Sonny, how can your tongue/mouth/stomach eat everything as you do? Were you very hungry as a child, or food was all weird to you, or you were beaten if you didn't eat everything on your plate, so you learned to just "through thr lips and over the gums, look out stomach, here it comes?"

[@grovermartin6874]

​@@thefuture12It is his shared experience of the parts of his exploration of Ethiopia. We saw the great market of Addis Abbaba and some of the taste experiences there. I found it ALL fascinating. I will not likely taste REAL Ethiopian coffee in Ethiopia, nor travel to visit the people of those three tribes with superlative translators. Would you also say that the Navajo, the people the hollers of eastern Kentucky, the Basque cowboys of the great western plains, the Maine lobstermen, or the Cajuns of the Gulf Coast are not real Americans? We all come in many flavors aside from the stereotypes of our nations or tribes or regions, don't you agree?

Jesus Christ wants a personal relationship with you through the Holy Spirit, not religion and blind faith. You see, we all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ, fullness of God in flesh, a perfect, sinless sacrifice to pay the penalty for our sins by dying on the cross and resurrecting, so that we may have everlasting life. It is all finished and now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and Bible says that His Blood will cover all of your sins, you will be forgiven, saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit, become born again, know Jesus personally and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read the Bible, pray for the Holy Spirit to fill you and change you, obey the Word. Much love and God bless you!

Sonny, This was such an insightful video. Some of the dishes looked tasty but as for the raw meat, the blood, I just don't see how you got it swallowed without gagging and perhaps hurting their feelings I have to say that I really enjoyed how genuinely nice and hospitable the ppl of Ethiopia are. The one young wife had it all going on with her alcohol and tabaco and even had her girlfriend doing her hair! I have a difficult time with slaughtering animals. I spent some very young years of my life on a farm that in every sense of the word, was a working farm. 365 days a year. Come rain or come shine, hell or high water, tornados and twisters. It was a self sustaining farm. We grew our own fruits and vegetables. Canned our food and stored root crops in our root seller. Milked our own cows and made our own butter, had fresh cream milk everyday. We raised hogs and made our own sausage and smoked our own bacon and ham. Made pickles and Sauerkraut as well. We all worked hard but my little heart got so broken when the very animals that I had been feeding everyday and loving on was being slaughtered. Chickens, cows being loaded up to go to the slaughter house. I think you get it. To this day, It breaks my heart. The only way I can get through it is to make their death as quick and pain free and respectful as is possible. I thank GOD for HIS provision. Then I am somewhat okay. But I don't think anyone or anything could make me drink warm blood. My Uncle used to make blood sausage every season. It was on the meat platter along with the red-eye ham steaks,bacon, and eggs fried in bacon fat, I was always a curious one about cuisines of all kinds and willing to sample, once at least. That particular early morning, as the meat platter was being passed in front of me,y Uncle asked me if I wanted to try some and I said yes, just a little please, not knowing of what, I had gotten myself into. It wasn't bad but the irony aftertaste I just couldn't deal with. Everything else, fabulous! I see you have developed your pallett to experience and enjoy some of my gastronomy tastes that are absolute deal breakers for me. Great video Sonny. I love learning about all the food, culture, social mores. I really do appreciate your respect, participation and the humbleness and fun you have enjoying all kinds of ppl.

Ethiopia 🇪🇹 and Eritrea are one country. Politicians have divided our country for their own political interests

[@kharris9359]

​@@veryrelitrans3025True. Long live Abyssinia!

I love your show so much! Your happy and ooen persinality and sense of humour also nakes it so fresh! Hi from Australia

[@mars963]

I have a friend in Ohio who is on vacation in Ethiopia as I am enjoying this documentary in Michigan. It was a stroke of good luck that I came upon your exciting travels there. Your openness in eating new foods and sincere interest in the different cultures is remarkable and refreshing. You are an excellent ambassador of America !

[@Yoditah]

Loved this, and thank you for showing all the different sides of Ethiopia & sharing with others. I can't believe you tried some of the foods you did, I would never dare, LOL! But it was great.

