Queen of WEST AFRICAN FOOD!! + Mysterious Stilt Dances!! | Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮

Guiglo, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) - After making our way along the Atlantic coast of Côte d’Ivoire, we’re continuing our Ivorian food tour to the north, stopping first for an extraordinary meal in Guiglo, before we continue all the way to Northern Ivory Coast, eating as much local food as we can along the way.

In Guiglo, Côte d’Ivoire we met with the Guéré tribe and Madam cooked us an absolutely incredible meat called Sauce Bawin (cassava leaves sauce) and Sauce Kplé Ba (sticky sauce) - a meal fit for West African royalty! It was impressive and the flavors were unbelievable.

We continued our journey to Touba and to an extremely remote village called Gboola. In Gboola we saw one of the most mysterious and fascinating dances I’ve ever scene, the Ivorian stilt dances. We then had lunch with the community.

Finally to complete this cay we drove to Odienne, in the very northern part of Côte d’Ivoire. There we had some Gnomi (griddle cakes) and a huge meal of Sumbala La-fri - Rice made with eggplant and locust beans.

It was another incredible day of local West African food in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast)!

Mark Weins is light personified. I wish all of humanity were like you. What a wonderful world this would be if people saw humanity in the way that you do.We are one human family and apparently your family gave you that understanding.

THIS IS MY MOTHER’S TRIBE ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE IVORY COAST 🇨🇮. SHE MAKES THOSE DISHES HERE IN THE STATES 🇺🇸 AND BOY LET ME TELL YOU THEY’RE FIRE 🔥. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT IS THAT NO MATTER HOW MUCH OF IT YOU EAT YOU NEVER SEEM TO GAIN WEIGHT.

I don’t know why when I watched Mark ate the donut kind of dessert at the end and all the little kids laugh made me cried. Their little laughs are so innocent and sweet as they watch someone appreciate their favorite food. The way he appreciates everyone’s culture just touches my soul how great of a human he is so humble.❤❤❤

As we go across the country, we learn more about what people eat. From seafood on the coast to tubers in the middle and grains in the north. I want to express my gratitude to Mark for including the cultural dance, which gives the world a glimpse into some of our colorful celebrations as we enjoy delicious food. I am eagerly anticipating the next episode! Stay tuned! Vive la Côte d’Ivoire dans toute sa splendeur 🇨🇮

I appreciate the way Mark is so free flowing with different cultures. Hes not snobbish and uppity showing respect and gratitude to be welcomed into others way of life. A great attribute to have.

[mauriciomendez]

I haven't many videos of people traveling to Africa to eat! Mark bringing its food, culture, and traditions is freshing! The villages show extreme hospitality! I love how they eat together as a community.

[maladee]

When she kept handing Mark more food and his eyes lit up. You can tell she was so proud of herself💕

[MangPablo]

This is so amazing. Seeing someone really imersing himself to fully understand the tradition and culture behind the food. Big respect to Mark.
