Thanks, Mark, for taking us with you to a place that most people will never be able to afford to visit. The palm is well known throughout the tropical regions of the world, but this dish is truly special and unique. I found it intriguing that the palm nuts, when pounded, gave a liquid that was reminiscent of curry! And then the added peppers and chilis would bring a flavour similar to a curry. I think that the use of the banana leaves around food and, here, at the bottom of pots is something from the African cultures and comes to us in the Caribbean also: e.g., Conkie in Barbados; Paymie and pastelles in Trinidad; Dukunnah in the Eastern Caribbean.....they impart a unique flavour but also effectively replace processed oils and added fats, transforming it into a very health kind of cooking. No frying!

With all the effort that took to prepare this meal, it has to be 'stunning'. I love west African cuisine for incorporating two of my favorite ingredients in their cooking. Lots of onions and chillies

This is for sure, one of my favorite ones. The adorable monkeys just add to it and that man singing was beautiful! ❤

I really believe that people should explore more natural foods in nature. In a world of highly processed food people have lost touch with there taste buds and nutrition.

Modern humans have forgotten what real food actually is… no wonder why most people are sick. But the biggest problem is technology use.

I can't stop salivating. That's my favorite sauce for rice. I prefer palm nut stew to tomato stew, and I must confess, this ivorian 🇨🇮 palm nut stew is one of the best if not the best I've seen so far. Though i've not tasted it but i bet it will be too delicious. I'm from Nigeria, Igbo tribe and we also make one of the tastiest palm nut stew. But this ivorian version is impressive

I would absolutely love to come to West Africa there. Every person was so welcoming. Not to mention the incredible palm nut and seafood stew. Thank you for sharing Mark! I can't wait to see what's next. Susie in Ky.

Mark has such a kind demeanour. I love all your reviews especially West African as I’m from Southern Africa - from a landlocked country and most of these don’t grow in our climate nor do we have easy access to seafood rather fish from lakes.
