Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire – Welcome to Toumodi, a town just outside of the bigger Yamoussoukro, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). And today Germaine is taking us for an Ivorian bushmeat tour where we’ll be cooking and eating some of the tastiest jungle food delicacies of West Africa!

We’ve eaten our way through the beautiful West African country of Côte d’Ivoire and today we’re in the heart of the country, home to the Baole tribe. Along with a rich culture and food, they are known throughout the country for their love of bushmeat and wild meats which can include deer, rabbit, and one of the most prized meat delicacies, agouti which is a huge rodent that’s also known as a grass cutter.

First, we stopped in the town where there’s a cluster of roadside restaurants specializing in bushmeat of the day. They had rabbits and deer, and I was excited to try some of the local deer. The meat is first smoked to preserve it, then it’s cooked into a stew with lots of tomatoes and chilies to make an incredibly tasty sauce. We ate it along with pounded local yams, which is locally known as Futu.

We then headed to the jungle camp where we first had a free range grilled chicken with plantains and chili sauce. I also had my first taste of Ivorian banji, palm wine tapped directly from the sap of the oil palm tree. It’s something truly spectacular, a perfect balance of sweet and sour.

For the agouti, it was put into a traditional clay ceramic pot, with onions, tomatoes, and chilies, and simmered until tender and juicy. It was so tasty. We ate it along with yams, plantains, palm oil, and of course, more banji.

It was another incredible food experience in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa. A huge thank you to Germaine and Mr. Pokou for arranging this incredible time. Also thank you to my friend Mo Soumahoro from Belle Côte d’Ivoire (https://www.instagram.com/bellecotedivoire/) for arranging my trip and setting up everything in Côte d’Ivoire.

  1. Hey Mark, i love you videos and have been following since a long time. I miss the part when you used add the COST of the Meals in local / USD. Can you start including it again? I know some experiences are meant to be enjoyed.

  2. Dude is a one man billionaire. Edits and recording is literally just him and his wife and maybe sometimes a videographer. Saved so much money eating in the best but cheapest places educating everyone at the same time.

  3. I wanna know how uncomfortable your poops are… be honest… after all these years.. there is a reason youre so skinny… worms!! Haha jk love you dude keep.up the amazing content!

  4. Mark,
    This was so much to watch! African people are so welcoming, respectful, humble, kind, and giving. It goes to show we don’t need anything fancy to make some great food. It all comes from the love we have for cooking. It was an honor watching these videos 💝

  5. I feel bad for the little guy those wild bush rats are very intelligent and they can sniff out landmines….no thank you couldn’t eat it

  6. where I'm from the chicken you get here are these monsterously big fast raised chickens that are super fatty and tasteless, when we go on holiday in Croatia the chicken there is just amazing they are a lot smaller and have so much flavour, Meat is so much better if the animals have lived a natural life instead of being kept in a building where they have no movement and just eat all day long being fed with stuff to make them grow fast

  7. I love how Mark is really trying to show us genuine and authentic cuisine of different cultures from different country, he even went to a small village and interact them. Other vloggers wouldn't do it and would only stuck in restos but you, you went to next level of authentic-ness

  8. MARK IT IS NOT THE WILD, THEY LIVE WITH NATURE AND AWAY FROM POLLUTION.
    MORE PEACEFUL, ORGANIC, AND BETTER AIR
    THE WILD IS THE CROWDED CRAZY CITIES AND TOWNS
