I love your comment! If elders have pain and can't sit down on the floor because it's harder to get back up, where do they take their food if they want to eat together with the rest of the family?
About 50 years ago, in Panaji, Goa, India: A Group of young African students were checking out the market place, when one of the girls shouted out in excitement when she saw that tapioca was available. Laughing, crying and chatting away, promptly planned to cook those dishes they had missed for years! The boys among them were lucky to be invited to the cookout! From that day onwards their spirits were lifted! Some days later one of the boys offered me raw crushed tiny bits of tapioca, which was a regular snack during their childhood days! I was warned only to taste a few bits and chew very carefully, judging that I would not have the acquired ability to digest it! It was nice knowing my African friends!
I work at a large US university and we have a day where all of the international students make food from their countries. The African counties ALWAYS have the best food. Wish I could go visit and eat it in Africa.
Here in the Philippines we use banana leaf to put our food too especially when we have no water supply for doing the dishes and other household stuffs.
I never thought about how eating with your hands and from organic materials can actually be useful for saving on water when it's scarce, that's fascinating. Thanks for sharing the knowledge
@@valeryasteel4167 How would eating with your hands save on water. It's more the opposite. Especially in those areas it's not so healthy to skip cleaning your hands. There are some nasty worms you shouldn't ingest. Banan leaves might be okay as long as they have been heated aswell.
does the bana plant has a certain taste that can transfer to the food? I know some cultures make dishes with plant leaves wrapped with fillings. so I'm curious if the flavour is transferable :)
I hate living in the west sometimes. I believe we should all be living like this still. A simple meal with your loved ones outside in nature, with our feet on the earth. Beautiful 🌏
Most countries were until the Europeans took it and colonialized everything . African tribes have beautiful traditions. I’m from Puerto Rico and we sort of have a little bit of African traditions mixed in lol. So beautiful.
@@nevaehb2279 It sounds like you're bringing in blame towards Europeans when there was no need for that. To me it kind of gives a holier than thou feeling as well.
As an Indian I confirm, sitting down and eating with your hand is so much more satisfying and dignified. :/ Why should only Western etiquette are supposed to be seen as dignified and better
Whos said "only Western etiquette is seen better" ? Ive never heard that. I think its natural that a world as big as it is, that there are different ways of life. Not necessarily better/worse, just different.
Indian and African culture are so similar 😭❤ we also eat on banana leaf with our hands. I hope that someday I'll get to try African food, it looks so delicious, lots of love from India ♡

Especially my reservation being so small but right in the middle of everything, everything is so modernized and often unhealthy.

You start it, host a lunch once a month or on whatever days or events are sacred and limit people to only bring traditional food. Hopefully it'll get picked up as a result

Why so special? Its just eating, there are other ways to spend time with the family. Not everyone eats at the same time even in your own family, some people work while you are sleeping so they eat separate. You can still enjoy time with family by making a family day walk or activity scheduled. Also not all family members can be together at the same time, people can not always gather all together at once.

I'm from the South Pacific Islands and in my country we cook our food in and wrap our food in a similar manner with banana leaves. This made me think of my island home❤
Africa has 54 countries, 7500 cities with 2000 languages… Where exactly you want to go??? Start studying! Every place is different here. Africa is not a country.
I am fully aware that Africa is a continent! Saying I want to visit Africa is much like saying I want to visit the US or America, you could mean a particular state, but when you say America, you might mean Canada, USA, Mexico, Central or South America. Okay, my friends?🫶🏼
Guess it was a bird that recorded and uploaded this clip? Family time and offline life is very neglected, and it is terrible for people and society. But it's about finding a balance, like this lady. Utilizing technology when it is beneficial, but not centering it. Just declaring "phones bad" and "no tech good" is overly simplistic and just ends up sounding like a Boomer yelling at clouds.
i mean i dunno how this video was taking right? magic uploaded to internet by magic? these comments crack me up how exactly do you know they have no tv???because you didn't see one haha
Can you imagine all the goodness being infused into that food from the leaves. Anthing not eaten can go back into the earth. Barely any rubbish to dispose of too, so much better for the earth. The sun shining , eating together as a family, living the simple life. Sister you are blessed!

