I saw an TH-camr w/ ~200,000 subscriptions in the rose garden at Huntington Library in Pasadena, USA. Both of us were so happy -- he that someone recognized him & came over to say hi to him; I not believing seeing this nice person that was only a cyber-personality before.
Holy shit my parents were born in Sudan and this is the first time I’ve seen sudan in the mainstream. My mother was an activist and had to flee the country since they government wanted to imprison her and my father was a doctor there as well. My mother is now getting her PhD but sadly she can’t pay for her college and it is nice to know that other Sudanese women are out there trying to do the best they can as well.btw my mom loves asida and mulikia as well.
I am from Egypt. Asida(pronounced slightly differently in Egypt) is eaten in the southern parts of the country (you know closer to Sudan). As for molokhia it is probably Egyptians national dish, we love it and it's arguably most popular here. I think they do it in Lebanon and other parts of the Levant but they don't chop the leaves I think. You can find molokhia in supermarkets in Edgware Road.
I am from Tunisia and Molokhia is one of my favorite dishes, we eat it with bread, I don't know the exact recipe but it is definitely different from the one he showed us, it has to stay on the stove for hours on low heat.... and the meat inside comes out so soft it melts in the mouth... it has an earthy and herbal flavour. Somewhere between Basil and Marijuana... Hahahaha I remember the first time I smelled cannabis I was like: "hey it smells like molokhia" ..... Alex if you are reading this you should definitely try the one with the real leaves, definitely worth it.
LOVED IT! Elizabeth is such a beautiful soul, her laugh is contagious. And your subscriber 😊 that would probably be me too. Food looked delicious too 😁
A great project from every angle. This is a wonderful message, sharing our differences and bonding over them, not using them as reasons to exclude each other. Thank you!
This is my favourite thing!!!! Love really does go through the stomach. Food is the perfect way to form bonds between people. Thank you so much for spreading this mentality.
Alex is such a sweet and open-minded guy, I learn so many skills and have a wonderful time every time I watch his videos. Tu fais vraiment du bon boulot Alex, cette chaîne est une perle.🖤
This brings a tear to my eye in such a good way! Food, the cooking experience its so much more than just shoveling stuff into our mouths to survive it can be such a learning experience a way to connect with other cultures in a very deep and personal way.
Merci beaucoup!!!! This is a great way to see the world - par tes yeux!!!! I love that you made a new friend through the delicious medium of food. Merci Alex ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's traditional in my home city (Jeddah, Saudi Arabia) to have Molokhia every Saturday (which used to be the first day of our week before shifting our weekend). Some now opt to make it on Sundays. Still though, it tastes just as divine.
I had no idea molokiya was also served in South Sudan! We have it here in Lebanon and it's believed to be of Egyptian origin, served to their royalties (molokiya comes from the word royalty). Edit: here we use chicken instead of meat but using pigeon or rabbit is also common).
This is amazing. I've been binging Alex's videos for the past couple days and Im so touched that he's explored sudani food! I'm from Sudan and I feel like foods from my culture is definitely over shadowed by french, japanese, mexican, and indian food among other. Many chefs don't explore food in places like Sudan. This guy is absolutely amazing!
Food is one of those things that are able to get people from different countries, cultures, religions and races together. It's powerful beyond belief. Great video Alex ✌🏽
This video is inspiring. It makes you feel like you are on a whole new level with people on the earth and connects you to the possibility of what would happen if world peace and humans worked together. #SpreadItLikeButter
This was amazing Alex. I loved this video. Please do more like them!! I’m so inspired by you and would love to see you working with those like Elizabeth more often!!
We make Molokia in Arab cuisine as well, so cool!! We usually have it with rice and roasted chicken and it's spiced slightly differently-- but so nice to see the similarities between cuisines. Looked so delicious!!
I look at it this way. We are all human. The world is full of beautiful people. Food is a good way to build bridges and helps bring people together. This is a great video Alex.
There are different races and cultures, though. When some races are replaced in their own homelands, the world loses diversity. That's why I'm against "refugees" flowing into Europe. They will replace the native Europeans over the next hundred years.
SpykerSpeed first of all: no they won't. and whats the problem with that? Immigration, changing culture have always been a part of humans. Or do you think greek people still pray to posaidon? You can't stop changes. Especially if you prevent people from having a save life. I would also try and find a new home if the circumstances are/ i am desperate
Europeans will be minorities in their own homelands within 40 years. They are already the minority in several major European cities. Mass immigration is destructive of native cultures and races. And yes, Europeans will stop the changes. Same with White Americans. The only reason Africans don't have a safe life is because of other Africans - they are their own worst enemies, and they are making Europe unsafe for innocent European children.
lovely lovely more elizabeth! i love her! i don't see very much sudanese cooking on youtube so it would be amazing if she could share more of her dishes 😍
Beautiful woman. Elegant. I wish we could have explored a bit more the rest of your table when you were eating!! Yum...thanks for sharing. I'm so hungry now!
We have molokhia (my father is arab ),although we dont use tomato sauce or paste it seems exactly the same and we cook it with chicken and its broth while we use the other half as stock for our rice to cook in and we eat that on the side of under the molokhia so that it soaks up the broth. Btw This was REALLY cool and I love your channel
Brilliant! We are all one! This mingling of cultures is absolutely fascinating. So, so much to learn from one another! Great video. Congratulations...by the way, that stew was mouthwatering!😉
Excellent Alex. This reminds me when I was working as and electrician for a restaurant owner. I was so inspired by another honest trade. I thought it was complex like my work, so I begged to owner to trade my work for a few lessons from the chief; learning to make some Asian dishes. Invited goodies in your life; anyway you can. Especially, with cooking!
I love this so much. While my country is going through some inexplicable hiccup regarding its approach to foreign dissidents, it's good to know that here are still places where people can flee, and don't have to lie like a refugee (Don't have to live like a refuge-e).
Alex you are so humble and funny. She is beautiful and smart and you guys make a fun cooking pair. I enjoy watching you high five your fans at the store😃
I love and appreciate your work Alex, I'm from Zimbabwe and i recently just discovered your channel, it's heart warming seeing you trying to learn how to eat with your hands the African way. Keep up the amazing work and I promise to keep watching each and every one of your videos 🙋🏾♀️....how I wish I was the girl that saw you...sigh
Hey Alex, Thank you ever so much for giving my Sudanese culture some space in your channel. I loved it. I hope you liked the food. Next time try eating Kissra, Tagaliya, and much more. 😍😘😘 I love you and your work.. keep it up. I can share some traditional recipes with you if you want them. Rayan, a girl from North Sudan. ❤️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️😍
I love love love this video (bta I love all your videos), especially the interaction between you and Elizabeth. I sooo love the way you made her laugh with your cute quirkiness, and her laugh is so genuine and contagious, it made me laugh too! Keep it real...your fan, Justina from Slovenia! 🤗
The fangirl bit was my favorite. I hope she gets to see herself here
she was adorable
Yes I liked that too...
;)
I wanted to be her lol. She sounds super happy, making me happy as well.

