Super RARE Kenyan Village Feast!!! First time caught on camera!!

let me know when you're ready for another one it's ready I'm excited yes all right let's do it today we're in Kenya leaving Mombasa and heading into the countryside for a village food feast like no other Wendy and I are joining mama Casa and the guerrilla people a bunch of Kenyan community who occupy the Kenyan coast to air that people are known for being very friendly and hospitable this is a place where locals like Bama cogsa raise turkeys but never eat them until today now you're gonna have all these delicious turkeys walking around it's gonna be so tempting to cook them from the Protein the best part is you have no idea what any part is to the booze oh I already feel my headache tomorrow so pack your machetes hug a turkey and prepare yourself for Kenyan food like you have never seen before [Music] [Music] before we dive deep into village life here we're gonna get a quick taste for local life at the local market here eating local is not a challenge as vendors bring their produce fish and snacks from nearby villages and already something tasty has caught my eye I think school just got out if there's about 15 kids around us but then they also curious and equally freaked out if I make eye contact they back away Kenyan potato chips for an affordable price this lady is filling bellies with the area's finest snack sensations it's called piazza karai so it's a deep-fried potatoes they put it in a batter that's made with wheat flour and they've added some food coloring to it are these Kenyan Doritos I guess you could say that all right I'm gonna this is tamarind sauce it's very common in the coast uh-huh is that like tangy flavour to all this and then we can have this little sauce yes so here we go we've got oh by the way what is in the news today one really smart guy new wonders can come out of the blue so a lot of good news today you can check it out while you eat your favorite streets next Oh show y'all me mmm you get the part with the tamarind yeah it's a little sour I love that sweet sour and salty and the chip is like an old fried potato it's just kind of a little cold little mushy the garlic in there so your money mmm I love these my goodness how many times am I going to say then are you hungry you want some yeah see you let the record show do you want a name okay I know people will comment all those kids they want some you don't feed them anything no they really just curious that's they just want to see what we're doing that's it that's it [Music] I'm finally gonna get a look at local village light here for the Guru Yama people each family lives in a pod of home with house is made from play and topped with palm leaves the kids are playing the women start dinner prep and Sam introduces me to the staple crop in this area what is it I'll have to dig it up to find out [Applause] today is a special day because today we're going on a hunt for one of the most elusive creatures in the jungle the cassava root right yeah cassava is the miracle plant growing in the toughest of conditions in poor soil with little rain it's the most important energy source for people here look at this and you wouldn't grow tomatoes in this is such a super sandy silty it doesn't need too much war time because it's drought resistant the last three months we've been having no rain and is doing [Music] [Applause] [Music] wow that's a big cassava right there huh yeah I'm told the long ones are just as good as the short ones right yeah that's right it should be stated that cassava should not be eaten raw due to trace amounts of cyanide that must be boiled and rinsed out the chemical compound inside can cause vertigo vomiting and collapse oh it's very firm I found this out after taking a bite now it tastes like a giant almond cool like crunchy chewy texture not chewy like um robust luckily I'm alive to munch cassava another day no vertigo or sudden death here but it is advised that next time you enter a village in Kenya ask for the cooked cassava we collect enough cassava for dinner since we are here Sam brings me to a local liquor store which is actually just a palm tree you can get drunk yeah very young leg you get drunk yeah yeah I've done that before it's one of my favorite things it's actually the palm sap sound we used to cook play Muhammad demand Ozzy some people like drink as well okay yeah well I like that one more typically the sap is collected from the cut flowers of the palm tree a container is fastened to the flower stump to collect the SAP they even notched out the tree to make climbing it's super easy um I think I'm stuck Oh can we do a trust fall type situation I'm gonna fall back and I need six of you to interlock arms and catch me some people are better built to fight the forces of gravity but I am NOT I feel like those steps could have been a little bit bigger but that's fine so this is the SAP and it has just a little bit of a sour smell to it some people call this coconut wine but there's no actual like coconut flavor or juice it's very different from that it's just kind of a sweet and sour smell inside [Music] the cassava finds its way back to the village where it's peeled and cut into small pieces by the women they are the backbone of this community and if they are the backbone then right now the men are the boozed-up liver the white liquid that initially collects is non-alcoholic before it ferments oh it's quite sweet yeah I bet kids'll love this yeah most of the freshmen we gave to the little babies so then they grow strong but after a few days it begins to pack an alcoholic punch fully testing a man's fortitude for unrefined spirits oh yeah that is a force to be reckoned with yeah I already feel my headache tomorrow yeah by the way I drink it in my stomach is like a turbulent storm of acid but it is very nice but it's very nice in this