I was born in NYC of Caribbean parents (Cuban and Dominican), and i can say that, the only African food I can love all the way, is Zambian food! I had it for the first time in February 2018, in Lusaka, Zambia, and it was the perfect combination of foods. I love their Nshima, their rice, their mostly leafy green vegetables accompaniment, and their meats!!! Their selection is very vegetarian which agrees with my digestive system best.
i have my son in laws parents who are Cuban Americans good people. I would love to visit Cuba one day
Ever had jollof rice ?
@@africangeniuspharaohs3251 yes, what about it?
@@africangeniuspharaohs3251 Jollof rice is the best; I learned how to prepare it from my Nigerian family and Jerk Chicken from my Jamaican family. Loving it. Zambia, see you soon.
@@maggiemcdonald72 neat !
Zambian people are the best cooks in the world
Exactly
As a Zambian I totally agree 🥲
hmmmm, we barely have seafood so i don't know
@@ganju_san2675 I hate seafood😝
You wish
I am British, married to a Zimbabwean and have spent half my life in Africa including Zambia. I eat African food a lot of the time. On fish, I like kapenta, small dried fish cooked whole in tomatoes, onins an chillies and eaten with sadza/nshima. Can't stand sorting out fish bones!
Love ❤ you kapenta is really good.
Add on some cattapilas
I as well don't like sorting out fish bones at all😂 so kapenta is way better and very delicious 😋

Is it true that you eat monkeys?
I consider Zambia home. Watching you guys eat Zambian food brought back memories of when I lived in Zambia. Learning how to eat Nshima is an experience. Some of the healthiest dishes are in Zambia. There's nothing like Nshima, pumpkin leaves cooked with ground nuts, sweet potato leaves, goat meat and rape.
If you get a chance to go to Northern Province you'll see some of the most beautiful backdrops and landscapes in the world!!! Mix all of this up with the most hospitable people on the planet and you can't help but love and respect Zed
Thanks for the video.
It looks like the Zambian experience is one of the best experiences.
It melts my heart when Africans comes together man ,so beautiful family
The same lovely group of ladies that serves us every time we visit from the USA. Food is Delicious!
Let me know when you come back to Zambia
I hope many African Americans will consider Zambia as one of the vacation spots. It’s unexplored country. We have traditional ceremonies unique to the country. Recently the ngoni were celebrating Ncwala, soon it’s kuomboka, mutomboko, ikumbi lyamize and kusefya pa n’gwena plus many other ceremonies. That’s how Zambians tries to keep culture alive.
Then come meet me at the airport, flying in from Las Vegas 🙀
@PRISCA WADDIMBA shani bane...thats right girl!
You better believe it. Zambia's on my list o Southern African Countries.
@@dallasjudah450 welcome
Zambia is the place to be!
I really like the daughter’s reactions she so mature and adorable.
Idk why in the world i can't "like" this vid, but love the content! As an African American living in Lusaka, I felt right at home. Glad you enjoyed!!
How long have you been in Zambia and are you enjoying the country?
I'm African American and live in Ndola part of the year.
I'm glad to see Africans from the American diaspora, traveling to other African countries other than Ghana and scary Nigeria... When i went to Zambia, it felt so good.
We Zambian are peaceful people 🙌🏿
Bro what do mean saying other than mother land Ghana 🇬🇭 and father land Nigeria 🇳🇬 scary explain. Let me tell you something mother land Africans loves ourselves ok. And I know this hate and I know where you are coming from. Don’t do that again ok.
@@collinskwaning9004 huh?
Am trying to put sense into your skull 💀 or your brain 🧠 and you are insulting right 😀😀😀😀 You are very very funny .
Nice to see our local cuisine on display. We love it . The lumanda is some sort of hibiscus (the leaves are cooked in groundnut sauce or just steamed). Kalembula are sweet potato leaves. Bondwe is aramanthus leaves, very high in blood forming elements such as iron and folate. Rape is similar to kale
We get to see how healthy our African cuisine can be
In Malawi we call in Bonongwe
In Malawi we call in Bonongwe
@@mutintamuyuni188 nice to see you here!

Am so humbled by the NOMADS by them buying from the street ....you fam swallowed your pride and became proudly African and theres nothing any human can be proud of beside accepting themselves n beside ....street food is the best❤
Thanks for covering everyday life scenes in Zambia. Shout out to Unapologetic Normads!
