@nativeflower85 6 лет назад

slickeddy2000 i once cooked with my abuela, and it did not go as planned. She redid everything 🤣. Was making meatballs, apparently there is a way to roll it too little and too much. So I would finish with one, she would redo it, everytime. Hahaha my abuela did not have any patience with my 0 cooking skills.

@slickeddy2000 6 лет назад

@BUMKID622 6 лет назад

omg, this like legit made me cry! when Eli was talking to his grandma at the end and it sounded like she got emotional and called him Papito and Papa, that's love right there. Puerto Rican older moms and grannys are a hot mess of emotions for their kids and always try to make sure they are well-fed, which means over-fed LOL but that's their way of taking care of the family. Eli you did such a great job, she was so proud of you and i'm really proud to call you a fellow Boricua! now go learn some Spanish;)

@slugotv7781 6 лет назад

I LOVE Eli and Maya bc I relate to them so much! Like I'm Puerto Rican but I'm 3rd generation so I can't speak it but grew up with the culture (both parents are puerto rican) and I always feel less than by everyone. It's nice to know I'm not alone. It's also nice to see other Latinos support 100% both Maya and Eli.

@MiVidaBellisima 6 лет назад

SlugoTV just learn I don't get it. I didn't grow up with my dad and I still made it a priority to learn bc it's my culture.

@RottedDollface 6 лет назад

SlugoTV don't ever feel less. You are just as much Boricua like those on the island. Believe me I was born on the island, and when I came to America I used to think that way, like oh they're not Boricua enough!! But thats bullshit, thankfully I grew out of that mentality, and know that no matter where you're born, if you're BORICUA YOU'RE BORICUA!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷💞💞🌹🌹

@bookish.calirican 6 лет назад

Lol Iván was being too hard on him for not rolling his R's when pronouncing arroz. Puerto Ricans often don't pronounce the R's in words anyways! 😂 I know my abuela calls it 'ahoz' and it's adorable af.

@litawantstosing 6 лет назад

cocola chulisnaqui what ive noticed is that we roll them like there's no tomorrow when they start the word like "Rico" but we turn them into L's when they're at the end like "amor" or "estar". Of course, if we're aware about it like at a presentation or an interview, we do pronounce them correctly. It happens mostly when you're being colloquial or speaking faster than usual 😂

@CharletteG 6 лет назад

cocola chulisnaqui i would disagree ppl from the Island pronounce the Rs unless they talk more urban or are raised in the USA I’m from the Island and I hardly know anyone who doesn’t pronounce their Rs

@bookish.calirican 6 лет назад

Christine P. It could very well be a quirk within my immediate family and our social group! I'm not saying we never do, just meant to point out that we often don't pronounce it clearly in certain words.

@mariposaorofusionfoodchann7573 6 лет назад

I noticed that while listening to Puerto Rican Salsa, that y'all don't roll your 'R's' like the Cubans, Panamanians and Dominicans do.. Just like The Canary Island Spaniards.. Sometimes it's hard to differentiate what the words mean.. for example the word Arroz becomes Arrro.. No pronunciation of the 'z'.

@xxcruiserlove26xx 6 лет назад

yeah like instead of saying carro by rolling the r’s my family says it like ca-hoh (its not a soft sound tho). its so hard to spell out and describe idk but yeah we dont really use the r’s 😂 maybe its a Ponce thing idk 🤷🏽‍♀️

@Emily.m147 6 лет назад

“You can get it...not like that.” yes like that!! ;)

@carmenc4926 6 лет назад

Sophie Ruiz that’s the only rice my mom used (extra long grain rice). She was cooking for her whole family since the age of 6. It’s the only type I know how to cook with too.

@marilynsanchez5834 6 лет назад

I use long rice. And also add coconut milk.

@LeeSerrano 6 лет назад

@DianaGarcia-lb9dl 6 лет назад

Alessandra I. Ruiz I didn't know that bean was a tree..I'm second generation half Puerto Rican and half Guatemalan..the Guatemalan was ingrained more..thanks for teaching me something new!

@mestizaje6 6 лет назад

Peas. which grown on vines not trees but maybe Alessandra's abuelo has a big ass vine that looks like a tree?

@annabellealpar5285 6 лет назад

Mauricio K They don’t grow on vines. It’s more akin to a bush or shrub about 2-4 meters tall

@mestizaje6 6 лет назад

oh I know,. I have a trellace i plant mine in front of so they crawl up it. Looks pretty and it's easier to pick em. I was just confused when you said "Tree" i was like "damn, it must be a massive then"

"waking up to the sound of chickens" THIS IS TRUE AF. My neighbor's chickens and roosters have always made noise but since the hurricane it's been all day activity for the little mofos. You can literally hear them in 70% of my videos. 💀🐓🐓🐓 I LIVE IN THE METRO SO IMAGINE THE COUNTRYSIDE

@annabellealpar5285 6 лет назад

My grandparents were born in Puerto Rico and I can’t speak Spanish. It does make you feel less apart of your culture, but know that if you don’t speak Spanish and you are of some Hispanic heritage, it’s ok. It doesn’t make you less Hispanic.

@goty050 6 лет назад

If you wanna connect with your puertorican heritage you should come to Puerto Rico and experience it from its purest form.

