The original aboriginals of Assam/NE are also Sino-tibetan like the Bodo-kacharis (Boros, Dimasas, Chutias, Koch, Moran, etc), Mishings and Karbi. So, it is obvious that the cuisines of all these groups will be similar as they branched out from the same ancestors.

I love the connection between Mark and the people of the tribe, these people seem very pleasant, they cook with love. To help to cook the dishes gives other focus to the video because I don't believe that the motto of Mark "I travel for food" be literal, I think that he travels also to understand the different customs, ideas, and ideologies of many people. Travel stimulates the experience to learn, admire and respect other cultures, developing tolerance, compression, empathy.

I am captivated by Mark and his explorations. I can't really explain it yet, but I can accept it with gratitude. I seem to learn so much about the food, the culture and everyday people. This is quite a revelation to an old man who thought he was settled in his ways. Thank you Mark. You have reintroduced me to myself. And, for some reason, I have become concerned for your health and well being. I want you to get yourself thoroughly checked by some great doctors. I am sure that I am being just a "worry wart", but my instincts are screaming to me about you.
