Whole Goat Stew in Africa!! VILLAGE FOOD in Senegal - Best Senegalese Food!!

SENEGAL, WEST AFRICA - Today we are in a small village to meet Musa and his family for their Eid al-Adha celebration. They are preparing a whole goat that will be fried to go with rice, and stewed to go with Senegalese style couscous. It’s an honor to be here and I can’t wait to share all of the delicious food with you!

Welcome to a small village, not too far away from Joal Fadiout in central Senegal, West Africa. Musa and his family kindly invited us to their home for an amazing Eid al-Adha celebration. First we began with a unique breakfast porridge that was made from millet flour, kneaded into small pellets and sprinkled into hot water. The result was a delicious porridge that you eat with homemade sweet yogurt.

For lunch, the family prepared two Senegalese foods, a platter of rice with fried goat, and a platter of millet couscous with tomato goat stew. For both dishes many of the same ingredients were used - tons of onions and garlic, green onions, chilies, black pepper, tomatoes. Seasonings and ingredients were pounded into a paste and the fresh goat was marinated. The rice was cooked in the oil and broth of the goat. For the couscous it was quite a unique process, steaming, then mixing with baobab sap and baobab leaves, then steaming again. The result was an almost fluffy sandy texture. The couscous with the fresh goat meat tomato stew was a highlight. So good, and cooked with so much love!

It was an amazing day of village cooking Senegalese food in rural Senegal! The food and hospitality was unforgettable.

The fact that Mark’s son is eating with them is dope. That young man is learning so much more in life than a classroom can ever do for him

[Jiggalo]

The way Mussa is dropping pieces of the goat on Mark's side of the plate is the ultimate sign of love and hospitality in Africa. Well done to my Senegalese people!

What a beautiful people I love you all Senegal people from Sudan 🇸🇩🇸🇳

[lisa_and_christian]

Micka's little voice in the background: "I could eat this everyday!". cute!

[stephcarlofc]

This is why I got mad respect for people like Mark Wiens. He's just one of those people that he has genuine love for all cultures no matter where they come from. This man doesn't have a hatred bone in his body. He seems like one of the most humble, genuine, down-to-earth people you could ever meet. And Senegalese food is one of the most underated solid cuisines in the world!! Man I need to try some!! 🇸🇳🇸🇳

[aroojsaeed]

The generosity and humbleness of this african family is unbelievable ❤️❤️❤️

[byir]

It’s the son saying “I can eat it everyday”. Mark is really raising him to understand and love different food and cultures. Love it!!

[ahmadabdelrahim]

Call me crazy, but I don’t watch this channel for the food. I watch it for the wholesome human connections you make with all different kinds of people. I am most envious of this opportunity to be apart of peoples lives. Keep up the good work.

I love the hospitality of those senegalese families Allah bless them 💫

[MrBellicosta]

Bro Micah being excited and saying “I could eat this everyday!” Absolutely made my day, the purity and honesty of our youth is unmatched!

[GarnetPouye]

Mark, you went beyond where most Senegalese urbans limit themselves too. Your guide Pape is excellent!
I'm so proud to see you made through the deepest parts of my country.
Now I'm jealous seating here in New York :(
Well done

[tandint.t]

this is not just a food review video, its a educational video where it teaches us how people can be happy in rural with very little to have and how strong their cultures are. Thanks Mark.

As a Jamaican, I feel a sense of pride watching people from my homeland, sharing our beautiful culture and cuisine. Mark, that your son is there with you, sharing the experience, demonstrates your true love for food and the things that we are share as humans. Continue to share the love.. For all cultures.. Respect bro...

[khadjaissa]

[noreenknight]

I love how these women take their time and work together, as well as you can see the love when they make food . Not rushed and making sure its done great. Love this

[redgoldgreen]

This is why, as a Jamaican, I really love Africa, especially West AFRICANS. Why? Because most of the food they eat is 100 percent organic, no GMO. They have different kinds of veggies and fruit. This is beautiful African culture, they eat together as One people, family is very big deal in Africa, especially West Africa, no separation, no discrimination, no processing food.

[christianhowarth]

I love how the elders pick the choice bits and offer it to the children. Also, what a treat for the boy to eat from the elder's bowl!

[vom_id]

this family is so wealthy.. I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about how they enjoy life and the warm of family

[lilmaliplaya]

You know it's delicious when Mika says he can eat this everyday.. I so want to go to Senegal now and try this

[daverichardson]

Your son saying I could eat this everyday made my day! Keep up the great food adventures brother.
