🇨🇷 Costa Rican Street Food Tour: https://youtu.be/WMkg42p4FMU?si=CxZ3HJSB1FjxzKT3
🔸 Huge thank you to @mytanfeet for arranging this amazing experience!
San Rafael de Guatuso, Costa Rica – We had an honor to visit and learn from the Maleku Tribe in Costa Rica, and they invited us to try their local cuisine. It was an incredible experience and I’m very excited to share it with you here!
Indigenous tribes in Costa Rica are the only people allowed to hunt in Costa Rica, just as they’ve done for thousands of years. They are very much in tune with nature and they never hunt or damage nature in any unsustainable way. They use everything they get. Today they had an iguana, a common part of the Maleku people diet. The preparation was very simple – just boiled with cassava.
Additionally they also cooked fish wrapped in leaves and a banana leaf packet, then roasted in fire. And a whole chicken cooked with vegetables, and finally a roasted plantain mashed in water as a beverage – this is something they mentioned that every Maleku person drinks from kids to adults – part of their traditional nutrition.
It was an educational meal and really memorable to learn about the Maleku Tribe, original Costa Ricans and their traditional, often unseen, foods.
Again a huge thank you to Yeison and Samantha from @mytanfeet for arranging this entire experience.

Ngl is he really outta touch ????
Comes women with nanny in Restaurant and waiter don't know what would young women eat because don't know any languages and waiter bring a sale to their two a fish and in other part of planet in same time women which don't like eat any animal or meat work with live animal factory for eating finished after food and she's terrified to all that and comes after when all people see her emotion tell that why are than with us here in factory and she says that she is terrified but money is good.
Point is in some culture very far away people are ready sacrificing them self and your own life to eat live animal food because they want to be close to goods and become one of them and give respect of life and living .
Simply .
Food of the Gods .

I definitely did not see anyone selling Iguana when I was in Costa Rica lol. I doubt I would be brave enough to try it anyways even if someone offered me iguana. 🤣🤣
Mark, your attitude towards different cultures is absolutely admirable! So much respect and so much to learn, thank you for the content you create!
