In Greece, when we cook the okro (we call them bamies) we go at great lengths to make sure that the their mucus-like substance actually won't come out while cooking: we peel out the top forming a cone so as not to expose their interior, we dry them in the sun with salt and vinegar for some hours and then when we cook them we refrain from stirring them in the pot too much, so that they don't break. It has been really mind-opening for me to realize that in other cultures what we try to avoid is actually sought after. There is such beauty and richness in the differences..

She respected the food, made it as authentic as she could, did her background research which she has many time shown that she does extensively to provide the best outcome, and included her found knowledge to also help teach others, and show that she puts in the work to understand it. So can we please appreciate how beautiful this video was and stop nit picking every little thing you guys can come up with to hate on her video.

It’s hard for people who haven’t eaten it before to get over the “no chewing” part. You can chew it lol just in most cases you don’t really have to. It’s like how some people still chew mashed potatoes because it’s just their natural response to all food.

I think chewing is a good practice. It activates saliva and starts the digestive process.

In trying to not be exclusively ignorant, you've found that my comment is inclusively ignorant 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Love that you’ve tried this. I married a Ghanaian and both his parents lived with us and taught me how to cook all sorts of dishes. Just a tip to add- If you cut the okra into chunks/ rounds and boil them first then strain it and add the cooked okra to the stew ( without the water) it’s not nearly as glutinous. Also, if you cut the goat meat down smaller and brown it in a pan first then pressure cook it with ginger, onion, and seasonings it makes a world of difference in the flavor and texture of the meat. Thrilled to learn of a new way of making fufu. I’ve only ever made it with the powder mix but knew of the true method in Ghana. So wonderful to see someone else embrace this culture and their foods. Yayyy for Emmy!

Your love for food and cultures makes me so happy and a bit emotional, just because you are such a bright light in this world, that can be so dark sometimes💕
