Eating on the Floor with NO FORKS!! (Mauritania)

THE FOOD IN MAURITANIA IS SO GOOD!
I was lucky enough to be invited into a local home for a traditional lunch today. Little did I know they dine while sitting on the floor and eat with their hands (no spoons, forks or knives). I cannot decide which I enjoyed more -- the taste of the food or the entire experience in itself. Let's just say both!
They dressed me in a "boubou" - a long, white, loose-fitting traditional garment that is typically worn every day by men. All I can say is that life is great out here in the Sahara desert!
Music: Epidemic Sound
P.S. Do you want me to do more food videos? To be honest, I prefer cultural/people videos over food, but if this gets good feedback then I will sprinkle these in more often!

“”This is called rice with meat””
Every 60 seconds a minute passes in Africa
Tastes like meat with rice
Every country in the middle east have a dish of rice and meat

@@deadpeach07 and also almost all South Asian Countries like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
We call it Goat biriyani she just translated it into english
I’m really touched by this. Mauritania is my dads country and he always tell me stories about it. I feel like it’s like an anonymous country Unknow by a large part of the world. And seeing you bringing it up and showing a little of how Mauritania is makes me smile. Thank you ❤️

I'm part Mauritanian aswell
@@donventi3567 what's your other part
The last thing she said when he told her thank you “shukran”. She said dont thank me its my duty. And arabs traditions hold the guest so high they consider it as a duty. Which is most generous
Yep here in Lebanon🇱🇧 you will enter a house with 50kg and exit it with 150kg😂😂
I am not even joking the parents will just be like cmon eat more it is not that much or do you want more? And if you say no they will say that you did eat nothing😂and insist
I love it lol
That’s facts and my brother (best friend) is Egyptian
smile face thats a fact everywhere in the middle east im from iraq
I thought she said your welcome
khalid Kassem in Arab traditions the guest is treated like a king/queen
I always love how Mauritanian people eat all together communally on the floor from one large dish. Remember to only use your right hand. 😃

The way she made the rice ball with all the condiments/assortments reminds me of how my grandma used to make and thought us. We do the same. Continents apart and we still eat the same way, amazing world we live in. I want to visit this country in my life once atleast
From somalia 🇸🇴 and we have the same culture

A friend sent me this video, and I was really surprised that you actually came to Mauritania! If I knew I would have probably contacted you and make you visit a lot of interesting places, Mauritania isn’t only about sleeping and eating, there’s actually a lot of interesting places to visit, camel rides, long walks at the beach, dunes sliding, going on small traditional fishing boats “pirogues”, you can also visit banc d’arguin national parc, a small paradise with clear water where you can spot dolphins, whales, and a lot of other varieties of animals and birds ! And we also have the eye of the Sahara! The mystery that scientists can’t solve, The Richard structure, or if you’re interested in history you can visit the old libraries of Chinguitty, full of magical old books, oh and you can also visit the terjit oasis’s and a lot of other things..thorough the video I noticed that you only stayed in and didn’t try to experience the outside with local people; it’s such a shame that you didn’t get to experience a lot of things in this beautiful country ! But thank you anyways for visiting my country, watching this video made my day and I hope someday (maybe) you’ll comeback in here and get a real experience, you won’t regret it I promise !
Sorry my English isn’t very good, I’m an 16 years old Mauritanian girl that also enjoys visitings, travelling, new cultures etc..
Much love!
i really loved that! and I wish that I can visit mauritania, im from lebanon. (btw your english is good)
Hello Soukeina, hope you're doing good. I'm visiting Mauritania in 2 months. I speak Arabic, but I find the Hassaniya dialect hard to understand. Would you happen to have any advice on how to learn it?
Bengalis, Pakistanis and Indians eat rice with their hands and I'm Bengali
True and greetings from Pakistan!
Backup Account but we don't make rice balls. Arabs do that
And in Somalia we do that
And Philippinos
That's just nasty mscheew , please eat with spoons and forks like civilized people.

Same lol
Nop we don't do it
@Rashaenka it's simplicity, once a wise indian said, why eat with two sticks when you have 5 fingers 😂

Same eathung culture in Afghanistan 🇦🇫,
Sitting on the floor,rugs,bed,pillow,sitting together and eating from one plate, and also drinking tea after each eating.
Respect from Afghanistan
Wow! A beautiful culture in Mauritania just like mine back home Somalia, we eat on the floor with our hands and mostly we eat jointly then the tea is served, everyone lays down a little bit to seattle, we share the same belief I'll visit there one day.
I'm from Mauritania, and I was cracking up when you said we're laying around all day hybrenating.

