Maria is so patient. These are her home dishes so she's accustomed to the flavour. It's actually very nutritious food which is probably why Maria is glowing!

There must be something in what you are saying; just look at the old man who worked at the market who had been talking to them a few minutes before they ate. He told them that he took cold washes at - 50 and such like, and also that he exercised in such cold. He obviously couldn’t do that if the local cuisine wasn’t capable of sustaining him. I am curious however to know how many calories a day the locals need to keep them fuelled up. I’m guessing at at least 5,000 for a medium sized man and maybe 4,000 for a medium sized woman, more if pregnant.
Pro tip: Don't ask what you're eating until after you actually tried it. It's amazing how differently you can experience the taste and texture without that mental block.

It’s raw. No mental block here. 100,000+ years ago a Neanderthal dropped his “raw” meat into the fire, and forever changed the way he ate his “raw” meat…
Maria is such a kind and elegant hostess. Zero waste food is not exotic, is intelligent, nutricious and creative, as it happens in pretty much all South America.
Loved learning about Yakutia; Maria was so kind and patient while explaining the foods. Eli, you should learn a lesson from this-be respectful when someone is teaching you about their culture.
i absolutely adored hearing maria talk about each dish and it’s origin. she seems extremely soft spoken, kind, and intelligent. i feel i could listen to her forever haha~
What do your expect? Eli is Russian. Russian and Eastern European are very critical. The other girl is Syebrian, considering their genes also. They seem so simple and humble.
@@ana-maria448 Being Eastern European and rude are not mutually exclusive. That’s such a pathetic defence. Secondly, calling Maria and her people “simple” sounds backhanded. Weird comment.
Eli, you surprised me. I expected you to be more tolerant of exotic foods than you were. Your compatriot, Maria was very patient with you. She was truly sweet.
I thought the same thing and just commented this. I genuinely felt bad for the kind woman who continued to be polite as she bashed this woman's traditional food by calling it disgusting and making faces of disgust. It was hard to watch.
Actually she was quite elegant in saying what she likes or dislikes... Why should she have been lied saying "oh, it's delicios!"?! It's quite an unusual cuisine so it's a certain thing it's not for everybody. I guess the local realize this too.
Yes she didn't have to like the food, but why act like Maria culture food are so horrible. They go out of their way to host you and you gave her no respect.
It’s okay to say the food is not your cup of tea but it’s not nice to stick out your tongue in disgust and express how you dislike it like “Eww, this is revolting. How can you eat that?!” She didn’t say it directly though but that’s the impression I got from her.
Loved the video. Maria seemed quite patient and accepting of her guest. However, I felt as though Eli was critical of every dish and was a little disrespectful of how the traditional dishes looked or tasted like. I felt bad for Maria who kept being polite and she avoided making eye contact with her because honestly, no one would like their traditional dishes to be mocked at or looked down upon. ❤️That's why I love Davidsbeenhere. He is open minded to food across the world
In Russia people are usually less PC than in the West (and NO, I'm not gonna start an anti-West hysteria here, just mention that fact ). If we don't like smth, we say it openly, and I think it's better than just saying 1000 times how amazing it is.
I really love how Maria responds. These types of foods keep them healthy. Flour porridge we also have. Also all parts of animals such as cows sheep etc.
Maria is so Patient. These are her home dishes, so she's accustomed to the flavor. It's actually very nutritious food, which is probably why Maria is glowing!!! 😍🇵🇭
You can’t expect everyone to like all of a baby horse, its actually disturbing! I wouldn’t even try it! Im sure Maria understands that. That is definitely not a normal meal. I don’t think Eli made a huge deal of it just was overwhelmed.
@@kennedystarr8094 She was so rude. As a guest, she planned the creation of this video on eating cultural foods so its shocking that she approached it while being closed minded. Her obvious disgust made Maria uncomfortable and she seemed a bit ashamed although it was her own culture, in her own home as well.
This was so interesting. Maria was a lovely guest. Eli, maybe if you'd look at her while she's explaining the dish instead of staring into the camera, she'd have felt more comfortable.
This was a super interesting video and I love the content but I couldn’t help but feel bad for Maria. She looked embarrassed when going over some of the more “exotic” food items. I don’t think I could handle it when the host stated that some of her native foods looked “disgusting”. It seemed like Maria couldn’t make eye contact when talking about to dishes that would be deemed controversial.
@Марина Рувимовна Сергеева it is NOT. it just is for people that dont know it. cows tit glands milk is totally disgusting to asians and for us it is totally normal.
@Марина Рувимовна Сергеева horses are just another type of mammal, plenty of people eat beef, lamb, chicken, pork, etc. and eating organs is perfectly normal, so long as it gets used for something productive instead of going to waste, idc, and if I happen to think it’s tasty then that’s just an added bonus for me.
It's very interesting to see how Korean people and Yakutia people have similar food cultures. Traditionally, Korean people also eat liver, gut, raw fish, and raw meat, although we don't eat them frozen. The gut can be delicious if it is barbeque, and many young people love it. Also, we enjoy the tail soup. We call it as gom tang. Also, we make sausage with blood, and we call it soondae.
Yakutia and the people in Yakutia should stand on their own. They have nothing in common with the Russians. The Russian culture and language was forced upon them.
the people of Yakutsk are a lot like the Inuit people of the Arctic in Canada .. I was lucky to have done something similar as you Eli, in the North-West Territories of Canada when I was in the Canadian Army training with the Inuit soldiers .. we built igloos and ate frozen fish and caribou, went for dog sled rides and had a great time ..
@@jake-qn3tlwe descended from them but we evolved separately for tens of thousands of years. that’s like saying europeans are black because humanity started in africa. take your racism elsewhere.
I admire these people SO much. I wouldn’t last 15 minutes. I’m vegetarian and feel the cold terribly due to a medical condition. I think you have to be very strong and healthy to survive there.
Ума не приложу, что людей в современном мире, имея источники информации под рукой, доказанные научные исследования. Заставляет идти в разрез со своей природой. Вы по ряду причин не счастливы в жизни и о чем то обеспокоенны? Вы не можете решить внутренний конфликт, где для собственного успокоения решили взять под свой контроль то, что легче всего, это питание. Типа я контролирую своё питание, типа я справился со своей психологической проблемой 😂? Или вы за что-то наказываете себя, лишая свой организм полезных минералов и микроэлементов. Вы выглядите плохо. Со временем ваши волосы тускнеют. Кожа лица приобретает землистый оттенок. Слабость в мышцах. Взгляд, будто бы ваши глазницы пусты . И рычите как собаки за съединый кусок мяса незнакомцем. Это самобичевание посредством еды. Неосознанное. Бессознательное 😢. Я опасаюсь таких людей. В ростках пшеницы жизни больше, чем у вас. Нет сил даже бороться. Не хочу слабого мужа, и рождение слабого от него потомства.
Thank you for such an informative and interesting video about Yakut cuisine, Elina! ☺️ I truly enjoyed watching it, even though I said “nutritious” too many times 😂❤️
Youre awesome, Maria, glad to see you working together with other creators. I remember back in the day watching your video about a Danish TV program visiting Yakutsk, where you considered ending your channel because you had almost no subscribers haha.
Loved learning about Yakutia, Maria was so kind and patient while explaining the food's. Eli, you should learn a lesson from this-be respectful when someone is teaching you about their culture. 😍🇵🇭
Watching this while it's 40°C in India complaining about the life here. Now I'm surprised and grateful. And people usually get mad if the food isn't hot enough (gravies have to be boiling hot for some), next time an uncle complains the food isn't hot enough, I'll send him to Yakutia 💯😂 I wish all Yakutians good health and prosperity ❤
I live in Scotland where black pudding is very common, but I've never hard about separating out the plasma before - very interesting. I wonder what they do with the other bit.
I love how at 13:52 , you can tell they have very different cultural ideas around what food looks appetizing. Wonderful display of cultural relativism.
Maria is a sweet girl too. I watch her channel as I am intrigued about life in Yakutia also. It's polite to at least try the cuisine of a new country/ province when you are brought out for a meal. I would have tried everything too. Coming from Ireland originally, we eat blood sausage which is called black or white pudding. It comes in those two colors and is quite tasty. It's usually eaten at breakfast time with sausages, rashers (bacon) and eggs. When growing up in Ireland, my Mam would fix calf's liver at least once a week because of its high iron content. We would eat it fried. Occasionally, she would fix ox tongue which is delicious when sliced thinly. I remember her making oxtail soup too. Remember in countries where people have experienced famine, they are more prone to eating most parts of given animals. In Yakutia, there is a limit to the variety of foods available as it's such an unforgiving place when it comes to climate and what can be produced there. The dessert-like dishes at the end looked very appetizing indeed. It makes sense to get as much nutrition as possible to try and insulate one from the cold. I would guess that many people there are healthier than many of us because of their diet and the lack of processed foods in it. Fascinating. Thanks Eli and Maria!
I think the main difference between Irish food and the Yakutian shown on this video is that Irish animal and fish food is always cooked. I'm aware of "steak tartare", uncooked mince meat, and of Japanese and Scandinavian raw fish, but I wouldn't eat uncooked food for fear of infectious contamination. Also, Irish people don't eat horse/foal meat, although I have enjoyed horse dishes in Belgium. As for black and white pudding, how could Eli have lived so long, looking so well, without eating them until now?
@Cirian Doyle Hello! I'm from Yakutia, we and our ancestors always cook meat. I don't understand where you get the information that we only eat raw food :) Even in this video girls eat everything that was cooked, except raw fish “Stroganina” which we eat only on holidays. And “Stroganina” is our delicacy, because it is not made from ordinary fish, but only from some types of large Artic Ocean fish (chir, Muksun, Nelma), caught by ice fishing in late autumn and freshly frozen. This arctic fishes are very clean, so it can be eaten raw but necessary frozen. More than 35 species of fish live in the rivers of our large Republic (20% of the entire territory of Russia), which we eat only fried and well cooked.
@@amaximoff4559 Thank you Mr Maximoff, I am now much better informed. Why did I think eating raw food was such a big thing in Yakutia? It was because we in Western Europe have a very imprecise geographical concept called "Tartary" which includes everywhere east of the Urals. (This corresponds in geographical vagueness to "Ferenghistan" which seems to include all of Western Europe.) And I associate "Tartary" with the adjective "tartare", used to describe meals of raw meat. Thanks to you and the pandasakha channel, I'll learn some interesting stuff about Yakutia. Meanwhile, one question: are there salmon (лосос) in the rivers of Yakutia? Киран / Ciarán
That soup looked delicious. Actually everything looks great. I am Hispanic, Colombian and we eat all of these meats una different fashion however like the blood sausage and the intestine soup or guts. This was a great video to watch. Our cuisines are similar yet our countries sooo far away from eachother!
