Welcome to Swell! What’s in Your Bowl? 🍲
Stuffed cabbage with rice and meat. It's something my grandmother brought over from Russia, and it's just made my tummy warm. And I loved it. So that's my memory. What's yours? Looking forward to hearing

@AnngieKaye · 0:28
Hi, I'm Anngela. Known as Auntie Ange. Not sure if I'm super new. Got actually about four months here on the app. But my bowl would be full of vanilla ice cream. Okay, so vanilla ice cream in it, but it's mostly filled with rainbow sprinkles. So it's like half ice cream, half sprinkles. So, like the whole like half the container of sprinkles with a little bit of ice cream and yeah, that's what's in my bowl

@Her_Sisu · 1:37
When I do buy it, I'll eat it cold as it comes, but I'll let it sit out on the counter for a couple of maybe about 15 minutes just so that it's not as chilled. And I enjoy rice pudding. So I would fill my bowl with rice pudding and

And so we had a lot of foods growing up that were a little bit more carb heavy, because that's what was cheap, but not unhealthy for us, by any means. And it's something that to this day, I don't make it on my own. My parents make it. Not that I can't. I absolutely can. But there's just something about it that being made by my parents makes it just a little bit more special investigate

@KatisKaos31 · 0:31
So in my empty bowl it would be my daddy's spaghetti. Though his spaghetti recipe is my grandmother's, who is Sally no longer with us and no one can make it like her, of course. But my daddy comes pretty close and always with his garlic bread that he makes and if course, he still makes it and it still takes me back and that's what's in my bowl
Patric Phillips
@patriclane · 1:56
Probably some scrambled eggs with cheese. My dad was a big breakfast cook, so oh, he loved it too. He's like the old Waffle House up in there, except he didn't have a flat top. But anywho yeah, probably that. I mean, I'm a sucker for some cinnamon Toast Crunch as well, with maybe some soy milk or oat milk, preferably. And then let's see what else we got
Mike Lymond
@AllowMe2Explain · 0:41
You. It may sound silly, but I'm going to have to say my bowl contained the classic maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal. When I was a kid, we didn't get it very often, but when we did, it was a special treat. Used to love that stuff. Kind of makes me want to go to the store and get some now. But I don't eat the sugary stuff anymore, so that's my memory. And that's actually one of the good ones

@NewWordOrder · 0:43
Hi, everyone. I'm yvette. Deborah. Awesome question. It's a tough question as well. I would have to narrow my choice down to a coin toss. So the coin at this point would have to determine what goes into my bowl. I definitely know which choices I would choose or select from. One would be Cream of Wheat and one would be Maple. If there was a way that I can get both of them in the bowl, then I would do that

And covered in my family, what we call gravy, which is pasta sauce, what most people would call it, that has been cooked for at least a couple of days and is nice and thick and warm, sticks right to the top of that manicotti. And Christmas time was always the time that my mom made this and we were all able to indulge in it. And just thinking about it makes me warm inside. And

@MissEsMysteries · 1:36
It just hit the spot for me, and it filled me up, and it was cheap, so my mom was happy about that, but it was just so good. Just rice and chicken gravy. That's it. I'm such a weirdo
Alex Girich
@alextherealtor · 1:25
But I thought that was really cool, and I wanted to chime in. I just literally downloaded this platform about ten minutes ago, saw it on Facebook or Instagram. And you know what? I am really digging the concept of it. I think it's really cool. But, yeah, realtor Sarasota, Florida market slowed down, but it's still booming down here. People are still moving in from all over the Northeast coast primarily

Hey. All I am is Lynnfia. So the topic is food. Oh my God. It's my favorite area. I'm also a foodie. So my favorite food item is actually Kerala malabari Dum, Biryani. I don't know. Do you know about that? But you should taste is what? At least one time. It will make you feel amazing. Actually, it will create a blast of taste in your tongue and you can eat how much you want

Cynthia Tha
@CindyB70 · 0:31
Good morning, everyone. My name is Cynthia Berry from Louisiana. Inside my bowl would be seafood gumbo from down south. I'm telling you, it is so refreshing, so warmth. It's good for your body and your soul. If you haven't had a taste of seafood gumbo, you need to come down south and enjoy some of our Cajun culture
Lori Motola
@FreeYourFlow · 1:29
I was listening to this, and I was so kind of mike touched and impressed that the meal that you had, even though you said you grew up without things, the meal that you had is still very special to you. And it reminded me of my grandmother, who, before she moved to the US. Was well, still when she moved to the US

I personally want to know what is in this dish that I'm not going to try to pronounce

