Whole Chicken + 10 Onions!! FOOD IN AFRICA - Senegal’s Unbelievable Chicken Yassa!!

SAINT LOUIS, SENEGAL - Today we’re cooking and eating one of the most popular Senegalese foods, known as poulet yassa, or just yassa. It’s a dish of, in this case chicken, with onions and mustard sauce. You’ll find it all over Senegal and all over the world now, but originally from Senegal. It’s an amazing dish, so simple, and yet so tasty. We’re going to see the entire cooking process, and then be able to eat another amazing meal in Senegal, West Africa!

Thank you to Diana for hosting us at her amazing restaurant in old town of Saint Louis. We started with a whole local chicken, cut down and then fried in oil. The chicken was then combined with a huge bucket of onions, mustard, and a bunch of seasoning and and spices and served with rice. Again, poulet yassa is a dish that you’ll find throughout Senegal, it’s one of the most common dishes. I think it’s easy to make and it’s a food that everyone - young and old and enjoy. I was surprised at how tasty it is!

From Saint Louis we continued on this food tour to the amazing sand dunes of the Lompoul Desert of Senegal. The dunes were beautiful, we rode camels and then we ended with a local couscous dinner at the Lompoul Ecolodge. Dinner was delicious, and the local drumming was incredible - a great way to end the evening.

And that completes another delicious day, eating Senegalese food in West Africa!

I love how kind and respectful Mark is to other cultures. If everyone was a little more like Mark, maybe the world would be a better place.

Love from Bangladesh. Senegal was the first African country to recognize Bangladesh following its independence in 1971. 
The people of senegal are really polite and hospitable. I hope in someday i will visit this beautiful country.

I'm Nigerian but no matter where I am in the world I look for Senegalese restaurant s. Thieboudienne is one of the best things I've eaten in my life

The woman has such a kind smile while she makes that chicken and onion dish. What a lovely lady!

[PgLangGang]

You can tell Pape has become comfortable in front of the camera. He’s probably my favorite food guide Mark has ever had at this point. Kind, knowledgeable and doesn’t try to steal the show or be pompous.

The cook has a very charming n friendly smile. Will try this dish. A big salute from India 🇮🇳

Seeing Diana cook the chicken yassa made me feel so relaxed, something about that woman’s demeanor emanated warmth, kindness and joy.

[Mrstriver]

I love it when she starts everything with BISMILLAH.MashaAllah sister

Mark, your Senegal series opens a world of simplicity, respect and grace. A very simple yet deep look into the Senegalese culture and cuisine, The juice of the revered Baobab tree is loaded with health benefits, but also spiritual significance. Watching your videos reminds us how connected the world really is.

I love open-minded people who are willing to discover other people's cultures and costumes instead of judging people constantly and wrongly just because they're different from them ( like french people tend to do in France ) !!
Mark, you are one of those lovely open-minded people. thanks a lot for visiting our beautiful country you will always be welcome among us my brother!

[eyobgebreselassie]

[GAMESQUAD]

Love how respectful Mark is of everyone’s culture ❤🇯🇲

[NabilAbdulrashidComedy]

I’m Nigerian but from the north (predominantly Muslim part) so culturally we have more in common with the Senegalese than the rest of Nigeria in terms of language, dress and cuisine.. really hope to visit one day
