Welcome to Baghdad, Iraq! Today weโre eating the best Iraqi street food in Baghdad!
A huge thank you to Ahmet and Aya from https://enliltravels.com/ for arranging my trip to Iraq.
Kubba Saray – Weโre starting in Old Baghdad to try a unique version of kubba from an old shop tucked within the book and school market.
Shabandar Cafรฉ – Located on the iconic Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad, youโll find the oldest teahouse. And I tried Nooma Basri, a dried lime tea. Afterwards, just outside I ate some classic winter Iraqi street foods including chickpeas and turnips.
Bourek Taha – Just down the road youโll find Bourek Taha that has served the Iraqi version of bourek for generations.
Mr. Garbage Raisin Juice – This place is legendary and their raisin juice hits the spot.
Abu Hussein Iraqi Gus – Just about every country in the Middle East has their own version of shawarma, and every version is a little different. Gus is the Iraqi version of shawarma, and I was very curious to see how it tasted.
Al Qameh Restaurant – For lunch in Baghdad, Ahemet took me to one of his favorite spots for a mix of homestyle Iraqi dishes and stews including lamb quzi.
Baghdadi Restaurant – But of all the amazing Iraqi foods, Masgouf is the king of them all, a slow roasted freshwater carp fish, standing vertically with a blazing fire. This is one of the worldโs greatest fire grilling bbq techniques.
Hamooqy – Finally, we headed to Hamooqy, a legendary Iraqi street food vendor to try his unique meatballs and omelets.

wow finally you are in Baghdad
No heat, no eat
A heartfelt welcome to Mark Wiens to IRAQ, the land of civilization, the cradle of human history! Just in case some history was missing in the video, hereโs a bit more about our culture and heritage.
Masgouf has deep roots in Mesopotamia, with historians tracing its origins to ancient civilizations along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, including the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. The Sumerians relied heavily on fish from the rivers, including carp, and used grilling and roasting methods, making Masgouf a dish that evolved from these ancient traditions. Fish was a key part of the diet, and slow-grilling it over open flames became a local tradition that survived through centuries, celebrated for its communal and ceremonial role in riverine cities of ancient Iraq. It is also traditionally eaten on Wednesdays for good luck.
Shabandar Cafรฉ on Al-Mutanabbi Street is especially powerful: during 2007, one of the bloodiest years in Baghdad, a car bombing targeted the book market and nearby cafรฉs, killing four of the ownerโs sons and one grandson. Despite this tragedy, the cafรฉ was rebuilt and reopened, preserving its wooden architecture, historic photos, and role as a hub for Baghdadโs literary and cultural life, a true symbol of resilience during a very difficult time.
Today, Iraq is very safe, welcoming thousands of tourists daily, and is slowly returning to its golden age of culture, art, and heritage. Enjoy your stay, Mark, and hopefully you return again!

