00:00Store-bought cref singles blue box mac and cheese is not mac and cheese boo.
00:06There's just so many ways to use it. It's so versatile, you know? I love it.
00:12When you bite into a samosa it's like crunchy. And then like the filling is
00:20like in your mouth it's like meat and onion and like curry spices and then you
00:25sprinkle a little bit of lime juice on the top. Hey Natural Color World, it's Nikki and
00:30this is the best ever, the best ever, the best ever Thanksgiving food. The best
00:36ever Thanksgiving food is mac and cheese. The first thing to go at every
00:40Thanksgiving is mac and cheese and you know it. Everybody has leftovers. There's
00:43always cranberry sauce left over. There's always some nasty baked beans left over.
00:47There's always some green beans, always some mustard greens. Nobody ever finished a
00:50pot of mustard greens. You know what they finish first? The mac and cheese. You know
00:54what they go for seconds? The mac and cheese. You know why? Because it is
00:58literally the best tasting side dish for Thanksgiving ever. Mac and cheese is
01:02delicious. You can have like 30 cheeses in there. You can have bacon in there. You
01:06can have broccoli if you want to go a little healthier route. You can do all
01:10kinds of mac and cheese and most of them are good if you know what you're doing.
01:14My favorite Thanksgiving food is stuffing slash dressing. I don't know the
01:19difference between them. Some people call it dressing. Some people call it
01:21stuffing. I call it delicious. Basically you take the most delicious bread you
01:27have. You add, I don't even know like really how to make dressing or stuffing. I
01:31just eat it. But I think you add like a bunch of herbs and spices and whatever
01:36things that make bread taste good and then you bake it. I just feel like stuffing is
01:41an enlightened way to eat bread. You know you take this bread, you improve it, you bake it, and when it comes out of the oven, it's just so like some parts of it are crispy, some parts of it are like soft. You get such a variety of texture.
02:01I am the child of immigrants so like what is Thanksgiving really? I don't really have a
02:06history of like really throwing down for Thanksgiving. Last Thanksgiving I left the
02:11country so it doesn't really mean that much to me. So I would say that my favorite
02:18Thanksgiving food, it's really not a Thanksgiving food because what's Thanksgiving? I just enjoy the holidays in general because it's when my mom stocks up on samosas.
02:29Yes, girl. So samosas are these triangular puff pastry, fried type things that are filled with like meat or vegetables or potatoes. You probably have them at Indian restaurants. My family is Kenyan which is influenced heavily by Indian cuisine. So we eat samosas also. I believe East African samosas are superior. I don't really like potatoes and vegetables in my samosas. Just meat.
02:58Vegan mac and cheese is not mac and cheese. Mac and cheese made with yogurt is not mac and cheese. Mac and cheese that has runny sauce is not mac and cheese. Mac and cheese that doesn't have the bread crumbs on top, that little crust of cheese and bread crumbs that's browned and then you dig in and it's like cheese stringing up. If your mac and cheese don't do that, it's not mac and cheese.
03:19I love mac and cheese because it's comforting. Cheese is the greatest thing we've ever gotten on this planet. Ever. It's better than air. Mac and cheese makes you feel warm and loved. No one's ever mad eating mac and cheese.
03:35No one's ever like, oh, that's too much mac and cheese. If you make your mom a plate and you pile on mac and cheese and you put like a little bit of turkey and a little bit of that other crap that they serve on Thanksgiving, she's not going to be like, oh no, too much mac and cheese. Give me more beans. Nobody's ever asked for more beans.
03:53If you want to do things. If you want to amp it up even further, you take your gravy and you pour it over your dressing and the dressing soaks up the gravy. To me, Thanksgiving is just like various methods of delivering gravy into my body. So stuffing is like the perfect way to do that. And then my favorite thing to do, as if it doesn't get any better, the day after Thanksgiving, you take leftover mashed potatoes.
04:23And then you put turkey in and then you put a little bit of cranberry, just for a little tartness. And then you put the stuffing on top and then you drown it in gravy. And then you put that in the oven and the gravy like soaks all the way down through all of the layers. And then at the top, the stuffing gets like a little bit crispy. And since it's all left over, like it tastes even better than the day before.
04:48I think that's my favorite part about Thanksgiving is the leftovers, honestly. But if I had just to choose one food, it would definitely be the stuffing.
04:56So my mom orders them from this local grandpa who, you know, moved to the States, but he had a restaurant, I think back in Kenya. And so he'd be in the kitchen cooking up some samosas. And we buy a big Ziploc bag of like 50 samosas.
05:14And we just blow through them thanks, man. They are delicious, spicy, flavorful. And I could eat just samosas. I feel like my ideal Thanksgiving dinner would be a bucket of mac and cheese and a pile of samosas.
05:32And I feel like my intestines would hate me, but I would love me. You know what I mean?
05:37I encourage you to, you know, maybe support your local Ethiopian restaurant, your local generically African restaurant, and get you a samosa and see if you like it.
05:48Because I know you will.