village what is the normal diet here most of the de Maynes friend then they cook it like become some garlic then boot right we have got the cow chicken the turkeys which those thing they're from the time that you were a kid growing up here until now what has changed in this village most of the people of my age did not go to school now the children are going to school that's big achievement ah I think so too from locals in Nairobi to the Masai and finally here it's clear there's no one way of life for people in Kenya in this particular village there seems to be more progress each day kids go to nearby schools and there seems to be plenty of food even enough to feed me what do you call this again this is a Kino Kino oh this is ma Mikasa the head chef for dinner today coordinating all the cooking activities and ensuring that everything is on the right track right now she's showing me how to make banana bread or canola so we've got like 28 bananas in here that's nice so now we're putting in the maze pour it in a bin and add back in more okay enough enough all right there we go it's getting a much thicker now so we do after this you put them in a banana juice we wrap both of them in this react with the water we put them on fire then after 15 minutes it's ready I'm excited yes what we have here is a knife chair you kind of stabilize it with your bodyweight and then you can scrape out all of this coconut meat that is really cool the grated coconut is later squeezed thus providing coconut milk which is brought to a boil with the cassava so I notice you have salt yes so what do you sell to have money to buy the salt the coconut tree is helping a solution gives us the coconut out of these branches we get also brooms that yourself what do you need to buy that you can't get here maize fish things like paraffin to see when I usually put paraffin and a piece of God then a little candle yeah now it is hard to title a video village food feast if we're only eating cassava but then I spotted these guys here villagers raise turkeys for nearby high-end restaurants in fact mama qotsa has never even tasted turkey until today maybe is hitting a turkey too we're going to the neighbor's house and we're gonna negotiate for a turkey hold on what kind of tactics so they're going to quite the highest price yeah you're like you a slash it done by half that's your starting point ah and then maybe you meet somewhere in the middle yeah I'm gonna try that and when they quote a price I'll be disgusted really are you being serious right now after a couple phone calls we meet a turkey seller down the road and the highly sophisticated and tactical game of Turkey negotiation begins this is your turkey um okay this is a little wrinkled what kind of price were you thinking that's annoyed 4,000 loads I don't know what do you think of like 2,000 I just want to say we're you know we're filming this right if you don't go down at all my audience is gonna think I'm so stupid how much are you going to chop off the top hundred 100 yeah that's what you negotiate okay sir you got a deal I still feel like we could have knocked this down [Music] Lombok at Seoul I brought you a turkey I negotiated hard I think I did a pretty good job how many did 3,000 and 900 this was very cheap are you serious yes how much is this usually 5000 sit still about 50 $60 for a turkey is this a good size it's that big one but a lot of meat for everybody here right now they are cutting the Tuck into pieces do you keep the feet no we don't you it's very enough I eat the feet but we don't need to I was trying to sound cool and it backfired dang it cooking the turkey well it's gotta be similar to cooking chicken right chop it into little pieces and stew it with a bit of water and salt while we wait for the main course the appetizer banana bread do you have a fun name that you would call it got a nice bite let's try it out oh that is delicious that's very sweet it's a perfect marriage of maize flour and banana yeah this is my first time having this because away from the coast people don't really make this all I love it so much it's one of my favorite things I've eaten on this trip is so simple so yummy I can't wait to show you guys the camera guys not you guys you guys are at home how will you eat this you can't eat it come here and then you can eat it [Music] everyone's come from around the village maybe they smelled the turkey from afar I know she's kind of serving up everybody we've got a bit here we broke away for the moment I just want to try a really quick on camera before all the light is gone let's try out this cassava that I dug up by hand I mean I saw it being dug up by hand he works hard for it okay let's go mmm I love that starchy texture yeah yeah like it tastes a lot effort to dig through it with your teeth mmm because I was one of the most underrated starches ever they're coconut in it I just make the best bread so it's got some like fattiness from the coconut in there yeah giving it a little bit of like oiliness yeah I know we've got a turkey and the best part is you have no idea what any part is because they just hack it into pieces and boil it sorry guys that food shots are not so yummy today a little dark anyways it's like a bit tough and chewy already I can feel with my fingers that's surprising really amazing tastes exactly like a chicken it tastes like Turkey to me it is a low drive when my piece is quite good oh my god I love it everyone's just pumped have you having some turkey including me mmm so good [Music] this is one of the best meals I've had in recent memory but the best part still is sharing with everyone here and learning about the local way of life it's really good right yes yeah well it's all cause of you great cook five out of five on Yelp yeah here in the village people really depend on each other there's a real sense of community
