🇨🇮 West African Street Food - Mutton BBQ: https://youtu.be/i_LZi0G5nxA 👕 T-shirts: https://store.migrationology.com/ 🌶 Ghost Chili: https://amzn.to/3PNTvNQ Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire - Welcome to Toumodi, a town just outside of the bigger Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast). And today Germaine is taking us for an Ivorian bushmeat tour where we’ll be cooking and eating some of the tastiest jungle food delicacies of West Africa! We’ve eaten our way through the beautiful West African country of Côte d'Ivoire and today we’re in the heart of the country, home to the Baole tribe. Along with a rich culture and food, they are known throughout the country for their love of bushmeat and wild meats which can include deer, rabbit, and one of the most prized meat delicacies, agouti which is a huge rodent that’s also known as a grass cutter. First, we stopped in the town where there’s a cluster of roadside restaurants specializing in bushmeat of the day. They had rabbits and deer, and I was excited to try some of the local deer. The meat is first smoked to preserve it, then it’s cooked into a stew with lots of tomatoes and chilies to make an incredibly tasty sauce. We ate it along with pounded local yams, which is locally known as Futu. We then headed to the jungle camp where we first had a free range grilled chicken with plantains and chili sauce. I also had my first taste of Ivorian banji, palm wine tapped directly from the sap of the oil palm tree. It’s something truly spectacular, a perfect balance of sweet and sour. For the agouti, it was put into a traditional clay ceramic pot, with onions, tomatoes, and chilies, and simmered until tender and juicy. It was so tasty. We ate it along with yams, plantains, palm oil, and of course, more banji. It was another incredible food experience in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. A huge thank you to Germaine and Mr. Pokou for arranging this incredible time. Also thank you to my friend Mo Soumahoro from Belle Côte d’Ivoire (https://www.instagram.com/bellecotedivoire/) for arranging my trip and setting up everything in Côte d'Ivoire.

With 4 big ethnic groups broken into over 60 smaller ones, Ivory Coast has so much to offer in terms of food, history, culture, landscape & discovery. However, with limited time, this was a fair representation of the country as a whole. Here, we finish off in Baoulé country, where tubers are part of the main dish. I want to thank Germaine, Mr. Pokou & Families for hosting us. Biggest thanks to Mark Wiens for the opportunity as I invite him to come back for more food 🤗. Be sure to contact Belle Côte d’Ivoire for all your travel needs to Ivory Coast, Hope to see you soon! Vive la Côte d’Ivoire! 🥳 🇨🇮 🧡🤍💚

He was born as an universal baby, he embrace the entire world, nothing would tight him down with a certain type of 'tradition'. He has becoming an infinite human being, the one we should all become. Thank you Mark!

At this pt, mark wiens is better than any travel show on nat Geo or discovery channels..the man has been able to cut across all geopolitical narratives and bring together the world through food. He has highlighted that everyone is same and all places are beautiful. He is a true global ambassador, the best of humanity and man deserves a Nobel peace ✌️🕊️
