Go Addis Tours: Thank you to Go Addis Tours for taking me on this amazing ultimate food and market tour of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Ethiopia is one of my favorite countries in the world for food and travel, and this was my second time to visit, and I was eager to explore and eat as much as possible. We started early, 5 am in the morning and Go Addis Tours picked me up to start at the wholesale market. Even though the city is still sleeping, Addis Mercato is buzzing from 3 am when trucks full of produce from all over Ethiopia, sell them at the market in Addis Ababa. Youll find all the ingredients, and massive amounts, that you need to cooking Ethiopian food. It was a good warm up, to get to know some of the ingredients, before starting the day eating Ethiopian food. We had coffee, and breakfast, both of which were excellent. Later after visiting another market, Dessie took me to his neighborhood to eat shiro wat, one of the greatest of all Ethiopian foods, a thick and rich chickpea stew. Ive had shiro wat many times before, but never have I seen it fully prepared right in front of me. The shiro was incredibly good, piled onto a bed of injera, and we also ordered fir fir, a mashup of injera, simmered with tomato sauce and berbere. Next we headed to a fish restaurant in Addis Ababa. Ethiopia is landlocked, so all fish is freshwater. We ordered fried fish, and asa lebleb, a mixture of fish sauteed with spices and herbs. Both were excellent, but the asa lebleb was the highlight because it was so flavorful. Next Ethiopian food meal we went to one of the longtime classic restaurants to eat one of the best platters of beyaynetu in Addis Ababa. Beyaynetu is a mix of vegetarian dishes. It was again, a delicious meal, I especially love the tomato salad there. For our final meal of the day, and to finish off this extreme Ethiopian food tour, we went to one of the most well known and best quality meat restaurants in Addis Ababa to eat tere siga - raw meat. You are served a variety of chunks of raw beef, delicately sliced. Then you slice it into bite sized pieces on your own, wrap in injera, and dip into chili sauce before taking a bite. Its awesome. The fried meat version is also very good. This was an amazing day, and an amazing Ethiopian food tour in Addis Ababa. Thank you Go Addis Tours If you visit Addis Ababa, check out Go Addis Tours

One love africa, Africa man from Holland the hustle continue. Africans always happy no matter what, after westerners in western world we say Ethiopia don't have food? what are you all seeing now is not food? Is it stones? CNN, BBC AND THE REST OF WESTERN NEWS ALWAYS PROJECT AFRICA IN A BAD WAY, WHILE THEY PROMOTE THIER OWN CULTURE AS THE BEST, IF YOU SEE THE TRUTH SAY THE TRUTH WESTERNERS, BECAUSE GOD ALMIGHTY IS WATCHING, THANKS MARK WIENS FOR PROJECTING AFRICA IN A POSITIVE LIGHT, THANKS. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, I PRAY NETFLIX GIVES YOU A DEAL VERY VERY SOON TO SHOWCASE THE WORLD, SO PEOPLES EYES CAN BE OPEN AND NOT TO BE AFRIAD TO EXPLORE.

Today, Thursday June 6, 2019 I discovered thee most amazing guy and his videos of foreign foods and cultures. I became a Junkie in just a matter of 3 hours Mark your work is incredible, the added plus is you have your lovely wife and beautiful son with you. I really cannot tell you how much I love your videos, I feel like Ive found a treasure trove today. Thank you for sharing these people their cultural foods and surroundings. All of my life I have always wanted to be able to do what you are doing. I am unable to travel now due to serious health problems, and I feel almost like I am there So grateful to you (Africa-my favorite continent)

Zzz sorry I thought the food was laying on towel until it was ripped off and dipped. When I went to Shangrila in the mountains in China Tibet we went to a family and the animals were on the ground floor then family on the second floor. We had tea and yak milk but it was soooo salt. We didn't know if that was what yak milk tasted like or they put salt in tea like your coffee. If I drank coffee like you I wouldn't sleep for the week

I can't see how this can be healthy. There's not much leafy greens, tons of oil and butter. I've eaten Ethiopian for 16 years, at many different restaurants and home cooked as well. Kitfo, tere sega, all kinds of tibs, and wats. I really enjoy eating Ethiopian food but I can only have it once a month. I wonder how do some Ethiopians stay fit and healthy eating Ethiopian food.

I am Ethiopian I love Indian food as well, but they too very different food and spicy It's very easy to cook and use Indian food, but it's really almost impossible to but together Barbary the main Ethiopian spice, which it make it super unique and if am not Ethiopian I would still fall in love with this beautiful color full testy food ever I love my culture

Do people wash their hands before and after they eat? How do they manage never up to get dirty? Sorry but I could not handle sharing a huge platter of food with a whole bunch of people with hands that have not been washed that's assuming they have not been washed and I have not seen anybody wash their hands on the shows

No way they are holding 150kg on their heads walking like nothing. These people are tiny, strong men like Brian Shaw and Eddie Hall and Hafthor barely get about 180-200kg up above their head, and they are strong men weighing in over 190kg. I dunno, seems like the locals were misreading the weight.

Thanks for making this mark. My family have a close connection to Ethiopia and weve been lucky enough to visit Addis and lalibella too. Ethiopian food is some of the best in the world so Im happy to see it introduced to more people

I was also surprised to see that a lot of the cars on the streets are old models (kinda cars I saw when I was a kid, living in Nigeria I always thought every African country had modern cars (Im not judging just observing)