Lots of traditional cuisines I have things like blood sausage, and incorporating offal and other meats. I grew up eating all that, and beef tongue, etc in Eastern Ontario Canada. Everything is delicious
I was just thinking this! Colombian blood sausage is so delicious and its amazing to see such a far off country and so different from ours have similar foods
@@BasilBerryQueer What are you even replying to from what I have specifically said Basil Berry? Amerindians are only 4.3% of the Colombian population. Afro-Colombians are 6.6% (which includes mixed). Whites and Mestizos are 88% of the population, with the vast majority white or white-mixed. This is primarily Spanish background, with some Italian, German and ME as well.
Life is beautiful in this cold temperature. I lived 2 years in the Arctic Canada and I can feel the life in this remote area of Siberia. Kudos to these people.
I feel like Eli was quite rude which Is sad to see 😢 Maria was very sweet to bring you along and share her Traditional dishes- only to be basically put down for them 😔
@@folksurvival I totally agree with you...Eli was not being rude, she was just saying what she did not like...what's wrong with that? I would not eat that food either....
Hello from Turkey. The food looked delicious and inviting to me. Especially the soup Maria ordered looked sooo delicious to me! We have a very very similar soup in Turkey and it’s one of my favorites. But ours also has garlic. We also consume intestines as a delicacy. We roll it to a stick and cook it over wood’s fire and then make it a sandwich. 😋 More expensive than chicken and meat and it’s an amazing street food. We don’t eat horses because horses are expensive in Turkey and we don’t have many. Frozen fish and frozen meat also looked sooo yummy to me. Wish I could eat them as snack intead of potato chips 😅 Hope someday I find the opportunity to try it.
Eli is Tatar, same Turkic culture as Yakut, she showed Tatar food in some videos and it was similar to Yakut food, horse meat too, so these particular reactions were weird. Apparently Eli doesn’t know her own culture well
We often use pigs blood here in the UK to make a sausage called "black pudding". It is then sliced into rounds, fried and usually served as part of a Full English Breakfast 🙂
@@Светлана-ф4с8н Unfortunately people learn how to bulk it out with other agents to maximise profits. I buy only from my butcher and never from a supermarket, that way I get good quality and only have it as a treat now and then 🙂
We call that "black sausage" in Finland. The other component is rye grain porridge in it or sometimes barley in homemade versions. Tampere is the blacksausage town in Finland. It is eaten with mustard or lingonberry jelly.
Maria has an amazing voice! Her voice is so soft, deep and soothing, very feminine. Maria must read children's fairy tales on the radio to harmonize the world! Her husband is a happy man...
I actually like how you "both" respected each other. She understood that this is new and you took a chance because it's polite, you're in a different place...hey I get it. Enjoyed this. Both of you are good folks.
Eli is like most US people, though she's not one of them. Arrogance and rudeness are spreading like covid... Fortunately, there are still some real humans, like Maria.
Hi! I'm from Philippines, here in our country the word Salamat means Thank You and I find it interesting that you guys use Salamat food during rituals which is very appropriate in giving thanks for a celebration, Plus the fact that we have a very similar staple too except that we use goats and cows exotic parts with almost the same style of cooking as Yakut Cuisine. Super cool to have found our similarities you guys. Hope I can visit and live for a month in Yakutia cause I don't really think I'll be able to stay too long as I'm used to the sun. More power to this kind of content, Cheers!
that is sooo dope my man! heya from yakut and i have a question for you: ginger mosquitos with fur or -47C lmaao but better ofc visit yakutsk in winter, i think nov-dec-jan okay, feb too windy (almost always), october too hot and its not snowy magical just dirt ...i hope one day you really gonna visit us
@@marzonimarisa Hi there! Thanks for your responses... I didn't know my comment would actually have an impact on you guys, Thank You!! & honestly, my life has been so challenging in the past several months, which made me realize that life is really, really, really, short. I know I'd said just so casually at first " I just want to go stay in Yakutsk and stay for a month"... But suddenly life has given me a deeper meaning to it because of the death of The Person who is So Dear to me. I'm not gonna waste time here on earth and Yakutsk is gonna be one of my bucket lists from now on, to help me push myself to stay in one of the coldest place here on earth and learn to survive & maybe even thrive inspite of the pain and discomfort it may give me just so I could feel that I'm alive! Life is too short to stay in the comfort zone so hopefully I'll be able to save up for Russia in 2 years time and make YOUR PLACE as one of the first few lists I could kick out of my bucket list. Hope to see you there! Cheers... ❤️
Maria was being a gracious host by including all the familiar meats, fish and foods from her region and explaining about each one. Maria was very sweet and Eli was a good sport trying each and every food whether she liked it or not. Very interesting and informative video. Thank you to Eli💕 and Maria💕
I definitely think that Eli should have had a better choice of words. It’s very brave of her to try new foods that she’s not used to, but it’s also very vulnerable of Maria to teach someone about her home and cultural food.
What the hell is wrong with you crybabies? Eli has said often enough that food tastes wonderfully delicious. She couldn't get used to organ meat etc. and was extremely respectful about it. it is her right to express her opinion and not constantly kiss people's asses? Like yall need a reality check asap cause that's crazy
OMG. I love this kitchen already! Eli, you should have tried everything and only then ask what it was. Human kind was much healthier when we still ate all of the animal parts. There's enormous amount on vital nutritions in organ meat, which unfortunately most of us no longer eats.
@John g So, you don't differenciate between Siberia and Serbia but you know that Kosovo is part of Albania. Learn some geography and history to get some idea what Kosovo is.
Maria is so polite and adorable!🥺 Eli, you were brave to try the food. If someone is not used to those kind of flavours, I believe, it’s totally normal not to like them at first. In Italy we also have blood sausage and I think it’s common in other European countries like Germany. We also eat different parts of the animals, like tongue, tail, stomach, brain, liver and horse meat as well but It is not so common amongst younger generations though. My mother, when I was little, was told by the paediatrician to give me horse meat because it contains a lot of iron and it is perfect for people who suffer from anemia. I really love raw meat, I think it is delicious.
I agree with Marty , horse meat in Italy is a regional thing like all our dishes , i' m from Veneto and in my region horse meat is very popular. We ate everthing of the meat because our country was really poor and we couldn't afford wasting food. For example i really love trippe (cow intestine) the taste is delicious but is a bit weird when you chew it , and every italian eat cotechino on new years eve and is made with pig leather , odd but we adore it. Almost Every food is delcious if you know how to prepare and cook it.
Thanks to you both for realizing that our world is so diverse. I grew up very poor in the Southern US and would never criticize another’s cuisine. “Eat what you got and be thankful you got that”is what my parents would say
@@giorgio2909 You are so right, Giorgio! I love tripe as well. I fell in love with lampredotto when I was in Florence🤤 Btw, my mum’s family is from Veneto too and my grandma used to prepare fegato alla veneziana and my mom said it was delicious, unfortunately never tried it. I should learn how to prepare it myself.
@@toddhendley67 I am sorry to hear that! Your parents were right. We are also taught to be grateful for the food we have and not to waste it because there are still many people that cannot afford food and thinking that in some places people waste so much food, especially when it comes to meat, is so disappointing and sad.
I really wanted to watch this because I was genuinely interested in how they eat to stay warm in such cold weather. I was shocked and surprised by how rude you were by putting down their traditional food that is a part of their culture. Saying you don't like it is fine. Saying it looks disgusting and "oh boy, some more raw meat and fish" with a genuine look of disgust on your face was incredibly ignorant and it made me feel so sorry for the people that invited you to come into their home and show you their food, proudly. This is the first and definitely the last video I will ever watch on this channel. I will however go subscribe and like the woman who graciously smiled and still continued to be polite to you as you put down her traditional way of life. Edit: People can disagree with me all they want. It is hysterical about the people who are stating everyone is too offended these days in reaction to my comment. You are the ones actually offended by every little thing if my comment on a UA-cam video about what I perceive to be good manners triggers you to continue commenting and arguing that it's just in the Russian nature to be straightforward. There is a difference between saying you do not like the food. Noone has the same tastes and I personally would care less if a guest told me they didn't care for a dish I prepared. However, shrinking up your face in disgust at the sight and smell of the food and calling the food disgusting as the host is saying this is a delicacy only served on special occasions and is a traditional food in their culture is flat out rude and ignorant and has zero to do with being an honest person and more to do with being a person who has no manners. So, agree or disagree. You can be an honest and straightforward person while still maintaining manners and grace.
@@elswae She obviously doesn't have to like everything, we all like different things- but using words like "awful" is not a good thing. How do you like it if people said that about the food you eat?
@@elswae She can say she is not fond of the taste of the food. Everyone has different tastes and that is perfectly fine. She was calling their food disgusting. This was traditional food that was a delicacy in their culture that they specially prepared for her to try. She called it gross before she even tried some of it. It was not about someone being honest and straightforward. This was someone being rude AF and having no respect for the person who just invited them into their home and cooked all the food that was special to the people of that region.
I highly adore and admire the respect and dignity you show towards the people you meet. Often you see travel vlogs that become too ''funny''. Driven by ambition. You're a breath of fresh air compared to those. You're authentic. I always watch your vlogs twice. Back-to-back.
Respect & dignity? She behaved the opposite to her gracious companion. I was cringing for her immaturity, rudeness, and apparent ignorance. Eating nose to tail is the norm in traditional cultures worldwide.
Bro that athlete in the open market was a legend I loved what he said about loving work, working hard and respecting people and that he raises his children to be the same.
I appreciate Eli’s sincerity - it is obvious that her intentions are good and to insult the other - very clever and charming woman. Maria is also nice and authentic just in another way. All people are different and everybody must be it’s real selv - this the charm of diversity. Go on - now Yakutsk is in the list of my future travel destinations.
Wow, that is amazing! In the early 17 century, there were some Yakut workers that came along with the russians on boats travelling along the coast in Alaska and all the way to California. They were mostly hunters and construction workers building forts for the Russians against the Spanish. Some Yakuts settled in Alaska and California for good marrying local native women.
Native Americans went to america from Asia in the last ice age Bering strait was frozen…so they could go easily to American continent…native Americans are related to Altaic, Uralic and sinitic people.