As a Zambian, I have been to Matebeto so many times. I am in the United States. When I watched your video late last night, I was so hungry. It is the best video I have watched of people eating Zambian foods and enjoying them. I was in Zambia a month ago. I hardly eat any beef when I am here. The Zambian beef is sweet beef and I eat all the beef I can when I am there. It is all grass face and the meals are great with tons of dark green vegetables. Have a great time.
Shema and Kapenta are my favorite. I loved Zambia when I was there many years ago.

Hola family, I love your idea of touring different african countries and your courage. I hope some of the African American who have fear of coming to Africa can understand from you, that in Africa we are not harmful and full of diseases as portrait in the western media. Yes we have challenges but life goes on. Please take care of yourselves there are always bad people everywhere in the world. Be save. ONE Love
Thank you my sister for speaking on that. I hope one day God's willing to visit my away from to long Africa. :)
That you from America 🇺🇸 ✌🏾
Just subscribed to your channel because I loved the aura this beautiful family carried... Respectful and down to earth just like us Africans....often when people try foreign cuisine they make all sorts of facial expressions which are often exaggerated to signal their disapproval with that particular food... But I found this family very respectful in their approach even the madams allergy to tomatoes was respectfully explained
I love Zambia 🇿🇲. Beautiful work
I am proudly Zambian my husband is Liberia, the first time I asked him to try Nshima he looked at me funny. He tried it and got hooked 😂😂
This is great..am from 🇰🇪 Kenya and am fascinated by how close our African culture and cuisines are. Nshima is Sima or Ugali in East Africa and is the main dish for households in Kenya
We call it ubwali or nshima.. very similar indeed
Long as we are all bantus, our food is similar
@@kapungwekamukwamba5310 we are truly cut from the same cloth
@@marshallhombasha5032 very true!!!
Trust me, first time in Nairobi while at some place in Kilimani was served very nice dishes, my favorite was Nyama Choma, just one thing was missing ,nshima or ugali 😂😂😂😂 It went for a week without nshima or ugali,
Only surviving on Chapo, I had to go round to look for maize meal😂😂😂😂 found it after two hours,you should have seen the joy
Your family is so beautiful. I will be going to Lusaka Zambia in august 2022 so I am getting as much information as I can great video very informative.
See you there😊...am travelling there too in August..can't wait🇿🇲
Me too. Visiting my home country in August, can't wait to enjoy our food😋
The level of genuine respect from your family to literally anyone and everyone can only translate to what a great father figure leads this home centred around a great mother. Not a common thing in western families these days . With that attitude you serve humanity as the last surviving hope . Your family is blessed tenfolds
As a limpopian 🇿🇦... I recognize some of the veggies they have there. Pumpkin leaves with ground nuts😍 how we make them too.. Yumm.
The okra vegetable as well👌
Vegetation is the same as around Kruger national park, most people look like my ancestors Hlangi!
Yes. That's the chiwawa the Zambia guy couldn't put in English.
@Kuba Kyeyo
All veggies were translated in English except ‘Lumanda’ leaves when cooked the texture is slippery a bit like okra. That’s not pumpkin leaves
Muchangana waka hina nihuma buxe
I love #okra ....
❤️💛💚
Super
NOMADIC
Making Afrika proud
Again
😊✊🏽
Love this, iam Zambian and I love to see you Guys in Africa (:
I have had a cry 😭 watching this video! I didn’t realise how much l missed home 🏡! I last visited home in 2017. Hopefully l will visit soon .
After 3 years I managed to come home,trust me place is so different it was hard to locate places I already know,so much development
I Love Zambia, Thanks brother for teaching our People from the US , how we eat (Unapologetic Nomads).
Thanks alot
Those traditional green vegetables looks so healthy, good for the body.
Very healthy. All the minerals you need.
It's tasty too.
You're very right
Our Food is Organic... Naturally grow without Fertilizer
Our Food is Organic... Naturally grow without Fertilizer
Glad to see you guys enjoy yourselves so much at Matebeto. Alex was heroic as a host.
Nice to see you guys visit Zambia - my home country. Let me know how long you're in town for and if you need any local contacts. Zambians are the MOST welcoming and lovely people. It's no exagarration. Enjoy your time! One love!
I can just taste that steak 😋...and the grilled fish 🐟...all the foods looked so good and delicious 😋
So back in Jamaica we wasted a lot of vegetables? I don't think most of us used all those leaves to make dishes, like the pumpkin leaves, sweet potato leaves and cassava leaves. I guess we lost a lot of the traditions from our ancestors. We have been wasting all those food sources. Damn!.