Not for long. Once the corporations finish stripping the land for monetary gain, and squeeze us into smaller and smaller spaces, this will be a luxury in 1 or 2 generations time...we are having our rights to nature, clean air, water etc taken from us.
@@plutonium2 her whole channel actively works to debunk negative images of Africa. Like legit I never ever see a family get together and have a meal in a healthy beautiful setting in the media. The only time I see an African woman or child on TV is when it’s a poor mother holding her almost dead child who is deathly thin. I’m not saying these issues don’t exist but man the fact that we ONLY see that side in the mainstream leads to ingrained stereotypes that we are raised with. I obviously knew the entire continent wasn’t destitute but literally until social media I never saw positive “normal” “mundane” moments of African families
@@_beep_boop_ no you’re right. So fascinating and depressing. One of my closest friends is Ethiopian and her stories about village life make me so JEALOUS. But she’s also a doctor in a beautiful home here. I think because I made a similar journey (from Ireland not Africa I should add but plenty of nonsense ideas about us, too!) and to me those two sides to a person are so normal. But you’re right. Sadly there are countries and continents others can’t absorb. I live in Australia now and Americans regularly ask about the animals like we have kangaroos running down the streets and wombats in our garden.
Love this! I would actually be interested in watching longer videos. I’m so curious about the different flavors and ingredients. More than will fit on the short video. Thank you for sharing pieces of your culture.
This video is heart-warming and life-affirming. What's missing is the complaining that so many Westerners do, with all their fancy electric gadgets, about how hard life is. 😅 This is your life, and you do what must be done as a matter of course, not as a drudgery. He who does not work, does not eat. Thank you for showing us how to make a simple meal with peace and a warm heart, and no "gadgets."
In Italy we call It:"Polenta", but we Cook the flour in hot salted water and we eat It directly before It became full solid, with meat, fish or vegetable.
Wow fascinating. I didn't know that you had this in Italy. Some countries make it thick and where i come from its not so thick and we eat it with different relish, beef, vegetable, chicken etc
One of the beauties of our continent is that as a Mozambican I am familiarized with what is portrayed in the video. There are some differences but a lot of similarities. We are a community ❤
I went from wanting to live a luxurious modern life but once I came to such an environment I realized that I actually appreciate where I come from. My childhood was one of the best ones especially when I visited my (now late) grandma at the village often,
Ngl looks like tamales, we make them on a pan in the UK, but in guatemala we had the proper equipment and we cooked it in a comal, traditionally they are wrapped in leaves that add flavour.

It feels like having picnic time with family while enjoying greenery and fresh air. I bet this will be such a good memory when everyone growing older. Thank u for giving us how life is from different side of this world.
Memories. I am Caribbean and I remember childhood summers. We grew up with indoor amenities however, we would catch rabbits and fowls and cook them outside on wood and stone stoves. You didnt dare mess with your parent's kitchen😅😅. The work was hard, long and lots of soot and sweat. We took turns over the fire pit. One of my favorite was Sunday after church putting raw nuts cashes/almonds/peanuts in sand in a pan over the fire pit and roast the nuts. Oh, I also loved making sugar cakes (ground coconut, brown sugar, almond essence, nutmeg, cinnamon and whatever food coloring of your choice,some with nuts and without) they were so delicious and fresh. I would not ever do this again but the memories are beautiful. I am my mom's only daughter with 3 brothers but I used to love doing the treats with her on Sundays. RIP mammie
Adding to the previous commenter: In Uganda they call it Posho. It’s eaten with some kind of sauce (generally that is often how food works in UG: some kind of carbohydrate with a sauce). I believe they are eating beans as a sauce in the video!
M.from.India, n why this looks little similar to our traditional food ?? 😅😅 we make such thing with maze flour n garlic n green chilly, it tastes so damn awesome❤❤
When I went to Fiji, we had Kava with locals this way, night time, all seating around in a circle, passing around the bowl and telling stories...Unforgettable experience

Yes, some wealthy remain true to morals but after awhile the golem leaders black mail them. Make them do horrible things so thier vibration will lower n blam....not them anymore. You ever see celebrities with one black eye?
U should research that n much more.
I have known rich n heard the rich.....not happy!
Ppl think money n fame will make u happy.... but thier too, do u know any celebrities that are happy or are they tired from making the golem leaders richer?