@@julian6384Personally, I found it odd that Eli had a mental block going so strong on the cooked intestine-cleaned intestine is the casing for sausage, and sausage is very big in Russian cuisine. She’s eaten intestine before, but perhaps was simply unaware of it.
My guess is the “staring into the camera” is mostly because of limited options available for camera position in that room. Would you prefer to instead look at the back of her head?
I know you didn’t mean to be rude at all! It’s just best to not complain about what they eat. I’m a Siberian girl from southern Siberia so I can not relate, but it’s always good to be mindful of the people who gave you the local food. They don’t have as many options due to the colder climate. Best act grateful for it
I am Sakha. Mongolian are our blood relatives. The Sakha were mixed with Mongolians at some point -- since living near the Baikal lake in the south -- before moving towards the north of the land.
@@John77Doe Really? When I was in Greenland (Kalaallit / Inuit) two years ago (as a seasonal worker) we ate seal soup, which was boiled seal ribs (meat and fat) with rice. They said it had a lot of vitamins. I've heard North-European metabolism is different (I'm a Finn), like it can't absorb vitamin c and d from meat so well, so I used every opportunity I had to buy fruits or dried fruits and frozen vegetables, though the locals didn't eat them so much. Maybe some families ate raw meat and fat on their dinner tables more. Me and other foreigners were offered some to taste while our roommates were skinning a seal, and some frozen and dried traditional foods in parties. I also noticed that in parties, they ate some Danish meats, that Danes usually eat cooked, like ox meat and pork, frozen and raw. Maybe this is a bit of a 'national health' issue though, like we Finns don't eat enough vegetables nowadays, maybe Inuit aren't eating enough raw foods?
@@raapyna8544 All I know is that a diet high in fish oil is not what prevents the Inuit from having a high heart disease rate with their high cholesterol diet. Inuits have a genetic mutation that allows them to metabolize cholesterol in a different way, so that bad LDL doesn’t settle down and form arterial plaques when you have high serum cholesterol. All those Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplements are doing nothing to prevent heart disease in the general population. You can get Vitamin A poisoning from eating Polar Bear Liver or the Liver of a Dog. The Ancient Chinese discovered Vitamin A poisoning from eating dog liver and there is an Ancient Chinese Proverb about being able to cook with anything except the liver of a dog. So the Inuit are definitely getting lots of Vitamin A without eating carrots. The human body converts Beta carotene into Vitamin A. Wikipedia says: Some animal products, including liver, muktuk (whale skin), oysters, and parts of the central nervous system, including the adrenal medulla, brain, and spinal cord, contain large amounts of vitamin C, and can even be used to treat scurvy. Fresh meat from animals which make their own vitamin C (which most animals do) contains enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, and even partly treat it. In some cases (notably French soldiers eating fresh horse meat), it was discovered that meat alone, even partly cooked meat, could alleviate scurvy. Scott's 1902 Antarctic expedition used lightly fried seal meat and liver, whereby complete recovery from incipient scurvy was reported to have taken less than two weeks. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Eli, thank you so much for posting. Very interesting and entertaining. I enjoy all your travel/cultural videos. It opens up the world to me. I won't let the trolls get me down and neither should you. Haters got to hate. Anyway, keep the videos coming. Poka' poka'.
Every time I watch a Yakutia video, I see those fatty pancakes with that cream and that jam ( I think it's jam) and my mouth literally waters lol. I just love this place and the people, the culture. They are just amazing, kind, strong, hard working people! 💯😌💜
I like Maria. She s unterstanding that their food seems weird. Interesting fact is, if you go to iceland or to Nuuk in Greenland to try traditional food, you also get tons of weird food. Bloodsaucage is not so uncommon.
Hello from Las Vegas! I give Eli a lot of credit for even trying everything. Most Americans would not even attempt to try any of these dishes. For me, everything looks wonderful and I would have wolfed it all down! I have a very easy and open mind pallete though.
I love how Maria's cuisine is all natural and based on the season and availability of animals, weather, etx. Nature and culture is SO fascinating to me ❤❤
Eli, I travel through Russia from your videos. Thank you for educating me on the people, food, customs. As different as it may seem, we are more similar. No matter what culture, civilizations will use the entire animal for food, maybe just different preparations. I sure appreciate your videos- they're facinating!
Elena said the "boiled guts" ("offal" in English) looks "awful." LOL. She's the best and has the reactions to and questions about things I think I would. Maria is so nice too. Actually, "blood sausage" is traditional food across much of Europe. Blood pudding in UK, Blutwurst in Germanic areas, etc. My German language professor in college said in the old days, no part of an animal went to waste, esp. nutrient rich parts like blood. Thanks for your videos, very educational and enjoyable :)
Hello, I live in Yakutia and I can say that the Asian peoples of Russia, as well as other Asian peoples, in particular the Chinese, Koreans, have a culture of eating all edible parts of the animal's body - heads, tails, hooves, internal organs. People reason like this - if an animal sacrificed its life in order for me to be full, I am obliged to eat this animal as much as possible.

