ABIDJAN, COTE D’IVOIRE - Welcome to the beautiful country of Côte d’Ivoire (also known as Ivory Coast), in the heart of West Africa. Abidjan is the biggest city, and home to some incredibly tasty street bbq - including a unique vertical bbq and some of Africa’s fastest BBQ! Today we’re going on a full Ivorian street food tour!
A huge thank you to my friend Mo Soumahoro from Belle Côte d’Ivoire ( / bellecotedivoire ) for arranging my trip and setting up everything!
1. Breakfast - we started early in the morning and headed for a rare dish of steamed corn with thick sour milk porridge. It was unique and very hearty in the morning.
2. Plakali - One of the most beloved Ivorian foods is plakali, a thick stew of crabs and seafood with cow skin and okra. It’s a dish with so many components and texture and absolutely incredible.
3. Fried snacks - When you’re in Côte d’Ivoire you don’t want to miss all the delicious fried snack you’ll find all over Abidjan. It was awesome to hang out with Yasmine Fofana ( / afrofoodie )
4. Pique chicken and fish and Ivorian choukouya - From this entire Abidjan street food tour, probably my favorite dish was the pique chicken and fish and the West African choukouya. The chicken and fish were skewered then marinated in spices and pepper then grilled in a sandbox - vertical bbq style. It kept the meat juicy and full of flavor. They also made delicious choukouya, where the chicken is first grilled, chopped, and mixed with onions and seasoning. It’s absolutely amazing.
5. Market + sandwich - Next up we continued on this West African street food tour at the market to see some local ingredients, and a tasty onion and egg sandwich.
6. Brochette and bread - Another classic Abidjan street food is grilled small skewers of meat stuffed into French bread with kankankan. It’s one of the fastest grilling techniques I’ve seen, and unbelievably tasty.
7, Grilled meat ending - Finally we had one more stop to eat more grilled meat, choukouya. Can’t get enough!

I lived too long in America and I feel it’s time to come back to mama Africa. The Ivorians are one of the nicest people in Africa, I love you Ivory Coast and thank you so much for hosting this tournament and hosting all your African brothers and sisters in your very beautiful country. Best luck to you, much love

@amine4412 3 ай бұрын

@@zzzzzzzzzz9370 first of all, most Moroccans are not white, second, you focus so much on skin color and customs but even within your own country , there are different tribes with different customs, different religion . If you go to any family brothers have different looks and different personalities, but that doesn’t make them not brothers . God created us all different but he gave us on father and one mother. It is mentality like you that differentiate and separates between brothers and it is sad to see. Maybe we have different colour tone but I can guarantee you that we both have the same organs inside, a heart left, and we both have to eat and drink to survive. You don’t know the positive History Morocco and Ivory Coast shares and if you are someone that is racist , I know many Ivorians who are genuinely feeling we are brothers and that is the normal between majority of Ivorians and majority of Moroccans. Good luck

The seafood boil is basically Gumbo like they cook in Louisiana. It is always humbling to see how many of the ingredients or techniques followed the ancestors through the Middle Passage to the Americas. Thank you Mama Africa. We didn't forget!

@kazaam25 9 ай бұрын

While they seem similar with the main ingredients, the starting point is very different as Louisiana gumbo starts with a roux, where as is Ivory Coast, we don't use a roux at all. I love making some Louisiana gumbo, though. Oh, we also don't use sausage in the cote d'ivoire gombo, and Louisiana do not use dried okra in theirs. Potash is also used in cote d'ivoire to ensure the sliminess of the okra is accentuated, whereas Louisiana uses gumbo file.

If you been to all the west Africa countries then you would know that Abidjan is totally different, with all the sky scrapers and high rise apartment buildings and huge tollways with traffic and red taxi cabs everywhere and the people are very French And if you don’t speak French they will turn their nose up at you

I love watching your videos Mark! This was so eye opening, as an Southern African American I see similarities in their food and how my grandmother made onions and tomatoes and peppers with almost every dish, especially greens and grilled meats!