[@bettiraige3474]

I am so amazed by how the simple act of feeding someone else by hand like that. It's intimate, and kind, but you really have to trust the person has washed their hands.

[@selam1353]

The Hamar lady Girma is a blast, low key fun and super gorgeous 🤩

[@PRETTYCHANEL585]

As a Ethiopian young woman/mother I’m so grateful I know my roots and to teach my children where we are from ❤✨☺️

[@chrism5971]

I live in DC. We actually have the largest Ethiopian community outside of Africa

[@unclechinsyou8555]

The fact that we get free Food&Travel videos on KZbin by Sonny is truly a gift.. 👍👍👍

[@mdelles]

With all the raw things Sonny has eaten over the years, I would love to see what an analysis of his gut microbiome looks like compared to the average american

[@AbuHajarAlBugatti]

Way healthier

[@francisadams-u9l]

I have visited Africa. Ethiopia was one of the countries. I had only the time to do Addis Ababa and a few other historical sites. I had no time to go to the Bush areas of Ethiopia. What an eye opener this video was for me. I had no idea that such tribes existed in the borders of Ethiopia. Raw meat. Liver, gizzards, stomach (with poo) all still pulsing with life. Sir, you have my undying respect eating such raw living meat. I don't think I could do it. When all this crazy nonsense in the world is finished, I would like to go back to visit Ethiopia. IF you can eat raw meat, I think I can too. BUT, it want to psyche myself up first. I have friends who saw this video. I asked them, "Could you eat that?" With out missing a beat, "I WANT THAT BILE, LIVER, AND STOMACH!!!" I hope to bring my friends with me to the Bush part of Ethiopia.

[@phoenix0000]

Thank you for showing the glimpse of Ethiopian diverse cuisine just like its ethnic groups. Much love Sonny

[@cantagiousca5220]

Diverse? There wasn't a single white person in the video except for the guy that made the video

[@xynesq150]

Hell nah. Nasty as fqk

[@TurnAwayNow]

I love that we get to see how extremely diverse Ethiopia (only 1/54 African countries) is. Such a vast culture(s); Amazing.

[@Afrikan254]

Because African countries constitutes of diverse people.not as mostly portrayed like a single Nation or culture

[@hayatomer7470]

Man, I am from Ethiopian and I am not aware such wild life within my country. thank you for sharing anyways.

[@DavidKarapetyan-ki8zx]

I am Armenian and love Ethiopian coffee and Ethiopian people and culture

[@Zerfuasres23]

😍

[@nico_outside]

Im traveling and vlogging Asia now but i cant wait to visit Ethiopia. I’ve tried the food before and loved it! It will be great to get it from the home❤

[@shewa952]

Well come brother

[@tavibabyy]

I am black American and I feel so connected to them this video made me so proud to be from African descent I want to visit all the countries in Africa it’s so different and unique but beautiful the people there look like us

[@tyjuanbennett7594]

Me too

[@maxmitev9262]

22:58 probably this made you wanna go and try it, screw civilization 😍

[@ultramiddle4991]

@@maxmitev9262Or at least shop African grocery stores and see how close a person can get to living that way wherever they are. ❤

[@hamidcherif3398]

you should! each country is unique in its own way. Dozens to hundreds of tribes in each country, each with its own dialect. Even the security situation is exaggerated. I spent 9 years in East Africa, 6 in central, and one so far in the West. I still have so much to see that i wonder would i even get the time. the continent is amazing and has good future ahead no matter what the media says.

[@kittysnowshoe6475]

yeah but you're west African... these people are EAST African and a completely different people to you.. that's just like a British person trying to claim Greek culture or an Italian thinking they are also somehow Norwegian just because... Europe..

[@ramajyello]

Going all in, on the Ethiopian food culture as you did, was a very brave decision. I honestly couldn't.

[@Deneir0]

Love ethiopia 🇪🇹 from jamaica 🇯🇲 thanks sonny and team🙌🏾

[@Ari-ep2ub]

I had Ethiopian Injera one time 8 years ago. I love it so much, I'm not kidding, I still think about it almost every week 😭

How can I send you Injera Please?

