You cannot call anybody's culture or food gross on their face. Period. Especially if they are being so nice and hospitable.
-
Eli’s behaviour is so upsetting. You can see how Maria feels discouraged as the video goes on. She was so sweet and patient.
-
Maria is such a kind and elegant hostess. Zero waste food is not exotic, is intelligent, nutricious and creative, as it happens in pretty much all South America.
-
Loved learning about Yakutia; Maria was so kind and patient while explaining the foods. Eli, you should learn a lesson from this—be respectful when someone is teaching you about their culture.
-
Pro tip: Don't ask what you're eating until after you actually tried it. It's amazing how differently you can experience the taste and texture without that mental block.
-
Maria is so patient. These are her home dishes so she's accustomed to the flavour. It's actually very nutritious food which is probably why Maria is glowing!
-
Maria's English is extremely accomplished and nearly perfect.
-
I admire these people SO much. I wouldn’t last 15 minutes. I’m vegetarian and feel the cold terribly due to a medical condition. I think you have to be very strong and healthy to survive there.
-
Eli, you surprised me. I expected you to be more tolerant of exotic foods than you were. Your compatriot, Maria was very patient with you. She was truly sweet.
-
Loved the video. Maria seemed quite patient and accepting of her guest. However, I felt as though Eli was critical of every dish and was a little disrespectful of how the traditional dishes looked or tasted like. I felt bad for Maria who kept being polite and she avoided making eye contact with her because honestly, no one would like their traditional dishes to be mocked at or looked down upon. ❤️That's why I love Davidsbeenhere. He is open minded to food across the world
-
Blood sausage is a thing in many places. The whole of UK, Germany, Netherlands, France at the least also do it. I make mine from scratch sometimes.
-
I know you didn’t mean to be rude at all! It’s just best to not complain about what they eat. I’m a Siberian girl from southern Siberia so I can not relate, but it’s always good to be mindful of the people who gave you the local food. They don’t have as many options due to the colder climate. Best act grateful for it
-
Eli can prolly learn a few things from Maria like being respectful, polite and humility which you clearly lacks
-
i absolutely adored hearing maria talk about each dish and it’s origin. she seems extremely soft spoken, kind, and intelligent. i feel i could listen to her forever haha~
-
Admiration, for the indigenous folk; of this culture. The food dishes look hardy and nutritous. Everyone within camera view looks healthy. The men folk look incredibly resilient. The young women folk are attractive with, built-in conditioning; of their home environment. People at the TOP OF THE WORLD 🌎
-
Maria's gracefulness towards Eli's rude behavior and comments actually prompted me to go to her channel to subscribe.
-
OMG, Maria is the sweetest, she is so polite and kind. What a peaceful influence to be around.
-
Omg...the lady (Maria) is sooo softspoken and sweet.
-
Почитав комментарии, я поняла как сильно различается наш менталитет с иностранцами. Мы русские прямолинейные и никто из русских не почувствовал неуважения. Для нас нормально говорить правду в глаза, зачем врать и улыбаться. Это и есть неуважение. Тем более если эти девушки друзья
-
I don't understand why people say Eli was rude. She tried everything and she isn't obliged to like all of this food. I don't think I would be able to take even a bite of intestins. And I don't think Maria was offended.
