The way Mussa is dropping pieces of the goat on Mark's side of the plate is the ultimate sign of love and hospitality in Africa. Well done to my Senegalese people!
There is also the fact that kids aren't supposed to touch any meat or anything in the middle of the bowl. Adults will roll portions to their side, teaches discipline.
this is amazing , reminds me of my life when I was small in the old country , this is great , you got your organic meat and livestock , family and home cooked meals rural lifestyle I can vaguely remember my childhood , watching leopards chase wild sheep on the mountains with binoculars , I was too young to use a binoculars so I didn't see much except when the leopard jumped on the sheep , I also remember finding caves in the mountains with clean running water filled with crabs and shrimp and plants growing on the walls and small waterfalls with cliffs on either side and shallow waters with fruit plants growing everywhere with cliffs all around , I still remember the day I found a crab and I brought it home and we ended up eating it one day after a few days we had a small sun area in the living room , kind of like a green house in the dinning room that was used as a small pond area , instead of plants we had water , I put the crab inside and the first thing it did was eat my goldfish , its amazing how fast the claws catch something, I had two goldfish one black and one orange , it ate the black one which I think was a male goldfish and the orange goldfish kept trying to attack the crab to save the black goldfish but the crab would not let go , and I could understand since the crab was hungry and I had not feed it anything because I didn't know crabs eat meat but there was nothing I could do , so we decided to eat the crab , I didn't want it killing the other goldfish
Mark, you went beyond where most Senegalese urbans limit themselves too. Your guide Pape is excellent! I'm so proud to see you made through the deepest parts of my country. Now I'm jealous seating here in New York :( Well done

This is why I got mad respect for people like Mark Wiens. He's just one of those people that he has genuine love for all cultures no matter where they come from. This man doesn't have a hatred bone in his body. He seems like one of the most humble, genuine, down-to-earth people you could ever meet. And Senegalese food is one of the most underated solid cuisines in the world!! Man I need to try some!! 🇸🇳🇸🇳
I couldnt resist on commenting on this mark wiens is an ambassador for all peoples around the walled regardless of ethnicity or background and senegalese cuisine meals are the best around the whirled i only been to dakar once i remember the chebujuenne i eaten there was the best. My mom is gambian my granny from yoff senegal and i am english british now on england but i only eaten african meals such as fufu soupa kanja casavas & beans with fish, plantains jollof rices, garis etc the best ever delicious meals i wish everyone tasted these meals they pobably would be like mmmmmm and my favourite meal ever ever ever is kenkey a ghanian meal
Peace to all the God's in Africa, I'm still gonna want my own plate or bowl to eat out of. That is custom's of my ancestors being bought over to America in salve ships and not trusting nobody. I didn't learn togetherness we learned separateness and stay away from me and I will eat alone. Never trust a blood clot. 💯.
Am Somali too We r like all Africans... we eat as they eat ..we cook as the cook No difference, lol N, we love our African brothers. we r very proud to be Africans
@halfmanhalfamazing7392 but now u r not slave u r like then u can learn yr African ancestors traditions like eating togetherness with yr hands I mean no spoons.. And we love u guys to much cz yr r our Family .all Africans r Family Keep yr mind that ..U r welcome HOME
this is not just a food review video, its a educational video where it teaches us how people can be happy in rural with very little to have and how strong their cultures are. Thanks Mark.
As a Jamaican, I feel a sense of pride watching people from my homeland, sharing our beautiful culture and cuisine. Mark, that your son is there with you, sharing the experience, demonstrates your true love for food and the things that we are share as humans. Continue to share the love.. For all cultures.. Respect bro...
