    SENEGAL, WEST AFRICA - Today we are in a small village to meet Musa and his family for their Eid al-Adha celebration. They are preparing a whole goat that will be fried to go with rice, and stewed to go with Senegalese style couscous. It’s an honor to be here and I can’t wait to share all of the delicious food with you!
    Welcome to a small village, not too far away from Joal Fadiout in central Senegal, West Africa. Musa and his family kindly invited us to their home for an amazing Eid al-Adha celebration. First we began with a unique breakfast porridge that was made from millet flour, kneaded into small pellets and sprinkled into hot water. The result was a delicious porridge that you eat with homemade sweet yogurt.
    For lunch, the family prepared two Senegalese foods, a platter of rice with fried goat, and a platter of millet couscous with tomato goat stew. For both dishes many of the same ingredients were used - tons of onions and garlic, green onions, chilies, black pepper, tomatoes. Seasonings and ingredients were pounded into a paste and the fresh goat was marinated. The rice was cooked in the oil and broth of the goat. For the couscous it was quite a unique process, steaming, then mixing with baobab sap and baobab leaves, then steaming again. The result was an almost fluffy sandy texture. The couscous with the fresh goat meat tomato stew was a highlight. So good, and cooked with so much love!
    It was an amazing day of village cooking Senegalese food in rural Senegal! The food and hospitality was unforgettable.
    Thank you to Pape Tatandiaye (Visit Senegal / papetatandiaye )

      this is amazing , reminds me of my life when I was small in the old country , this is great , you got your organic meat and livestock , family and home cooked meals rural lifestyle
      I can vaguely remember my childhood , watching leopards chase wild sheep on the mountains with binoculars , I was too young to use a binoculars so I didn't see much except when the leopard jumped on the sheep , I also remember finding caves in the mountains with clean running water filled with crabs and shrimp and plants growing on the walls and small waterfalls with cliffs on either side and shallow waters with fruit plants growing everywhere with cliffs all around , I still remember the day I found a crab and I brought it home and we ended up eating it one day after a few days
      we had a small sun area in the living room , kind of like a green house in the dinning room that was used as a small pond area , instead of plants we had water , I put the crab inside and the first thing it did was eat my goldfish , its amazing how fast the claws catch something, I had two goldfish one black and one orange , it ate the black one which I think was a male goldfish and the orange goldfish kept trying to attack the crab to save the black goldfish but the crab would not let go , and I could understand since the crab was hungry and I had not feed it anything because I didn't know crabs eat meat but there was nothing I could do , so we decided to eat the crab , I didn't want it killing the other goldfish

    I was wondering why they didn't serve the porridge individually, but I realized eating from the same plate creates a bond. One can see that love on display when Musa was tearing off pieces of meat and dropping on Mark's and little Mica's side. Very communal culture. I know very little about Senegal but I'm learning a lot through Mark. The people seem very polite and warm. And the food looks delicious. Although East Africa is my favorite part of Africa, I'm very interested in Senegal now.

    I appreciate that you don't overlook African cuisine. Nor other foods from other cultures that are usually bypassed. I adore you and I love your enthusiasm for food and for people. Your videos always put a needed smile on my face. I consider it a blessing that I came across your TH-cam channel.
    Blessing to you and yours❤ may you always be full of joy.

    I can’t believe how much Micah has grown! I remember when he was still being carried around in the harness! I kind of giggled when he asked how spicy it was. I was like, “hasn’t Dad taught you ‘If it’s not spicy, I’m not eating it?’” HA! I loved their hospitality shown to you and so special to have sacrificed and shared that fresh goat with you! ❤

    Mussa is exceptional. That hospitality is on another level