Who else goes straight to the comments when watching a video?+as always great video.
Drew: Eating on the floor and without utensils is common here.
Every Muslim country ever: Am I joke to you?
Not all Muslim countries do that
What about India??
@Mister Unknown Most of the people of rural areas in India eats with hand
Hindus,Muslims everyone
@@khanandsomaya3315 arabian peninsula all used to, and on many occasions still do eat with our hands
That’s how I eat to by the way I am Yemeni.
@4:11 "No thanks is needed. It's my duty (to serve guests)." Extraordinary hospitality. Blessed family.
I am from Somalia and we do the same we even look like each other these people
We are the Arab people known with our generous hospitality.
I'm Ahmed from Egypt, welcome anytime in Egypt bro✌
veeryy true. i would love to go back to any arab country.
Am from ghana and i really love Egypt
Drew: This is called "dates", it is a big raisin
Dates: What? he aint seen the desert like me!
I'm actually studying French right now and in my assignment I'm learning about the concessions (housing) in Mauritania and didn't really get a perspective on what it was like until watching your video so thank you and can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Food eaten by hand has a special feel and taste to it such that utensils feel weired and less satisfying.
Fact: Every movie that involves shopping contains at least 1 long french man bread.
Hail!
thank you
the richest people here in Dubai eat on the floor with there hands it’s traditional here
EDIT:You should eat with your right hand only
Yeah i would like to add that It is necessary to eat with your hands if you want to fully enjoy ur meal👅😍
You should only eat with your right hand because thats what us muslims should do
@Tiktok Is cringe yea
💩 too bad if you're a left handed muslim. Che!
We Indians also eat from hand in floor
The dress of Mauritanian people is very majestic. I loved their dress.
I’m from Mauritania 🇲🇷❤️
in somalia we do the same
😂😂😂 give us credit mate
Yes, we do same bro
Actually yes✅ we do the same in Somalia
In Pakistan we do the same too. In my house we have spoons but my mother say eat with your hands. Food becomes more delicious if you eat with your hands😋😋. And its also our Sunnah
Intaanan video ga furin somalibaan moodayay
Dude, that's perfectly normal in North Africa and Southeast Asia as long you don't use your left hand. (I don't know about left-handed people though...)
Oh wait... South Asia too.
Yeah u r right , in south east Asia as well ( Pakistan) 🇵🇰
In the middle east you just lay a picnic cloth or plastic on the floor, you set all the food, water, mast aw/doe, utensils and etc on the floor and eat(with utensils).
Welcome everyone to Mauritania. There are a lot more Arab-beber and African dishes in Mauritania. You'll definitely enjoy the country and the people.
Everything I've seen of Mauritania looks great but it's such a shame about the amount of trash in this region. I wish the leaders would invest in creating a better infrastructure for waste management.
Yeah so they start to throw trash in the ocean like Americans, Europeans etc.
@@geraltoffuckingvelen4359 what do you suggest then

Wow I found it so funny 😂 this lady chills out making ☕️ tea and the guys just eat and sleep what a life 😂
I'm Indian, and my family also eat rice and other dishes on the floor as per tradition every meal with bare hands. completely normal
They eat alot, they sleep alot😂😂😂
Even i eat without fork, and on floor.. And even having everything. . Alhumdulillah. It's normal .. Just be happy in less.. And have sabr for everything ❤❤
Wow! I amazed by all the French, Morrocan and, maybe, Roman influence!! I guess that I should put it on my bucket list.
Beautiful mealtime traditions sharing food made with love then relaxing and digesting.
There is more to video making they meets the eye, even if the video is just 30seconds long.
Want to promote this video better? Show how to use fork and knife and even chopsticks because the main aspect is eating not the food itself.
People abroad are having a hard time relating to African foods for two reasons the fact that we eat it by hand and the look of how it is served.
Look at how chefs are presenting their meals and you will see the difference in presentation. Show in videos that show food products eatten by hand they we wash out hands thoroughly And not just from the streets into the food, don't assume that they should know better.
People use cutleries not because they are convinient but because food is hot, food is messy
I repeat that there is nothing wrong with eating food with hands just show how and the art of it.
Japanise chefs who make sushi with hands are always with a white towel wiping off their hands and always washing their hands from contaminants.
Just loading food on the plate makes things look sloppy unattractive.
Restaurant people need to understand that less is more even if people want to see full plates there is a way to present it.
Try the art of Japanise serving style on a plate for African foods and have fun talking about it as a promotion of the food culture if you like it.
There are certain foods you can't eat without a spoon they is soups like the African pepersoup and you can eat salads without s fork, you can eat certain salads with spoon but some chopsticks can be convinient.
There was a person I knew that would eat food with cutleries at home but will eat same food outdoors with hand. At home where everything is clean he wouldn't eat with hands but when outside where it's less hygienic he is with his hands
This is a sample contents that sponsor will put his or her name on and it will and should generate a good following.
There are people who are making hits on videos via RUclips and making £1,300 pounds per video followership of 1 million subscribers
The way to drive the video to have a following you need to come up with an action plan on how you will aproach making the video interesting to watch from the first five seconds because five seconds is what you have even if your video might be 10min long, the standard amount of time they people like to spend on a video is 3 and half min so you reely need to plan a ten min video they a sponsor would like to be a part of becsue the more the time the more his opportunity to promote what he does even if what he does doesnt relate to what you are doing. Contrasts brings attention, certain words are too distracting to use in videos,
People want to see the elements of what HELPS, SUPPORTS, AND ASSISTS them so divide your video into three parts by identifying what helps in the video to notice, what assists the video to be watched and what supports the video to be promoted.
And elements of professional lifestyles that it creates, for instance the lifestyle of a doctor's reaction towards a video, or how an engineer will respond to your video.
Every video must have a personality and you can help yourself by knowing the 16 types of personalities they have been identified, in example the negotiator, the adventurer, the poet, the generalist etc look it up on Google search and watch RUclips videos about this topic
In creating a video consider using the project management principles and use events management guides and rules to help you bring your video to life
Also understand what it means to do video administration, video sales and marketing, video operations plans, and most importantly understand what development, production post production, production and execution means.
If this is too complicated for you to understand I will explain just point out where. Be patient but they doesn't mean be slow.

Moroccan are not so friendly they invaded the country next to Mauritania called Western Sahara 🇪🇭 and expelled Sahrawi people from their land and there’s many Moroccan settlers in occupied Western Sahara 🇪🇭 and Morocco killed millions of sahrawi people there’s genocide
It looks so delicious 😍

While Sitting and eating ; you knees and legs press against you stomach which in turn makes you eat a little less than your full stomach capacity; this helps you from over eating anf constipation
