🥒 ABOUT BEFRS:
Hey, I’m Sonny! I’m from the US but I’ve been living in Asia for 10 years and started making food and travel videos to document my experiences. I travel to different parts of the world, hunting down and documenting the most unique food each country has to offer.
If you see any factual food errors in my videos, please feel free to politely let me know in the comments. I'm a huge fan of trying different, interesting foods in each country. My show is from a Western point of view, but more importantly, MY point of view. It is not meant to offend any person or culture.

my best bro sonny looking really handsome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your best bro viki 💙
Very industrialized natives!
Please visit north Eastern part of India you'll find amazing foods and culture
You said something that was wrong cuase pots were probably were probably one of the first things they made once they seen they needed something to hold water so pots were in excistance back then fire looks so easy for them to make yet try going out in the wilderness you yourself and try u will be there for along time I know I know some of you are great survivalist okay that’s just one situation
This is your one of the best Video❣️,your dearest fan from the great India.
You gotta give a credit for this man for bringing Food culture around the world for our entertainment
Woke & vegan activists disagree with you. But I am neither woke nor vegan 😁
@@MuhammadAbdullah-kx3kn yes we can see that after reading your name 😂
We all give him credit for that
Like bait
And education!
I've said it once and I'll say it again. The Hunter gatherer tribes are so generous with guests... Makes me jealous that my life isn't that simple
You can as well go live in the forest just like them where you wouldn't have to pay any bills, but you and i know you wouldn't even wish to live there.
It gets boreding quick
@@CuStywuS It would be nice to have been born into that, but i have too many addictions in this over-stimulating, lazy, consumer bubble-world.
I doubt most people that wish they could live in the wild could survive long. They don't have the luxury of modern ammo and technology to get their food and they eat a lot less food than most of us.
@@CuStywuS I would love to live their life it’s the best life to live for humans
I love how almost all the tribes actually seem so sweet and nice to him, it's good to see that people get along each other not mattering if they're different of have a different life style 💗😊
people are generally nice until there's a fight over resources or something , then evil side shows up
if your nice to people they will be nice back usually
correction - clay pots has a history over 2000 years in Sri Lanka, and spice also has a history over 2000 years again. Part of the Silk Road, Sri Lanka provided gems and spices back in days
Not even a single Sri Lankan did such a great and qualitiy blog in this way. Appriciate it dude.
Agreed
how we can appreciate a hunt 🤔do you like to get hunted
Yes
@@mitchelstarc7159 When you live such a priviledged life you will loose touch with your roots.
@@mitchelstarc7159 This is called survival. Hunting and killing for food. This type of lifestyle have been going on for centuries around the globe especially for the ingenious tribes. We are all living in a a different world and that is a fact.
Always love tribal content! It probably takes much more effort of filmmaking and I highly appreciate the team’s hard work to deliver us episodes like this!
I agreed👍
I hope Govt of India doesn’t ban all its viewer’s IP address and accounts for watching his peacock killing video.
@@kriyasheeli why would they?
Same, it’s just different from other’s places he’s been. Tribal people are the closet modern thing to caveman (no disrespect) and it’s really cool and interesting to see how they live without modern technology and other things
@@hidum5779 he just told you why dummy
This felt like some tribal amazonian blockbuster. Amazing tribes & places like this exist in todays world & big ups to the BEFR’s team for sharing that with the world 🌎 🤩
Those clay pots have been used for centuries in our cultures for cooking, transporting water, etc. Love your channel. It's always a great watch
Sri Lankan is so amazing I think by far the best one, it sucks to see it’s just a few of them left. But having this video just added more history to them :)😊
It's probably because there are apparently no females!!
@@johnpigstrong9018 he meant the number of videos left
I am fromsri lanak
it would be more amazing without politicians.unfortunately they are here
@@johnpigstrong9018 he meant vedda people
I gotta say sonny is soo lucky to be going around the world and tasting different foods, but hes also able to meet different kinds of people. Honestly this is one of the best channel in youtube. I really love the interactions you encounter with hunters. Its amazing.
He’s is lucky but at what cost 😢
@Tastycookbook he could just go to any food trade in the world and it would gather views because of his voice. to do high quality stuff like this is his team`s prerogative
He's a rare breed, not just anyone can go around with the respect, charisma, and bravery he has.
