[@donred1693]

🤗 Hey Dee, I'm staying in tuned with you, loving your videos and appreciative of the good work your doing. Back in 1984, I was stationed there in Phillipines with the U.S. Marines and learned a lot from the Aetas ( Negritoes). The U.S. military contract with many of them via the Philippines goverment to teach the U S Military how to survive in a jungle environment, the training is called J.E.S.T: Jungle Survival Training, which was held in the mountain of the Zimbales very near were you are today. The Aetas have a great amount of knowledge that date back for over a thousand years. Of all the Filipinos they're most likely one of the few untouched by Western standards and culture brought to the Philippines by the Spaniards colonization of this part of Asia and later the Americans soon after. My observation of the Aetas when I was there are that their very intelligent in their own culture and traditions that seem very different from those of the West. They have manage to survive alone and secluded without the help of the Spanish or Americans andbhave so much pride in themselves and their culture. Even until this day 42 years later I often think of the Aetas and the skills I learned from them of how to find food, make shelter using bamboo, make a fire , trap wild animals, and clean ourselves in a jungle environment. One other thing I will never forget is this tree bark which they used a bolo machete to cut from a tree and then gave it to us to bathe with in a lake, to our amazement this bark had the same smell as the Irish Spring Soap that we use here in the U. S. These Aetas may live very simple lives but they have a treasure chest of knowledge.

This video was very informative in regards to preparation of healthy nutritious meals in the Philippine village which Africans thought was only meant for cows.. That reminds me of white American slave owners giving food that they thought was not fit to eat to enslaved Black people, such as Hog Guts (Chitlins, Tripe, pigs feet, tails, heads, tongues, etc, and the Black Americans would prepare some of the best tasting meals. The whites would also give the Blacks the juices from freshly cooked veggies while they ate only the veggies and not realizing that the natural vitamins/minerals were all in the boiled juices that they gave to my Black brothers/sisters which helped in creating some of the most strongest athletic humans in the world such as Mike Tyson, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Floyd Mayweather, Deontay Wilder's etc, of the world. No foods should be wasted when we have so many starving people in the world..💯💯🙏🙏

Dee, you're now a good cook for the banana heart. That's good, at least you learned some Philippines local menu, and it's so healthy recipe.

[@ssb6425]

Banana flower is cooked in India too , it’s high in nutrition. South India banana stem is used in food too. Food is served on banana leaves all over India.

[@glamourdoll2795]

Omg , cooking is really an act of love. I would love to learn to cook in my yard like this.

Grandma is going to be hosting these videos in a little while. 😂😂I heard her speaking some English, lol. More, more like this. Even if she doesn’t speak English she is ready. Let her speak and use subtitles

Why r u shocked? In central Kenya this is a delicacy.

[@yvonnesmith3427]

This is so nice love your video. We learned so much from our elderly family. I loved my grandma and your grandma is so sweet. Life is so simple for you and it shows how complicated our lives are. We need to go back to the simple life. I was in Singapore and got a chance to eat a meal off of that leaf. It was so nice the meal was fish veggies and rice. Great! Keep up the good work!

[@reynoschicote5415]

banana heart is a delicious dish. my mother used to cook it the same way you do but she added it with local chorizo or sausage for added flavor. it is one of my favorite dishes. thanks for sharing this video. goodee luck !

[@michaelhause2669]

We used to cook banana flowers while we were in pathfinder club they are really sweet .we actually thought of cooking them recently unfortunately we had forgotten the procedure 🤣🤣

[@appleheadrobb3391]

Omg, wasn't aware there are African-Filipinos or that they exist. I'm shocked. Anyway, I just want to say that you look beautiful. And the jerry curls on your hair looks fantastic. I love your accent too. Where in Africa are you from?

[@marandeviecaparas6118]

I love banana blossom. You can convert that into burger patties, saute it with garlic, onion, pork, black pepper. salt to taste and vinegar is my favourite. Also you can mix it with flour, eggs, black pepper, magic sarap, salt & vetsin & then fried it like burger patties. 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@janicejames3005]

I have banana trees in my backyard. I am certainly going to try your recipe for patties. Thanks from the Caribbean.🇹🇹

[@MalluG]

In south India, banana stem and flower are considered as delicacies and are cooked with coconut and fresh spices.

[@franklinmakotsi4495]

Dee Mwango that's a delicious meal and I have once tested it in Congo with cassava leaves but it goes well with ugali

[@princessj7192]

Wueeh 😂😂 am so shocked

[@franklinmakotsi4495]

Truly Princess J what we don't eat to others it's a delicious meal to

[@malteeramesar-rampat149]

Yes, I grew up with my mummy making this dish at home, ie at Trinidad & Tobago , a beautiful island of the Caribbean. It is very delicious with roti of rice , when curried.

[@ireneacham9692]

Hi Dee, am really surprised that the banana stem and banana heart is food to the Philippines.

[@amirahamirah6509]

That's really a delicious meal in my province, I've tried eating this once before and its taste good 😊

[@Irandabale]

Dee,when it comes to food, anything is edible,depending to culture. What you may consider inedible is a delicacy to others. I was shocked to learn that caterpillar are a delicacy in C.A.R,! Same to monkey meet!!

[@MC_TravelAdventures]

Yes we eat caterpillars in Zambia I currently have some taking them back to England lol

[@patrisiandeikongholaTv]

Caterpillar is very nice especially when is dry . We eat caterpillars in Namibia 🇳🇦 too
