    🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
    Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
    If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

      Trying out, save for cannibalism, anything available that ties into the culture he's diving into is quite literally in his job description.
      Not to mention he did so very reluctantly.
      Rather, it seems like the low IQ individuals had a very strong negative opinion about it. No offense. :)

      It's not my cuisine, but predators are not intended for food because they eat sick animals, and when you eat a predator whatever viruses they have will now jump to humans and animal viruses mutate faster in humans than in animals, because the animals immune system can deal with it and not like us humans. There is a health risk to themselves, and anyone they come into contact with if they become ill from eating certain animals. And yes people cats and dogs are predators and shouldn't be eaten especially if they go outside or wander about outside because they kill and eat other animals! This is how SARS came about, H1N1 and diseases like this. And this is FACTS, you can ask any scientist, doctor, or virologists! And you can't change FACTS!

    Great vid Sonny! You truly are a cultured man. Much respect. You were hesitant in trying the lion and was honest about it. Your reasons are justifiable and what I love about your show is you are humble and respectful of others culture even if they differ from your own. Being sincere and grateful for the efforts that Mr Fernado presented you with the lion meat, you still ate it like a true champ and it shows on your face. In some cultures, refusal of another’s offering of foods and gifts shows a lack of humility. Thank you for spreading cultural awareness and diversity all over the globe one dish at a time.

I've eaten squirrel and that's pretty much a rat that lives in a tree lol.

    عزيزي
    للمرة الأولى و بعد مشاهدة عشرات قصص المأكولات "المقبولة وغير المقبولة " اجد نفسي مجبراً لتوجيه تحية من قلبي لكل ما تنتجه من قصص ورحلات..
    Keep your effort showing us the best of the best which you are always Does

    I appreciate your willingness to try all foods. No matter what others might say or think.I love your show. Thank you for the great entertainment and humor. I was actually shocked that you had never tried Llama before. You really need to try it in ground form. It's absolutely delicious.
    Hope to see you soon!

    No matter what you do in any arena of life, someone will ALWAYS be upset. I appreciate your respectful way of navigating the difficult cultural differences. I love experiencing other cultures and their way of life!

      This is more than cultural. Cultural is one thing… Animals going extinct is another. We need more lions in the wild not in farms.
      Cultural or not. Not cool.
