    Guiglo, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) - After making our way along the Atlantic coast of Côte d’Ivoire, we’re continuing our Ivorian food tour to the north, stopping first for an extraordinary meal in Guiglo, before we continue all the way to Northern Ivory Coast, eating as much local food as we can along the way.
    In Guiglo, Côte d’Ivoire we met with the Guéré tribe and Madam cooked us an absolutely incredible meat called Sauce Bawin (cassava leaves sauce) and Sauce Kplé Ba (sticky sauce) - a meal fit for West African royalty! It was impressive and the flavors were unbelievable.
    We continued our journey to Touba and to an extremely remote village called Gboola. In Gboola we saw one of the most mysterious and fascinating dances I’ve ever scene, the Ivorian stilt dances. We then had lunch with the community.
    Finally to complete this cay we drove to Odienne, in the very northern part of Côte d’Ivoire. There we had some Gnomi (griddle cakes) and a huge meal of Sumbala La-fri - Rice made with eggplant and locust beans.
    It was another incredible day of local West African food in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast)!
    A huge thank you to my friend Mo Soumahoro from Belle Côte d’Ivoire ( / bellecotedivoire ) for arranging my trip and setting up everything.

      What is it with these remarks on humility under his African videos rarely seen under others when he travels elsewhere?
      Or one must be especially humble to interact with Africans?
      I don't get it. They're people like anyone else. And just as welcoming too, with food he enjoys just as much as other locations.

    This incredible channel just keeps on delivering. Wow. Mark, you are a revelation in videography and content and the way you portray each adventure is incredible. Very few of us will be able to experience what you do and where you travel, but watching your videos makes us almost feel we're there. Certainly for me they do. Thank you. 🙏🏽

    My Favorite episode Mark, I was think to myself, I hope will go north west to experience all the delicious food we have there. And you sure did it.

    Mark, it is amazing to see how much of African cultures have survived the centuries of slavery in the Caribbean. The use of cassava, bananas, plantains, . . . . and the iconic stilt-walkers and masquerade . . . from Barbados to Trinidad to Montserrat . . . these rhythms of life, of cuisine, of using natural ingredients persist, reflecting the ancient roots of the people who were stolen from the continent up to 400 years ago.

    Fantastic! I loved the enthusiasm of the lady getting you to 'mange' while you've barely swallowed the current handful! Loved the masquerade dance, loved everything! The rice cake is called 'masa' in Nigeria, made without the banana, and eaten with 'suya' (local barbecued meat) and suya pepper called 'yaji' (dry ground chillies and ginger and salt mix). Thanks Mark! REALLY enjoyed this Ivorian series.👏👏👏

    West Africa seems to be generous with their food servings. That’s totally fit for a King, considering they need to eat a lot to be able to fulfill their duties and responsibilities to their community.

      @neverforget1971 False. I've lived there (and 5 other west African countries). They are all very generous in the serving size, no matter their financial status. It's just hospitality. It is an overall poor region of the world, yes, but the biggest cities are doing quite well I'd say.
