Abidjan is the biggest city, and home to some incredibly tasty street bbq - including a unique vertical bbq and some of Africas fastest BBQ! Today were going on a full Ivorian street food tour!A huge thank you to my friend Mo Soumahoro from Belle Cote dIvoire (https://www.instagram.com/bellecotedivoire/) for arranging my trip and setting up everything!1. Breakfast - we started early in the morning and headed for a rare dish of steamed corn with thick sour milk porridge. It was unique and very hearty in the morning.2. Plakali - One of the most beloved Ivorian foods is plakali, a thick stew of crabs and seafood with cow skin and okra. Its a dish with so many components and texture and absolutely incredible.3. Fried snacks - When youre in Cte dIvoire you dont want to miss all the delicious fried snack youll find all over Abidjan. It was awesome to hang out with Yasmine Fofana (https://www.instagram.com/afrofoodie/)4. Pique chicken and fish and Ivorian choukouya - From this entire Abidjan street food tour, probably my favorite dish was the pique chicken and fish and the West African choukouya. The chicken and fish were skewered then marinated in spices and pepper then grilled in a sandbox - vertical bbq style. It kept the meat juicy and full of flavor. They also made delicious choukouya, where the chicken is first grilled, chopped, and mixed with onions and seasoning. Its absolutely amazing.5. Market + sandwich - Next up we continued on this West African street food tour at the market to see some local ingredients, and a tasty onion and egg sandwich.6. Brochette and bread - Another classic Abidjan street food is grilled small skewers of meat stuffed into French bread with kankankan. Its one of the fastest grilling techniques Ive seen, and unbelievably tasty.7, Grilled meat ending - Finally we had one more stop to eat more grilled meat, choukouya. Cant get enough!Social Media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markwiensfoodvideos Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/migrationology/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@markwiens T-shirts: https://store.migrationology.com/ Ghost Chili: https://amzn.to/3PNTvNQ Camera gear I use: https://amzn.to/3FVdBUd (some of these are Amazon affiliate links)
