a staple here (we call them loukoumades) We have them at fairs or after a festive meal for dessert with honey or any other type of sweet drizzle (such as chocolate sauce) but I've never thought of having savoury lokumas (with ajvar and feta cheese)! This is life changing!

My mom usually coats the outside of turon with sugar again so its got this caramel cover. Real sweet turon.

Usually bbq glaze is just a ketchup and any type of cooking oil Then some use the left over marinade to spread it while roasting it on the charcoal And the marinade varies from home to home But the base is ketchup soy and pepper Some puts kalamansi (lemon will do as well), oyster sauce some hoisin some puts Sugar or honey or mascuvado For the sauce usually it is dip in vinegar with shallots for spicy version put some Thai chilli

We have a similar dish with the beans, i don't know what's the official name of it but we put beans, chorizo, pork and cabbage then the sauce is vinegar mixed with olive oil and salt.

the turon can be plain lile that or add some brown sugar to caramilized the wrap for more flavor. but yours did good too looks bomb

straight up ate the casing on the sudzuk like a boss! Must have been hard to chew x)

I want to try the Kosovo food. Amazing video!

Good job

pasul aka "bechuelas" here in our region in the Philippines. :)

I wanna try that bean dish.

Looks delicious

Lokum, fasulye and sucuk are also traditional Turkish meals. Love them all. Awesome stuff.

I don't eat pork, but those BBQ pork skewers looks so delicious! 🤤

I got hungry! 😩

Every culture has a fried dough😋

Filipinos don't eat turon for breakfast. That's either a dessert or a mid afternoon snack. A real breakfast from the Philippines would be garlic fried rice with an over easy egg together with some protein (beef tapa, pork longganisa, pork tocino, fried milkfish). That's called "tapsilog, porksilog, longsilog, bangsilog. There are other variations, but that is typically what breakfast is.

Can you then opt to put Nutella as FILLINGS before frying?

Hold up....plantain spring roll???!!!! Backside and me want some!!!!!!!!

Turon is not your typical Filipino breakfast but hey! No one is stopping you.

Ngl I love Lirim's voice

why no sugar for the turon.. you have to dip in sugar the plantain before wrapping

Hello if you like the egg rolls tried them with Dominican tropical fried cheese an you will need to get yellow plantain almost going dark does are the sweetest one my son loves them for breakfast or dinner he loves eating does a lot
