    Huge thank you to Khun Mook for taking us on this incredible authentic Karen food expedition. She does tours in Mae Hong Son province of Thailand: / mookshilltribecrafts
    MAE HONG SON, THAILAND - Welcome to Mae Hong Son, a lesser visited province in northern Thailand on the border of Myanmar and known for its rugged mountains. We met up with Mook and headed off onto the side of the mountain to gather some ingredients for dinner. We gathered Karen chilies, cassava, and then we ended up harvesting an entire banana tree to eat the trunk for dinner.
    They made a variety of traditional village Karen dishes including one of the staple dishes of the Karen people, including toasted rice pounded into a powder with a chicken and vegetables. Another dish we had was meat chopped and mixed with a huge amount of mountain herbs and spices and packed into a bamboo pole and roasted over the fire. It was so good because all the herbs and juices of the meat all mingle together in the bamboo.
    Finally, to complete our amazing dinner with Mook and her family, you can’t have a Karen food meal without a chili dip. All the ingredients were roasted and pounded, along with juicy tomatoes and fiery chilies.
    It was an incredibly special meal and a learning experience and I’m grateful for Mook and her family’s incredible hospitality.
    Again, Mook offers authentic Karen tours in her village, and you can contact here here: / mookshilltribecrafts
    Thank you for watching!

      @@kas789 Well Karen and Burmese both belong to the Sino-tibetan family (not Thai/Tai). The original aboriginals of Assam/NE are also Sino-tibetan like the Bodo-kacharis (Boros, Dimasas, Chutias, Koch, Moran, etc), Mishings and Karbi. So, it is obvious that the cuisines of all these groups will be similar as they branched out from the same ancestors.

    Turns out my new neighbors in suburban Chicago are Karen people. They just invited me into their home to enjoy a Christmas feast while I was out shoveling snow. One moment I'm fighting piles of snow, the next moment I'm in a house with at least 25 people eating a Karen meal even more elaborate than the one in this video. Surreal and wonderful experience.

    So happy to see Mark made it to the Karen village and tried Karen dishes. I have been following him and enjoy all of his content. I always think when will he reach the Karen village and share it with the world. Finally today, I get to see Karen food on his channel.💕💕P.S. Roasted Rice porridge is our Karen main food and my all time favorite. I can just eat it like that when my mom made it. What I love about this dishes is you can put any wild veggies that you find that is edible in the jungle. Mark you should should also try Karen Kaw Naw (noodles) made with Banana’s tree. -Karen Fan from USA 🤩

      Well Karen people belong to the Sino-tibetan family (not Thai/Tai). The original aboriginals of Assam(as well as NE) are also Sino-tibetan like the Bodo-kacharis (Boros, Dimasas, Chutias, Koch, Moran, etc), Mishings and Karbi. So, it is obvious that the cuisines of all these groups will be similar as they branched out from the same ancestors.
