    More than any other place I have seen on Munchies, I would love to visit Azurmendi. The beauty and the delicacies would probably overwhelm me. I was almost in tears from seeing just the small part of this place they showcased. It gives me hope that maybe someday we (humans) will be able to live off of the earth without sacrificing our inventiveness and imagination.

    In the first episode of the Munchies Guide to the Basque, Irene starts with a traditional feast at Basque institution Txokos, then meets food wizard Eneko Atxa of Azurmendi.

      You guys should just do more of these amazing documentaries, great food, great culture, great videos. Don't bother with those getting high, being fat crap (Other than the guy who did the BBQ video, he was cool). These + Chef's Night Out = Perfecto. Also forget about The Dinner Bell, she's gone downhill since episode 2.

    im always surprised at how uneducated, vulgar and xenophobic people are in the comments section of these videos... You're subscribed to a fucking food channel and complain whenever there isnt a video of Action Bronson or fried food.. come the fuck on people, theres more to life than burgers out there.
    Oh and as per usual, great video; the Basque country is an amazing place, having been to san sebastian and bilbao several times, it truly is a beautiful place.

    • @Stoney-Jacksman
      @Stoney-Jacksman 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +lostwoods95 I think a lot has to do with the fact that this sort of food and luxury is reserved only for the very privileged. You are probably one of them, but not all people have that luxury. Also these sort of comments are everywhere..
      But Oh my how cultured are you.. have you also been to India and broke bread with people in the slums? just an example since there too is culture.... I don't think you have. Or only as a safari...

    • @begonaamann6536
      @begonaamann6536 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      No, you are completely wrong. In the basque homes we eat such food and I assure you I am not privileged. It´s our tradition, teached from grandmas/grandpas to mums/ dads and so on... We love to cook and to spend time with family and friends around the table.
      We are lucky to live in such a place, full of history, traditions and aweeeeesome food.

      Sorry!!! I misunderstood!!! Anyway the "pintxos", that cost between 2-5 euros each are tiny examples and bits of our food and tourists can find them almost everywhere. They are not the same as homecooking but...

      Not true at all, nowadays we all live together in harmony. There should be some minority of people who complain about them (probably their lives are quite boring).
      Spain differs a lot from every community, and that's why we Spaniards are very regionalists: I'm Valencian, I'm Catalan, I'm Basque, I'm Andalucian, I'm Galician ...

She was spot on with the voice over, but as soon as see had to describe or interact with another person it got boring. But hey, I'm just more into the entertainment aspect and her peers make for hard comparisons; Action Bronson and Matty!

    BASQUE COUNTRY IS NOT A COUNTRY ITSELF AND IT IS NOT AN AUTONOMOUS REGION EITHER, I DONT KNOW WHY EVERYONE IN THE VIDEO WANTS TO BE A PART, IS THERE ANY POINT IN THE INDEPENDENCE APART OF THE POLITICS? DOES IT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

    • @Dobleclick
      @Dobleclick 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Actually, regions in Spain are called "Autonomías", so it makes perfect sense to call them autonomous, whether you like it or not. Also, your comment was the first one I saw that actually cared about the "politics" mentioned in this video. It seems YOU care about the difference of being autonomous or not more than anyone else here.

    • @Monki_29
      @Monki_29 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dobleclick every other region of Spain is called Autonomy. Historical region is a term that is often called between the Spaniards regions that indeed have a set of people's and cultural traits that are similar within the same region but different within Spain.
      The most notable Examples are Cataluña, and Basque country (plus la rioja which is part of the historical region of Basque country)

    at 0:50 you state "the Basque Country is an autonomous region in northern Spain" ... No, it is not!! I think you meant Euskadi/Euskal Autonomia Erkidogea/Vasque Autonomous Region. The image displayed is Euskal Herria, the so called Basque Country greater region!! Nafarroa is NOT in the Basque region!! And then all the BS stated from 01:00 til 01:20? Ask around in Lapurdi, Beherea, or Zuberoa about brutally suppressed rights. Oh, I forgot, that's France, they're not meant to that there, isn't? Of course, that's why Basque language is official and recognized in France (jokes!). Sad, very sad this display of bias ignorance. In any case, gora Euskadi, their food is awesome.

    oldest language still spoken? I don't think so. I believe Hindi or Khoisan might have a say in that argument.

    • @fmlAllthetime
      @fmlAllthetime 10 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      It is one of the oldest. Although you do have a point with Khoisan, Basque could possibly contend with Hindi. It's a language isolate and pretty much the only one at that in continental Europe. There probably will never be a real answer for this, but if you have any more knowledge on the subject, I would gladly listen.

      ImperviousMason Of c. women can enter, but just not on those societies´s kitchens. Those are strictly "men territory". They are allowed to eat what men cook and enjoy themselves there, but not to cook. It is like a "mencookingday" where they can enjoy their long-male-friends company and conversation etc with the greatest food and wine.Women are of c. allowed: the only thing they cannot do is cooking or interfere with cooking: That is a male business there :)

    "...since 1870... before anything existed in the Basque Country or in Spain"
    LMAO. Have you ever picked up a book on history? Or european history? Spain is one of the oldest nations in Europe!
    Vice, you chose an illiterate and biased presenter who just can't be profesional enough to inform herself or be objective about a topic.
    It's a shame you completely invalidated an otherwise very informative and valid documentary about the Basque Country's identity.
    Well done, Irene, I hope you're happy.

    "They´ve long been known for their fierce sense of identity" - bollocks. Although born out of understandable circumstances, the only reason Basque nationalism is associated with violence is because they've been blowing people up for 40 years or more.
    Under Franco it was understandable to fight fire with fire but he kicked the bucket in 1975 for fucks sake. It´s complete bullshit of her to say that the thing most associable with the Basque country is food; it´s actually terrorism for the majority of Spaniards lol
    And the worst thing is this sense of regional identity in Spain (prevalent in the Basque Country and Catalonia) is mainly filtered down through top to bottom tactics by the filthy rich who control resource distribution in these areas hoping to make more money out of a smaller government that caters solely for that region.

    There´s no need for propaganda, stick to the food. Basque the oldest language in the world, oppressed nation, the map doesnt represent the Basque country nowadays.

      @danielmayner2312 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +donatepavon Those are facts it´s not propaganda, by the way the map represents the extent of the basque culture, which used to be the Kingdom of Navarre

    • @donatepavon
      @donatepavon 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Its completely fine for me if people feel this or other way, but at least allow me to be skeptical with this discourse. Ethnically pure, never mixed with anyone else, oldest language... I heard this before!

    • @danielmayner2312
      @danielmayner2312 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +donatepavon Basque it´s the oldest language in europe, thats a fact yes, correct me if Im wrong but I belive that nobody in this video speaks about ethnical purity, what they state is that the basque people is the oldest ethnic group in Europe, I know what you are trying to imply saying that you have heard this discourse before, wont work.

    • @donatepavon
      @donatepavon 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Apparently Basque language is very old, as studies point, but saying that it is the oldest is overreaching. They didnt talk about this "ethnical" purity in the video but this is also part of the discourse. "Oldest ethnic group in Europe"?? Seriously? Overreaching a bit again, dont you think?
      I dont say it is bad or good, just point that Its the same "magical" nationalism that has been around for ages. The purest, the best, the oldest, bla bla...
