BELIZEAN FOOD in San Ignacio, Belize 😋 

😋 🏜️

It's a place that just draws you in and you never want to leave somehow, right? I think it's the people that make you fall in love with it. What did you like the most about San Ignacio or your favorite thing to do there?

Sorry for the late reply, I've been sick lately and your comment made me feel so much better! 🤗 Thank you!!! I'll start saving up for my next trip then 😚

My pleasure 😊 Belize has a special place in my heart

Right? Everything I put in my mouth was amazing, the fruits tasted like it was just plucked from the trees, dishes were wholesome! Sometimes when I get hungry, I watch the videos to remind me how good they tasted lol 😂

Thank you very much!

You bet! If you're interested in Belize, check out other videos with Belize locals, the Mayan ruins and getting to San Ignacio 😉

@@MelMashbatyou needed to go to a Belizean Restaurant for the real deal. Cook by a real Belizean woman !!

@@mariemapp4636 Yes, watch out for my next next video of Caye Caulker! Amazing food is coming up ;-)

would love to visit Jamaica, too! Anthony Bourdain's episode in Jamaica is forever etched in my brain 😅

@Mel Mashbat You should, I highly recommend it. It would definitely be an experience if you explore beyond the resorts.

Thaaaank you! Next time I'm in Belize, I really wanna take my time and go to less touristy towns and just hang out with locals. I have a question, is there a book somewhere that tells you how to be a great Belizean? I'm just wondering bcuz every Belizean I've ever met is super proud of their country and the nicest person! Like u guys have unwritten rules or a book you live by! In Mongolia, we're kinda the same, but not everyone though 😅 😅 😅

@@MelMashbat XD haha Honestly You're absolutely welcome. Hope you can find Belize to be a sort of 2nd home when you happen to pass by or visit whole heartedly. Indeed you should but i realize for a tourist or foriegner time is a huge factor depending on their intended stay. But definitely you should Check out the least Touristy spots. I'd probably explain and share stories but it would be too much to add here. Even as a Belizean sometimes we dont go to none of those nice places, Not because we cant but mainly it's like a 1 time deal. Why spend on that when you can practically get way better food at the local fav spots. Richer food is better. Especially with great company or casual outings. A book huh haha Probably Probably, I dont really think so. It's been quite a while since i've seen any Belizean books but I know of one book i read back in highschool by the Govenor General. Patakiful Tells a bit about Belize and some of the stuff Belizeans see or live. As to whether it tells you how to be a Belizean :) Idk But i can tell you to be a Belizean is basically to add the idea of Everyday being a party of sorts. People here always are on the look out to enjoy themselves and it's a near accurate cultural moral. To be be a belizean is to know early is bad and reaching 2 hours late is basically on time. Have a few beers, relax as to there is no need to rush anything. And most of all when in rome do as the romans do. Have fun, and just be yourself as you join in on the many festivities or just simply peaceful lives we lead. Just too much to share in one reply :) XD Belizeans are proud fun people and definitely friendly. I think its due to the fact we are really intermingled within the many cultures and races here. We aren't perfect but i cant say we have much of any issues with one another. I't's a very young and small country. Just about any and everyone is a friend/family member or someone you know. Plus Tourists and Foreigners coming in means a steady lively hood. It's necessarily due to the econmic gain or marketing but also It's just the way we are. It takes no real effort to create and make a connection with someone however short or long term it may be. AS a result :p even they get their home/store/restaurant or in this case country show cased? That's already something big for any Belizean. Tourism is one of the biggest job or type of employment. And anyone coming to Belize imo that actually explores and joins in on the Belizean lifestyle is already an honary Belizean. Feel free to ask if there is anything i can maybe help explain.

wow Thank you for an amazing insight! Morals and the culture of a country always fascinate me, especially when they're ingrained in almost everyone! I would be greatly honored if next time I'm in Belize, you'd be a guest in my video!

@@MelMashbat No Prob :) I'm Glad i could share a bit about Belize. I know there are far more capable Belizeans who have more knowledge but some of the little i could share. It's a not an issue ^^ . I followed your insta, Was considering to answer and tell you more there. Just figured id wait and see what your thoughts were. As for when ever you ever around again. Sure, I can always Tag along or help you where i can. I suppose we can chat more about the Guest aspect of your video some time or the other :) It's always a Great Experience meeting someone who appreciates Belize for its raw beauty and what it has to offer. 😁😆

hi, sorry for the late reply, are you asking for "Erva's?"

really, what for? 🤓

I know, right?! But google and you'll find a lot of blogs saying that, i was pretty pissed

Interesting point! 🤓 Belize is on the mainland of Central America, although it does have hundreds of islands in the Caribbean sea. And according to Wiki and Belize's official website, it's part of both. And I'm referencing "Caribbean" in my video as I always dreamt of enjoying fish from the Caribbean and swimming in it, too. 😉

@@MelMashbat i am Belizean, so thank you for using the internet to explain to me how the ocean means you are no longer in central America but the Caribbean ... and there call Cayes babes 👌

If you watched it closely, I never said that "Belize is located IN the Caribbean". 😉 The opening sentence says "my first time in the Caribbean and in the jungles of Belize", referencing my other videos made snorkeling IN the Caribbean, in the CAYES & my other video in San Ignacio. Check out my other Belize videos to see if I made any mistakes, cheers 😘

@@MelMashbat like i said thanks for using wiki to explain belize to me 🤭🤭 ill subscribe to see when you visit Mexico and talk about your wonderful time in North America or the lovely caribbean country of Guatemala😍