Those are best vegetables. I only eat local vegetables
Sweet potatoes leaves are so tasty! We are growing them now. Please try some raw or cooked for you won't be disappointed.
Yes I love kalembula (sweet potato) and chibwabwa (pumpkin) leaf xxx I miss home x
It's not too late.u can get back to that
Not too late 😂, you can be preparing them, very healthy by the way
I love how we Africans incorporate leaves in all our dishes 😋😋😋
Healthiest grill place lots of greens thanks family inspired to see Zambia
I am Happy our people are back home and enjoying, What they have missed for 400 years. (Unapologetic Nomads!)
This is beautiful ❤️
As a Zambian your comment cut deep in my soul,u welcoming our people,hope Zambian government will relax Citizenship Laws for our people when they come back home Ghana did it we can too.Hope your comment reaches the mass over here in the Diaspora.
Ah man...... My mouth was watery all the way!!!!!!!!
Shout out to you guys for sharing the most simplest of African food that is so amazing 🇿🇼
@6.30 Muriwo wemodzi 😋😛😜
the lovely people pulsing heart beats ,sweet smiles of generosity in this funny beautiful bountiful sunny world...giving
Love this channel always showing true Africa you don't see on TV
I am looking at these ladies and seeing my grandmother, my mom, my sisters and my aunties, brings back great memories watching them cook Holiday meals and get together meals in some relatives home in the USA. That goat looks slammin, dang they got my mouth watering all the way here in Ohio.
I couldn’t help it but smile through out the video. I’m glad you guys had a great time and that you really enjoyed the food 😊❤️
This was very enjoyable to watch guys. I didn’t get to make it to Mama Africa (Belize stole my heart) but I’m still enjoying everyone explore the continent. I can’t wait to eventually make it.
Bondwe is a type of amaranthus hydridus... its a delicacy here in Zambia. Normally grows as a weed in the fields during the rainy season, however, farmers have started growing it commercially now because of its health benefits.
The food looks appetizing. I enjoyed the vlog family.
Im hungry now fam haha...damn those people eating luxurious everyday ...t-bone steak.. fish....chicken and side dishes. How I wish to be in Zambia now and it looks like food is affordable for the people ..like in SA T-bone steak ain't cheap.
One Love enjoy and God bless.
Wish I went to that place when I was in Zambia 3yrs ago,thanks for going there now we know what they have there.Nice food!!!
You need to come back 😊
Love how you have represented my homeland. So much so I booked a flight back and already been in touch with some of the people you have featured. Peace love and light.
My Zambian brother representing us we'll .all these food as made me hungry

Another great vlog today and the food looks very delicious 😋 and healthy I love greens 😋
They are a variety of healthy greens you are really spoiled for choice.
He took you to the right place!!!! Matebeto
Had to subscribe because of how respectful you were towards our foods. I've seen several vids of Americans giving disrespectful reactions on Twitter, after eating African foods so I was skeptical going into this vid😅
Am proudly Zambian 🇿🇲🇿🇲i love our food😋🥰
Zambian mangoes top notch yummy!
The best in the world!
I’m watching this at 6am and wanting dinner food. It doesn’t matter whether it’s goat, fish or chicken. Im ready. Good to see y’all having a great time together.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST VIDEOS FROM UNAPOLOGETIC NOMADS😍😍👍
So glad you enjoyed some of our Zambian food. There's a lot more our diet offers but you already have had a fill. Call again!
Come back home to south Africa we miss you already Family

Hello my name is RWEMERA David Johnson I leave in ZAMBIA but I'm from RWANDA🇷🇼 if you have more day's please visit a place called lilanda and Lusaka and for me I leave in lilanda to thank you
And I loved you for you do to put AFRICA on the map thank you
I worked in Lusaka for 2 years and l miss Lusaka - Zambians are so friendly. Seems your wife and daughter really enjoyed the African cuisine kkkkkk - won't mind hosting you here in Zimbabwe
Damn that food 🍷🍾...Nshima is called Obokima in our language. Same dialect to Kusii in Kenya. Same with all veges. Goat is Embori in our language. We cook the same way. Goat is our favorite meat.
Food looks appetizing😊✌🇿🇦🇺🇸
First time watching this media, and it's one of my favorites!!! I want to go there!!! BEAUTIFUL FOLKS
Happy to see you had such a great experience, thank you for showcasing my country 🇿🇲 Also now I'm hungry!
