This is Part 2 of our Ethiopian village cultural food tour. If you haven’t already seen Part 1, you can watch it here:

From the incredible Konso Village, we drove back to Arba Minch in Ethiopia, and then continued driving into the mountains, to a Dorze ethnic people village, high into the misty peaks. This is the village where Dessie is originally from, and also our driver, so they know everyone there. It was amazing to arrive to the village.

One of the amazing parts of Dorze Ethiopian culture are their elephant shaped traditional huts, which are unique and one of a kind, shaped like elephants. One of the main most important foods of the Dorze is false banana, also known as ensete. It’s called a false banana because they plant does not produce banana fruit, but just giant leaves, and you eat the stump.

Aunty made a number of extremely unique dishes, including a false banana porridge, and a false banana pancake, along with coffee leaves tea - something I had never seen or ever heard of before.

Visiting the Dorze of Ethiopia was an incredible culture and food learning experience, and it was an honor to have a chance to visit on this Ethiopian food tour trip.

Thanks to Dessie from Go Addis Tours (goaddistours.com/) for arranging everything on this trip.

    I’m in love with this village! I nearly cried when they set that beautiful breakfast table full of green and flowers for him and said that how they welcome their guests. ❤️

    I am Ethiopian, born and raised there, and I never tested this food and I have never been to that part of the country. Mark you are introducing me to my country.

    I am smiling while watching this video. In Ethiopian culture there is a saying “ from the food they offer you the smile they receive you is more worthy or to that extent ...” when Ethiopians smile and feed you you feel like you are in heaven... because food is important but the true happiness that embraces everyone is more meaningful and it makes you love and appreciate life more... this is what this video represents. Thank you for sharing!!!

    So many villages in Africa are considered poor, however I see them as rich in culture and community spirit. Everyone helps for the betterment of their community, they look so happy. Mankind could learn from them rather than killing each other, and consuming more and more. Materialistic world, greed, when there's enough for everyone.

    When I went to Africa, to the Maasai people in Tanzania, I was blown away by their friendliness and hospitality. It's criminal how Africa and Africans have been treated by the West, and humbling how welcoming they are even so.
  • And there's the reason why they live for ages with no sickness like cancer diabetes etc...! Everything is organic and healthy and made from their surroundings.

  • @bellaolum1230
    Wow this is real traditional life, I'm from neighbouring Kenya and I hardly see huts in our villages, everyone is building modern houses. People don't even use this pounding thing anymore, I never even saw it as I grew up in the city. I'm so impressed by their simple lifestyle! ! The food looks delicious and the people look happy and healthy ☺

    Teaching Micah to be unafraid of different cultures is a brilliant way to show love. Now I know why Mark and Ying are so happy and grounded.
