There's a large Somali community in the UK. Where I live (Sheffield) they are really nice, a bus driver was being a dick once and made me pay full fare (instead of student fare) and I didn't have enough. Long story short, a Somali woman behind me paid for me and said that I was the same age as her son, and she would want someone to do that for her kids. They may seem reserved at times, but they are an Amazing group of people :)

I had Ethiopian cuisine while working in Washington State, I remembered wanting something different to eat and the parking attendant asked if I wanted to try Ethiopian food that he knows of a good restaurant. They served a hug palette of vegetarian and a palette of meat dishes. Had to eat with our hands and it was very good! I actually liked the vegan dish a lot. The Somali food looks great as well and eager to try it if I can fine one in my area. Thanks for increasing our awareness!

[@sababowden2374]

+Damascus Steele I'm half Ethiopian on my mother's side and half New Zealand European on my father's side. My mother was one of the first Ethiopian's in the country and became an Amharic interpreter as large Ethiopian community had developed in Auckland, New Zealand. Because of my mother's occupation it has enabled her to be extremely close with the Ethiopian community and I have had the privilege to be exposed to the wonderful cuisine my entire life. I absolutely love it! There are no Ethopian restaurants here so a lot of the people here know nothing about the cuisine, so I am so delighted to see when people from other cultures have tried the Ethiopian dishes I have grown to love! My entire childhood I was convinced nobody appreciated the culture as much as I did; so it makes me so happy to see comments from people like you and buzzfeed videos of people enjoying the cuisine!

La ilaha illah, you are making fun of a "somali" which is in your own countries name "somali-land"? You support a government which is based upon qabil which is so backwards and you dislike the idea of unity? We are not like pakistan and india. We share the same language, culture and ancestors. Galada wants us to divide so it is easier for them to invade in the near future. Your not thinking about the greatness, your only being prideful. Imagine if somaliland, puntland, jubbaland, ogaden, etc, all chose a president and prime minister, then there would be another supreme government were these leaders would then be nominated to be emperor of Greater Somalia. look at US and UK. Mortal enemies have unites to form a super force. But no... qabil-ist like you are holding us back. Down with qabil-ism. Up with unity. Maybe one day horn of africa will be like the EU and have same currency and passport. Maybe AU? Abyssinia Union. Who knows. - from a fellow somali.

Somali nicknames are likely based on appearance and looks and probably behaviors. they mostly sound rude but be assured they don't mean to be rude. Don't take offence

[@marymahamoud4906]

[@asdf7108]

Finally! Was waiting for a Somali cuisine segment. I feel like Somali cuisine is one of the most underrated cuisines out there! I'm also reading the comments and love seeing how other people are saying such kind things about the Somali culture!

[@AmeliaAirheart]

I think the banana was meant for the rice and chicken. I am Somali and have never seen anyone eat a banana with injera. The sweetness of the banana goes well with the rice dish or pasta, but not injera.

[@ayyylmao8434]

Tbh I eat my injera with banana

[@nfnmrm9652]

+tripletthreat97 it's not injera it's 'anjera

[@zahramohamoud6066]

+tripletthreat97 yes it's for the rice! When he mashed the banana I cringed lol.

a000199 yes laxoox if you are from the North. We got this food from Yemen because it is the same as our version. I think they call it lahooh too right?

Nice to see new cultures in these videos, not the usual ones....

[@rileymarieowens1490]

There's a Japanese dish where you pour tea on your rice and add seaweed, ume boshi (pickled plums) or both. I have to tell you it's one of my comfort foods. I also love your videos because I can tell you genuinely understand the concepts of a wide variety of food and you are really honest in how you present them (like you're not an all knowing expert or try to sell me the food, you just say what it is exactly) Thanks for your content!

You lost or not it's consin you dear we don't know Somalian so keep Kuwait Somalia is one👏

[@anisa.......6592]

Bismillah giving charity is not something to brag about specially when you are the one who gave it out........, sounds embarrassing brother....... leave that behind and work for the future improvement.

[@geletoz]

@@anisa.......6592 naa shut up, when you give charity and the fool you gave the charity to comes and burns your house, is it bragging to remind them? You are extremist to the point of stupidity...we will tell the whole world and generations to come, "qayr ha sameen shar kuuma imaado" I belief that saying is even from arabic..you probably think every carab is related to prophet Muhammad scw

I never had the breakfe. yet but I always wanted to try their injera that was a lil different from Ethio/Erit. But i love somali food, especially shai the somali tea with milk (I use almond milk) its so good. Good job, I live in columbus ohio and we have the 2nd biggest population out side of Minnesota, love Somali people and culture, There is also a independence day held here to by Somalis. When are you going to do other African descent restaurants? What about soul food? cant leave the african Americans out. 1 love.

[@CartyCantDance]

Wow, who else can go into a community like that And instantly connect over food like Lucas Peterson?

[@J235304204]

Your comment about food is pro and legit, not like other videos where they just like, OMG! it tastes so good, OMG! and just start looping from there, good job on actually describing the food as it is. Also, respect for eating with your hand. It is not disgusting, it is trying authentic food with authentic method. Deliciousness is not important, strange food from other culture doesn't always taste good if you haven't learnt how to appreciate them, trying something new, learn something interesting about other culture is the most important part.

[@Mikeski1969]

Awesome job guys!! Great friendship and super delicious attractive cuisine

[@seank7413]

There are a ton of African cab drivers in NYC and African Uber drivers in the suburbs. They're honestly the nicest, if you're tired and don't wanna talk they'll respect that, if you're feeling talkative they'll have great conversations

"small eyes" - ouch haha.. but you're in their joint, not much you can do! Lucas is a good sport, and seems like a real dude - down to earth. great episode. reminds me when my friend brought me to a Bangladeshi hole in the wall in NYC -great home cooked food, lots of guys sitting in a big group eating, making jokes, and making fun of me.