Ray I just visited Mobay for the first time a couple of weeks ago and the first thing that caught my attention was the similarity of jamaican and west African hospitality. As a Senegalese I felt right at home. Can’t wait to go back. 🙏🏾
That's our culture. here in senegal we eat around a bowl and by education the children do not have the right to touch the middle of the bowl but we bring them everything
In Senegal when you’re a visitor too, when you’re eating, your host will cut vegetables, meat and fish and give it to you. You can see it in the video, Moussa is giving meat to Mark all the time instead of eating normally
Call me crazy, but I don’t watch this channel for the food. I watch it for the wholesome human connections you make with all different kinds of people. I am most envious of this opportunity to be apart of peoples lives. Keep up the good work.
You can do that everywhere. Even in the place you grew up in. Start interacting with people with. Kindness and share your love..Care about them!! Make friends forever. Showing God's love.
Omg same for me! I can only continue to pray that we all can love and respect each other on this level… I pray that one day I can travel around the world to meet different ppl and just spread love 🙏🏾❤️
The amount of work that goes into preparing this food is astonishing. My mother is Ghanaian and when there is an occasion, my aunties, cousins, Grandma will be preparing food all day. My 95 year old great Grandma was still pounding fufu back then.
From watching the episode where Mika was born to hearing him speak while you eat food in an African village, a testament to you and Ying's parenthood despite all the traveling/pandemic ect. We are all at a loss to you for continuing to show us your great work, the impact of which transcends beyond food blogging. You are doing more good than you know. Thank you my friend.

Ohhhhhh couscous de mil!!! Having lived in Senegal for 4 years, I miss the amazing amazing food and of course "Teranga" of Senegal. The hospitality, the sens of sharing the little they have, the sens of togetherness..... to my brothers and sisters of Senegal, thank you for showing the world what humanity is all about.
Finally celebrated Eid in Senegal on July 10th after 23years abroad, and let me tell you : that is one heck on an unforgettable experience! The amazing food, seeing your near and dearest family members all under the same roof is pure heaven. Thanks Mark for displaying the homeland with such grace and humility. God bless ! Cheers from Sweden. 😁🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾🍗🇸🇳
@starrbowie8649 I assume it changes the flavor perhaps preventing bitterness. I'm not quite sure but people foam coffee for that reason too I believe. Same for Matcha.
My little Senegalese heart is so happy to be watching this series. Sharing the beautiful food culture in Senegal is the reason I started writing and sharing recipes. There isn't enough English sources for Senegalese cuisine and I want to share it's beauty with everyone!
This is why, as a Jamaican, I really love Africa , especially West AFRICANS. Why? Because most of the food they eat is 100 percent organic, no GMO. They have different kinds of veggies and fruit. This is beautiful African culture, they eat together as One people, family is very big deal in Africa, especially West Africa, no separation, no discrimination, no processing food.
My people OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!! Thanks for sharing. To prepare our food is day long activity. When the food is done, the flavor you'll never forget. I just love how Mika gets to enjoy and gets exposure to all different cultures
I love how people make an effort to make Mark feel like home. I'm sure Mark doesn't need people to prepare fancy things for him. He's extremely humble.
Mark Wiems is a true gentleman. Love to watch his videos! The way he and his family honor the people and their cultures is inspiring. I dont think they have a rasist bone in their bodies.
Maybe not Mark: Ming still has some doubt though. You can see it through the silent actions. A ton of RUclips creators do not include their sig others. Negative vibes.
So blessed to have found Mark's channel. Have met Bishop Tutor Bismark in Pgh, Pa. and wanted to learn more about Senegal. God bless you Mark, I love your wonderful kind loving Christian spirit. A shout out to your parents, they are the reason you are so kind and loving.
I love how Mica is growing up to be a good communicator. What a lucky kid, maybe doesn’t know it yet but the wealth of education he is getting right now from his mom and dad is amazing and such a hhhhuuugggeee privilege.
This is what educates and brings peoples of the world together! Exactly what we need! Mark you’re such a pioneer in letting us into the homes and kitchens of people worldwide. Places normally never seen before from the outside world .Such a joy to see your experience !! Many blessings 🙏❤
I love how these women take their time and work together, as well as you can see the love when they make food . Not rushed and making sure its done great. Love this
Love Senegalese culture, very similar to south/sudanese almost identical! That breakfast is called Walwal here in South Sudan and its made exactly the same way and eaten with milk, beautiful, kind and graceful people. Love from South Sudan!
