I love this vid. I would love to try this. I'm a vegetarian, and I was surprised that they didn't use meat. I understand that it's expensive. I wonder what the vegetable was exactly.
Is this "modern" bush cooking? The flour is so white! I'd have imagined they would use some nice wholesome stoneground brown flour. Shame to see the modern world seems to have spread to the remotest African village!
@beautylicious101tips yes they should totally stick to a staple crop poorly suited to the malawi climate. also the rest of the world should stop eating potatoes because they're indigenous to the americas. gotta keep it real, yo!

The only thing I can say is I wish I could taste it. I stayed in the "bush" a few days and I have to admit. The food was out of this world and I just could not understand how the could make such good things so easily. Of course ask what it is after you taste it or else you may not want to. One meal was like this carrot soup, this delicious chicken (ostrich neck) and some breads and salad greens. It was the best. Yes Ostrich neck is just like chicken breast meat. You can't get seconds tho.
Please make more of these! This is fantastic! There are so many programs that talk about food from other cultures but they don't ever go into any detail about how they are made and the ingredients they use, this is the first thing i've seen to do this! Great work :)
@Supermassively LOLWUT? In modern lingo "chronic" refers to something that is really good. It comes from dank weed but these days can be applied to anything you like. For example...the food these african people are cooking looks chronic as fuck.
I don't cook, I'm 16 years old and I'm a guy and I dont know why I find these videos so interesting even though I have little to no interest in cooking
When you move out of your mom's house and start cooking you'll suddenly care. Scorched food only tastes good for so long before cooking tips are interesting.
wow this was....... so much! fascinating, joyful, inspiring, touching and beautiful! and i like the animation very much. good job. thank you very much for sharing.
beautiful family / community. we could learn alot from these cultures. they are closer than we will ever be with all our cell phones, computers, 50 hr/week jobs etc.. not saying i would give up my home, but the closeness they have it like old times we never get to experience. i felt bad that they have such broken pots. i wish i could at least donate something like that to them. just some newer cooking supplies. when those pots wear out they probably have to be creative to get more. God bless em'
i loved this! but you know this culture in a way it's more advanced than many others, why? because they have learned to work together (and i mean really working together, like a team), they know what a real family is, and they know what partnership means, we may say the definition, but is something we don't really know, especially on todays society.
@revolverbangbang My thoughts exactly. I am an American who is not poor at all. But I would feel honored to sit and eat with these people. Not only because the food looks delicious, but because these people seem like good people who really care for each other. They pull together to make things better for themselves and they have a good life. Western society could learn a lot from these people. Much more than just cooking.
@leakyspacesuit Exactly, my point as well. I'm honored to have an South African as a best Friend and they are some truly amazing people from such a cool continent.
Loved this! Brought back memories. of years growing up. In Zambia, it's called Nshima and they use maize meal instead of cassava. Same concept though.
Loved this! Brought back memories. of years growing up. In Zambia, it's called Nshima and they use maize meal instead of cassava. Same concept though. Then you have a "relish", either veggies or a meat on the side. Closest thing to nshima in US is grits or polenta.
Thanks so much for an interesting, positive vlog about African cooking- now to track down or find equal substitutes for items not easily found in US- this is a great base to work with!
I was impressed until I saw soy pieces. And i was like oh no, modern food has made its way everywhere. Soy is bad business. Unless its tofu or highly fermented.
@kaox44 Dude, there are 53 countries in Africa out of those 53 there are only 4 countries that are unstable/war. Why not just visit the 49 African countries that are NOT at war? Malawi (the country rep'd in this video) for example has NEVER experienced a full scale war...which is more than can be said for America.
Head deep into the bush? Why? Most of them don't live in bushes. They aren't Animals. Some live in Jungles but not bushes. But anyway interested in learning my cultures food.
@SuperJadeDragon Dude, that's just what they call it..'the bush'. It doesn't mean they live in a literal bush. Bush just means like trees and other vegetation.
This was amazing. Thanks so much for sharing it, and I do hope there are more to come. First, it's great to see how other people in different parts of the world nourish themselves, and secondly it makes us SO appreciative of what we have. Most of our poorest people have much more than these people, and yet all they do is moan about what they DON'T have! Do you have a working stove, oven, fridge, running hot and cold water? Food? FLOORS? If so, then be grateful.This food looked great, BTW. Thx!
Thanks for educating us of other cultures. Well done Video. Keep on educating. I think the Narrator did an excellent job considering English is not his language. Great job