Go to an Ethiopian restaurant

[@moa5351]

I love it too. Flew Ethiopian Airlines and hooked since then. Plus Teff is gluten free

[@KitesaMiresa]

i really appreciates this out standing guy. this guy know how to live with ups and down

[@poloncanucic8345]

Thank you so much, very nice documentary. I wish them all enough rain to grow and have enough food to live a happy life.

[@berekettaffese4940]

You sir! have represented everything Ethiopian absolutely correctly! I commented a few videos ago to take a local around and that's what you did! awesome video!

[@MrsMistahM]

Literally the best ever food review show. I love how in depth, not just the food, but in the culture, the people, the history! Thank you for everything you do!

[@madameallsy8359]

In Indonesia eastern part, we also eat cooked blood with intestines, but we added lime juice so it's more fresh taste. Totally love it eating it with rice and hot chilli.

[@jenjabba6210]

ETHOPIAN food is soooooo good ❤ Excellent show!

[@Walrus286]

Soooooo good. I put EXTRA bile on my raw cow stomach. What about you?

[@lanazh2443]

​@@Walrus286How to tolerate that?

[@mrpickles-hb6zx]

Fuck no.

[@RobertaBehnke]

You are so creative and have a love for other cultures and ways of life. You present them in the most respectful way. Thank you for that. If National Geographic would partner up with you as long as you get “creative control” I think you would be a huge hit and also revive National Geographic. As a child of the 50’s and 60’s I thoroughly enjoyed National Geographic. But you Sonny are the star of the show with your narrative skills. And I think your “on camera“ presence is a MUST!

[@damonicajones4396]

Wonderful, as an American of African descent I was fascinated with this tribe. You're so kind and brave to eat the raw food.

[@villhelm]

Which tribe? He visited numerous tribes in this video..

[@thisguyny8379]

I really appreciate your dedication to digging as deeply as humanly possible into the various eating traditions of these communitites. Thank you for respecting indigenous peoples.

[@deedee9049]

This is an amazing documentary! I enjoyed it thoroughly and laughed quite often!

[@MeleseMD]

Welcome to Ethiopia the Land Of Braves.....Everyone is always helpful and peaceful to the foreigners

[@Nimoes_archive]

Wow I gained a new level of respect for Sonny, thank-you for asking them questions that other people might be afraid to ask. And also for enduring a lot of stomach churning foods for the sake of communication and education! :D

[@kharris9359]

Yeah, I'd be sick so often that I'd turn into an alcoholic!

[@bridgetbrooks2504]

Truely amazing your food journey Sonny. From Minnesota to the world!! Don't know you, but as a mother of sons, proud of you!

[@diorG18]

Am watching this video for the second time in a while, and it really makes me feel proud of my country and culture. Thank you for your great work!

[@afarinbagheri2895]

sonny is proof that you can state your opinions and views without being or sounding biased. a true traveler's job well done.

[@cantagiousca5220]

There's not a single white person there though,with all the cultures in the uk these days everybody is scared to upset another culture here,everybody's treading on egg shells,differences in politics,food,religion,unyet somehow Ethiopia manages to preserve its culture while European people are being washed away down the sink right now,in the UK now there are so many cultures here that you cannot tell who the welsh,Irish,scotish or English are anymore

[@cantagiousca5220]

Here there are around 130 languages spoken,nobody can communicate because the majority of these people don't speak English, it has created separate communities and some are hostile towards each other because they were previously at war with each other before they came to the UK

[@mrpickles-hb6zx]

He's being biased, he knows damn well most of this is disgusting

[@PrettyM_theasianmovielover]

Even as an African, there's no way i am eating all those raw things.. i love the other cooked stuff though .. and i think i avoid food of cultures i dont understand because as an African, i know every cultures have their believes and i dont want to consume something that will end up giving me repercussions .. i don't intend to undermine any culture though but You're brave. Cheers 🥂 Asides that, i love the diversity of Ethiopia.. Africa, in general is indeed beautiful.

[@NeneLelu]

I love this episode! It's so wonderful to know about other people's culture and food.