So internet made it all known that most sénégalese people originated from South Sudan thé fact that WE share the same food IS another proof. Personnally speaking, I am a sénégalese wolof mixed with arab blood And i have lived in The US and everytime i met south Sudanese people it felt like i had a connections with these people even though they could not recognize me as one of their own with my skin tone. Sharing ancestors is truly something spécial
Hello Ayak You are 100% right the similarity is striking and I believe that mostly the sereres tribes originated from south Soudan. height, skin tones and facial features. Myself on my mother's side I have serere blood. And funny enough wal wal means to mix / shaking. We're one people. Bless you my friend
The Senegalese people are so warming treating marks son as their own, breaking his food up for him! So beautiful to see humanity and love isn’t completely destroyed
I watch this Senegal segment often. As an african american, I feel an affinity for Senegal food and its people. I also loved how Mica enjoyed the food and the environment as well. I will visit in Jesus name Amen.
OMG, never thought you'd make it to my homeland, Senegal. We use mostly Millet for bread, cakes, and porridge among others, not really wheat. Couscous is called Thiere and doesn't have to be fermented. You brought home to me. Thank you.

*Mark you are a kind soul...thank you for sharing this video...hearing Mika in the background enjoying the food/experience was so precious...Blessings to this beautiful family for opening up their home and sharing their feast & hospitality with us* ✨❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✨
Mussa gestures can only be found from tender loving parents. That was heavy! And what an amazing display of love and unity among the women! Man, I love your people!
Yes it’s communal effort a family that eat together stay healthy together these are just natural & fresh ingredients that are organically produce that they are adding to the meal Mark you’re the best foodie person that takes your love of food to everywhere to share thank you Mark and crews OMG that got to taste amazing. I am jealous seeing the beautiful naturally ripe mangoes which come straight from the tree to the table wow
Kids do not pretend. He loves the food and said he could eat it everyday. Pape is a good tour guide and Moussa's hospitality is top notch. Your channel has been giving me the ideas...wow...
Honestly as an Amazigh , the Senegalese couscous,tea and host serving first bites of meat to guest made me so excited 😱❤️and makes me want to visit. I have to believe we are connected after seeing this❤️from 🇲🇦 to our brothers and sisters in 🇸🇳
As a Gambian that resided in Morocco for about six years, I was blown away how close our cultures and traditions were ❤ btw the Senegalese and Gambian cultures are exactly the same

Your ancestor JUBA ONE OR JUBA 1 is related to Amazigh or Amasilli ancestor MASSINISSA of Mauritania Caesarea in today's North West Africa. JAMBA JOBE. Y JOBAJUBA. JAMBA SAPNA BATUM SAHRAIN!
Interestingly Morocco was the first time I tried Senegalese food (Best jollof rice ever). I saw a lot of Senegalese people in Marrakech and Essaouira. The restaurant was called Le petit Dakar in Marrakech.
Mark Micah saying I can eat this everyday Melted my heart. You are raising a wonderful young boy. He's learning so much about cultures thanks to you. Keep the videos Coming Mark :) Thank you! Greeting from British Colombia, Canada
In Africa, it is said that the truth always comes from the mouth of a child. So when your son says he could eat this dish every day I believe him and everyone should because the child knows neither hypocrisy nor wickedness. Thank you Mark you and your family.