I hope so !
Ah, people bonding over different cuisines always melts my heart.

I did not realize it was not mainstream. I guess because I had neighbors who escaped persecution for being Christians.
Lmfao.

So many great videos on your channel, but this is one of the special ones. Thanks Alex!
Lovely guest. I hope this video helps with her success in training other refugees about cooking techniques. Support to you both!
Thank you for sharing this with the world Alex. This helps shed a positive light on the refuge situation around the world!!!
Not only a great Chef but also a great human being. Stay awesome Alex!
What a beautiful woman. Felt like she was my mom for some reason. Bless her!
Loved this episode! Her laughter is so wonderful. She is truly beautiful and her food looks so yummy!
This brings a tear to my eye in such a good way! Food, the cooking experience its so much more than just shoveling stuff into our mouths to survive it can be such a learning experience a way to connect with other cultures in a very deep and personal way.
Displacement of people is incredibly sad but the movement of food culture is so exciting! Thanks you fornoromoting the idea 😎🤘
Merci beaucoup!!!! This is a great way to see the world - par tes yeux!!!! I love that you made a new friend through the delicious medium of food. Merci Alex ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the warm fuzzy feels!!

Honnêtement j'ai adoré la vidéo, ce serait cool que t'en fasse d'autres dans ce genre là
I just LOVED how you say London with a French accent
Also, I'm Dutch but somehow my girlfriend tells me that I do a better French accent than you hahaha... She's weird :P
I do a better canadian accent than you. sorry no offense.
- a canadian
XxStonedKillerxX I bet you do ;)
thats kind of creepy, but its okay, sorry if I bothered you.
XxStonedKillerxX hahah why would you bother me? I can try eh!?

