Eating on the Floor with NO FORKS!! (Mauritania)

THE FOOD IN MAURITANIA IS SO GOOD!
I was lucky enough to be invited into a local home for a traditional lunch today. Little did I know they dine while sitting on the floor and eat with their hands (no spoons, forks or knives). I cannot decide which I enjoyed more -- the taste of the food or the entire experience in itself. Let's just say both!
They dressed me in a "boubou" - a long, white, loose-fitting traditional garment that is typically worn every day by men. All I can say is that life is great out here in the Sahara desert!
Music: Epidemic Sound
P.S. Do you want me to do more food videos? To be honest, I prefer cultural/people videos over food, but if this gets good feedback then I will sprinkle these in more often!

Tastes like meat with rice
Every country in the middle east have a dish of rice and meat

True and greetings from Pakistan!
Backup Account but we don't make rice balls. Arabs do that
And in Somalia we do that
And Philippinos
That's just nasty mscheew , please eat with spoons and forks like civilized people.
The last thing she said when he told her thank you “shukran”. She said dont thank me its my duty. And arabs traditions hold the guest so high they consider it as a duty. Which is most generous
Yep here in Lebanon🇱🇧 you will enter a house with 50kg and exit it with 150kg😂😂
I am not even joking the parents will just be like cmon eat more it is not that much or do you want more? And if you say no they will say that you did eat nothing😂and insist
I love it lol
That’s facts and my brother (best friend) is Egyptian
smile face thats a fact everywhere in the middle east im from iraq
I thought she said your welcome
khalid Kassem in Arab traditions the guest is treated like a king/queen
There is a heated debate going on in my comments; I am changing the original comment.
can we hit 500 subs with no videos he probably didn’t have any ideas for the name of the title
Rashaenka not anything in this world must follow western standards. There’s a thing called “tradition “. Get out of you bubble fer a change
Same lol
Nop we don't do it
@Rashaenka it's simplicity, once a wise indian said, why eat with two sticks when you have 5 fingers 😂
I’m really touched by this. Mauritania is my dads country and he always tell me stories about it. I feel like it’s like an anonymous country Unknow by a large part of the world. And seeing you bringing it up and showing a little of how Mauritania is makes me smile. Thank you ❤️

I misread the title as “Eating with no floor on forks!”

A friend sent me this video, and I was really surprised that you actually came to Mauritania! If I knew I would have probably contacted you and make you visit a lot of interesting places, Mauritania isn’t only about sleeping and eating, there’s actually a lot of interesting places to visit, camel rides, long walks at the beach, dunes sliding, going on small traditional fishing boats “pirogues”, you can also visit banc d’arguin national parc, a small paradise with clear water where you can spot dolphins, whales, and a lot of other varieties of animals and birds ! And we also have the eye of the Sahara! The mystery that scientists can’t solve, The Richard structure, or if you’re interested in history you can visit the old libraries of Chinguitty, full of magical old books, oh and you can also visit the terjit oasis’s and a lot of other things..thorough the video I noticed that you only stayed in and didn’t try to experience the outside with local people; it’s such a shame that you didn’t get to experience a lot of things in this beautiful country ! But thank you anyways for visiting my country, watching this video made my day and I hope someday (maybe) you’ll comeback in here and get a real experience, you won’t regret it I promise !
Sorry my English isn’t very good, I’m an 16 years old Mauritanian girl that also enjoys visitings, travelling, new cultures etc..
Much love!
i really loved that! and I wish that I can visit mauritania, im from lebanon. (btw your english is good)
Hello Soukeina, hope you're doing good. I'm visiting Mauritania in 2 months. I speak Arabic, but I find the Hassaniya dialect hard to understand. Would you happen to have any advice on how to learn it?