@@atongba-techs4645 God bless. Unfortunantly, so many lost.... by the time you realize it your responding to a troll....No worries... everyone around the world could understand what you were saying; Speaking truth.💯
This is not just a food review channel. This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰🥰
Showing a side of Africa everyone needs to see. I appreciate him displaying his respect for these Africans and their culture especially with his family. Love every moment of this🙏🏾
This series seriously makes me homesick - even after moving out of Senegal 17 years ago. That onion/mustard sauce is of the legends. Can't wait to go back for their food someday... 😭
So proud to be Senegalese. Since I was little,the best part of Eid for me is the liver dish after breakfast. I still do the same thing in the USA. The great thing is I can have the millet boulet already made, dried and packed and they can be stored for a very long time.
Micah is absolutely following your footsteps. not just enjoying and relishing food but also his expressions !! this is the best education any child can get. knowing different cultures, different cuisines, people rituals, festivals. God bless your family Mark and also the families that feed you with so much love.
I just love the ambassadorship you bring, and the culture connection. So uplifting and encouraging, when different cultures eat food together. Loved this. Such a gracious family. Thanks, Mark.
Mark is not just any traveller... Travelling, eating, vlogging, exploring and still smiling the best smile... I watch all his vlogs for the food, the culture and his smile... God bless...
You are so flexible Mark.as a Muslim I'm so happy to see how other countries celebrate their Eid..Mark thanks for sharing this with us...BLESS You son.....🙏🙏
As a senegalese myself, I'd like to thank you for presenting the culture like that, because this idea of sharing is disappearing particularly in large cities like here in Dakar Btw that meal looks dope I've never had it before
This video made me so happy I'm in tears. I wish I could smell that food cooking!!!! When Mark slurped the tea I just thought that he seems to have a child's spirit. So untainted by the world. But really, it's just because Mark is such an exceptional person. Thank you for another beautiful video!
This makes me want to visit Senegal. Cooking is similar to Trinidad. Thank you for showing us,your ways of cooking and allowing us to enjoy your home and family.
The way Mussa is dropping pieces of the goat on Mark's side of the plate is the ultimate sign of love and hospitality in Africa. Well done to my Senegalese people!
Oui c'est dans la culture au Sénégal, surtout quand on a un invité, signe d'hospitalité pour qu'il soit bien à l'aise pendant le repas
@@yeshouaisthelord829 its the same hospitality that got us colonized
@@md2v4 lol tu n'as rien compris
There is also the fact that kids aren't supposed to touch any meat or anything in the middle of the bowl. Adults will roll portions to their side, teaches discipline.
Beautiful ❤
The fact that Mark’s son is eating with them is dope. That young man is learning so much more in life than a classroom can ever do for him
I agree 💯
@G Mac true. but that is a wisdom vs intelligence argument. both are important.
True..he will grow up to be a good human being who will have respect for every culture
maybe marks son should review the food, as he is not high...
@@realuniverseinside1809 are you high? Grow up.
this family is so wealthy.. I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about how they enjoy life and the warm of family
Micka's little voice in the background: "I could eat this everyday!". Sooooo cute!
Like father like son
Yesss!
He's already reviewing food and following in his dad's footsteps.
this is amazing , reminds me of my life when I was small in the old country , this is great , you got your organic meat and livestock , family and home cooked meals rural lifestyle
I can vaguely remember my childhood , watching leopards chase wild sheep on the mountains with binoculars , I was too young to use a binoculars so I didn't see much except when the leopard jumped on the sheep , I also remember finding caves in the mountains with clean running water filled with crabs and shrimp and plants growing on the walls and small waterfalls with cliffs on either side and shallow waters with fruit plants growing everywhere with cliffs all around , I still remember the day I found a crab and I brought it home and we ended up eating it one day after a few days
we had a small sun area in the living room , kind of like a green house in the dinning room that was used as a small pond area , instead of plants we had water , I put the crab inside and the first thing it did was eat my goldfish , its amazing how fast the claws catch something, I had two goldfish one black and one orange , it ate the black one which I think was a male goldfish and the orange goldfish kept trying to attack the crab to save the black goldfish but the crab would not let go , and I could understand since the crab was hungry and I had not feed it anything because I didn't know crabs eat meat but there was nothing I could do , so we decided to eat the crab , I didn't want it killing the other goldfish
He makes every human being proud of others' Country
It’s the son saying “I can eat it everyday”. Mark is really raising him to understand and love different food and cultures. Love it!!