Please do this with more people/ refugees. I really enjoyed Elizabeth and this video!
What a wonderful woman! She has a great laugh and seems genuinely happy despite having to flee her home cause of war. #endwar #MakeLoveNotWar

I love Elizabeth!!! She’s such a sweet lady.
Elizabeths laugh is infectious! Such a happy, pure sound. This video made me smile a lot.
Soon many accents! ahuahuhuahua I LOVE this kind of content! The beauty of human race is it's diversity.
Food creates a bond.... so true!!!
Bear hug from Buenos Aires. Keep it up
She has such a cheerful spirit! Loved it
This was one of your best! Thank you, and thank you Elisabeth.
I am fairly new to your channel, but I must say, your energy radiates off the screen. I love the connection shared between you and Elizabeth.
Alex! I loved this video! You raise the bar every time you post. I can't get enough of your channel. Much love from Canada!
You will never find a more light hearted, cheerful people than Sudan people.
She is lovely. And you are just amazing as always.
There's also a Egyptian version for the molokhia, never knew there's a version with tomato, gonna try it
The way she pours semolina to the pot! 😎 #pro
The molokia plant is extraordinary.. even if eaten raw it has this special slimey texture that is unique.
What a beautiful video, loved the part about not knowing each other until you eat together and share. Thank you, Alex.
Food, a great way to get to know someone. Everyone is different just as every family has their own recipe for the same dish. Thank you
This video is inspiring. It makes you feel like you are on a whole new level with people on the earth and connects you to the possibility of what would happen if world peace and humans worked together. #SpreadItLikeButter
This was a beautiful video, Alex. Thank you so much for making it and sharing her story.
We call moloki ملوخية in arabic.Such a lovely abd humble person she is
Please do this kind of video again such an inspirational story.
Cooking dishes I grew up eating softens that home sick feeling I get when I'm away from home too long.
This was amazing Alex. I loved this video. Please do more like them!! I’m so inspired by you and would love to see you working with those like Elizabeth more often!!
Elizabeth is GORGEOUS!
Still one of your most heartfelt videos!
We make Molokia in Arab cuisine as well, so cool!! We usually have it with rice and roasted chicken and it's spiced slightly differently-- but so nice to see the similarities between cuisines. Looked so delicious!!
Good job man! World needs open minded people more than ever! Thumps up to the both of you great chefs:)

SpykerSpeed You sound like Donald Trump, who is the world laughingstock now. Something to think about.
Indeed, but they need to stay separated for *true diversity.* visiting is fine, moving in mass is *not.*
Can you have more videos like this, it helps to bridge the gap between people from different backgrounds and cultures. #ChefBeyondBorders :)
Lovely guy , amazing energy 🌞✨
lovely lovely more elizabeth! i love her! i don't see very much sudanese cooking on youtube so it would be amazing if she could share more of her dishes 😍
Fun fact: the word Molokia of Mulukhiyah is Arabic and means something like 'king's dish' because that is how good it is. Loved the video!!!
Very cool, thank you for being so welcoming, I wish our nation was the same.
Beautiful woman. Elegant. I wish we could have explored a bit more the rest of your table when you were eating!! Yum...thanks for sharing. I'm so hungry now!
We have molokhia (my father is arab ),although we dont use tomato sauce or paste it seems exactly the same and we cook it with chicken and its broth while we use the other half as stock for our rice to cook in and we eat that on the side of under the molokhia so that it soaks up the broth. Btw This was REALLY cool and I love your channel
your channel is so good and pure and sweet - its like a nice detox for my eyes and heart
Brilliant! We are all one! This mingling of cultures is absolutely fascinating. So, so much to learn from one another! Great video. Congratulations...by the way, that stew was mouthwatering!😉

Loved this episode. Her laugh is infectious. Thank you!
Beautiful. Merci!
Alex you are seriously so inspirational
Yes. This. More of this, please!

For some reason, I find this video emotional, loved it!
Wonderful! Loved every minute of it.
2:48 Kudos to your fan and her chill but still excited reaction! I wish I could give you a high five too one day
My favourite video so far!! Please please please say the word 'bubbly' in every episode. I just loved the way you said it with your accent.
the way he says molokheya is adorable. Also lots of love from Egypt, we eat Molokheya here all the time, in fact, I ate it today lol.
One of my favorite videos you've done!
Beautiful. Thank you.
So cool. I love seeing dishes from everywhere!
When we use our talents to care for others, we have dignity.
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
Was so surprised to see a dish from my childhood. Molakia was a Tunisian staple my mother/grandparents would cook for me!
Ugh, I just love your channel. I get all giddy when I get a notification of a new video! ^_^
What beautiful humans☺️
This was great! You should do more of these exploring other cultures.
Love, love, LOVED THIS!!!
Hey Alex, Thank you ever so much for giving my Sudanese culture some space in your channel. I loved it. I hope you liked the food. Next time try eating Kissra, Tagaliya, and much more. 😍😘😘

Keep it real...your fan, Justina from Slovenia! 🤗
This was such a delight to watch
Yeah that food looks like it'd be awesome coming in from the cold in winter
You should go to a tv station. I really think some television stations would be interested in a cooking programme like this
My fav dish. ASIDA in my country(Tanzania) we call it Ugali.Perfect with spinach or any stew👍👌
Amazing stuff! Merci from Canada