terrific piece.I have seen documentaries where the showed how the flour was prepared from the plant. this is a contiuation and very interesting. as usual your work is well done. was this near where your grandfather lived? interesting. thankyou
I love this! I've been hooked on Depression Cooking for a while, and this is a beautiful progression into another culture that cooks with what they have. Great editing, and well done!!!!
i'd prefer if the woman doing the cooking were also the one doing the talking. if there's a language barrier, it's understandable, but i'd definitely rather hear from the cook in her own words. if not knowing english was the case, maybe vincent could have acted as a translator!
i like shows like Bizzarre Foods and No Reservations, but this is so much more fullfilling because the cook himself is the host and really doesn't have anything to prove! He's just simply sharing what is normal eating for he and his people every day, not some dorky American TV host doing most of the talking. man I enjoy this stuff, hope to see MUCH MORE!
Fascinating! This is cooking from a different, and surprisingly fun perspective. This is what the internet is all about -- bringing cultures closer together.
its heartening to see how humble n difficult life can b....i thank god for my comfortable life n promise to give back as much as possible during my lifetime.
@geekygirl85 Building materials vary around the world and have little to do with the availability of produce. Chances are they either grew or bought the veggies and definitely bought the packaged goods. In case you missed it, the males in the society work for money. Funny how people aren't so different, eh?
I like their smiles. I'm sure the food tastes good, too!
He says soya pieces but I think it's a fake meat made from soyabean. Ironic thing is soya meat is more expensive than real meat in Japan as it's more healthy. Honestly, I feel very ashamed...
Excellent look into a culture we in America know little about. These dishes look very delicious and prove once again that humble, inexpensive foods are often the best.
I love it! What a great look into a different culture and their food. It reminded me of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations - I love that show. Keep it coming! :)
Wow, cooking right on your dirt floor! Having to chop the wood before you can even begin! And did you see that they saved the salted water the lettuce was in, to rehydrate the soya pieces? Great use of resources; very simple cooking. But the food did look good, and it was nice that they like to eat communally. With all the work involved in getting the wood and water, it's a good idea - both thrifty and fun. It certainly makes me appreciate, even more, how lucky we are here in the U.S.!
Cassava flour is also known as tapioca starch and it is what the poorest of the poor eat when they cannot afford corn and in Malawi rice is considered a luxury.
A prolonged diet of inadequately prepared cassava with a lack of protein can cause a permanent paralytic condition known as konzo which affects women and children.
Outbreaks occur when food security is compromised and cassava cannot be properly processed.
Ensuring food security in countries like Malawi is essential.
Nsima is the staple food of Malawi and can also be made with sorghum (traditional) or cassava.
It is bland and tasteless on it's own and nutritionally poor, when Malawi was experiencing it's most serious food crisis the maize required to make Nsima was in short supply.
In Malawi a meal is not a meal without Nsima and their diet has remained very traditional with very little outside influences.
Meat and rice are luxury items while fish is a staple along with vegetable relishes.
Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing. It IS so very humbling to see these people with so little, dealing with so much over there (AIDS, war, general crime, etc.) but have such spirit and joy.
By the end of the video I was craving for nsima & relish,I have eaten similar from a Kenyan friend, It is called ugali,served with sukuma wiki,All very basic but very tasty, Now I need to see more similar vids mmmmmmm 5*****
Very interesting, and humbling at the same time. Here in the U.S. we could never imagine cooking on the dirt floor at our feet. What, no Corian countertop? No All-Clad pot to cook in? What do I wipe my disposable Lysol disinfectant wipes across?
Love this!!!! I've always been interested in other cultures and food. Thank you for this video. I am definitely interested and can't white for the next video
I think this is better than a lot of the PROCESSED FOODS we eat from the supermarkets.

It is bland and tasteless on it's own and nutritionally poor, when Malawi was experiencing it's most serious food crisis the maize required to make Nsima was in short supply.
In Malawi a meal is not a meal without Nsima and their diet has remained very traditional with very little outside influences.
Meat and rice are luxury items while fish is a staple along with vegetable relishes.

The only thing here that is "gross" is you. Take your racism elsewhere.

Really enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing. It IS so very humbling to see these people with so little, dealing with so much over there (AIDS, war, general crime, etc.) but have such spirit and joy.

Very interesting, and humbling at the same time. Here in the U.S. we could never imagine cooking on the dirt floor at our feet. What, no Corian countertop? No All-Clad pot to cook in? What do I wipe my disposable Lysol disinfectant wipes across?