Children will always tell you the truth - the food must be delicious. African food is full of flavour
If you ever ate jollof (thieboudienne), you would understand.

Great to hear you lived in Senegal!
Thanks for sharing your beautiful story about our home country, you are clearly one of us and we are one humanity. Love from Senegal
Your comment is so sweet thank you ♥️
Finally celebrated Eid in Senegal on July 10th after 23years abroad, and let me tell you : that is one heck on an unforgettable experience! The amazing food, seeing your near and dearest family members all under the same roof is pure heaven.
Thanks Mark for displaying the homeland with such grace and humility.
God bless !
Cheers from Sweden.

Can you let us know why foam on the tea is important. Thank you in advance....
@starrbowie8649 I assume it changes the flavor perhaps preventing bitterness. I'm not quite sure but people foam coffee for that reason too I believe. Same for Matcha.
@@salvatorenostrade3331 Thanks very much!
I am really glad that you appreciate the culture of the country of the Terranga🇸🇳🇸🇳 and our senegalese gastronomy
Dieuredieuf🔥🇸🇳👊
Mate next time you write dieuredieuf in English so that he can understand what you mean love from gambia 🇬🇲
My little Senegalese heart is so happy to be watching this series. Sharing the beautiful food culture in Senegal is the reason I started writing and sharing recipes. There isn't enough English sources for Senegalese cuisine and I want to share it's beauty with everyone!
I really fall in love with your culture and I hope one day I will be able to visit this country maybe find my roots there 🇸🇩🇸🇳
When the two gentlemen place the meat in front of Micah with such care. Made my heart just smile. Their warmth can be felt through the screen.
This is why, as a Jamaican, I really love Africa , especially West AFRICANS. Why? Because most of the food they eat is 100 percent organic, no GMO. They have different kinds of veggies and fruit. This is beautiful African culture, they eat together as One people, family is very big deal in Africa, especially West Africa, no separation, no discrimination, no processing food.
East Africa food is banger too but our entire continent is just full of taste
No, because the land is very polluted.
Ok
Thanks for such a lovely observation. You're very correct 💯
You have a west African obsession go live there
Very sweet how the men were giving Mark and Mika bits of goat meat. Sign of hospitality and respect for their guest.
I'm Namibian 🇳🇦 and Senegal is most definitely on my list of African countries to visit
Te invitaré si querré dios en Senegal país de hospitalidad
What a beautiful display of hospitality MashAllah, good wishes from Bangladesh to Senegal.
I'm Senegalese and my best friend is from Bengladesh
My people OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!! Thanks for sharing. To prepare our food is day long activity. When the food is done, the flavor you'll never forget. I just love how Mika gets to enjoy and gets exposure to all different cultures
Pas de sucre
Senegal never disappoints, much love to my Senegalese brothers and sisters❤❤❤
I love how people make an effort to make Mark feel like home. I'm sure Mark doesn't need people to prepare fancy things for him. He's extremely humble.
Senegal, the most beautiful county 🇸🇳 🇸🇳
are u from senegal
Thank you
Mark deserves a huge upload for taking his family to the less familiar places in the world and appreciate their culture!
Mark Wiems is a true gentleman. Love to watch his videos!
The way he and his family honor the people and their cultures is inspiring. I dont think they have a rasist bone in their bodies.
Maybe not Mark: Ming still has some doubt though. You can see it through the silent actions. A ton of RUclips creators do not include their sig others. Negative vibes.
So blessed to have found Mark's channel. Have met Bishop Tutor Bismark in Pgh, Pa. and wanted to learn more about Senegal. God bless you Mark, I love your wonderful kind loving Christian spirit. A shout out to your parents, they are the reason you are so kind and loving.
