    🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
    Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
    If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

    "Sometimes people watching this show mistake my casual way of interacting with locals for a lack of reverence or outright disrespect. Reality, I'm never forced to put on a fake display of deference for the simple reason that I don't pity these people."
    Sonny perfectly put into words what I have always thought about his interaction with different people from different cultures. He clearly has no intention of degrading people or disrespecting them. If the way he goes about interacting with people upsets you, it says more about yourself than him. Keep up the good work Sonny

    I never once thought the way you interact with these foreign cultures came off as disrespectful. The thing I like most about this show is how authentic it is and you are. I think too many people don't understand that their forced, excessive displays of respect are patronizing and alienating. You immerse yourself in a very real way, as someone fascinated and in love with foreign cultures and traditions without assuming the role of someone who believes appropriation is the only way to experience them. You don't have to pretend to enjoy drinking cow bile in order to show respect. You almost threw up, and you all laughed together and you thanked them for allowing you to experience their traditions with them and that is the most human and respectful thing you can do. That is part of what makes this channel so utterly fantastic.

I know some people who went to Africa and just drank water and ate cooked food from a street vendor and got so violently sick, they had to be flown out on emergency flight, they came close dying. These people are used to it but our digestive systems are not used to it.

      Agreed. I am actually sad that the videos (with this tribe) are done now. I like the datoga tribe! And of course agree completely with what you said about Sonny! I think that the Africa tour series is probably (one of) the best on his channel because many of the other cultures/countries, we would be able to visit these countries easier. And food wise is easier to come across their food. Except a few other places. But this Africa series wouldn’t be easy to visit ourselves (I think?). So we aren’t really exposed to it like other countries/cultures. That is what really makes it interesting for me personally. I too have really loved this series! I hate that Sonny has to say that he doesn’t do this for shock value but to live like them. For me, I wouldn’t even doubt he did this for shock value had he never said it. But UA-cam and its rules still don’t like it I think. But this broadens your horizons. To see how other people live.. which is very interesting to see and learn about.

    Kudos to Sonny. Every time I see episodes like this I remember that video conversation he had with Andrew Zimmern, and how Andrew described how when he was starting his culinary adventure show he didnt have an exotic palette yet, and after the durian fruit incident he decided no matter what he would try everything as the people do, accept it, and try not to insult their culture or ways of doing things. Sonny I think had been doing this well before this conversation with Andrew, but I think he really took his story to heart and his appreciation and accepting of other peoples ways really shows.

    14:44 - Sniffing tabaco became a pretty common thing in Europe after French linguist and diplomat Jean Nicot learnt about it at the portuguese court and introduced it in France around the 1580s. Snuff was firstly used as a medicine against headaches. The famous French queen Catherine de' Medici was one the frist "snuffers" hence the fine tabaco was called "Poudre de Reine" or Queen's Powder. Guess who nicotine was named was named after ...
    Nowadays the practise has been widely abandoned, followeing the smoking bans. You only see it in parodies of pirates and seaman ye olde sea dog these days, I guess.

    I would personally like to thank you and your crew for taking me to a place I could never understand living the life I live today. You said during the show that life is what you are introduced to and surrounded by. Nothing is ever made more sense to me in my life than this statement you made. Different cultures different parts of the world and different surroundings and introductions to life is something we are all susceptible to at birth. I have never traveled out of the United States and I have visited a small portion of the US for limited times. I've lived most of my life on the East Coast from New Jersey to Florida Keys. I met different people from different cultures from living in international cities. Your show is taking me around the world and introduced to my eyes and ears things I could never see or understand. I've held many jobs in my life and food is one of them from being a dishwasher to a restaurant manager and a span of 30 years. The way that you show people raising their own food and literally depending on it for their lifestyle is something that is totally awesome to me.

      True and real Latins are people of prominent Southern European Latin Mediterranean diaspora whos origins come from Italy and Roman derived Latin Europe. And Hispanic is literally the Latin language for Spain not the native Americans they colonized such as those like you an indigenous Americans weather you or others like you acknowledged it or not. Both Hispanic & Latin/Latino culture come from Europe that is Latin Europe. & Latin Europe was Latinized by Italy hence how Latina Italy got the historical Latin name LATINA! LATINO= SOUTHERN EUROPEAN LATIN MEDITERRANEAN ORIGIN. Hispanic is the name the TRUE Latino people of Rome/Italy gave the Spaniards. People from south central America and Mexico are historically native Americans & now some Mestizos whom where just forced to learn Hispanic ways just like people in North America who where forced to learn English ways and it ends there. Being culturally UNROOTED due to brainwashed acculturation is why so many North Americans don’t know their own identity Nor even care.TRUE Latin people need representation in North America as we are misrepresented all day long in this country and it’s not ok. Culturally rooted proud People native to south Central America and Mexico who embrace their true identity feel the same way with FALSE brands like Hispanic and Latino as that is Not their origin it is the origin of their colonizers. LATINOS are SOUTHERN EUROPEAN LATINS born anywhere in the world who’s roots come from the LATIN Roman Empire of the Mediterranean Race. HENCE HOW LATINA ITALY GOT THE HISTORICAL LATIN NAME LATINA! Supporting North American Brainwashed cultural theft for “gain” and “benefit” does Not magically change this. CULTURALLY REMOVED North Americans need to learn and respect their true culture that way they can stop stealing from mine. & TRUE LATINO MEN AND WOMEN AKA SOUTHERN EUROPEANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN MULTI RACIAL ETHNIC PEOPLE DUE TO OUR MIDDLE EASTERN, NORTH AFRICAN& BALKAN GYPSIE DNA. THIS CULTURAL RAPE EXIST BECAUSE THOSE LIKE YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE& WILL CONTINUE TO “BENEFIT” FROM THE CULTURAL THEFT TOWARDS US TRUE LATINO MEDITERRANEANS! THIS BRAINWASHED OBSESSION WITH PUSHING AMERICAN MOSTLY NORTH AMERICAN CULTURAL THEFT TOWARDS US TRUE LATIN PEOPLE AS A FASHION TREND NEEDS TO BE EXPOSED. ITS EXHAUSTING AND DISGUSTING

    I am in awe of how strong this man's stomach is. God bless you and your gag reflex, Sonny.

    11:15 As this is likely delicacy for her, she is surprised, puzzled, but mostly worried Sonny will throw up in the pot so quickly pulls it away 🤣 BTW this lady here is like sunshine. Beautiful smile, and always smiling!

    Probably the most authentic and real food review show I've seen. And this dude has to be one of the realist people I've seen. I got alot of respect for him and his team

    Don't tell me sonny is a full American, no American on planet earth can be so humble and loving to this extent. Let alone that we even lost our immigrants through their stereotyping nature. Keep up the good work sonny. Atleast it makes me happy that you enjoyed every part of my continent, AFRICA our beautiful mother!!! Its our nature to welcome and love everybody. Am not apologetic to anyone for being an African. One love!!

    The moment it registered in his mind that he broke the only thing keeping the cow with him🤣 I love your videos and your humor!
    They know that your intentions were never to disrespect them, your reaction is honest and truthful considering their customs are new! I probably would have thrown up so 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 for you 😂
    I’ve watched that scene with the cow so many times and have laughed just as hard😂 (it doesn’t take much to entertain me😅 and that’s something that would happen to me)

    The baby spitting out the twizzler, but happily drinking the bile.... Whew. We really are shaped by what we grow up eating.