Not luck, hardwork
And balls
This guy unites cultures around food 💖 හොඳමයි ( Hondamayi 🇱🇰 )
I am from Kerala we also used to have these tribes. We called them Vedar. Vedar literally means hunters. Their main living style is hunting. Now hunting is illegal in India and all of them changed to modern lifestyle. I have great respect for them after knowing that they have a code of hunting like never kill pregnant, baby nurturing animals etc
Same in Tamil Vedan means Hunting, worth to mention it was all together in the past with the name ''Kumari Kandam''
@@RaviShankar-it4dk Seriously?? U Tamils really onto to some serious crap
The life that Sonny lives is absolutely incredible! He reminds me of Anthony Bourdain in his own way.
Neve thought of it that way but now I do and your absolutely right.
You are absolutely right,, he does have that Bourdain 'je ne sais qua' quality, I thought I was the only one who saw that.
He was inspired by Bourdain.
He's better than Anthony Bourdain. Sonny is the GOAT of food/cultural reviews.
Exactly, Bourdain's brother from another mother. His way of talking echos Bourdain, we still miss him, but Sonny carry the torch well and we are hungry for more 🌯🍚🍤🍢🫕🥚🍖🥓🍔🧀
I really like how Sonny blends in with all the places that he visits. I commend him for eating stuff that I would never, ever try!
Why not?
Billy Coward
I would never try to eat a freaking peacock besides it's a criminal offence to kill one in India.
@@sandeepp6834 in srilanka too. but only 'wedda' people can kill them
I just love this man , traveling all over the world with no hesitant trying different cultural foodstuffs, what a phenomenal man. He always reminds me about the late Anthony Bourdain. Much love.
money money, he earns money from the videos. So why not 😂
"the pain of existence is just too much" you speak to my soul sonny
For real, now pass the Beetle nut
Next time try to visit Sri Lanka during the month of April to celebrate Sinhala & Tamil New Year season, where you will get to experience plenty of delicious and authentic dishes of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Also unique and traditional celebrations and games of the season.
Yes bro
It"s good .... i'm wadda's from dambana

This is really the best ever food review show. I can even hear Sir David Attenborough's voice. This is top quality. I absolutely love this channel. I'm happy it grew so fast.
He thought you were impotent?? That bit killed me. What a great episode! Thanks very much! I grew up in Sri Lanka but not even our history lessons in school cover this many details. You are an inspiration Sonny. Your narration skills are second to none. As Vedda say... "Hondamai" which translates directly as "Good on you".
impotent* not incompetent.
@@captainroast5889 Cheers! ...ADHD
I don't think he thought that tbh, I think it was more like "whether you decide to have kids or not, I hope you are always happy"
its singala language mixer of hindi and bali
@@abim3365hindi is a recent language which emerged like 700 years ago😂.. sinhala is only second to sanskrit and tamil.. sinhala is older than 2600 years but there are more older evidence.. And hiw the heck bali came here..?😅😂😂
My favorite episode out of all .This man never fails to appreciate any culture. #visitsrilanka 🇱🇰
I met him at the airport when he arrived here.. 🥰
Hey!,Peacock is our national animal!
@@doomslayer8039 indian
@@doomslayer8039 nobody gives a Fu*k about that lmaoooo
@@seema9182 so what
9:32 i felt that moment very much relatable... Because, we often do this in my home at kerala, India.... We do this whenever we cook anything special or on special occasions or festivals....it is considered as a ritual that we offer food to our ancestors and seek their blessings.... It kinda felts like reconnecting with our roots when everything changes so fast around us❤
That’s a common tradition across Hindus in India. Annadata sukhih bhava.
Only one minute into the video and I’m already amazed 💗. When he was eating the beetle Nut and he described the effects being paranoid and feels like he’s late for a job interview 😅 that pretty much describes stimulants
LOL, I worked in Myanmar in the 1990s and our Burmese crew wanted to help us celebrate Christmas. They asked us what we eat for holiday meals. We told them we usually ate turkey. They didn't know what a turkey was but they did cook us a couple peacocks.
Hahahahahahhaahahahhaha
How was the taste?
@@ThorThunder966 Don't remember. It was 1995.
Bet they're excellent deep fried like a turkey!
This is one of the best shows not just on KZhead but around the world!
i am sri lankan and very proud to see my most favorite food hunter in my country.. thank you soo much
Thank you for exposing the hidden cultures of Sri Lanka❤️
What hidden culture, its fake

I always watch this channel at night when hungry
And hunger goes away?
Fascinating, one of your best releases yet! I love the lesser-trekked trails/the unknowns..these are the best videos. We all know how the Paris or New York food and culture scene is, but not many know of indigenous Sri Lankan tribes!
I think the reason why the indigenous tribes/people are so nice to him, it’s because of his good and positive energy. Good energy attracts good energy.
