  1. I'm Malian, so I have a few suggestions. Next video you should prepare yassa with lamb, chicken, or beef, tigadegena with lamb, or zaame' (our jollof rice).

  2. This video make me
    Love watching white peoples eat I love them
    Culturally when they try stuff but why the black ppl always act like they don’t know wsupn like the attike video and now her in the blue just eat

  3. You needed a wider sample of Americans – maybe older. If you did have them, they'd at least say it looks like creamed spinach or correlates to collard greens or okra stew. If from New York, they'd have said Trinidadian Callaloo for sure. It's literally a dish found via African enslavement in the West depending on who is preparing it. Always a salted/stewed meat with a green vegetable, seasonings, and sometimes okra. This dish isn't so foreign among most Black people familiar with Southern/Soul/African American cooking.

  4. The first pic of that food looked like some bats head ,with is it, I remember going to an African wedding here in Australia. Yrs ago they served this but I had no clue what it was so never ate the food.
