    Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire - From the very northwestern corner of Côte d'Ivoire, we’re continuing our journey through the country in Korhogo, known for its unique food and especially high quality meat. Today we’ve been invited to a local home to cook some of the local Senufo tribe food and eat some of the best grilled mutton you’ll ever have.
    Senufo tribe - Mo and I headed to a local home to cook a few different dishes including Joro, which is a unique green sauce made from pounded peanuts and bean vine leaves. It was definitely green tasting and quite a healthy dish. We also had another few dishes including bambara groundnuts which were some of the best beans I’ve ever had.
    Choukouya - One of the greatest of all West African street foods is grilled meat and I’m talking about choukouya, this one made with grilled mutton. Korhogo, Côte d'Ivoire is known throughout the country for raising some of the best quality and tasting meat, and I can assure you of this. They had a huge logfire going and they were roasting fresh mutton over the fire. When you order, they slice all the meat off the bone, and serve it with onions, fresh chilies, and kankankan seasoning.
    Boloye Dance of the Panther - Finally we went to see one of the original Black Panther dances. It was one of the most fascinating displays of acrobatics, and chanting songs I’ve ever heard!
    Another absolutely incredible day in Côte d'Ivoire! A huge thank you to my friend Mo Soumahoro from Belle Côte d’Ivoire ( / bellecotedivoire ) for arranging my trip and setting up everything.

Tchonron, so healthy! 🥰 The Bolloye (Panther-Dance) was beyond amazing. 🥳 Some Hip hop historians have given credit to this tribe for break-dancing, they are the originators. The film Black Panther was also partially inspired by this tribe, I invite you all to visit the Ivory Coast!

Sad that in the USA most of our meats taste much diffrent than naturally fed Meats. Too much steriods in out grocery store meat you have to go in debt to get good Meats and greens from whole foods. Or grow your own. LOL..Good eating.

      Mark didn't go to the poshest places but he did not deliberately seek out the worst spots to push a narrative of negativity.
      I think people are learning. And UA-camrs like Mark will always be welcomed warmly while others like Drew (who ate food off a vendor and put it back! Ewwww!) and the dude with the red headband will be rejected outright.

      @@MarkWiens The privilege I feel in being recipient of your time is great!! (I don't know whether to play the lottery or to start a business) Am so glad you're fine! Please continue to take care of yourself in all these invaluable virtual experiences you bring us all. I read someone's comment stating your videos are documentaries, I thoroughly agree!! You are giving wisdom not only to different races but also to single race's with indifferences (ignorance) between them. May you be blessed for all that you do knowingly and unknowingly. (We want you to always remain healthy, if I may kindly say, please don't be hesitant in setting terms of health (hygiene) and safety most especially during eating. I was concerned for you when watching one of your videos, it is fine to share a bowl but it is not right to share bodily fluids.
      Forgot to say, the little girl snatching the 'Kaaba' fruit had me scared and giggling at the same time. ✨🌶️✨

    My sister has a best friend who is from Zambia, which is towards southern Africa, I've always wanted to see Mark travel to Zambia so I can see more of my sister's best friend's culture since they live in another state and I can't visit them often. I've also wanted to see Mark come to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas so I can cook Salvadorian dish for him lol!! Here in the Rgv, it's primarily a Mexican culture since we're so close to the border. However, we also have the influence from Texas cuisine like BBQ and other US dishes.

    Pour faire le kankankan on utilise une pâte faite a base d' arachides frit et séchés on l ' appelle kourakoura ou koulikouli que l ' on écrase finement on ajoute du gingembre moulu, du piment sec moulu, des assaisonnement poivre , bouillon et du sésame frit .
    Du soumbala aussi selon les régions.