Thank you very much Ronel!
I love how Mica is growing up to be a good communicator. What a lucky kid, maybe doesn’t know it yet but the wealth of education he is getting right now from his mom and dad is amazing and such a hhhhuuugggeee privilege.
@Jed Reston I whole heartedly agree with you!! I am an educator and not everything can be "book learned".
Thank you so much Jed!
That baby is growing, he was only a baby like yesterday
This is what educates and brings peoples of the world together! Exactly what we need!
Mark you’re such a pioneer in letting us into the homes and kitchens of people worldwide. Places normally never seen before from the outside world .Such a joy to see your experience !! Many blessings 🙏❤
I love how these women take their time and work together, as well as you can see the love when they make food . Not rushed and making sure its done great. Love this
This is incredible Senegal family life, I love such a kind of culture.....
Best wishes from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇲🇲
I love also bro from 🇺🇸 bangladeshi

Love Senegalese culture, very similar to south/sudanese almost identical! That breakfast is called Walwal here in South Sudan and its made exactly the same way and eaten with milk, beautiful, kind and graceful people. Love from South Sudan!
So internet made it all known that most sénégalese people originated from South Sudan thé fact that WE share the same food IS another proof. Personnally speaking, I am a sénégalese wolof mixed with arab blood And i have lived in The US and everytime i met south Sudanese people it felt like i had a connections with these people even though they could not recognize me as one of their own with my skin tone. Sharing ancestors is truly something spécial
Hello Ayak
You are 100% right the similarity is striking and I believe that mostly the sereres tribes originated from south Soudan. height, skin tones and facial features. Myself on my mother's side I have serere blood. And funny enough wal wal means to mix / shaking.
We're one people. Bless you my friend
Yes bro, according to history, the Senegalese origins come from Sudan and the Nile
@@benendoye Senegalese are not one tribe tho
@@diopsiyare5936 I'm Senegalese living in the states, people always ask if I'm from Sudan.
The Senegalese people are so warming treating marks son as their own, breaking his food up for him! So beautiful to see humanity and love isn’t completely destroyed
Their home is so well kept and clean, & the food looks so well made as well. You can tell they take pride in it, good for them.
Everything is absolutely delicious: the cusine/tradition education, the family's hospitality and Mark's graciousness!
This Senegalese serie is already among my favorites from this channel, it brings back memories of the many times I've been in Dakar
I watch this Senegal segment often. As an african american, I feel an affinity for Senegal food and its people. I also loved how Mica enjoyed the food and the environment as well. I will visit in Jesus name Amen.
OMG, never thought you'd make it to my homeland, Senegal. We use mostly Millet for bread, cakes, and porridge among others, not really wheat. Couscous is called Thiere and doesn't have to be fermented. You brought home to me. Thank you.
this is amazing , reminds me of my life when I was small in the old country , this is great , you got your organic meat and livestock , family and home cooked meals rural lifestyle
I can vaguely remember my childhood , watching leopards chase wild sheep on the mountains with binoculars , I was too young to use a binoculars so I didn't see much except when the leopard jumped on the sheep , I also remember finding caves in the mountains with clean running water filled with crabs and shrimp and plants growing on the walls and small waterfalls with cliffs on either side and shallow waters with fruit plants growing everywhere with cliffs all around
Thank you so much!
Interesting! How is millet bread/cake made, please? I'm Nigerian.
Thanks Mark, Pape and Pape's kind family. We love this lifestyle and the simple life. The people of Senegal are beautiful and wonderful💚💛❤️
Senegalese foods seem to be incredibly awesome. I wish I could be there to taste some. Love from India ♥
*Mark you are a kind soul...thank you for sharing this video...hearing Mika in the background enjoying the food/experience was so precious...Blessings to this beautiful family for opening up their home and sharing their feast & hospitality with us*
✨❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤✨
Mark is a phony Mr nice guy
Thanks for shining a light on the beautiful Senegalese cuisine 🙏🏽 🇸🇳 ❤️
Thank you Mustafa, I really loved it!