You guys are so inspiring and you are not afraid from trying anything new and different! You are culturally foodies and connoisseurs.
I like how this family is so respectful and and not negative at all. Most of the African Americans are always trying to show Africa in a negative way especially when it comes to our traditional food.TH-cam recommended this channel to me and I subscribed after watching one video. I’ve been hooked since then! I miss Zambia and all the delicious food 🥺
This is great to see for our country. Your making awesome videos and content
Zambia my beautiful country! I love that you got to try out some of our great food choices.
Rape is very similar to collard green and Impwa is garden eggs. My favorite vegetable is kalembula (sweet potato leaves).
Thanks for visiting Zambia and showing us these great videos, Enjoy! 😊
Massive amounts of love and respect for visiting Zambia, hope you enjoyed and come back for more.
Wow family.that’s beautifull while you are out living,you are giving a lot of new experience to our people,building bridges ,laying solid foundations and coming back HOME.
Yo, enjoying your content from Philly. Also, it’s cool that you guys are exposing your daughter in your travels. Definitely off the beating path. Love it
Made this man hungry 😋 much respect to the cook and the peeps sharing their experience with us
Wow looking at this vid got me hungry!! Great vid family..
Showing love from 🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Not only do we have nice people we have great food, countless wildlife and amazing landscapes. Great to see how our distant relatives enjoyed our food. Alex did a good job. Zambia 🇿🇲 is the place to be
Chilled vibes in Zambia, love it love it.
Really loved seeing you guys enjoy our Zambian delicacies, thanks for visiting.
I love these guys! Africa Unite! Sister Nikki Africa will surprise you! The T-bone, looked like Chuck in South Africa. One thing that I love about the food presented, I must say it has lot of greens.
It is chuck T-bone you're right. The T-bone T-bone is more expensive so they use chuck at Matebeto
@@lenamukokili6239 , thanks, even here in South Africa. We have the Abo’Mama capable of making wonders with chuck. You find them at Taxi Ranks, Outside Hospitals Entrance/Exit gates, Industrial areas. Thanks Lena for clarity. I’m enjoying this channel. Anyway Zambia is in my heart as a South African.
You should visit. I love SA for the Shisa nyama
@@lenamukokili6239 , yes, is in my bucket list.
Great experience, I miss the continent very much, will be back there real soon.
I love 💗 your channel. A lot of positive vibes.
I can't believe I just watch them eat for 20min.!!! im very excited to try it now!
This food is so clean and healthy. I make it at home and I always feel good when I eat it
This is my favorite place to eat our traditional food. Thanks for showing it to the world
I loved everything about this video 😍💕💕
Nah,you guys are AMAZING sheeeem.......i love this fr reals

Thank you for showcasing our beautiful country Zambia to the world. I hope your videos will inspire more African Americans to visit our country and rediscover what they lost.
Thank you for this video !
Enjoy your food ! God bless Africa.
100% The content i subscribed to see
Majority of these vegetables are common in Limpopo province of South Africa. They have different names depending on the languages in the region.
These vegetables are common in almost the whole continent, more especially from Central, Eastern and Southern African countries
@@suntzu8959 yes.
Shouldn't be surprising , because 85 % of Africans 🤎😍😍 living in East and southern Africa , all migrated from West Africa , hundreds or thousands of years ago .
In west Africa , we call meat
" Nyam " , in East Africa meat is called Nyama and I believe in South Africa meat is also called Nyama .
@@africangeniuspharaohs3251 its the other way around dear. People that call meat nyam oim west africa are bantus who immigrated there. Bantus do not come from west africa.
@@africaine4889 You are completely wrong . I would have bothered to explain if you had spelt
∆ ∆ ∆fric∆ 🤎😍😍😍 correctly .
AfricA 🤎😍😍😍 the undisputed cradle & mother of worldwide scientific & cultural civilization.
You must not know much about gorgeous ∆ ∆ ∆fric∆ 🤎🤎😍😍😍😍🌴🌴☀️☀️☀️.
Glad you went kunganda. Thank you for showing Zambia to the world. I envy the veggies (kalembula trending!)
Just subscribed to your channel because I enjoyed watching you eat my favourite staple food Nshima. Thank you.
I love when he delves into the hand use traditional explanation
You guys are awesome 👌enjoy our food. Proud Zambian
I love how original you fit in... Non apologetic to the culture and the people... Loving em vids 💖💖💖
I have eaten meals from Matebeto and the beef is tender the variety on veggies healthy