Thank you Eli for hosting a lovely video together with Maria !!! Of course the food was strange to you, but you did well at tasting the different dishes of Yakutia ! I’m following a mostly carnivore diet which is meat, fish & eggs together with dairy (milk, cream, butter etc) & this diet encourages organ meats like liver ! The people of Yakutia are correct - this is the most nutritious kinds of food to eat - well done on them ! Blessings to you & Maria 💝🌷
Hey Ms. Eli and Ms. Maria!! Your resemblance is remarkable! Are you sure you're not twin sisters? Or first cousins! This is cultural shock: The food mart is like an open freezer! Is there frozen ice cream? The cold and the local food just seems to make people look younger with beautiful skin! Thank you for the tour!
I'm vegetarian... I finally got the umpteenth confirmation that life in such a cold land would be extremely difficult for me, especially due to this food issue. Thank you, anyway, for another top-quality video!
It would be almost impossible for you to live there. I only knew one vegetarian in Yakutsk that survived on mostly beans and rice, potatoes, cabbage salads etc.
@@NatalieVasilyev a lot of quantity and good quality have to be those foods to provide the fat that a body with extreme cold around it would normally need. yes, catch a good pneumonia can be fine.
It’s disrespectful that she isn’t facing her . She is clearly trying to genuinely interact with her and she is asking questions ingenuinely. And she is slightly offended a few times based on her facial expressions….the host is very patient
In Argentina the guts of the cow are called "mondongo" and boiled and served in traditional dish called "locro" and blood-made sausages are also common there and they are called "prietas"which are served with boiled potatoes. In Argentina people eat tons of meat really.
Salamat in Filipino means Thank you! It's nice to know that the porridge is prepared during special occasions like wedding & house blessings. Learning a lot bout Yakutsk culture specially their food. 😍❤️🇵🇭
Maria is so patient. These are her home dishes so she's accustomed to the flavour. It's actually very nutritious food which is probably why Maria is glowing!

Eli was trying so hard not laugh the entire video lmao
@@DouorDie that’s weird because they are both Turkic and when Eli showed National Bashkir and Tatar food it was similar to Yakut food
There must be something in what you are saying; just look at the old man who worked at the market who had been talking to them a few minutes before they ate. He told them that he took cold washes at - 50 and such like, and also that he exercised in such cold. He obviously couldn’t do that if the local cuisine wasn’t capable of sustaining him.
I am curious however to know how many calories a day the locals need to keep them fuelled up. I’m guessing at at least 5,000 for a medium sized man and maybe 4,000 for a medium sized woman, more if pregnant.
@@oleggorky906 calories are a unit measurement of heat. Who eats heat? How do you eat a calorie?
Pro tip: Don't ask what you're eating until after you actually tried it. It's amazing how differently you can experience the taste and texture without that mental block.

She also kept smelling it BEFORE tasting, like a 3 year old. That DEFINITELY adversely effects the experience.
@@Carolina-nn6ye ALOT of people smell their food before eating…
That's right on!
It’s raw. No mental block here. 100,000+ years ago a Neanderthal dropped his “raw” meat into the fire, and forever changed the way he ate his “raw” meat…
Maria is such a kind and elegant hostess. Zero waste food is not exotic, is intelligent, nutricious and creative, as it happens in pretty much all South America.
Hi ana nice yakuts culture and food love from India
Loved learning about Yakutia; Maria was so kind and patient while explaining the foods. Eli, you should learn a lesson from this-be respectful when someone is teaching you about their culture.
Eli acting like food from her culture is any better. Or even good 😂
their culture is actually pretty related idk why she acting like that
Eli is phony and rude.
Where is this lady from...seems so ignorant and really poor choice of words..please stay home...with your exotic accent...
@lllllllllll4239 it's nothing like theirs 😅😅😅😅😅😅
i absolutely adored hearing maria talk about each dish and it’s origin. she seems extremely soft spoken, kind, and intelligent. i feel i could listen to her forever haha~
She has a channel Life in Yakutia. Very calming voice indeed
I knoow!!! I have errands to run, I really have to go... but this is just so interesting and the girls are so nice to watch.....help