@MuZacMan · 0:38
My name is Zach, and I literally just downloaded the application, so I'm happy to see that you guys are offering opportunities for new users to get in and let you hear our voices. I'm excited to get started. My empty bowl would have to be filled with my mom's mashed potatoes. She never it instant. When I was a kid, it was always boiled, peeled, and mashed, and it was just so much comfort that still to this day, I love mashed potatoes
Freda Amorin
@Amorinda · 1:49
Hi, guys. This is Freda Morin from India. Well, I think I cannot think of even one single dish right now which is specific. But, yes, my mom was very good cook, and I think every dish that she prepared was special to me. But, yes, if I have to see that empty bowl full of something, then I think it was poke sorpatel. It is called as poke sorpatel, which is very famous in India. In India. Goa okay
He would ride through our neighborhoods on his bicycle, but on either the front or the back of the bicycle, there would be a makeshift oven where they would be roasting peanuts. Like, they were roasting peanuts on this bicycle. And they were riding around, and they had a little special horn. So we had the luxury at our just hearing that horn come through. We would be able to just run to our gate and buy us some fresh roasted peanuts

@AngelAura28 · 0:47
I hope you can hear me, but I'm Angela and also known as Ange or Angel Aura but I really answer to Ange or Angela I prefer that to Angie I won't ignore you if you call me that you were asking about what I see in the bowl? A food. And I do like food. Kraft, macaroni and cheese. Now get this. Recently I found out from DoorDash you can order the child's meal of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese
Takshvi kaushik
@StoryGlory · 0:20
Hello, everyone. I'm Takshri, and my bowl would be filled with makhnizal and bread. I simply love that Indian dish. It gives me the warmth in my tummy that I want. And it's so buttery and yummy. I mean, I can't even describe it. It's so yummy
Deborah Pardes
@DBPardes · 0:17
Wow. Kim, I have to respond to your journey with the peanut man in Jamaica. It was so beautiful. I get to listen to this every day and hear different stories, and this one just really stole my heart. So thank you so much
You. I absolutely love my grandma's vegetable soup. It's delicious. It has this kind of flavor that's almost warm and toasty. It's delicious. I love it
Anthony Blaq
@HTR79 · 0:51
Hi. I am Anthony Black. And the food I had a cherished memory of was pasta and spaghetti. And that's what I mike to eat when I was a small child that my mother would cook for me. And and I hard talk radio, live in do podcasts on YouTube and Spotify talking about social and political commentary, and that's what I do. And all right
I was a kid, I'm sure I didn't know about it, but it was the one thing I can reflect back on and say, that was it. That made me feel good. And right now, it's just distant memory for now, since it can't be replicated. So there we have it
Brad Elmer
@ChuteDad64 · 0:55
Just something that from what I'm told is strictly a Utah thing. Possibly even a Mormon thing. Anyway, that's what's in my bowl. Kind of makes me happy. I don't like it, but it's fun to talk about it. Have a great day. Bye
It. My ball would be empty, actually, because I had no one such to fill it. I haven't. Elmer been a lot around my grandparents. I was born, brought up in a different country, so got no idea what would be. Theresa actually in my bowl. I guess it would be empty then. And now, as always, it was empty for me
Stephen King
@FeelBetterToday · 0:24
In my bowl would be red hot jello. It's made with red hots strawberry jello and cream cheese. And it is just so delicious. Nobody made it quite like mom. This is Stephen with the feel better today. Come check out my swell
Thérèse Nelson
@blackculinary · 1:34
Hi there. My name is Trace Nelson. I am brand new to Swell, just joined today, and this is a dope question. I think my bowl would be filled with white llama beans braised with some kind of smoked meat over fluffy Carolina gold white rice. And if there was a little side plate or room on the side of bowl, it probably would have a slice of sweetened skillet cornbread
esther
@podcast1038 · 1:21
My mom was a single mom, and she would make what we call noodles, like the old days. Now people have different names. It's just noodles with Mike Pardes cheese on it if you want some pepper. I don't think we had pepper, but with Parmesan cheese, and it just brought me joy. I just love pasta Parmesan cheese to this day. And I'm 45, but that's kind of what's in my bowl today. But I'm glad to be back
Sue Merlino
@SueM · 1:33
And it was just gnocchi or noki or however other people say it. But I call them gnocchis, which are like little potato pastas with an amazing Italian red sauce. And it was so good. And just thinking about it brings back great memories. So I love hearing everybody else's food bowl choices. Some of them actually ring true to me. The maple syrup and brown sugar oatmeal was like the second thing I was going to say, and someone said that also
Therapy Health
@Shmookie · 0:25
I don't know if I'd put it in a bowl, but Mama's French toast? I don't know why it was called that, but it was the leftover bread soaked in oil with American cheese fried in the pan. That brings back so much good memories. Yum, yum
Romita Sahni
@Solicitoussoul · 0:25
Hi, I'm Romita Kurana Sahani and I'm on swell by the name of Solicitor Soul well, I would like to have in my bowl the wheat flour desert that we get from Gurudwara it is actually a divine blessing it's called Karaprashad. It is made out of wheat flour, clarified butter, sugar and double the water and I love it the way my mother makes it
Adarsh Rai
@TheDevilsHorse · 1:00
