      @dutchdykefinger Місяць тому

      they are different, sultanas are light colored "raisins", "krenten" are darker and generally come from corinth grapes rather than sultana grapes there's quite some subtle difference in understanding of raisins/sultanas between even english speakers, and i'm not sure what terminology to use here, hence the extra quotation marks :D in austraila they tend to call sultanas, what in the USA they call raisins, and appears to be used more as the collective name for several grapes rather than specifically menaing sultanas alone., currants seems to be a name used for them too, i can find "corinth grape currants" for sale on the internet. i don't exactly know what constitutes a currant, but if it goes by the rules of what the english call "pudding", then almost everything is a currant lol

    • @ToinesKitchen

There are so many ways to cooke the perfect gehakbal, I cooke the balls in a bouillon and a little Kikkoman sojasaus, this also makes a wonderfull tasting sauce. This is called a "Jordanese gehaktball" there is a video on youtube with another Dutch chef. Greetings from the Netherlands.Ps misschien moet je ook eens een stoofpotje introduceren is ook altijd een toppper.
