Flight tip: If you are given the option of a "western" and traditional meal on an airline, always choose the western one when leaving the airport, and the traditional one when coming back.
The food is prepared at the country you leave from, so you'd want to choose the meal that makes sense from where it was prepared!
That's is smart tip!!! Tnx.
So camembert on cracker is traditionnal food from Chicago?
@@etienne8110 thats not what he said but ok
@@scr3am273 That was just a joke...
But he ate Ethiopian food on the second leg of his trip, which took off from Addis Ababa Ethiopia. He ate authentic Ethiopian food.
I used to be a wedding photographer in San Diego...out of the 400+ events I covered I would have to say that my first Ethiopian couples wedding was one of the more memorable ones...
Both the bride and the groom were over 2 hours late for the vows :) :)
But after the formalities the entire wedding party and guests went over to Mission Bay Park where the families had set up a few small tribal style tents facing out into the bay...
3 of the tents were dedicated to food and the 4th was reserved for the bride to greet family and friends for short personalized visits...
They had also arranged some musicians...they played traditional drums and some odd looking wind and string instruments.
The weather was perfect (San Diego), the guests wore super colorful clothing, the music had everyone dancing until the police came by and told us the park was closing, but for me...the food was the highlite of the day...I don't even know what I ate mostly but...the flavors were all fantastic IMO.
Those photographs were some of my favorites during my 24 year "career" ...:) :)
Bpt confirmed
Gee I wonder why their economies are so unproductive
I'm Cameroonian and have flown with Ethiopian Airlines a lot as well as Kenyan Airways and am so proud of these two African carriers. I've never flown business class but seems really dope. Wow,6000 USD is already money that could start me a huge business or even build a small,cozy house in Cameroon
yeah, it's a lot, and all of this doesn't justify the price, it's a shame
Ethiopian Airlines! I have memories of going on an Ethiopian Airlines 707 in 1979 (or 1980?) when I was 7 years old. I was travelling with my mum and brother from London Heathrow to Rome via Paris. Due to a bomb scare the flight was delayed for 24 hours. Strange, though being so young and loving planes at such a young age, I loved the flight and the delay. For years I remembered the beautiful colours and the planes interior including the seating. Around the middle of the plane, 6 seats on both sides were facing each other with a table in between (some passengers therefore flying backwards). Amazing memories..
I have seen you eat the spiciest food in the world.... But Champagne is what gives you heartburn.... Hahaha Sonny you are so special. You and your team are a national treasure to be protected at all costs! Haha
Spicey food doesn't give me heartburn either but black pepper does
Haha I thought the same thing :p
It's the sugar
global treasure*
Agreed 👍
My happiest memory of my honeymoon was Ethiopian food. My husband and I found a tiny restaurant close to our hotel and it was our first time trying traditional Ethiopian food. We love cultural food and was so taken by the food and staff that we ate there 3 times in one week. We never found another truly authentic restaurant again once we returned home. We returned 5 years later happy to find that they still existed and enjoyed the food that gave us so much joy!