Eli’s behaviour is so upsetting. You can see how Maria feels discouraged as the video goes on. She was so sweet and patient.
Yess she got interupted so many times
What do your expect? Eli is Russian. Russian and Eastern European are very critical. The other girl is Syebrian, considering their genes also. They seem so simple and humble.
@@ana-maria448 Being Eastern European and rude are not mutually exclusive. That’s such a pathetic defence. Secondly, calling Maria and her people “simple” sounds backhanded. Weird comment.
@@ana-maria448 Also both women are in Russia and both are Eastern European. Where are your critical thinking skills???
@@ana-maria448Both women are Russian in the video, what do you mean?
Eli, you surprised me. I expected you to be more tolerant of exotic foods than you were.
Your compatriot, Maria was very patient with you. She was truly sweet.
Lol yeah, that look she gave her 😂.
I agree!!
Maria was an absolute angel... Eli was patronising and kind of a douche...
I was getting annoyed. I'm sure it's pretty rude in all cultures to not make eye contact when you're being spoken to.
I thought the same thing and just commented this. I genuinely felt bad for the kind woman who continued to be polite as she bashed this woman's traditional food by calling it disgusting and making faces of disgust. It was hard to watch.
You cannot call anybody's culture or food gross on their face. Period. Especially if they are being so nice and hospitable.
+1
Are you offended for all Yakutians?)
Yeah she was pretty ignorant.
You don't invite someone to eat cultural food and native and then trash it the whole fucking time.
@@mikevasilev1716 probably just offended on behalf of people people with humility and class
Don’t yuk someone’s yum!
Maria is so lovely and polite , Eli I think you were a little to critical of some of their traditional foods that they are proud of and really love.
Russians are not two faced . So with your mind everyone should be two faced lmao
She was honest. It is not an offence to tell your opinion in east Europe....
Actually she was quite elegant in saying what she likes or dislikes... Why should she have been lied saying "oh, it's delicios!"?! It's quite an unusual cuisine so it's a certain thing it's not for everybody. I guess the local realize this too.
Yes she didn't have to like the food, but why act like Maria culture food are so horrible. They go out of their way to host you and you gave her no respect.
It’s okay to say the food is not your cup of tea but it’s not nice to stick out your tongue in disgust and express how you dislike it like “Eww, this is revolting. How can you eat that?!” She didn’t say it directly though but that’s the impression I got from her.
Eli is aggressive, kudos to Maria for being such a kind and patient guest.
Aggressive? Not eye contact or fake reactions is aggressive?
You must hate any kind of city life if you think that's aggressive
Loved the video. Maria seemed quite patient and accepting of her guest. However, I felt as though Eli was critical of every dish and was a little disrespectful of how the traditional dishes looked or tasted like. I felt bad for Maria who kept being polite and she avoided making eye contact with her because honestly, no one would like their traditional dishes to be mocked at or looked down upon. ❤️That's why I love Davidsbeenhere. He is open minded to food across the world
Saw complete opposite
I agree 1000% and she kept cutting her off mid sentence. I loved Maria’s patience.
Not only that, but she keeps staring at the camera while Maria is trying to make (social) eye contact. Towards the end is better though.
So she should lie and say that disgusting food is fantastic???
In Russia people are usually less PC than in the West (and NO, I'm not gonna start an anti-West hysteria here, just mention that fact ). If we don't like smth, we say it openly, and I think it's better than just saying 1000 times how amazing it is.
"It's not the weather, that makes a place warm" - such a nice phrase!
it's raw meat!
I really love how Maria responds. These types of foods keep them healthy. Flour porridge we also have. Also all parts of animals such as cows sheep etc.
Maria is so Patient. These are her home dishes, so she's accustomed to the flavor. It's actually very nutritious food, which is probably why Maria is glowing!!! 😍🇵🇭
Maria's English is extremely accomplished and nearly perfect.
mate didn't asked ??? G.F
Eli can prolly learn a few things from Maria like being respectful, polite and humility which you clearly lacks
You can’t expect everyone to like all of a baby horse, its actually disturbing! I wouldn’t even try it! Im sure Maria understands that. That is definitely not a normal meal. I don’t think Eli made a huge deal of it just was overwhelmed.
Agreed
@@kennedystarr8094 She was so rude. As a guest, she planned the creation of this video on eating cultural foods so its shocking that she approached it while being closed minded. Her obvious disgust made Maria uncomfortable and she seemed a bit ashamed although it was her own culture, in her own home as well.
@@kennedystarr8094baby horse is disturbing to you, yet in the west veal meat is served, which comes from baby cows 🙄
@@niqerfaguettranykyke I don’t eat Veal.. so great point lol
This was so interesting. Maria was a lovely guest. Eli, maybe if you'd look at her while she's explaining the dish instead of staring into the camera, she'd have felt more comfortable.
Exactly
My thought too!
Exactly my thought too. It feels too awkward watching it
It always surprises me when people in such remote areas speak great English. Bravo to them.
This was a super interesting video and I love the content but I couldn’t help but feel bad for Maria. She looked embarrassed when going over some of the more “exotic” food items. I don’t think I could handle it when the host stated that some of her native foods looked “disgusting”. It seemed like Maria couldn’t make eye contact when talking about to dishes that would be deemed controversial.
@Марина Рувимовна Сергеева Russian moment
@Марина Рувимовна Сергеева it is NOT. it just is for people that dont know it.
cows tit glands milk is totally disgusting to asians and for us it is totally normal.
@Марина Рувимовна Сергеева typical russian ignorance
@Марина Рувимовна Сергеева horses are just another type of mammal, plenty of people eat beef, lamb, chicken, pork, etc. and eating organs is perfectly normal, so long as it gets used for something productive instead of going to waste, idc, and if I happen to think it’s tasty then that’s just an added bonus for me.
@Марина Рувимовна Сергееваsome western European countries also eat horse. and even "exoticer" meats, now what?
It's very interesting to see how Korean people and Yakutia people have similar food cultures. Traditionally, Korean people also eat liver, gut, raw fish, and raw meat, although we don't eat them frozen. The gut can be delicious if it is barbeque, and many young people love it. Also, we enjoy the tail soup. We call it as gom tang. Also, we make sausage with blood, and we call it soondae.
Almost all asian culture don't waste any part of the animal that they eat.
Not only korea bb
Apparently Koreans are related to Turkic people
We eat these things in Japan too, believe it or not
Yakutia and the people in Yakutia should stand on their own. They have nothing in common with the Russians. The Russian culture and language was forced upon them.
the people of Yakutsk are a lot like the Inuit people of the Arctic in Canada .. I was lucky to have done something similar as you Eli, in the North-West Territories of Canada when I was in the Canadian Army training with the Inuit soldiers .. we built igloos and ate frozen fish and caribou, went for dog sled rides and had a great time ..
No, we are very different.
only on the surface, but where it counts we are all the same ... as you grow older this will become very apparent for you@@MrVitconst
@@MrVitconstYou're the same
Canadian Inuits, Iglooliks, Caribous are relatives to Russian Aleuts and Escimos but for Yakuts they are not close relatives
@@jake-qn3tlwe descended from them but we evolved separately for tens of thousands of years. that’s like saying europeans are black because humanity started in africa. take your racism elsewhere.
I admire these people SO much. I wouldn’t last 15 minutes. I’m vegetarian and feel the cold terribly due to a medical condition. I think you have to be very strong and healthy to survive there.
They grow up that way.

I enjoy your channel! Thank you.
You were a nice host
Maria, you were fantastic! Don't worry about it:))
Youre awesome, Maria, glad to see you working together with other creators. I remember back in the day watching your video about a Danish TV program visiting Yakutsk, where you considered ending your channel because you had almost no subscribers haha.

