      Natural food the way it should be. As USMC, traveled many lands, We have learned from True Bush men in Asia and Africa how to eat off the land. Sad that in the USA most of our meats taste much diffrent than naturally fed Meats. Too much steriods in out grocery store meat you have to go in debt to get good Meats and greens from whole foods. Or grow your own. LOL..Good eating.

    To eat, to see new things, and to learn about different cultures, those are some of our philosophical pillars at . I sincerely appreciate the Senufos for their excellent representation. 😍The Bambara beans were the best beans I've ever tasted! oh and the green sauce! Tchonron, so healthy! 🥰 The Bolloye (Panther-Dance) was beyond amazing. 🥳 Some Hip hop historians have given credit to this tribe for break-dancing, they are the originators. The film Black Panther was also partially inspired by this tribe, I invite you all to visit the Ivory Coast!

      Courtesy rather than condescension and genuine appreciation for the hospitality of others.
      Mark didn't go to the poshest places but he did not deliberately seek out the worst spots to push a narrative of negativity.
      I think people are learning. And TH-camrs like Mark will always be welcomed warmly while others like Drew (who ate food off a vendor and put it back! Ewwww!) and the dude with the red headband will be rejected outright.

    The clothing combo today looks similar to a certain mortal combat character. I have to visit Ivory coast after this series. Amazing

    My sister has a best friend who is from Zambia, which is towards southern Africa, I've always wanted to see Mark travel to Zambia so I can see more of my sister's best friend's culture since they live in another state and I can't visit them often. I've also wanted to see Mark come to the Rio Grande Valley in Texas so I can cook Salvadorian dish for him lol!! Here in the Rgv, it's primarily a Mexican culture since we're so close to the border. However, we also have the influence from Texas cuisine like BBQ and other US dishes.

    Firstly, I hope you get better soon, might be the dust. I love your outfit today, great colour and design. I had great hope to visit Ghana but I have to say your trip to Ivory Coast has given me a new destination. I do wish you were served dishes with fresh locust beans as to the dried snd ground ones, personally I think the taste is different. Like tinned and fresh vegetables. That chant was touching. Your wife pounding 😁 she's cooked for you in Africa 🙌🏽 ✨

Please continue to take care of yourself in all these invaluable virtual experiences you bring us all. I read someone's comment stating your videos are documentaries, I thoroughly agree!! You are giving wisdom not only to different races but also to single race's with indifferences (ignorance) between them. May you be blessed for all that you do knowingly and unknowingly. (We want you to always remain healthy, if I may kindly say, please don't be hesitant in setting terms of health (hygiene) and safety most especially during eating. I was concerned for you when watching one of your videos, it is fine to share a bowl but it is not right to share bodily fluids.
