I love and adore how you share your traditional Azerbaijani culture ❤ This is the first channel to educate me about Azerbaijan! Lots of love from India ❤❤

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@renujayajaya]

Azerbaijan should reward you because now many of us want to visit Azerbaijan and eat your cuisine:)

[@edcrfvtgbyhnujmikolpqazwsx]

You just made Azerbaijan climb very high on my bucket list of places to visit. I want to try those incredible dishes!

[@JamilaMusayeva]

So happy to hear it!

[@AykaAngelina]

In Azerbaijan, we sometimes eat food with our hands, it is not so common, but we do it. But we never eat rice with our hands, only with a spoon.

[@Bri-ss1gu]

I would _love_ to try Azerbaijani cuisine. It looks delicious!

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you 🤍

[@Papeeshka]

you look like a Disney Princess ❤❤❤

[@theguyver4934]

She is gorgeous

[@ellasoriginalchannel9713]

She does

[@sonicfan2337]

Yeah she actually does I totally agree with you

[@NadiaHassan-km7gg]

Been to Azerbaijani household before. Nice people and nice food.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Happy to hear that ☺️

[@abigailtrumbo178]

This was so beautifully explained, and I’m surprised at how many similar things we eat (and names for dishes) in the Middle East. And it’s inspiring because I have a son who just LOVES fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, I will have to start making him Azerbaijani meals 😂

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you!

[@aynurhasanaliyeva]

happy to see such a beautiful azerbaijani youtuber

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you!

[@jhankritisharma7607]

We have the same cucumbers and tomatoes in India as well and we also eat them with meal as salad 😊 And the tandoori roti and the sabzi and the pulav And we also eat most of our food with hands only (including rice). Using forks and knife is very western style. Eating with hands allows you to consume food at right temperature and flavour. If it is too hot or cold, it’s not good for our body. Same way if it is too spicy or too sweet, that is also not good for our body and the traditional culture tells to use what dear God has given us to identify the right measures of our food

[@heidiheidi0]

Those small cucumbers and tomatoes are international. lol. We have them in Scandinavia too.

[@sukoonginger]

@@heidiheidi0 salad is common to almost all cultures, quit being a b itch about it. op was simply sharing her experience

[@ikkl000i]

​@@sukoonginger finally, smn has said it.

[@Skdjjddhhd]

@@heidiheidi0yes but (probably because of the temperature or the soil itself) it tastes really different in different parts of the world. Same thing with every agricultural product. Scandinavia is not famous for its freshly grown sun-ripened vegetables like Mediterranean countries does but also I’m not enjoying the Salmon we caught here like I do that is imported from Norway 😅

[@Skdjjddhhd]

In Azerbaijan and in Turkiye (we have quite similar cuisines and habits) eating with hands is not that common actually. Like, yes, we eat wraps and sandwiches or some fruits with our hands (like most of the western countries do) but I never saw someone eat rice with fingers. Every country has its own eating etiquette and eating with hands is not something we love here. In casual occasions we do prefer spoon over fork and we rarely use knife though.

[@fidanasadzadeh]

I had so much of this 'dümbek' that my grandmother and grandfather used to make for me in our small village in Tovuz. They are no longer alive, and I've been living abroad for seven years now. Thank you, Jamila, for this video and for bringing back so many childhood memories.

[@ilariamasullo3353]

Can't believe the coincidence, I'm watching this video on my phone while walking home and the very moment you mentioned feijoa I lifted my gaze and spotted TWO feijoa trees in a garden I was walking by! 💚

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Love that!

[@foconnor2794]

Thank you for show your culture in this exquisite video¡

[@zabavnaya-xt8tb]

You look so fabulous in traditional attire ⭐️☀️🌟 Keep up the great work, miss Jamila 👏

[@rahmahussein2743]

The way u watched the whole video while I don't even know the place nor do I have plans on visiting the place is just amazing, I also loved that we have almost the same kind of food in Tanzania 🇹🇿 with slight difference in how they are served but huge huge similarities in Pronunciation and how they are prepared. Its amazing. Once again thank you Jamila

[@JamilaMusayeva]

You are welcome 🤍

[@Carmen0777]

I would love to visit Azerbaijan one day, thank you for sharing your culture with us Jamila. The food looks delicious, I made plov before in our home and it tastes amazing. By the way you look stunning with your national costume dress Jamila.

Do you have a video explaining the beautiful clothing of Azerbaijan? It's like a perfect balance of western and eastern traditional fashion, it looks like the fantasy clothing in fairytale movies that people dream of wearing.

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you! Good idea 🤗

[@thomasanders1314]

Am I allowed to say that I'm in love with this look and traditional clothing?♡:) (Lamb, feta cheese, green olives, pickles, traditional bread = this is my world.) Not forgetting about the super inspirational desert.:)

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Yes you can!

[@aleksandrakusior9262]

Amazing presentation. I love each and every dish you’ve presented. Everything looks delicious and I like the azerbaijani names of the products. I would love to visit Baku one day, it’s on my bucket list :) Greetings from Poland 🇵🇱

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thanks so much!!

[@decemberclouds]

Yes! I'm so glad you did this. Your video on breakfast cuisine was my favourite. I understand what you mean about the scent of fruit and vegetables. I came from the Southern United States, which is more agricultural and I could really smell the fruit and vegetables in the farmer's market. I had the same experience in Paris - I would walk around food stalls just inhaling the scent of fresh produce!

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thanks for sharing! ☺️

[@muhammaddanish4633]

Jamila you are so beautiful and nice, I am in Baku now and you are the first KZbinr who I am watching to know about Azerbaijan food and culture. Thanks alot for your lovely informative videos. ❤ Lots of love and respect for you and your beautiful city Baku.

Perhaps you should take a vacation across Portugal in the summer. Our cucumbers and tomatoes are deemed awesome, mostly fully organic and nothing to do with the American ones. Spain also has amazing ones.

Your culture and even your vegetables are much like persian food. we have ghorme sabzi قورمه سبزی in Iran as well as some of your cheese and salads. Im surprised that no one from Iran hadnt already comment here. Also we have lavash لواش and it is very much enjoyable.

[@nk1645]

Everything looks amazing....

[@nikitamisra.]

Hi Jamila! I absolutely loved your video on Azerbaijani etiquette. Your detailed insights and beautiful presentation made me appreciate the richness of your heritage even more. By the way, I noticed a small error where you referred to "naan" as "naan bread." In India, it's simply called "naan" since the word itself means bread, so "naan bread" is a bit redundant. Otherwise, your content was perfect! Keep up the fantastic work!

[@JamilaMusayeva]

Thank you so much!

Nice to watch as usual. I would suggest not to comment on how caloric food is; it's not very “appetizing” and it might be triggering for some people

Video is amazing as always,but Azerbaijani cuisine makes it more beautiful!Each time when I am eating with my family,and when I am trying to cut Kebab with a knife and pork,everybody is staring at me in a strange way (like are you crazy)and they are laughing at me so being surrounded with my family I enjoy my food with my hands and forget all etiquette stuff😂😂😂Cause it makes me feel awkward and uncomfortable 😅😅