Watching this while it's 40°C in India complaining about the life here. Now I'm surprised and grateful. And people usually get mad if the food isn't hot enough (gravies have to be boiling hot for some), next time an uncle complains the food isn't hot enough, I'll send him to Yakutia 💯😂
I wish all Yakutians good health and prosperity ❤
Blood sausage is a thing in many places. The whole of UK, Germany, Netherlands, France at the least also do it. I make mine from scratch sometimes.
I can highly recomment Surinam blood sausage from the toko
Aso in Iceland. We call it blóðmör or blóðbúðingur - bloodpudding
I live in Scotland where black pudding is very common, but I've never hard about separating out the plasma before - very interesting. I wonder what they do with the other bit.
I love how at 13:52 , you can tell they have very different cultural ideas around what food looks appetizing. Wonderful display of cultural relativism.
We eat seasoned raw fish in Hawaii and try to keep it ICE COLD. It’s called Poké (Po-Kay) here in Hawaii . It is raw tuna fish.
Hamachi taste like nelma, I moved from Yakutia to Hawaii lol
You are probably going to be surprised but in Milan poke is like the new “healthy fast food “ trend
Ok omg that makes so much sense there’s a restaurant called poké aloha , and I never understood until now . Thank you
Poke is popular everywhere now. It’s the new trend apparently lol
One of my favorites. It’s so refreshing on an oppressively humid, hot day!
Maria is a sweet girl too. I watch her channel as I am intrigued about life in Yakutia also. It's polite to at least try the cuisine of a new country/ province when you are brought out for a meal. I would have tried everything too. Coming from Ireland originally, we eat blood sausage which is called black or white pudding. It comes in those two colors and is quite tasty. It's usually eaten at breakfast time with sausages, rashers (bacon) and eggs. When growing up in Ireland, my Mam would fix calf's liver at least once a week because of its high iron content. We would eat it fried. Occasionally, she would fix ox tongue which is delicious when sliced thinly. I remember her making oxtail soup too. Remember in countries where people have experienced famine, they are more prone to eating most parts of given animals. In Yakutia, there is a limit to the variety of foods available as it's such an unforgiving place when it comes to climate and what can be produced there. The dessert-like dishes at the end looked very appetizing indeed. It makes sense to get as much nutrition as possible to try and insulate one from the cold. I would guess that many people there are healthier than many of us because of their diet and the lack of processed foods in it. Fascinating. Thanks Eli and Maria!
Her channel is amazing
I think the main difference between Irish food and the Yakutian shown on this video is that Irish animal and fish food is always cooked. I'm aware of "steak tartare", uncooked mince meat, and of Japanese and Scandinavian raw fish, but I wouldn't eat uncooked food for fear of infectious contamination. Also, Irish people don't eat horse/foal meat, although I have enjoyed horse dishes in Belgium. As for black and white pudding, how could Eli have lived so long, looking so well, without eating them until now?
@Cirian Doyle Hello! I'm from Yakutia, we and our ancestors always cook meat. I don't understand where you get the information that we only eat raw food :) Even in this video girls eat everything that was cooked, except raw fish “Stroganina” which we eat only on holidays. And “Stroganina” is our delicacy, because it is not made from ordinary fish, but only from some types of large Artic Ocean fish (chir, Muksun, Nelma), caught by ice fishing in late autumn and freshly frozen. This arctic fishes are very clean, so it can be eaten raw but necessary frozen. More than 35 species of fish live in the rivers of our large Republic (20% of the entire territory of Russia), which we eat only fried and well cooked.
You can check what we eat in PandaSakha UA-cam channel 👋
@@amaximoff4559 Thank you Mr Maximoff, I am now much better informed.
Why did I think eating raw food was such a big thing in Yakutia? It was because we in Western Europe have a very imprecise geographical concept called "Tartary" which includes everywhere east of the Urals. (This corresponds in geographical vagueness to "Ferenghistan" which seems to include all of Western Europe.) And I associate "Tartary" with the adjective "tartare", used to describe meals of raw meat.
Thanks to you and the pandasakha channel, I'll learn some interesting stuff about Yakutia. Meanwhile, one question: are there salmon (лосос) in the rivers of Yakutia?

That soup looked delicious. Actually everything looks great. I am Hispanic, Colombian and we eat all of these meats una different fashion however like the blood sausage and the intestine soup or guts. This was a great video to watch. Our cuisines are similar yet our countries sooo far away from eachother!
Lots of traditional cuisines I have things like blood sausage, and incorporating offal and other meats.
I grew up eating all that, and beef tongue, etc in Eastern Ontario Canada. Everything is delicious

Hello from Turkey. The food looked delicious and inviting to me. Especially the soup Maria ordered looked sooo delicious to me! We have a very very similar soup in Turkey and it’s one of my favorites. But ours also has garlic. We also consume intestines as a delicacy. We roll it to a stick and cook it over wood’s fire and then make it a sandwich. 😋 More expensive than chicken and meat and it’s an amazing street food. We don’t eat horses because horses are expensive in Turkey and we don’t have many. Frozen fish and frozen meat also looked sooo yummy to me. Wish I could eat them as snack intead of potato chips 😅 Hope someday I find the opportunity to try it.
Eli is Tatar, same Turkic culture as Yakut, she showed Tatar food in some videos and it was similar to Yakut food, horse meat too, so these particular reactions were weird. Apparently Eli doesn’t know her own culture well

More power to this kind of content, Cheers!
Thank you :)
Приезжайте летом. Летом жарко, до +40С бывает
that is sooo dope my man! heya from yakut
and i have a question for you: ginger mosquitos with fur or -47C lmaao
but better ofc visit yakutsk in winter, i think nov-dec-jan okay, feb too windy (almost always), october too hot and its not snowy magical just dirt
...i hope one day you really gonna visit us
@@marzonimarisa Hi there! Thanks for your responses... I didn't know my comment would actually have an impact on you guys, Thank You!! & honestly, my life has been so challenging in the past several months, which made me realize that life is really, really, really, short.
I know I'd said just so casually at first " I just want to go stay in Yakutsk and stay for a month"... But suddenly life has given me a deeper meaning to it because of the death of The Person who is So Dear to me.
I'm not gonna waste time here on earth and Yakutsk is gonna be one of my bucket lists from now on, to help me push myself to stay in one of the coldest place here on earth and learn to survive & maybe even thrive inspite of the pain and discomfort it may give me just so I could feel that I'm alive!
Life is too short to stay in the comfort zone so hopefully I'll be able to save up for Russia in 2 years time and make YOUR PLACE as one of the first few lists I could kick out of my bucket list. Hope to see you there! Cheers... ❤️
@@user-cp3xx1rk5g babyy, but please, when war ends.

I never would have been able to go to these places and know about their life styles - you are doing a great job- Thank you Eli
It's a lot easier to get around if you're working as a state propagandist, like this no-talent shill "Eli".

Maria was being a gracious host by including all the familiar meats, fish and foods from her region and explaining about each one. Maria was very sweet and Eli was a good sport trying each and every food whether she liked it or not. Very interesting and informative video. Thank you to Eli💕 and Maria💕
I love how patient maria explaining about the food and accepting your reaction
Hello ELI watching here in Philippines. We love your vlog and very educational.
Hello from Moscow, Eli 🇷🇺 Your videos inspire me to shoot on my channel
You're extremely brave, I don't think I could tried that.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I definitely think that Eli should have had a better choice of words. It’s very brave of her to try new foods that she’s not used to, but it’s also very vulnerable of Maria to teach someone about her home and cultural food.
What the hell is wrong with you crybabies? Eli has said often enough that food tastes wonderfully delicious. She couldn't get used to organ meat etc. and was extremely respectful about it. it is her right to express her opinion and not constantly kiss people's asses? Like yall need a reality check asap cause that's crazy
OMG. I love this kitchen already! Eli, you should have tried everything and only then ask what it was. Human kind was much healthier when we still ate all of the animal parts. There's enormous amount on vital nutritions in organ meat, which unfortunately most of us no longer eats.
These days unsafe to eat organ part meats because it contaminated with full of toxic anabolic and growth hormones causing cancers.
@@uzumate9976 yes, especially in Yakutia one might think. Don't be fooled by vegan propaganda.
This is really quite dangerously untrue.
@@Roseflowz On the contrary. What I find dangerously untrue is to deny 5 million years of human evolution and say you'll become a cow.