Hindus,Muslims everyone
@@khanandsomaya3315 arabian peninsula all used to, and on many occasions still do eat with our hands
the richest people here in Dubai eat on the floor with there hands it’s traditional here
EDIT:You should eat with your right hand only
Yeah i would like to add that It is necessary to eat with your hands if you want to fully enjoy ur meal👅😍
You should only eat with your right hand because thats what us muslims should do
@Tiktok Is cringe yea
💩 too bad if you're a left handed muslim. Che!
We Indians also eat from hand in floor
Am i the only one who is asian who is eating with hands? 🤨🤨🤨😂😂😂
We Indonesian Muslim eat with hands also 😇😉
yeah its just a cultural thing not religious oof
I can't even think about eating without fingers...!! It's our culture and I am not shy about this. I don't think it's mandatory to follow always western culture. Stop eating without fingers is like stop eating without chopstick for Asians...
Same I'm Indonesian
Me too
Much Love Mauritania 🇲🇷 Yummy food!
The way she made the rice ball with all the condiments/assortments reminds me of how my grandma used to make and thought us. We do the same. Continents apart and we still eat the same way, amazing world we live in. I want to visit this country in my life once atleast
Who else goes straight to the comments when watching a video?+as always great video.

wtf Mauritania stole our senegalese tradition
That’s how I eat to by the way I am Yemeni.
Islamic and Vietnamese: *You wouldn't get it*
Yep
Everything I've seen of Mauritania looks great but it's such a shame about the amount of trash in this region. I wish the leaders would invest in creating a better infrastructure for waste management.
Yeah so they start to throw trash in the ocean like Americans, Europeans etc.

I have been binging on these videos ! So heartwarming i feel like i am the one who has travelled to those amazing places and interacted with those amazing people.🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Wow! A beautiful culture in Mauritania just like mine back home Somalia, we eat on the floor with our hands and mostly we eat jointly then the tea is served, everyone lays down a little bit to seattle, we share the same belief I'll visit there one day.
2:27 - 'This is called rice with meat." Idk why I found this so funny, did anyone else? 😂
i think its an asian dish called pilov or osh
Meanwhile my mum:
Sit in the table
Eat with fork
Trueee.
in somalia we do the same
😂😂😂 give us credit mate
Yes, we do same bro
Actually yes✅ we do the same in Somalia
In Pakistan we do the same too. In my house we have spoons but my mother say eat with your hands. Food becomes more delicious if you eat with your hands😋😋. And its also our Sunnah
Intaanan video ga furin somalibaan moodayay
His English is PERFECT 👌🏻 👌🏻 👌🏻
You are more then welcome in Mauritania 🇲🇷❤
That tea is super concentrated green tea.. And has a kick like an expresso..!!
Barry Irlandi 💚
I never understand why is eating with hands and sitting on the floor such a big deal? Did the start of humans come with houses and dining tables and spoons and forks????
Wow drew you really get involved with local culture. I like this new relaxed detailed approach. Your old bulletin version style felt realy summarised and rushed. Keep up the good work!!!
U need to go to Senegal 🇸🇳 and Gambia 🇬🇲

You go anywhere people are so friendly and hospitable. You just need to understand them first.
This is cool and that. But if this is the only video you make in Mauritania, then is shows that it is quite a boring country

Basically, Mauritania ISNT a boring country, he just didn’t properly visit it!
@@soukeinatomy2362 he enjoyed the company of his friend and even if the country looks boring the people are great. the people make a country so i liked it a lot.
pink Fungi I’ve never said the opposite, I was just saying that in case people do think that Mauritania is a boring country which is actually the case.If he just wanted to spend time with his friend then why film it and say “This is Mauritania” no it isn’t, Mauritania is a lot of things.
@@soukeinatomy2362 it did atleast tell you about how people like tea i guess which is quite generic as tea is like most common beverage after water and like making videos is something he does now amd this is mauritiana is a good titlle. and a good night to you

You should Visit Morocco, A lot of Similarities, & With Extra Fun and a Lot of things To do
Plus , Moroccan are Soo Friendly & The Food there Is one of the Best in the World :)
Inshalla soon I might visit
Moroccan are not so friendly they invaded the country next to Mauritania called Western Sahara 🇪🇭 and expelled Sahrawi people from their land and there’s many Moroccan settlers in occupied Western Sahara 🇪🇭 and Morocco killed millions of sahrawi people there’s genocide
I am from Somalia and we do the same we even look like each other these people
We are the Arab people known with our generous hospitality.

I like how in the title he mentions in CAPS no forks but loads of people do it (specially Asians like me)
its a custom in islam
Eating on the land is nt so special i t happens even in India drew mainly during annadhanas
Is it a custom of Islamic religion or just purely a culture of muslim countries?

In my religion which is Islam its good to eat on the floor and eat with your hands. The reason is that our prophet used to eat on the floor and eat with his hands. The things he did are called "Sunat" So if you eat on the floor without any utensils its NOT bad