Seeing the Vedda tribe with each other and works with each other Makes this vid very wholesome for me😊
Hahaha I love this dudes humor! 😂 Thanks for bringing out the true origins of Sri Lanka to the world. ❤
Do you from bangladesh or india..?
@@MrAbrham nope. Sri Lankan

Amazing coverage Sonny. This has immense anthropological significance - this is a window into paleolithic life in South Asia and the Veddah are among the most primordial inhabitants of South Asia! Your show is such a great tapestry of culinary entertainment and ethnology.
One of the best episode ever with hunters and gatherers..💖💖💖💖💖 Loved to see the nature of Srilanka, and surprised to see betel nut consumer like us.
Sonny i just want to tell you that you are my favorite content creator and you are amazing! Keep the good work man
Your food videos are better than national geographics. Keep up the great work sonny.
It feels illegal to watch this level of content for free in KZhead ❤️
fr bro
I have seen you in the MR. BEAN Animated series🤣🤣🤣🤣
"One thing i love about human is no matter where you go people will find some kind of way to get high the pain of existence is just too much" You're indeed right
Its so epic how they respect the animals while they sleep play or have children props to them
Sonny takes on a tour of the human existence worldwide in every nook and cranny with the toughest taste buds ever! Just amazing to watch
9:08 If you are following along at home, feel free to substitute Chicken for Peacock. LMAO 🤣😂🤭
When he says “they’re behind me right now” I like to imagine that guy with a bow just aiming at at him😂😂😂
Dame 🤣😂🤣
Sri Lanka is nothing short of magnificent. The country has no shortage of beautiful awe-inspiring spots, natural, historic and cultural, each more picture-perfect than the next . Pearl of the Indian Ocean is given to this small island nation probably due to its incredible natural beauty, extraordinary biodiversity as well as its precious gemstones.
We have noisy peacocks roaming our neighborhood. This is giving me some ideas for next Thanksgiving.
You need more videos like this one but like an hour long with different tribes men around the world
Damn. I'm from Sri Lanka and I've never seen this kind of thing before. Well done!
That peacock's final words gave me chills down my spine 😌
We are all definitely going to hell 😭
4:12 - 4:40
@@pradhumndandir nah
@@ringgame bro we try not to hurt other human's because it's not good. But on the other hand we kill so many animals just to satisfy our taste buds 🙏🏻
ITS YUMMY&DELICIOUS🦚
It's been a few years, so I can't seem to recollect their names. 😔 ... Had met them while motorcycling through Sri Lanka. They showed me their culture & also let me have their bow & arrow for a bit. 🏹 . Happy to see them again through this video 😊 esp the guy cooking the peacock 🦚
We need more videos from Sri Lanka. The grilled meat fermented in honey for a month, is absolutely delicious. You need to try it. Older, the better.
Fermented in honey how can you explain?
Does commercially produced honey will work?
@@its-K69 Most commercially made honey is just feeding the bees with cane sugar. It's different from honey made out of nectar. Cane sugar is not nectar. But it will ferment, but the meat will be s!hitty in taste. You need wild honey. Or else you need to find a commercial bee hives with alot of flowers around. Nectar has a scent in it, where the cane sugar does not.
One of the best content ever... A recipe directly from the tribes of the Sri Lankan Jungle...
It's always amazing to see how isolated tribes adapt to their surrounding. I love how their cooking methods are more efficient, sanitary and advance than most of the other tribes' that have been showed in this channel.
Trillion times I appreciate and admire your work sonny.... It's been a 4/5 years following you
Mann this dude is hilarious🤣 "puke like when I had chewing tabacco when I was 15" had me rolling lmao
Loved the part where he said....do you have any more drugs lol. He is hilarious.
As a fellow sri lankan I appreciate when big youtube channel create vidoes about our country it reminds me we are not just a small island ,we are the pearl of the indian ocean😊😁
It's really a great way to learn the culture of every countries by watching your video
I didn't knew srilankan people are so diverse What an episode sonnny Bring some more
1:57 LMAO His face is so priceless when he abruptly turns away. He's like "Wtf did you just say to me?" and then the next guy grabs his hands and corrects him like "look bro, you can't be saying that kinda shit around here."
Wow sunny 🥳 i didn't know that you came to my country I got lost watching your vlogs, anyway nice to know that you came to visit our country
Culo binanca?