Heath Ledger once said Nobody ever ask if ur happy? Ppl assume they are but they are scared n tortured.
To me this made me happy.
I couldn't be rich, I'd give it away.
I don’t live their n I’m happy n healthy what makes u think living their makes u happy n healthy? I’m guessing the HIV n malaria people get over there doesn’t make them happy.
I love these is so wholesome and satisfiying to see other people cooking and eating
As a UGANDAN LADY that was a very nice and healthy lunch after digging and fetching water in the village ❤❤❤❤❤❤ .miss my home 😊
I was thinking the same thing
So beautiful. The colors are so amazing and the ground looks so safe. The trees it's like living on a paradise with none of the white noise we hear all day and night.
The extreme heat they have there would make me miserable.
The fact that she balanced that pot well makes her a 🌟 star
I'm still Supriya by how she's able to switch between the two worlds and looks so at ease and competent with her African background. I remove hat 👒 for you, African princess ❤
She’s on the internet, though. Just because she/they have retained some of their traditional lifestyle doesn’t mean they’re primitive and have not adapted.
Is because she is not ashamed of who she is and she is content with being herself
@@lolitafalana as an African living in Africa, I know what primitive looks like and what adaptation looks like. I know why I appreciate her seamless transitions
You are indeed an African queen my sister may God Jehovah Nissi bless you.
That's absolutely right! 🌅🌴🐺🐑All, one day, soon enough, a Paradise! Uh, huh! ☺️Real Peace, wonderful food from All Cultures in Abundance!
Looks so good! And it’s nice with to see a family eating together ❤️
Fully organic,no chemicals best food.
And zero waste
Lmao you would believe that wouldn’t you.
@@bdee1084 what
Everything is a chemical
uh what? you don't know that lol
Could you make some more videos like this? Like share traditional recipes or traditional outfits and what the pieces represent in your culture. I love your videos and I would love to learn more about your language, people and culture.
yes plz
This right here!!!
Recipes plz
Ooo yess I love videos like that!
when all you have is yours, from nowhere else, and enjoying it with the sense of belonging. not only watching but feeling it. love from Somalia
I'm from the South Pacific Islands and in my country we cook our food in and wrap our food in a similar manner with banana leaves. This made me think of my island home❤
Que bella señora, con su familia. Que bonito es ver a la familia unida siempre juntos. Dios les bendiga siempre 🙏
That looks so good! Thank you for showing a different way of life than my own. So simple and free I love it.
Blessings to you all!
Please show more like this!!! Thankyou for the glimpse into your culture!! ❤❤😊😊
This has made me feel homesick. Reminds me of my late parents.❤
So pure, so natural, one with the earth.Because they are part of the earth.❤❤❤💯💯
Omg those huge leaves are so neat, I love seeing the way food is made around the world
Oh my the sweetness of this Posho aka Ugali. Just the Aroma
Can you tell me more about this food?
Specially ugali na mboga za kienyeji
Mwana gwe the aroma!
Posho aka ugali
I love this. I love authentic African tradition. Just like our African ancestors.
I want to visit Africa, our homeland, someday. ❤
Africa has 54 countries, 7500 cities with 2000 languages… Where exactly you want to go??? Start studying! Every place is different here. Africa is not a country.
I hope you're are aware that Africa is a continent and not a country. Not all African countries are this backward.
I am fully aware that Africa is a continent! Saying I want to visit Africa is much like saying I want to visit the US or America, you could mean a particular state, but when you say America, you might mean Canada, USA, Mexico, Central or South America. Okay, my friends?🫶🏼
No tv, no cell phones. Just family bonding.❤
Right... No cell phones. Btw. How exactly you think she made and uploaded this video, genius?
Guess it was a bird that recorded and uploaded this clip?
Family time and offline life is very neglected, and it is terrible for people and society. But it's about finding a balance, like this lady. Utilizing technology when it is beneficial, but not centering it. Just declaring "phones bad" and "no tech good" is overly simplistic and just ends up sounding like a Boomer yelling at clouds.
i mean i dunno how this video was taking right? magic uploaded to internet by magic? these comments crack me up how exactly do you know they have no tv???because you didn't see one haha
Omg..my kids would starve if I had to do this. God bless these women for their strength..love...beauty. You are amazing!!!!