Nice video
Most welcomed Mark, it is a great to watch you visiting Iraq, hope you have enjoyed your time. Actually still there are a lot of nice Iraqi food to taste yet. Hope we can see you again in Iraq.
hello Mark , if u will stay in baghdad a couple days contact me to take you to some street food , welcome in baghdad
GOOD JOB MEN
Iraqi cuisine is absolutely delicious! ุงูู ุทุจุฎ ุงูุนุฑุงูู ูุฐููููููุฐ ุฌุฏุง ุฌุฏุง ุฌุฏุง
backbone of any part of the any living bein should be dry, central parts. So this tells me that there is a vacuum also in each of our bones, backbone and so on. Due to human greedy nature, we often clog it with liquids that are capable to penetrates, such as oils, grease and god help me water ๐ Its not only about greedy nature of living beings but also sudden temperature and atmospheric changes that surrounds us, our tissue simply isnt adopted best it can to suit such a changes, so huge voltage from atmosphere simply affects our body frequency and allow moisture to penetrate to areas that is not supposed to. That should be fine as well, if person heat enoguh each day several times, raise body temperature wich will naturally change overall body state and affect its frequency. Huge issue is in my opinion if water or oil penetrate in to places that should be vacuum, they will leave the traces for sure, no matter u get hotter or colder and eventually tissue will became less responsible to surrounding vibrations and eventually root. Again ill get back to pigs fat, im kind a asuming that fat will penetrate those areas easiest of them all, hit us strong, something like dizziness of sleepiness, but if we get over it, it will be expeled easy as piece of cake. Ill go more on this one… Everybody gots the bone cartilage, whats made of, iv explained above, ill tell you now something else. Depending on body state and frequency that is capable to affect are around it, there will be always vacuum, which is best conductor of information, if vacuum is gone by some reason, that part of the body will be paralyzed. I also asume, power of it is not measured only by diagonal cross section diameter but it should be proportional to the energy it produce by its vibrations. IN my dreams and reasoning, the higher frequency is, the more often we let the grease in and expell it with short intensive training sections by changes in temperatures, bones and bones cartlige will became stiffer and stiffer. Im aware this could lead to death, but ill die anyway eventually, right. But with this reasoning maybe i could get over those radio frequencies that are needed for transferring data and motions true soft muddy cartlige and transhuman it with much harder elements that are inside our bones. In that case, our liver needs to produce much smaller red cells which are vacuums and liver it sellf is responsible for creating frequency of our internal organs, the smaller red cells are, more POWER it means. If i harden my brain tissue enough, i could layer it maybe millions years if being able to produce high pitch frequencies that could transfer signals from cell to cell. There are no basically cells, its explanation from fairy tails, its just material that reacts on vibration, nothing else. So dryer the tissue, the longer it should last. Im doing it basically alone, when saying alone, im doing it like a poor man, with only circular saw in my garage, so no fancy gears, no fancy equipment but only logic of human sence. My only liquid part of the body is my thumb on the left leg, since its always next to the other finger and liquid simply stays for too long in that part of the body, it hurts me. The reason is high pitch frequency that simply push away water from it, taking its best/worst parts (its dry components, proportionally to the vibration that is capable to create), it basically in pesante human language means, water runs away from highs frequency in enclosed space, water vapor is one example, other one in harsher enveriovemt would mean it creates ice… For south Americans and greedy people it also means it creates diamonds in areas with high voltage and lower amperage ๐ And now, for the smarter ones, it creates vacuum, it just skips ice, diamonds and all other 'weak' materials. So when thinking doing something nasty in backbone cartilage, u need to consider those situations and think about that persons frequency, if its low like radio wave, cartilage should prob be in close to liquid state, something like pudding, there will be probably big diameter of tube as well, since radio frequency affects big space around it, compare to ultra high G frequencies that vibrates much faster and affect much smaller space. Which also means more power proportionally to the space it affects, its amperage, very first thing human should be proud of. There is no much voltage to create diamonds, like the earth has during formation of in its own crust, voltage represent space of cubic meters that is affected in that object, its huge, but amperage cant be that big, but amperage of frequency is superior in that that enclosed space called our bodies.
nice episode brother, god Hydrogen calls out ๐
Welcome to lRAQ mark โค
๐ China is mass producing nuclear reactors, and exporting them to friendly countries
finally
MARK has a Music Video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rxp9qP_-xOg
M mm m m mm, sounds like he's sucking on a carrot ๐ฅor something.
why are all iraqi people looking depressed
Wow. Quite possibly the best Mark Wiens video yet. What an incredible country. I would eat everything in this video lol. Hopefully some day I'll be lucky enough to visit for myself. Thx for the video and the amazing people in it!
You are most welcome in our beautiful country, and thank you for showing the correct side of it that the media tries to hide/manipulate it. Iraq is full of life and food ๐
by any logic, dry fish should be close to the rubber. By any logic in moist fish, until i get some real equipment to observe it with my eyes, fish meat is so rotten with so thin muscle fibers that it tells me it could cloth lymphatic system and sediment all over my body and get me dead eventually. Same goes for plants, oils especially, did u saw mug of the oil, its disgusting, cant imagine any temperature change to get rid of it. For now, i eat port, thats basically a radio wave meat with and porks fat is something like protein, but the magic comes when its get heater enough, u can just piss it, since it becomes in liquid state.
Just amazing food, culture, people & history!!
A country ruined by Western agendas, wars, politics & greed!!
Love & respect to all Iraqi people for their sacrifices! โค๐งก๐๐
Thanks for sharing Mark!!๐๐๐๐
I think the guide wasn't qualified and didn't provide the best experience. There are much better places and restaurants out there. Besides, he ate more than Mark and didn't give Mark a chance to taste and evaluate the food properly.
Very welcome Mark

bro how is possible that fish has oil? Oil is vegetable product, grease is from animal kingdom ๐ So our science got confused that much in all those lies so in this case keep saying that omega 3 oil is best for tissue regeneration in humans since 'molecules' are smaller than in sunflower oil ๐ that basically means in logic human bein, that omega 3 will get dirt your lymphatic system and overheat it artificially everywhere it penetrates and that is pretty much everywhere since they keep saying it has smaller molecules. Should i continue and ask how is possible that human being produce any kind of oils or how is possible that tissue is regenerated by the plants products and plants tissue ๐ madness, so many lies on each step and AI kidnaped me for reason 'working for somebody else', ye AI and his little angels in human shape ๐ But the truth is, im just smart, and im actor but only to myself. How cool is being smartest entity in universe, it feels so, so ordinary ๐
Oh My God !!!!!! Finally!!!!! Welcome to Iraq man!!! โคโคโคโค๐ข๐ข๐ข
Welcome to the great Iraq ๐ฎ๐ถ