@@MarkWiens Something tells me that you will come back in Senegal.
Mussa gestures can only be found from tender loving parents. That was heavy! And what an amazing display of love and unity among the women! Man, I love your people!
Notice how people share the food on the food platter, that is what builds connections and brotherhood between people even in difficult times!
Absolutely !!!
I love that mark doesn't discriminate against any culture. He embraces any and every culture. Mark thank you and I will continue to watch every video.
I love how Mark and his family respect every culture and religion
Thank you Mark for showing the beautiful culture of Senegal🇸🇳🇸🇳🇸🇳
Micah’s little tiny hands digging in that yummy food is so adorable! He needs his own little “I travel for food” shirt ☺️☺️☺️
Yes it’s communal effort a family that eat together stay healthy together these are just natural & fresh ingredients that are organically produce that they are adding to the meal Mark you’re the best foodie person that takes your love of food to everywhere to share thank you Mark and crews OMG that got to taste amazing. I am jealous seeing the beautiful naturally ripe mangoes which come straight from the tree to the table wow
Mica is gonna take over daddy's "job" one day. I love this family 👪. Keep'em coming Mark. Much love to Senegal 🇸🇳 from Ethiopia 🇪🇹

Kids do not pretend. He loves the food and said he could eat it everyday. Pape is a good tour guide and Moussa's hospitality is top notch. Your channel has been giving me the ideas...wow...
It touched my heart! Great Senegalese hospitality. May Almighty give them fron His bounty..
Honestly as an Amazigh , the Senegalese couscous,tea and host serving first bites of meat to guest made me so excited 😱❤️and makes me want to visit. I have to believe we are connected after seeing this❤️from 🇲🇦 to our brothers and sisters in 🇸🇳
As a Gambian that resided in Morocco for about six years, I was blown away how close our cultures and traditions were ❤ btw the Senegalese and Gambian cultures are exactly the same

Definitely! I'm morrocan and I am married to a Senegalese man. Our culture is really similar especially our hospitality ❤ Moroccans have a long history with Senegal!
Your ancestor JUBA ONE OR JUBA 1 is related to Amazigh or Amasilli ancestor MASSINISSA of Mauritania Caesarea in today's North West Africa. JAMBA JOBE. Y JOBAJUBA. JAMBA SAPNA BATUM SAHRAIN!
Interestingly Morocco was the first time I tried Senegalese food (Best jollof rice ever). I saw a lot of Senegalese people in Marrakech and Essaouira. The restaurant was called Le petit Dakar in Marrakech.
This Senegal series is turning out to be 😍🔥Just good vibes all over!
This man is amazing he’s so open and non judge mental and full of positivity this is why i watch mark he’s such a cool person ❤
Mark Micah saying I can eat this everyday Melted my heart. You are raising a wonderful young boy. He's learning so much about cultures thanks to you. Keep the videos Coming Mark :) Thank you! Greeting from British Colombia, Canada
In Africa, it is said that the truth always comes from the mouth of a child. So when your son says he could eat this dish every day I believe him and everyone should because the child knows neither hypocrisy nor wickedness. Thank you Mark you and your family.
Right but kids lie too...unfortunately. welcome to earth.
Yes@@Armelleee, i didn't say they don't lie, lie is neither hypocrisy nor wickedness.
In America biblically out of the mouths of babes comes truth!! This is very true amen.
Jesus spoke.

Mark deserves an oscar for his exceptional expression when he tastes good food. Incredible staff. I am from Kenya
This is not just a food review channel. This is a cultural documentary that makes me appreciate our planet and I will support this channel till I'm an old woman. 👍🥰🥰🥰
Showing a side of Africa everyone needs to see. I appreciate him displaying his respect for these Africans and their culture especially with his family. Love every moment of this🙏🏾
This series seriously makes me homesick - even after moving out of Senegal 17 years ago. That onion/mustard sauce is of the legends. Can't wait to go back for their food someday... 😭
So proud to be Senegalese. Since I was little,the best part of Eid for me is the liver dish after breakfast. I still do the same thing in the USA. The great thing is I can have the millet boulet already made, dried and packed and they can be stored for a very long time.