Having family time… family that cooks togther , eat togther stays happy
So many similarities to South Indians- the mat, the green banana leaf, seated on ground, eating with hands, boiled rice- long live our humble culture
Because dravidians came from africa and retained the culture
Can you imagine all the goodness being infused into that food from the leaves. Anthing not eaten can go back into the earth. Barely any rubbish to dispose of too, so much better for the earth. The sun shining , eating together as a family, living the simple life. Sister you are blessed! Living my dream life there....im stuck here in england wishing i could live a life like yours....dont listen to the haters, you have the riches ❤
Not for long. Once the corporations finish stripping the land for monetary gain, and squeeze us into smaller and smaller spaces, this will be a luxury in 1 or 2 generations time...we are having our rights to nature, clean air, water etc taken from us.
I would absolutely cherish a week in this setting. Seems so refreshing
I need a year 😂 in this setting
Legit this channel is single handedly destroying so many ingrained stereotypes I had about Africa. One of my favourites on this platform 🙌
One pleasant video doesn't speak for the whole of Africa either. That's willful ignorance.
What stereotypes are being busted by this video? Honestly curious
@@plutonium2 her whole channel actively works to debunk negative images of Africa. Like legit I never ever see a family get together and have a meal in a healthy beautiful setting in the media. The only time I see an African woman or child on TV is when it’s a poor mother holding her almost dead child who is deathly thin. I’m not saying these issues don’t exist but man the fact that we ONLY see that side in the mainstream leads to ingrained stereotypes that we are raised with. I obviously knew the entire continent wasn’t destitute but literally until social media I never saw positive “normal” “mundane” moments of African families
@@brutalhonesty8134 no shit.
@@_beep_boop_ no you’re right. So fascinating and depressing. One of my closest friends is Ethiopian and her stories about village life make me so JEALOUS. But she’s also a doctor in a beautiful home here. I think because I made a similar journey (from Ireland not Africa I should add but plenty of nonsense ideas about us, too!) and to me those two sides to a person are so normal. But you’re right. Sadly there are countries and continents others can’t absorb. I live in Australia now and Americans regularly ask about the animals like we have kangaroos running down the streets and wombats in our garden.
Village life where my whole story begins ❤❤
My family and I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant not too long ago, the food was delicious, they too, eat with their hands... it was wonderful
Love this! I would actually be interested in watching longer videos. I’m so curious about the different flavors and ingredients. More than will fit on the short video. Thank you for sharing pieces of your culture.
This video is heart-warming and life-affirming. What's missing is the complaining that so many Westerners do, with all their fancy electric gadgets, about how hard life is. 😅 This is your life, and you do what must be done as a matter of course, not as a drudgery. He who does not work, does not eat. Thank you for showing us how to make a simple meal with peace and a warm heart, and no "gadgets."
In Italy we call It:"Polenta", but we Cook the flour in hot salted water and we eat It directly before It became full solid, with meat, fish or vegetable.
We call it “kawunga” in Uganda or “Ugali” like the rest of our East African brothers
Wow fascinating. I didn't know that you had this in Italy. Some countries make it thick and where i come from its not so thick and we eat it with different relish, beef, vegetable, chicken etc
Here in Nepal 🇳🇵, that food item is called 'Dhido'. We Nepalese love Dhido. ❤️
At home ( Uganda) it's called posho
@@rahmaahmed4129 it's not rice, isn't it?
That definitely looks like ugali or more informally named fufu. It's good with a hearty soup, cooked greens (cassava leaves)....
I will NEVER respect the process of anyone’s cooking as much as these blessed people 💪🏻😎🙏🏼..
I was thinking “do they cook outside during the winter?” and then realized my mistake.
😂😂😂😂 no winter in africa
We have rainy season and dry season 😂
One of the beauties of our continent is that as a Mozambican I am familiarized with what is portrayed in the video. There are some differences but a lot of similarities. We are a community ❤
I am from Ethiopia and I am familiarized with so many of the things as well. Different countries, but we have so many common things. One Africa ❤
Me too! I am Nigerian 🥰🇳🇬
I went from wanting to live a luxurious modern life but once I came to such an environment I realized that I actually appreciate where I come from. My childhood was one of the best ones especially when I visited my (now late) grandma at the village often,
Ngl looks like tamales, we make them on a pan in the UK, but in guatemala we had the proper equipment and we cooked it in a comal, traditionally they are wrapped in leaves that add flavour.