GREETINGS FROM SIBERIA WITH LOVE ❤️❤️❤️
Hola
@John g Siberia is a part of Russia. You're thinking of Serbia
@John g So, you don't differenciate between Siberia and Serbia but you know that Kosovo is part of Albania. Learn some geography and history to get some idea what Kosovo is.
❤
Hello from Ohio, USA.
I am used to people being uncomfortable with food that is not McDonalds, but I am absolutely enamored by Yakutia’s cuisine. Well done Masha
Maria is so polite and adorable!🥺
Eli, you were brave to try the food. If someone is not used to those kind of flavours, I believe, it’s totally normal not to like them at first.
In Italy we also have blood sausage and I think it’s common in other European countries like Germany. We also eat different parts of the animals, like tongue, tail, stomach, brain, liver and horse meat as well but It is not so common amongst younger generations though. My mother, when I was little, was told by the paediatrician to give me horse meat because it contains a lot of iron and it is perfect for people who suffer from anemia.
I really love raw meat, I think it is delicious.
I agree with Marty , horse meat in Italy is a regional thing like all our dishes , i' m from Veneto and in my region horse meat is very popular.
We ate everthing of the meat because our country was really poor and we couldn't afford wasting food.
For example i really love trippe (cow intestine) the taste is delicious but is a bit weird when you chew it , and every italian eat cotechino on new years eve and is made with pig leather , odd but we adore it.
Almost Every food is delcious if you know how to prepare and cook it.
Thanks to you both for realizing that our world is so diverse. I grew up very poor in the Southern US and would never criticize another’s cuisine. “Eat what you got and be thankful you got that”is what my parents would say
@@giorgio2909 You are so right, Giorgio! I love tripe as well. I fell in love with lampredotto when I was in Florence🤤
Btw, my mum’s family is from Veneto too and my grandma used to prepare fegato alla veneziana and my mom said it was delicious, unfortunately never tried it. I should learn how to prepare it myself.
@@toddhendley67 I am sorry to hear that! Your parents were right. We are also taught to be grateful for the food we have and not to waste it because there are still many people that cannot afford food and thinking that in some places people waste so much food, especially when it comes to meat, is so disappointing and sad.
Yes very kind lady and my love to Maria from Chennai,India.
Maria is lovely! So calm and honest. Thanks for this content, is very refreshing
I really wanted to watch this because I was genuinely interested in how they eat to stay warm in such cold weather. I was shocked and surprised by how rude you were by putting down their traditional food that is a part of their culture. Saying you don't like it is fine. Saying it looks disgusting and "oh boy, some more raw meat and fish" with a genuine look of disgust on your face was incredibly ignorant and it made me feel so sorry for the people that invited you to come into their home and show you their food, proudly. This is the first and definitely the last video I will ever watch on this channel. I will however go subscribe and like the woman who graciously smiled and still continued to be polite to you as you put down her traditional way of life.
Edit: People can disagree with me all they want. It is hysterical about the people who are stating everyone is too offended these days in reaction to my comment. You are the ones actually offended by every little thing if my comment on a UA-cam video about what I perceive to be good manners triggers you to continue commenting and arguing that it's just in the Russian nature to be straightforward. There is a difference between saying you do not like the food. Noone has the same tastes and I personally would care less if a guest told me they didn't care for a dish I prepared. However, shrinking up your face in disgust at the sight and smell of the food and calling the food disgusting as the host is saying this is a delicacy only served on special occasions and is a traditional food in their culture is flat out rude and ignorant and has zero to do with being an honest person and more to do with being a person who has no manners. So, agree or disagree. You can be an honest and straightforward person while still maintaining manners and grace.
I came here to comment the same thing! It was really rude :(
She liked over half the food. What’s she supposed to do? Lie?
@@elswae She obviously doesn't have to like everything, we all like different things- but using words like "awful" is not a good thing. How do you like it if people said that about the food you eat?
@@elswae She can say she is not fond of the taste of the food. Everyone has different tastes and that is perfectly fine. She was calling their food disgusting. This was traditional food that was a delicacy in their culture that they specially prepared for her to try. She called it gross before she even tried some of it. It was not about someone being honest and straightforward. This was someone being rude AF and having no respect for the person who just invited them into their home and cooked all the food that was special to the people of that region.
Russians are honest with each other. Hypocrisy in Russia is a negative quality.
The Kerchekh looked so good and creamy. I want to try one day!
Maria is so polite and adorable. Very lovely indeed 🥰
I highly adore and admire the respect and dignity you show towards the people you meet.
Often you see travel vlogs that become too ''funny''. Driven by ambition. You're a breath of fresh air compared to those.
You're authentic. I always watch your vlogs twice. Back-to-back.
Respect & dignity? She behaved the opposite to her gracious companion. I was cringing for her immaturity, rudeness, and apparent ignorance. Eating nose to tail is the norm in traditional cultures worldwide.
Bro that athlete in the open market was a legend I loved what he said about loving work, working hard and respecting people and that he raises his children to be the same.
Based.
I appreciate Eli’s sincerity - it is obvious that her intentions are good and to insult the other - very clever and charming woman. Maria is also nice and authentic just in another way. All people are different and everybody must be it’s real selv - this the charm of diversity. Go on - now Yakutsk is in the list of my future travel destinations.
I’m here because my dna results showed Yakut. So I want to learn about this place I had never heard of before. Greetings from the southern USA
Wow, that is amazing! In the early 17 century, there were some Yakut workers that came along with the russians on boats travelling along the coast in Alaska and all the way to California. They were mostly hunters and construction workers building forts for the Russians against the Spanish. Some Yakuts settled in Alaska and California for good marrying local native women.
Native Americans went to america from Asia in the last ice age Bering strait was frozen…so they could go easily to American continent…native Americans are related to Altaic, Uralic and sinitic people.
You probably have native american ancestry
Try another DNA place they'll tell you aboriginal Australia ha? try it if you don't believe me try 3 or 4 of these things and record their lies ok oh the main goal of this thing is to LOG ALL OF US to find that bloodline and get rid of it 👀 🤔 hmmm maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist too ha?

You are beyond a doubt one of the most, if not the most, interesting person on "UA-cam". I'm 84 years old and you have taught me so much about the Russian cultures. If it wasn't for "our" governments what a harmonious world this would be. Keep up your outstanding videos...educational and enjoyable!!
I learned a lot of Russian culture watching these videos too. Very fascinating.
It is amazing the extreme ignorance encouraged by the West about Russians from 1917-1991.
That is so cool that you are able to adapt to technology and use things like UA-cam to travel the world and learn new experiences. :)
It's harder to control a populace when they are inter-sufficient rather than dependent on an authority.