@@myzeri18 i’m going to be living in fl soon, do u mind telling me the place?
@@didyoupr4ytoday Queen of Sheeba if I remember correctly.
Where are you living now? There's a good Ethiopian restaurant just about anywhere
I'd be so upset if I paid $6,000 for a flight and some dude was just recording a video right next to me and wouldn't shut the hell up for the whole flight 🤣
I mean he obviously didnt speak for the whole flight just during meal times.
Honestly with the plane noise the whole entire time and those mediocre meals, I wouldn’t mind having a personality sitting next to me
The flight is 14 hours so he didn't speak but at the beginning of his flight and during meals. I'm pretty sure he asked first.
Could have given the extra to save a starving family and got a.normal flight. But that wouldn't have been possible for the video
@@pathart8854 why can't he do both? As in Taking the flight he took and still help a starving family, what does he have to give every dollar he has away and let his family go hungry?
Ethiopian food is like drugs.
It’s addictive 😍
Also, the Mitmita is probably heroin with Cayenne pepper, otherwise I can’t explain why I keep eating it despite not loving spicy food so much. 😍🤣
And injera is a miracle onto itself.
It’s so chewy and cloudy because the doe is left to ferment for several days and the pancake ends up being airy and gluteny - but the original grain (Teff) is absolutely gluten free.
My first time eating Ethiopian I thought I’d be in pain afterwards from all the bread and spicy food, but I felt light and got hungry again pretty soon.
It turns out it’s the most hypo-allergenic food ever.
The only down-side is that the companies who sell both injera and the Teff flour tend to stuff is with other things. So sometimes your injera might come with some percentage of wheat flour, which is justified as “westerners might like it more that way” - but in fact, unless the injera is badly fermented - it’s the best doe ever and no additives needed.
And the four - they add sand to it, either that, or they don’t wash the grain before milling it..so as much as I used to love Teff flour, I stopped eating it because I was tired of crunching sand…
And the meat dishes (all the watts 😍), and the simplest thing, like Gomen (which is a specific green they eat, but you can make it with almost any collard green. It just tastes like it was freshly picked and healthy… and it’s al Liron the spices and cooking method.
And the potato dish that I forgot the name of. Just some comforting potato (probably cooked in ghee), with turmeric. That you put on the injera after the spicy foods. And the red lentils…
Omg. Just go try Ethiopian and you won’t regret it. (But bring your own sanitary wet napkins and toilet paper, the toilets in Ethiopian restaurants I’ve been to are… well… scary).
Geez I don’t know which restaurants you’ve been to and where you shop for products, but I promise you you just happened to find the bad ones. It’s mostly not like that
I was born and raised in America but my mom is from Mozambique and dads from Zimbabwe . I haven’t been to Zim since I was 2. Im 30 now and beyond excited to see the upcoming episodes 🙌🏿

Ethiopian food is hands down one of my favorite foods ever. We have a small restaurant in South Dakota that was on Triple D called Lalibela that we go to all the time. So delicious!