That looks simple but delicious. Exactly my kind of food. 😃 Hope I get the chance to try one day
What is it? It looks tasty.
We love Indians too.. very noble people. Thank you for being beautiful and warm to all.
Oh my goodness, this reminds me of home and I am feeling very home sick right now. You can take a girl out of Africa, but you can't take Africa out of the girl. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video my sister, stay blessed.
I would love to visit Africa one day 🩷
It feels like having picnic time with family while enjoying greenery and fresh air. I bet this will be such a good memory when everyone growing older. Thank u for giving us how life is from different side of this world.
Such a beautiful country. Please tell me what's being cooked. I don't know anything about your wonderful food.
Must be amongst some of the most resourceful people in the world.
Memories. I am Caribbean and I remember childhood summers. We grew up with indoor amenities however, we would catch rabbits and fowls and cook them outside on wood and stone stoves. You didnt dare mess with your parent's kitchen😅😅. The work was hard, long and lots of soot and sweat. We took turns over the fire pit. One of my favorite was Sunday after church putting raw nuts cashes/almonds/peanuts in sand in a pan over the fire pit and roast the nuts. Oh, I also loved making sugar cakes (ground coconut, brown sugar, almond essence, nutmeg, cinnamon and whatever food coloring of your choice,some with nuts and without) they were so delicious and fresh. I would not ever do this again but the memories are beautiful. I am my mom's only daughter with 3 brothers but I used to love doing the treats with her on Sundays. RIP mammie
Living this way is so satisfying and stress-free
That’s why consumerism and capitalism thrive. To convince people this way of life is wrong and they need saving
I wish I was there with them ❤
No chemicals , natural food . Living close to nature . How lucky are these people . 😊❤
Is it ugali ? I made an internship in Kenya during one mounth and its was soooo magical 🥰
Yes its ugali
Nothing like a meal wrapped in banana leaves! Love being African
I just love how they all eat together in the same leaf😊❤
From scratch...🔥❤
Just love it❤
Can you explain what exactly this dish is. Like what is it made of etc. Please❤
It's made of maize flour
They just mix maize flour with boiling water
They call it ugali in Tanzania
@@deepikareddy3262 ohhh woww i really love learning about new communities.
Adding to the previous commenter:
In Uganda they call it Posho.
It’s eaten with some kind of sauce (generally that is often how food works in UG: some kind of carbohydrate with a sauce). I believe they are eating beans as a sauce in the video!
@@vivigoesusa you answered my question! I asked what the sauce is. Also I have seen fufu before I'm not sure it looks really good
Kenya 🇰🇪 pia ni ugali 😂😂😂❤
you make me want to VISIT UGANDA SO BADDD. im in Love with the sense of community in this entire video
We have similar like this in Karnataka as well..
I miss my friend who bring me a ugale an African maize the way she cook.its so amazing she's from Kenya
Ugali
Her skin is so clear. She's beautiful.
Nothing like sharing a meal. 💛 What’s the name of the food you made?
I think its fufu
Posho
Ugali?
@@lunamoo8 fufu is made from cassava flour but this one is called posho or Ugali made from Maize flour
@@agnesug3836 oh thank you did not know that. Learning new everyday 🌝
Beautiful people cooking beautiful food!
I love your content! You have taught me a lot of cool, admirable and amazing things. I love that you guys value community 💕
M.from.India, n why this looks little similar to our traditional food ??
😅😅 we make such thing with maze flour n garlic n green chilly, it tastes so damn awesome❤❤
my favorite food proud to be an African from Uganda
Love the song. Brings certain nostalgia vibe of your childhood days in happy African town but in reality you never were raised in that land. 😅
Africans, the ancestors of Mankind 🙏
I love you, country of Uganda, please don’t ever change ❤
These are the best meals! Reminds me of my childhood. We ate like this sometimes on Saturdays.
Oceans of blessings y'all
When I went to Fiji, we had Kava with locals this way, night time, all seating around in a circle, passing around the bowl and telling stories...Unforgettable experience
Now that is a community ❤
Yummy village life is creative