As a Sri Lankan, I must say that this documentary is truly remarkable.❤❤
This series brought me so much joy. I went to Sri Lanka for a month in the summer of 2018, volunteering for that duration as well as traveling and exploring. The culture, the food and just everything about Sri Lanka while I was there has been one of the most unforgettable and amazing experiences I've ever had. I'm happy that there is a Sri Lankan restaurant near me where I can experience a portion of the amazing food I had there and I hope to go back soon. I miss this country and everything about it so much
That line about Humans everywhere needing stimulants of some kind to cope with the pain of existence was gold. Had me cackling.🤣🤣
its a blessed, friendly and funny of sri lankan tribe...skill survival and cooking technique is awesome
8:45 love that grandpa's kitchen reference, salt, mixwell!!
Thank you so much for your video Sonny🥰. As Sri Lankans, these videos are extremely important in promoting tourism to our country during this period of economic crisis.❤
Very poor country Sri Lanka... Love from India
I think its really cool how they made the grill real fast and the sand filtering water mind blowing thanks for great content sunny ☀️😎
The fact that they don't even kill animals when they are sleeping or drinking water is super commendable. Especially when u have to hunt to live
how they clean the water that was awesome👍👍
Dude was shaking pretty good making his fix. Think Sonny felt left out. That peacock came out looking good. The people were awesome and really are good for the land and animals. So cool I got to see their customs and ways. Much respect. Was fun to watch. Great video
Awesome! Love watching your videos of indigenous peoples and their culture! It’s so important to keep them from going extinct! Sadly many will and we as a species will loose much of our diversity. Please keep these videos coming, it’s wonderful to watch and learn! Peace ✌️
Humour, interesting fun plus most importantly of all Respect for the culture being experienced..👍❤️
I hope you visit Samar, Philippines and do an indept research and survey of the food and history. I grew up there, but I don't know that much.
I am a Sri Lankan, thank you for showing me something Sri Lankan, but we have never had a meal like that.👍හොඳමයි🇱🇰

I love Sonny's voice and his sense of humor 🤭
I love how comfortable you look while being uncomfortable. You are the man
🇱🇰 As a Sri Lankan I can conformed that some of Vaddas even have Iphones .
That is how indigenous communities of any nation must be preserved and be left alone to live their livelihoods. They are the real caretakers of nature. ❤️
"The pain of existence is just too much!" 🤣🤣🤣
Great job! Many Sri Lankans may not know the existence of these tribal men in their country, but with videos like this, many now know and appreciate their ways of life.
A great trip, a beautiful country with kind people...I'm in Sri Lanka ❤😊
Here in Kerala, the Malayalam word for hunter is 'vedan'
Thank you we appreciate you visit Sri Lanka thank you brother 😍😍🥰
every tribe and culture is so interesting! Thank you for capturing the beauty of them from all senses.
this man is just as excited to try a new natural drug as he is to try a new food lol
this is one of your best love it WELL DONE JUST LIKE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHICS
Thank you very much for visiting Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Sonny ❤️🔥 Been waiting all this time 😮 Btw Veddah are not the earliest tribe in Sri Lanka. They were started around 530 BC 🙊
Fyi, ඔවා ඉස්කෝලෙ කියලා දිපු බොරු. මෙයාල යක්ෂ ගෝත්රිකයන්ගෙන් පැවතෙන අය, විජය එන්නත් කලින් ඉදන්. බොරු නම් වැද්දෙක්ගෙන්ම අහලා බලන්න.

@@eltiger-thetiger6915 don’t be childish bruh,, didn’t u learned this stuff in yr history classes??
These veda tribe are also in India (Kerala). Earlier they were forest hunters but today they are living like normal people.
@@eltiger-thetiger6915 This is the stupidest comment I’ve ever seen 😂
Keep exploring Sri Lanka, there's more to witness 😍❤ Wow the Veddha people got a great hospitality spirit 👏Never knew they hunt peacock 🤔
Stop killing the beautiful birds !!! eat fruits and vegetables
For religious reasons they don’t eat the peacock..that’s what I heard. Lord Murugan’s consort,Valli, is supposedly from this tribe. And, peacock is the holy bird, associated with Lord Murugan. I read that the Veddas do not kill the peacocks. So, it was disgusting to see them kill it and eat it here…Kali Yuga!!
I saw the title of the book video and was like nooooo then I saw the thumbnail and was like ooooo he cute! I immediately forgot about that bird 😂😂😂
Peacock: to stay alive, son, we have to play a lot, drink a lot of water, sleep a lot…
Thanks so much for bringing my country out there during this crazy situation
As a Sri Lankan I learnt a lot! Amazing video as always team ❤🇱🇰
When the pain of existence is just too much: Hondamayi! 😂😂😂
Dont knock peacock until you try it! Very nice had one for Christmas a few years ago and im english!😂
The pain of existence is too much...golden line! ❤👌
I'm so petty to peacock, it is very nice tail. They are the professional hunting and freedom live👍