@@KatieGurl09 ah man! I’m on the opposite side. I will definitely look it up when I visit there. Thank you.
I’ve been there too and it’s amazing! Small world lol 😂
@Jonas Smith ???
Ethiopia is by far my favorite place to visit. The food, the people, the country, all beautiful. I was spoiled by the food, and even the best Ethiopian restaurants here (I've been to many...East Coast mainly) don't compare...some have come close. However, we have long time Ethiopian friends/family here in the states, and in their home is THE ONLY place that gives the same taste and quality. It is like in Ethiopia, it is all "homecooking" no matter where you go. I miss it so.
As an Ethiopian, I can certify that there was only one luxury Ethiopian dish in this video 😂
What's that white creamy stuff that look like mashed potatoes??
@@nenadpopov3601 Im not sure, but it’s not Ethiopian food
Are you saying sliced lunch meat isn’t luxurious in Africa either?
@@bobpope3656 meat (like most every animal products) is generally expensive in the continent as far as I'm concerned
@@sarahhernandez4800 It is Ethiopian food.
I have always wanted to fly Ethiopian Airlines, Singapore and Emirates airlines. I absolutely love Ethiopian food
Best airline in Africa,I've heard.
Don't do SIA
@@ar_l_rvo.o5356 why lol
i love the food on emirates! on two separate trips, they gave us a sandwich +a brownie in economy and it tasted pretty good. i'm not a sandwich person at all, but for some reason i remember that sandwich tasting really good, lol. maybe i was just really hungry? but they did give us the sandwich AFTER a meal, when it was getting late iirc! the service is great too! singapore airlines has good service as well, food is pretty decent and i remember being given haagen daaz ice cream (sorry if i spelt that wrong hahaha) their food on japan flights are my favorite! if you're on business class in singapore airlines, if you ask for instant noodles they'll give you an entire porcelain bowl with vegetables in the soup. got a free upgrade once and getting a bowl when i was expecting a plastic cup gave me a shock HAHAHA
I travel twice in Ethiopian airlines and i love thier food
I love seeing your videos when I'm able to get online. I'm currently homeless, but watching you travel and see all these places makes me feel as if I'm experiencing it, too. Thank you for being so passionate about everything and making these videos.
Wow, what an amazing comment. Where are you homeless? I think that UA-camrs like him should donate some of their income to feeding people especially because they waste a lot of food.
Hope whatever happens you’ll get back on your feet soon 💗
@@adriennefloreen I think you should donate your money. You are quick to spend other people's money. 🙄
@@cornealdata3843 I am quick to spend other people's money? That is a really weird thing to say. I don't have money to donate. Maybe UA-camrs with millions of subscribers should donate their money they make off of food videos to poor people who cannot afford food. I do not know why you think I have plenty of money or other people's money to donate to something. I cannot even afford to make important repairs to my house or car. I'd ask for donations on my channel but I've found that people's general opinion is that it is absolutely OK for rich and famous UA-camrs like Sonny to ask for donations but highly immoral for me to ask for donations. That is why I removed my links to sites like Patreon from my demonetized channel. Please, explain your comment and opinion, I do not understand this phenomenon.
@@adriennefloreen Brother, even if you do not have lots of money. You can donate 5 dollars a week. If everyone donates such a small amount we could put a dent in world hunger. Also,you do not know anything about this youtuber. How much money he has? Have you seen this bank statement? I just do not when people ask others to spend their money and you donate nothing. I am poor too. I work two jobs to support my self. One thing I learned is the world owes you nothing. If you want to change the world start with yourself. Start with 5 dollars. Practice what you preach before telling other people to donate.
I was one of the first passangers on Ethiopian Airlines when it first launched and it was such an amazing experience. I had previously taken 2 other middle eastern airlines that were below average in comparison :( not everyone was treated so well. The Ethiopian Airlines hostesses were so kind and welcoming and smiled warmly constantly. It was amazing 👏 💕💕💕
Did you fly on Etihad or Emirates??!
Big cap 🧢 Ethiopian airlines started in the 1940s
@@martinsokute9882 maybe she was one of Hitler's homies and he set her up a flight
You mean lunched it’s first flight from your city? Because Ethiopian airline was founded on 21 December 1945 and commenced operations on 8 April 1946, expanding to international flights in 1951.
Cap
I ate at an Ethiopian restaurant once. I absolutely loved the food.
One of my favorite memories from Ethiopia is having tibs made on a mountain. Some of the best tibs I have ever had (with fresh injera after seeing a batch being made!)
I hope you enjoyed the national airline of my daughter's homeland of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is an absolutely amazing country, full of rich culture, history and food variety. Ethiopian Airlines is also a world class airline we love flying with.
Its not your daughter, you paid an agency to have her human trafficked 🤮
AWESOME video seeing what types of food served on that type of airline. love it
I just found your channel and i really like how positive you are, even when things dont go as planned you take it as it comes and dont focus on the negative, I also like how you explain and describe everything so it feels like we are there with you
Got so confused when the caption read “Harare, Ethiopia” at the end I was like this boy flew Ethiopia to Ethiopia? 😂😂
Thought the same, a little editor mistake :)
Addis Abeba, Ethiopia. Harare, Zimbabwe. Yeah it was a surprise to see Harare, Ethiopia.
@@Vighter76 yep
Imagine being stuck behind him with no earphones. Man that would drive me crazy
🤣😜
Nothing a shoelace can't resolve.
@@perdbeer6713 💀
He was incredibly annoying in this one
He only spoke for like 8 minutes on a 14 hour flight.
How would that drive you crazy
I love these videos not just for the food that I havent ever experienced but the way he is able to make friends wherever he goes....like how insane is that that everywhere he goes he just has a way with people that makes them feel comfortable despite recording stuff hes doing to share with millions of people
I am so proud of the Ethiopian hostess who served you. She recognized you that you are a food traveler.
"It has a syrupy strawberry topping". Pretty sure that's the guava syrup then, because guava is fruit. 😂 Very popular in desserts and drinks in Mexico and Central + parts of South America and the Caribbean I believe.
I thought this was pretty funny too. Guava and cheese is a delicious combination that is served in a pasty from my favorite bakery chain in Los Angeles, Portos, which I believe is from Cuba.
All good until something is lost in translation and guava becomes guano.
Yup. Guava is amazing. Had a lot of guava jam growing up in Jamaica
Also very popular in the Indian subcontinent
It would be great to have you come over to our country, Ethiopia, soon. It's stable now and all the beautiful cultures along with some of the most delicious food you'll ever eat await you!
Tell him to visit Tigray as well and maybe Afar, heard it was the safest place in all of ethiopia, the experience will be triumphant

