🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

[@renaldolavine8853]

It's true but us bajans prefer them smaller too

[@badfoody]

He's respectful of all the different cultures he visits The main difference is. Sonny was influenced by tv show hosts like Bourdain and Zimmern. He travels to enjoy food Other vloggers are there to experience and look at all the "exotic" cultural things they see. Which leads to some bad hosting and offensive remarks Sonny is there to enjoy the culture not just look at it

[@carrillo209]

And in mex

[@Voodoo3397]

Yeap we eat them in Indonesia as well but not as often. Becareful of any apex predator fish since we sadly have polluted our ocean too much that apex predator fishes tend to accumulate way too much mercury

[@Missuskeefe]

In Canada, rays used to be produced as "the poor man's scallop". They were punched out with cookies-cutter like blades. Delicious. Shark is also very tasty when prepared correctly. You have to spray the skin clean because they urinate through their skin so you can get an ammonia taste if not cleaned properly. Also, those were fish eggs. "Britchens" in Newfoundland, they are SO good. A common, traditional food here. I love the Mexican take on these foods. So many fresh herbs and spices that just aren't available in the outports here.

[@shayannad9314]

I love the fact that he respects every method of cooking and never judging any race or country for how they treat their meat!

Mexico looks real fun! It'll be a foodie's paradise!

[@adriennefloreen]

The ancient cooking method of cooking food by adding a heated rock to a dish of food and water predates the invention of metal and stone cookware. They'd cook food in woven baskets or bowls made out of a gourd that way, because those baskets and bowls couldn't be heated over a fire. Here in Northern California, they used Jade, which boils water faster than any other rock. You can find jade stones with cracks in them and dark spots inside them on the beach, occasionally. They're actually ancient cooking tools, used over and over to boil water to cook seafood on those beaches by the Native Americans, very likely for years. You can use this method to boil water in a paper cup while camping if you don't have cookware, too.