5:57 I'm not Puerto Rican, but I think you have to cover the pan with a lid so the rice can absorb the added water. But looks great!

@ashleyneedstogeta 6 лет назад

I identify with this SO much. 2nd generation mainland Puerto Rican. Spanish is never conjugated correctly. I love my family. My grandmas especially who love our family through their cooking. My maternal grandmother is on a health decline right now. I love her so much and am inspired to try her own arroz con gandules recipe. As someone who doesn’t cook at all, I’m nervous yet EXCITED. Thank you, Pero Like. Thank you, Eli. And thank you Eli’s Grandma.

@ylcampos5 4 года назад

Eli...that's so Awesome!! I'm a Mexi-Rican too, but I was raised and have more of my PR Heritage because I was raised by my Grandma. She shared her rice recipe with me and I have been able to channel her "sazon" I am now teaching my kids to make it. Treasure that recipe, continue to share it with your kids and so forth. The wonderful legacy that will live for generations to come....WEEEPPPAAAA!

@alopez4435 4 года назад

I'm Cuban American and I love arroz con gandules!!! I've made it twice. First time I made it it came out delicious. The second time I made it for potluck at work, well it was good, but I forgot the gandules!!! Lol My coworkers that never had it liked it, but I was disappointed. Be careful with the salt, you don't want to make it too salty. Read the instructions for the amount of water you need to cook the rice.

@ritaofthelions 6 лет назад

This was ADORABLE, esp the end. How many of my Dominicans here also pronounce it "gUandules" like Yulissa?? I also used to help my aunt separate the beans and love gandules, my mom made some for my colombian friend now and she's hooked, it really is like crack ;)

@joseantoniovillatoro4351 6 лет назад

yeah all my Dominican family and friends say guandules and all the Puerto Ricans I know say gandules plus us Dominicans call it moro de guandules and PR arroz con gandules

No adobo on the chuleteas??? Cubito de pollo?? Maybe thats why it needed salt, still looked good!! #commentingdesdelaisla xD

@thejompi 6 лет назад

Yeah, and canola oil doesn't really helps its just a frying oil the pork chops in the rice don't need to be fried since they have been cubed up. Also thyme? Tomillo is not used in Puerto Rican cuisine.

I wish I had a chance to learn to cook my grandmothers food. I was too young when she died. I’d love to be able to make my dad a great Puerto Rican meal. Soak up all you can from your grandma it’s such a gift to have her.

@sweetserinity18 6 лет назад

“Waking up to the sound of chickens” ! I’ve never lived in PR but my moms family does and when I would visit them I experienced the same thing! The first time I took my husband to visit I warned him that there are lots of chickens (and dogs) that roam free. When he saw it for himself he literally couldn’t process it because it’s not the norm in the states lol gotta love the Puerto Rico lifestyle.

@shootstars91 6 лет назад

If you have a good recipe and you are capeable of and have the patience to follow the precise steps, then your food is going to be great! I don't understand people's fear of cooking. You did great, Eli! I hope you get the chance to make it with your grandma.

@dilciaramos8407 6 лет назад

Not latinx but the first time I smoked a pig for my family (with generous help from my grandfather and father) and they liked it was one of the best moments of my life. Being able to do something that is so deeply ingrained in my culture and in my family is one of the things I'm most proud of, so I think I can understand how Eli feels. Great job!

I almost wanted to start crying right at the beginning when he said that his grandma had MS. It is such an awful disease and it’s amazing that your grandma was able to have children and then grandchildren before it was even diagnosed. I was an ice skater until the age of 18 and my coach had MS and it meant that she couldn’t have children or she would have ended up in a wheelchair, even though she would have been an amazing mum. Because of this she kind of became a second mum to her skaters, especially me because our families were so close

I’m a first generation immigrant but I can’t speak Spanish well anymore. I can understand it fully but I suffered from untreated low oxygen levels for long enough that my brain can no longer make the English to Spanish translation verbally. I feel like I’ve lost my “Latina” card because of it but watching you guys makes my heart happy. You are all accepting of each other no matter what language you can speak or can’t speak. I wish I could connect with other Latinos and Latinas the way you guys connect.

Eli your arroz looked very puertorrican!!! I am one and I live in the island... So proud of you!!!, one trick for next time... Measure your rice and use the same amount of water. after the water starts boiling and has started to dry, you lower your heat and cover the pot and let it do it's magic. 10 minutes later, you uncover and "menealo" with a spoon check the rice for doneness and if it's not done cover it for some more minutes... If you want a pastel taste just cover with plantain leaves and then the lid.

I’m 3rd generation Puerto Rican in Hawaii and I didn’t grow up with Spanish although I am learning but I’ve always had my grandma’s arroz con gandules, “Hunto” rice, too me she makes the best and always for a party it’s the staple dish, when cousins come over they say “Did aunty make hunto” and they are elated to hear that she did.

This made me miss my mom so much! I’m 1st generation on the mainland (came here when I was a baby). My mom made sure she taught me how to cook... but my version never comes out quite like hers. She’ll be gone 9 yrs in November and it’s like her love made the food that much more special. Can’t replicate that!