We don't want him to visit Ethiopia this jackass because I heard them insulting Ethiopian airline pilot on his Egyptian video.. he called the Ethiopian pilot junk pilot...😡
We really need the Ethiopia episode, such an underrated cuisine.
Ethiopian airline the new spirit of Africa. Keep shining. Best airline!!
My Ethiopian ex coworker used to bring her traditional food to work for lunch. I wish I had showed more interest. Now I just want to try it! I’m Jamaican, so I don’t mind spicy food.😋 It’s on my bucket list to try Ethiopian and Nigerian food.
Just for a tip, you can come here after like 6 or 7 weeks because we Ethiopians are gonna be celebrating our version of Easter & you can be able to experience a good culinary tradition that mostly involves meat as the cristian people will be fastening /no meat👀/ for 2 months before Easter. Anyways if your thinking of coming to Ethiopia then that's the right time to do so since you can be able to experience the whole shebang.

Im originally from Rwanda but went to high school in Zimbabwe. Love that country its like home to me. Now reside in Australia. Can't wait to watch your food experience there.
How's Australia? It must have taken some getting used to after Rwanda and Zimbabwe.Lived in Melbourne and Adelaide a couple years,loved it.
Khing david, Zimbabwean here 👋🏾good to hear a positive message about Zim
Awe I'm sorry u are in Australia right now.. would rather be in Africa lol
Ethiopia airline is The pride of Africa by far the best in keep The customers happy beautiful Cabin crew,delusion food ,affordable prices, hospitality,smooth flying,this experience you africa One flight Et best in Africa travel by Ethiopia airline you experience one of the best thing about travelling
Delicious food not delusional 😅🤭
I’ve been binge watching your channel all week. Thank you for the amazing content BUT ALSO for proving that no matter where in the world you are, people have more in COMMON than they don’t. Despite what the media so often portrays, this show proves that if one can respect differences and see them as an opportunity for growth/adventure, we’d ALL be better as a planet! 🌎
This is nuts!!! So cool. I love you man! So cool to watch you enjoying your job. Some of it is hard but that is also fun to watch.
I definitely love how honest you were about this whole exspirence so genuine Bro !
i'm happy you enjoyed our Ethiopian cuisine, it's one of our best cultural food and hope you will try some of our amazingly delicious foods in different parts of our country ,,
That' sponge brain bread is some of the coolest stuff you'll ever eat.
About 10 years ago, I all but fell into an Ethiopian restaurant and found that stuff.
The meals I had from their takeout were some of the most unique and delicious I ever had.
Sonny: *is a "food expert"*
Also Sonny: is guava a type of cheese?
Welcome Sonny to my homeland Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 , lt has always been my dream having you here. Thank you , looking forward to seeing your amazing videos. Much appreciation 💛 here in Zimbabwe
My beloved home country Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Love Ethiopian Food injera with Mild split peas, spicy chicken is my favorite food, unlike other grains like wheat, barley, and rye, teff which commonly beak the flat bread injera is gluten-free. This makes it a good choice for people who have Celiac disease or are sensitive to gluten. It can substitute for other flours that contain gluten, like regular wheat flour.
Be careful most Ethiopian restaurants in the USA are cheap and their injera includes wheat flour. Always ask first if you are gluten sensitive!
Looking forward to your Zimbabwe videos. Have never been, but it's on my list. Ethiopia, and its food, is amazing. Hope you have a chance to actually spend time there sometime in the future.
Oh, and they didn't forget your bags. With barely any time between your connecting flights, there was no way they were going to be able to get your bags from one plane to the next before it took off. Hope they showed up promptly on the next flight.
It's amazing, that airplane food looks delicious. It's good that you enjoy it. You take fantastic shots of the sky and your expression of happiness in sharing it is genuine.
Can we get more airplane meals? The food they serve at different airlines and destinations are really interesting! The ones to Japan served instant ramen and haagen daz ice cream as a midnight snack.
When the world needed him most .., Sonny never disappoints 👏
Yay! We,your Zimbabwean viewers are excited for the 🇿🇼 episode
I have flown Ethiopian airlines and I love the hospitality and the food. Injira, lentils dishes with spices hits so close to Indian dishes mainly Dosa and daal/pulses. Also, love their beef stew.
Need sooo many more of these airline food reviews. As a ‘real food’ reviewer, taking the piss out a airline food is hilarious.
Which airline food is great?
I just wanna say, I flew ECONOMY on ethiopian airlines and still got great service and food(twas prepackaged but not bad for airplane food AT ALL). Tis a great airline
Watching this while eating my dinner here in Perth Australia 🇦🇺 🦘
This is really interesting, different, ... and pricey! 🤑
Great video mate 🤘💜🤘
Babe try injera at Mirabooka
I enjoyed every min of this video! I love it keep it up! And thank you for flying ET! From Ethiopia
Etiopian food looks good would like to try !!
The food looked amazing. The seating was really cool. Thats a long time on a plane and pretty costly. Glad you made it safe and look forward to the next videos. Was fun to watch. Great video
That pretzel turkey sandwich with some of the tomatoes and some of the vinaigrette lettuce would have been amazing
Great video. Thanks man
Watching while fasting. a Very good idea.
So nice of Sonny for including the guy on the plane in his video!

