    After watching this, I had to go out and buy strawberries and cottage cheese to make the Lithuanian toast. We're having it for breakfast tomorrow and I'm so excited to try it!

    So Pol Sambol is less of a chutney, but more so meant to be like spicy, tangy fresh sambol (chopped salad type condiment thing). So you should really try making some fresh pol sambol at home if you are able to find dessicate/grated fresh coconut. The other ingredients are lime, chilli powder, tomatoes, and maldive fish flakes. Simply mix all the ingredients together. The fresh version is worlds better than the canned version.

    Never seen sambal in a can, so that's interesting! Sambal is also really good with dosai, roti (aka paratha), and especially idyappam (string hoppers) with coconut milk sothi 😊

    Ok here's a suggestion try finding Kaymak … milk products from the Balkan since you love cheese. Usually it is consumed with ćevapi, raw onion and somun/bread .

    Hi Beryl I'm from Sri Lanka 🙋🙋 I agree with all the comments that we enjoy pol sambol with rice and eggs, I recommend rice ,pol sambol , fried papadam, fish ambul tiyal or chicken curry…. Or just pol sambol with buttered cream crackers…. I personally enjoy eat pol sambol with anything we'll be excited the whole day if we smell it … Pol sambol is a dish that will make any Sri Lankan jump up in Joy 😹 I have tried pol sambol with pasta , biscuit, noodles, boiled potatoes, boiled cassava, pol roti , Jack fruit, hoppers, string hoppers, boiled chickpeas,pitu….I recommend trying pol sambol with anything as it compliments anything so well making it a fusion dish that varies from person to person… Beryl let's do a Sri Lankan menu one day … 😊😊😊 Take care 😘

    Fermented soybeans look very tasty to me. The texture looks like it would be good with like it would be good with nutritional yeast for like a vegan cheesey option? Idk it looks like something I would enjoy. Also seems like it would be good with kombucha just for an all around fermented dish

    As a Chinese Cambodian Australian living in Japan (oof that’s a mouthful), the smell of natto is like nothing to me. Fish sauce is like perfume to me. It’s the texture that gets me. I do find it a lot of work to eat it. I do love that in Japanese they have a word to explain the texture of it which the Japanese say as “neba neba (ネバネバ)”. Putting how I feel about natto, I do think everyone should try natto. I might not like it, but maybe you will.

    So happy you liked the sardine salad toast!! Dicing the onions may be more carpet safe though lol (also if you ever do a canned or shelf stable fish/meat episode I do I have a salt cod fish salad up my sleeve that is more traditional)

    Hey Beryl. I'm from Sri Lanka. Pol Sambol is a common side dish goes well with many food items. Rice, pol sambol and bunch of more side dishes is a common combination. Pol sambol with un-toasted bread is too a well known combination. String hoppers, coconut milk gravy and pol sambol is a favorite combination of many of us Sri Lankans.

    Oo! The cottage cheese toast! I've been vegan for about 5 years and cottage cheese is one of the animal foods I miss. I ate cottage cheese all the time and frequently had it with cinnamon sugar on toast. If I could eat soy, I guess crumbled tofu might be a sub.

    I LOVE natto but I understand why most non-Japanese would struggle (I'm European btw). It's definitely an acquired taste and I think it helps if you're used to Japanese cuisine tastes by the time you try it the first time. I usually have it as a simple dinner or as part of a Japanese style brunch-breakfast with rice, nori and lots of kewpie. I also recommend using the included seasonings first (tare and mustard) and then experimenting with others: kimchi, cheese, raw egg yolk etc etc 😁
    PS: also strawberries on toast are always a good idea, and I can see the cottage cheese pairing really well with them. They're in season now so gonna try it!
    PS2: also also, that toast from Barbados (yum!) you could easily find/make in Spain and Portugal no problem. I'm pretty sure I've had something 90% like it before hehe

    Good morning, Beryl! I see you eating all of these wonderful foods and it is amazing. However, I see an episode like this where you're doing toast, or some other dish involving bread and you're eating… loaf bread. Please understand, I ate it exclusively until a couple of years ago when my husband developed diabetes. He could no longer eat it and we had to switch to fresh breads instead. Then we found the No-Knead Crusty Artisan Bread. The recipe is on The Comfort of Cooking website (I imagine you wouldn't follow a link so I didn't include it.) It's sooooo ridiculously easy to make and so much more satisfying, and better for you, than bagged loaf bread. I do hope you try it at least once! Have a great day!

    The texture of eggs and cottage cheese turns me off, not so much on the flavor. The texture of coconut is a similar way but because of the flavor of coconut is so appealing to me it helps me power through the texture of coconut, especially if it’s sweet

    I love Natto. I describe the consistency similar to Okra? The smell and flavor I don’t find off putting, I don’t know why they always say that. I think we have become more comfortable with fermented foods. The flavor is just beanie 🙂

    The strawberry toast is similar to something I make for breakfast sometimes. It's premade waffles with cream cheese and strawberries. It's basically a strawberry cheesecake 😀 sure it's much less "healthy" but it's really yummy!

    Hi everyone! Beryl, I think you have tried one famous post Soviet Union toast. You put garlicky mayo (just add fresh garlic to your favourite one) and top it up with smoked sardines "SHPROTY" , cut of a fresh cucumber and little bit of dil for beauty. Simple, old school and tasty with anything, especially with vodka .

    I live in Australia but my family is Sri Lankan and we always have pol Sambol (and other traditional Sri Lankan foods) at Christmas along with ham and turkey so for the days following Christmas we always have the leftover turkey and ham with pol Sambol on a white bread roll with butter. Sooooo good!

    For you cottage cheese lovers like me, I like to mix up a bowl of cottage cheese with a variety of things. Usually just one ingredient at a time, but blueberries and cottage cheese are delicious, so are strawberries, and even chopped up avocado. I also like to sprinkle a little salt to cut through the fat and just have the bowl as a snack when I'm too lazy to cook and it's too hot to pretend I have the energy to do so.