Eli should quit staring at herself in the camera and be polite and gracious to her friend that’s sharing her culture and cuisine.
Agreed it was making me mad 😭 look at your friend if she is talking to you and stop interrupting!!!
Yes, it was odd that she wouldnt look at the lady when she was explaining their food. i have watched a lot of her videos but this one was very disappointing
What the hell is wrong with you crybabies? Eli has said often enough that food tastes wonderfully delicious. She couldn't get used to organ meat etc. and was extremely respectful about it. it is her right to express her opinion and not constantly kiss people's asses? Like yall need a reality check asap cause that's crazy
@@julian6384Personally, I found it odd that Eli had a mental block going so strong on the cooked intestine-cleaned intestine is the casing for sausage, and sausage is very big in Russian cuisine. She’s eaten intestine before, but perhaps was simply unaware of it.
My guess is the “staring into the camera” is mostly because of limited options available for camera position in that room. Would you prefer to instead look at the back of her head?
In 2019 I visited Yakutsk. It really is an amazing place.
I am amazed how well you both speak English. I really enjoy learning about how you live.
Maria is a very generous and kind host. Thank you both for showing us so many interesting things about Yakut's lifestyle.
I know you didn’t mean to be rude at all! It’s just best to not complain about what they eat. I’m a Siberian girl from southern Siberia so I can not relate, but it’s always good to be mindful of the people who gave you the local food. They don’t have as many options due to the colder climate. Best act grateful for it
Where was she being rude?
Maria is so knowledgeable she does well as explaining the food and traditions. I would love to try their food. Saludos! From Minnesota.
An enjoyable experience. Well done eating the food that was out of your comfort zone.
The cuisine reminds me of Mongolian cuisine with meat and milk as the primary foodstuffs. I would love to try it.
Eskimos derive their Vitamin C from animal fat. Vitamin C is fat soluble, but decomposes in water. 😃😃😃😃
I am Sakha. Mongolian are our blood relatives. The Sakha were mixed with Mongolians at some point -- since living near the Baikal lake in the south -- before moving towards the north of the land.
@@John77Doe Really? When I was in Greenland (Kalaallit / Inuit) two years ago (as a seasonal worker) we ate seal soup, which was boiled seal ribs (meat and fat) with rice. They said it had a lot of vitamins. I've heard North-European metabolism is different (I'm a Finn), like it can't absorb vitamin c and d from meat so well, so I used every opportunity I had to buy fruits or dried fruits and frozen vegetables, though the locals didn't eat them so much.
Maybe some families ate raw meat and fat on their dinner tables more. Me and other foreigners were offered some to taste while our roommates were skinning a seal, and some frozen and dried traditional foods in parties. I also noticed that in parties, they ate some Danish meats, that Danes usually eat cooked, like ox meat and pork, frozen and raw.
Maybe this is a bit of a 'national health' issue though, like we Finns don't eat enough vegetables nowadays, maybe Inuit aren't eating enough raw foods?
@@raapyna8544 All I know is that a diet high in fish oil is not what prevents the Inuit from having a high heart disease rate with their high cholesterol diet. Inuits have a genetic mutation that allows them to metabolize cholesterol in a different way, so that bad LDL doesn’t settle down and form arterial plaques when you have high serum cholesterol. All those Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplements are doing nothing to prevent heart disease in the general population.
You can get Vitamin A poisoning from eating Polar Bear Liver or the Liver of a Dog. The Ancient Chinese discovered Vitamin A poisoning from eating dog liver and there is an Ancient Chinese Proverb about being able to cook with anything except the liver of a dog. So the Inuit are definitely getting lots of Vitamin A without eating carrots. The human body converts Beta carotene into Vitamin A.
Wikipedia says:
Some animal products, including liver, muktuk (whale skin), oysters, and parts of the central nervous system, including the adrenal medulla, brain, and spinal cord, contain large amounts of vitamin C, and can even be used to treat scurvy. Fresh meat from animals which make their own vitamin C (which most animals do) contains enough vitamin C to prevent scurvy, and even partly treat it. In some cases (notably French soldiers eating fresh horse meat), it was discovered that meat alone, even partly cooked meat, could alleviate scurvy.
Scott's 1902 Antarctic expedition used lightly fried seal meat and liver, whereby complete recovery from incipient scurvy was reported to have taken less than two weeks.
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
It’s similar in many to Hungarian.
Потрясающее видео, Eli! Продолжайте в том же духе, это было очень интересно смотреть))
I started following Maria’s channel back in 2020 and the fact that you two now appear within the same video blows my mind 🙃
Eli, thank you so much for posting. Very interesting and entertaining. I enjoy all your travel/cultural videos. It opens up the world to me. I won't let the trolls get me down and neither should you. Haters got to hate. Anyway, keep the videos coming. Poka' poka'.
🤩
Thanks for another excellent video!!
Maria seems lovely, peace and love from England!
Every time I watch a Yakutia video, I see those fatty pancakes with that cream and that jam ( I think it's jam) and my mouth literally waters lol. I just love this place and the people, the culture. They are just amazing, kind, strong, hard working people! 💯😌💜
I like Maria. She s unterstanding that their food seems weird. Interesting fact is, if you go to iceland or to Nuuk in Greenland to try traditional food, you also get tons of weird food. Bloodsaucage is not so uncommon.
Hello from Las Vegas! I give Eli a lot of credit for even trying everything. Most Americans would not even attempt to try any of these dishes. For me, everything looks wonderful and I would have wolfed it all down! I have a very easy and open mind pallete though.
I love how Maria's cuisine is all natural and based on the season and availability of animals, weather, etx. Nature and culture is SO fascinating to me ❤❤
Eli, I travel through Russia from your videos. Thank you for educating me on the people, food, customs. As different as it may seem, we are more similar. No matter what culture, civilizations will use the entire animal for food, maybe just different preparations. I sure appreciate your videos- they're facinating!
Beautiful video.. I love it. You two ladies are a great pleasure to watch. This was really interesting.
Elena said the "boiled guts" ("offal" in English) looks "awful." LOL. She's the best and has the reactions to and questions about things I think I would. Maria is so nice too. Actually, "blood sausage" is traditional food across much of Europe. Blood pudding in UK, Blutwurst in Germanic areas, etc. My German language professor in college said in the old days, no part of an animal went to waste, esp. nutrient rich parts like blood. Thanks for your videos, very educational and enjoyable :)
Hello, I live in Yakutia and I can say that the Asian peoples of Russia, as well as other Asian peoples, in particular the Chinese, Koreans, have a culture of eating all edible parts of the animal's body - heads, tails, hooves, internal organs. People reason like this - if an animal sacrificed its life in order for me to be full, I am obliged to eat this animal as much as possible.

Thank you Eli for hosting a lovely video together with Maria !!! Of course the food was strange to you, but you did well at tasting the different dishes of Yakutia ! I’m following a mostly carnivore diet which is meat, fish & eggs together with dairy (milk, cream, butter etc) & this diet encourages organ meats like liver ! The people of Yakutia are correct - this is the most nutritious kinds of food to eat - well done on them ! Blessings to you & Maria 💝🌷
Hey Ms. Eli and Ms. Maria!! Your resemblance is remarkable! Are you sure you're not twin sisters? Or first cousins! This is cultural shock: The food mart is like an open freezer! Is there frozen ice cream? The cold and the local food just seems to make people look younger with beautiful skin! Thank you for the tour!
Eli is Tatar and Maria is Yakut. They are both Turkic. But yeah, funny coincidence that their bone structure so similar
@@user-3aa6234fh Hello LS! Stunning! They are both personal and very pretty! Cute actually in character too! Thank you for your insight!
They look similar because they are both 'cheen ponn'.
I'm vegetarian... I finally got the umpteenth confirmation that life in such a cold land would be extremely difficult for me, especially due to this food issue. Thank you, anyway, for another top-quality video!
It would be almost impossible for you to live there. I only knew one vegetarian in Yakutsk that survived on mostly beans and rice, potatoes, cabbage salads etc.
@@NatalieVasilyev a lot of quantity and good quality have to be those foods to provide the fat that a body with extreme cold around it would normally need. yes, catch a good pneumonia can be fine.
Vegetarian from India, I would have to eat meat if I went to this place
I'm not a vegetarian but looking at that food, I'd be a vegetarian there...
@baltasarmelchor935 Most certainly. You must burn a lot of calories in that environment just to stay warm, let alone remain active.
Thank you so much, Maria and Eli, to make us discover this exciting part of the world.
It’s disrespectful that she isn’t facing her . She is clearly trying to genuinely interact with her and she is asking questions ingenuinely. And she is slightly offended a few times based on her facial expressions….the host is very patient
I love Maria’s personality
In Argentina the guts of the cow are called "mondongo" and boiled and served in traditional dish called "locro" and blood-made sausages are also common there and they are called "prietas"which are served with boiled potatoes. In Argentina people eat tons of meat really.
... and still so short?
Mondongo is part of a famous dicho in Mexico..."No es lo mismo el mondongo de tapachula que tapate bien el mondongo Chula" jaja Mexican humor
Salamat in Filipino means Thank you! It's nice to know that the porridge is prepared during special occasions like wedding & house blessings. Learning a lot bout Yakutsk culture specially their food. 😍❤️🇵🇭
salamat in Arabic means greetings
This is the most interesting program Ive seen in a very long time and it has onspired me to visit Yakutia. Lots of love from Australia😊