It's a quick and easy to make. It's made of puff rice cut on onions, tomatoes, tamarind sauce, green chili sauce and the taste just gets into your mouth. It's fantastic. I can have it at any given point of time. The day night you woke me up at 03:00 a.m. In the morning. Give me this. I will not complain. I'm really looking forward to this platform. Thank you so much
sidhant bastia
@sidhantbastia · 0:19
Hey, I am Sidhant Bastia and I am an author. I have just written my novel, A Bad Love Story, which is available on Amazon. And coming onto the bowl, my bowl would be filled with some delicious fried rice with some Sajin's chicken around it
Deborah Goodrich
@Aveura · 2:15
She'd mix it together with some cream sauce, she would make season it, she would mix together and she would put it in a casserole dish and she would top it with her homemade biscuits. And it was so good. And when we no longer got commodities, my mother would still mike this for us, like once or twice a year, because we would be like, hey, we kind of missed your casserole
orrin carter
@Orrin · 0:33
Hey, what's going on? This is Thrse and Orrin. I'm kind of new to the platform, but I guess my bowl would be hot wings. My mother would bake them, put them in a bowl, give us some blue cheese and tell us to have at it. And I really want some wings right now, but, yes, that's me. Thank you, guys. Bye
Amy Walker
@Iamamywalker · 0:20
Hi. My name is Amy Walker. Growing up, I had this Venezuelan babysitter, and she always made me this thing called her name was Evelyn, and she made Evelyn chicken. It's basically just panko breadcrumbs on chicken breast, but it's still a really special and delicious memory of mine
Kenny Reyes
@kreyes29 · 3:48
And then a little bit of olive oil on green leaf lettuce or romaine lettuce without having to have all that nastiness of if you're using ranch or something of that nature. But just the pure essence of just the freshness from the vegetables, tomatoes, lettuce and along accompanied by the rice. It is so, so good. I would bring imabol Puerto Rican rice, aroscon landules
Hi. This is Reverend Franshonn Salter. And thinking back over my childhood and the food that I so enjoyed eating, one of my favorite meals that I would definitely fill the bowl with is homemade mashed potatoes and with brown gravy, a corn sweet corn with butter and meatloaf and maybe some homemade biscuits. That is still my all time favorite meal, even to this day
Odion Azekhuemhen
@Traviss · 0:53
Hi. So what I would have in my empty bowl is actually noodles made by my dad. And what actually made these noodles very unique both to I and my siblings, is that he meade these noodles with a lot of green veggies, a lot of green leaves to Natoes and pepper, which actually made it very delicious. Sometimes he makes it when he's around, but when he's not around, we try to make it as much as he does
Ike Haggins
@Ihaggins · 1:07
Back then, it seemed like the ingredients were just the best ever. I don't know. I was a kid, so they may not have been that great, actually, but back then it was great, and that was my memory. That's what my bowl would be filled with. Pizza hut personal pan pizza. Specifically from the book. It program. Yeah
Robert Hanley
@dustbunny · 0:30
You. Hey, am I doing this right? Anyway, if you guys can hear me, mine would have to be it's kind of bad for you, but it'd be like it was eggo waffles with, like, peanut butter and then strawberries and that real, Ike. Real, real maple syrup from, like, Maine or New Hampshire. Yeah. And I just downloaded this, too. This is great
Carla Harrold
@Love_Is_Kind · 1:04
Hi. This is Carla, and this is my first reply. I just made my swell late this afternoon. And what I see in that bowl is a nice big bowl of goulash, or at least what we called goulash in our house. Growing up, we had a large family, so we had to go on the very economic side. And that was definitely something economical that would go a long ways for us, and so much so that I did the same thing in my household with my children
Kimberly Blu
@Blu · 0:33
In my bowl, I would have Kellogg's Frosty Flakes. We would have it Saturday mornings watching TV with families. So for me, it brings back good childhood memories to just have a bowl of Frosty Flakes and sometimes with bananas chopped inside the bowl with cold milk. So that's a fond memory for me
Penelope Tiam
@IAmJoydeVie · 1:06
Hey, Deborah. This is Penelope. I'm new to the app as of today, and I love this question about what would be in your bowl. A previous memory or childhood memory. So, for me, I am from Guyana, South America, and my family would make a dish called Cookup rice. And it's basically where you take rice, you put some seasonings and fresh herbs, you cook it down in coconut milk
So hello everyone. I have just Dallas well for 1 minute to practice speaking because for me, English is not my model language so therefore I have to practice every day to improve it. And back to the topic, I will fill the bowl with sesame salmon. This is my favorite food and it is also carry a lot of my childhood memories because I usually eat this kind of food with my siblings and cousins and we all have the good time together and for me this is the best food ever
William Wallace
@allears · 0:33
You growing up, man, my favorite bowl was anything I could put sugar on. It was like I was super picky as a kid, and I really didn't have a favorite food. I just loved ice cream. I loved cereal, cream of wheat, anything I could put sugar on. But most of the time when the family would eat dinner, I would get a bowl of cereal instead. It
Hello, Deborah. Hello. Swell family. That was actually a perfect icebreaker, I would have to say. In my bowl is spaghetti the way my mother made it. And just to think back on this topic that you just brought up, it's dear and near and near to my heart. So, again, I thank you. Wow. That's awesome. This is awesome. I actually wasn't sure what to say, what to talk about, stumbling over my words
