    Remote Côte d'Ivoire Village Food - We’re continuing our journey eating our way through Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) in West Africa, and today we’re in the very northwestern corner of the country. Mo is taking us to his parents’ home village for some extreme local food and one of the most fascinating cultural celebrations!
    Sananférédougou (goo.gl/maps/wgnV2FBBXnQJZ2Sj6) - We’re starting in Sananférédougou where we were welcomed by the entire village singing and dancing. They cooked a number of dishes including a porridge and the main meal including a whole guinea fowl with millet and locust bean. What an incredible meal, everything local and prepared by hand.
    Kotoula (goo.gl/maps/tNytc4HdPBgi3X897) - After our first meal we then headed over to Kotoula, where again we were met by extreme hospitality, dance and singing, and a dozen different local foods cooking all at the same time. There was smoked rabbit in a number of dishes including one of my all time favorite west African foods; peanut stew! I was completely blown away by the celebration of their culture and incredible food.

    Thank you so much Mark for showcasing the beauty of Africa. My mum and I have been a fan of yours since 2017, your vlogs promotes humanity, tolerance and love for everyone. The way you integrate with different cultures and traditions is expectational. I wish everyone in the world was as down to earth as you. I’m also from West Africa, precisely Freetown, Sierra Leone. It will be a great honour if you could visit Sierra Leone.

Just so you get the best of your efforts, be sure that 'authentic' Gambian dishes are made for you ie no adaptations from Senegal or Nigeria. The Gambia is quite free flow making now the clothing, language and food all diminishing in originality. The Gambia are next to or indeed within Senegal and so have almost all things the same yet it is fact that the language and food has always had differences. As you've been to Senegal (great tour ✨) the food in The Gambia will look the same but there will be taste variation due to ingredients added or ommited and cooking steps or ingredient processing method. It would be beneficial to discuss this with your host prior to your arrival. 'Plead' for local authentic food hahaha. Thank you again, be blessed always 🙏🏽✨🍲🌶️🌶️

The intensity of the real chili, the vibrant dances, and the warm community welcome paint a vivid picture. Witnessing the meticulous preparation of local delicacies, like the guinea fowl, with utmost authenticity is truly captivating. The curiosity of the children and their genuine interactions add an extra layer of charm to the experience. From perfecting the porridge to the unique cooking techniques, every step showcases the cultural richness of these communities.

    Mark this is the beauty of Africans-we are very welcoming and accept visitors.
    This acceptability and welcoming culture made us vulnerable during the colonial era but our love of welcoming is in our blood.
    Mark enjoy with your family.

    OMG!!!! Mark you are a Food Eating Superman, I heard Ivory Coast's Odienne region is hotter than summer in Spain and you ate spicy food there? Those super hot local piment? You are a Super hero of spicy foods. I admire your courage for going so deep in an African country. Most Westerners are afraid even of the capitals. BRAVO!