I watched this video to watch you eat Ethiopian food, which is one of my favorites!
Im so happy yr reviewing our food luv ya man😂🥺
Looking forward to the Zimbabwe series, it's got to be amazing!
Always travel Ethiopian Air. Must admit even economy class the food and service is amazing. Their food tends to be amazing for most diets. Pity the first meal you had wasn't as amazing as what you get between African countries.
I love Ethiopian food! I only had it once, but I felt super light and comfortable after it, and now I'm craving it again! 😅🤤😁

First time joining the channel. Find it awesome 👏
Ahhh, my dear sweet Sonny, "Bless Your Heart"! The Guava cheesecake wasn't from Guava, the "strawberry" topping was probably actually guava fruit, LOL!
Sonny come down to South Africa and Eswatini, would love you show you around and show you all the things we have to offer!
I could never eat that much food. Glad I found your videos, very enjoyable. Can't wait to travel again.

For those who haven't tried the spongey looking bread.
It almost tastes like a lemoney pancake but spongey and not sweet, they are really good and super addictive tho (super filling as well
I have never had Ethiopian food so thanks for this video! Alwasy enjoy watching them, keep up the great work Sonny and team! #Iamonabus Cant wait to see the next adventure!!
I don't know where you are at but Los Angeles has a Little Ethiopia with a number of restaurants. There are a few Ethiopian restaurants elsewhere in the city.

I love Ethiopian food! It’s so good!
More Ever Best Food greetings from Calgary, Canada.I'm very excited that you visited Addis Ababa, my favourite city.
Love seeing how you handle the turbulence
It's impossible to say which scheduled non budget airline is the best. In my experience most of them are very good but Ethiopian is certainly in the top 5.
Wow, I haven't been on a plane in 17 years, a lot has changed! For $6k, I could do a lot. I could take two trips. That's insane.
Generally flights are cheaper. I got round trip to LA from Denver for $200.
I've been Watching this since 2018 love this.
Well done Sonny. Nice video, as always. It just needs a slight change of the caption at 13:06. It should be Harare, Zimbabwe, rather than "Harare, Ethiopia". 😊
His editors are retarrrdes
Thank you ! Noticed too
Wow! That will be my dream vacation trip to. Ethiopia. Love the food, good people and reach traditions as well. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I used to travel for work and have my expenses paid. I mostly travelled by train, and 1-st class vs cheapest ticket was usually a hot towel, a coffee and a snack. For that, you paid twice the price. Well, I told my company to not book that but just buy the cheapest ticket for less than half the price (I think it was 1/5th the price), but allow me an extra stipend so I could pay $6 for coffee and a snack before I boarded. We are talking about several hundred dollars savings per week. Well, company said no. So I required 1-st class tickets after that.
tl/dr: If you are an individual, don't bother with 1-st class. But if your company wants you to travel, tell them you are very weary of travel, and need "business level accomodations", otherwise you simply can't.
Of all the food shows you're the best!
Looks good. You earned my like and sub.
Man, I miss Ethiopian food. Such a cool, unique cuisine with their Injera.
"is guava a type of cheese?" Is the funniest question I've ever heard😂
yes finally sunny have considered to come to Ethiopia you are welcomed here a lot to try by the way
Delicious yoga mat....straight out of the gate🤣. You flew to Harare, Zimbabwe...I am from Zim.🇿🇼