Молодец!
Micah is absolutely following your footsteps. not just enjoying and relishing food but also his expressions !! this is the best education any child can get. knowing different cultures, different cuisines, people rituals, festivals. God bless your family Mark and also the families that feed you with so much love.
man...the awesomeness of being able to take your son along is EVERYTHING to me right now
I love the way Marc highlights the culture of each country he visits without judgment or prejudice.
I love this channel.
Love from Cameroon.🇨🇲♥️
Your son loves the "thiéré" couscous! So sweet when he said"I can eat it every day!
J’aime tellement la façon dont il découvre notre pays Senegal dafa nekh 🇸🇳 and his son’s right I could eat Thiere everyday too
I just love the ambassadorship you bring, and the culture connection. So uplifting and encouraging, when different cultures eat food together. Loved this. Such a gracious family. Thanks, Mark.
Thank you very much Justin, really appreciate it.
Mark is not just any traveller... Travelling, eating, vlogging, exploring and still smiling the best smile... I watch all his vlogs for the food, the culture and his smile... God bless...
I really love Senegal's culture. Love from Bangladesh
I remember Micka's first appearance as a baby. Hearing him enjoy the food like his father almost made me tear up man. Mark, truly inspiring brother.
Stop ✋ don't give that twerp a big head already
He makes every human being proud of others' Country
You are so flexible Mark.as a Muslim I'm so happy to see how other countries celebrate their Eid..Mark thanks for sharing this with us...BLESS You son.....🙏🙏
Thank you Mark for showing the beautiful culture of Senegal. I’m from the Gambia now living in the US
Mark shows alot of respect and make it feel so good for hosts
Kids dont lie...the food was so good for Mark's son to say he eat it everyday. Mark you are so open minded n down to earth with all cultures
As a senegalese myself, I'd like to thank you for presenting the culture like that, because this idea of sharing is disappearing particularly in large cities like here in Dakar
Btw that meal looks dope I've never had it before
I love starting to see Micahs little hands digging in to experience what his dad does. It’s perfect!
This video made me so happy I'm in tears. I wish I could smell that food cooking!!!! When Mark slurped the tea I just thought that he seems to have a child's spirit. So untainted by the world. But really, it's just because Mark is such an exceptional person. Thank you for another beautiful video!
Mark is so friendly and so good with ppl😇
This makes me want to visit Senegal. Cooking is similar to Trinidad. Thank you for showing us,your ways of cooking and allowing us to enjoy your home and family.
All of that food looks yummy! I love how the fact Micah is in the background talking about how good the food is so cute🤣💙
Thank you Shuronda!
@@MarkWiens I hope y'all are doing well, staying safe and healthy 😍 Blessings to you
People happy to share food there. Very charming and kind culture❣
Thankyou Mark Wiens Showing this beautiful culture.
Micah has literally grown up before my eyes, he is so articulate and cultured, love hearing his little voice and seeing his smile 🥰
Another classic visit to a culture via food. Gotta luv the hospitality of these families.
Bravo Mark for showcasing positive African culture through food. So authentic.🙌👏🏾🙏🏾
When you were eating i saw those 2 men pulling out meat and giving it to mica. There love and hospitality is unbelievable. Wish i was born there
Who knew that Senegal produced such a varied and flavorful cuisine. Thank you for sharing it with us. Wow!
We spend hours to cook our foods😭
Sa change de certains youtubeur qui critique le Sénégal sans cesse. Merci mark pour ta bienveillance. Top personne
I have to say that the simple authentic way is beautiful of a family that lives outside the city just loving it!
